Comment Are you trapped in the prison of your own mind (Score 2) 347

This "genius" grant winner may not have free will, but i do.
Have you never argued with yourself about something. Flipped a coin and then chosen plan c instead. Or is it always just my brain said unga, so I must bunga. Utter nonsense, you keep living in your little black and white world with its sudo choice and predestined conclusions.
I choose to read slashdot and never respond for years on end, i also choose to respond on something as irrelevant as this topic just because i can and feel like it.
I absolutely and utterly dislike the taste of beetroot. Yet once every other year I will eat a slice just to make sure i actually dislike it and am not fooling myself into believing something just because i think it. Till this day I very much still dislike the taste of that liquid drainage from a garbage bag.

Comment a cup of life (Score 2) 78

So the thing is, i drink a lot of coffee and so far i'm still alive. Study must be true right...Source, just trust me bro.

Overall coffee has a lot going on in it. Proper quality coffee beans contain over 800+ chemical components and although many of these are volatile types and mainly contributes towards the smell it gives off. There are also many others forming stuff like long chain polymers containing a wide variety of natural acids that can form during the process, like malic and citric acid, that can form as the brew cools down. The main point here is that coffee should only be dominantly bitter if it is made poorly, of low quality, old or burnt. If your coffee tastes bad one of these conditions apply.

Specialty grade coffee's flavor will change over time, as the brew transitions from hot to cold, creating what is called complexity in the cup. The regular loss of carbon dioxide over the course of roughly 2 weeks from when the coffee was roasted is considered as the period the coffee is fresh for. This would be where you would get the most potential flavor/benefits from it. This would include things like higher levels of antioxidants and noticeably more potent caffeine, flavor intensity, flavor variety and things like body, sweetness, balance and more.

Question : Do you tend to eat fresh products like bread, fruit and vegetables or do you prefer it 1+ years from production date.
Your coffee sucks because it is old. Coffee oxidizes over time and ground coffee exponentially so. Don't hate, caffeinate.

The game would need boundaries for vision distance and virtual sound propagation as input on the AI virtual character(the AI must get the same input as the human player) 5.1ch surround *mmm 5.0 should be fine. No amount of programming yet will make the AI "feel the bass" HEY! This might actually work and it could be useful. Terminator style game against a robot. Good practice 4 when they really come and bust down your door one day.

Why not just use the first AI to "create" the game world. Where it only controls environmental factors and positioning. The second AI must log in to the game or stage just like the human player. It would have the same limiting factors, a human player has when the Level controlling AI only discloses info on location in the same way it does to the human player. The AI player can aim on its own. The levelAI controls the random factor. It then comes down to the I part of the AI
