arxiv is a free site. Anybody here can read up on BERT and what it improved upon and is still limited by, one-shot learning, Monte Carlo Tree Search, and whatever is going on in computer vision since I don't keep up with that as closely as the other three.

Read those and then stop falling for fancy showman presentations which is why it took way more years than it needed for people to see how full of shit someone like Elon Musk was

Not even remotely close lol

There is a void in my life rn

Hmm sounds interesting

I really got into the anime Overlord specifically because of the player-created NPCs. Always wanted a game like that, with Dragon's Dogma being the closest I've seen so far

Yeah I had it on PS5 but got distracted by other games. I got a 4090 a few months ago so I preordered it on PC for some raytraced goodness, and also to play co-op with some friends who didn't want to or couldn't get a PS5

It's certainly made me hate the internet more, so there is that

It was very tempting to go to edgelord teenager mode and being happy that the game was a success just out of spite from everyone who acted like buying the game was a war crime and not shut the fuck up about it, but I decided to not to let the super vocal asshole minority ruin it for everyone else

An example of this would be any of the MAGFest facebook groups, meanwhile there's been a Harry Potter wand vendor there every fucking year. No protests in front of that stand at any point right there at the convention, instead everybody acts tough behind Twitter

Overall probably like a top 30 game for me

As a Soulsborne, tied for first with Dark Souls 3 for me and that might change if DLC happens. But note that I barely played Bloodborne and Demon's Souls.

Just steadily get back into it in your free time. Trace a character from a picture, and then get creative by adding a dick to it

Snape definitely used a homemade spell to steal Lilys milk right out of Harrys mouth when he was feeding so he could drink it.

Nope he still fits the trope.

And this is a good example of why people are going to largely dismiss the points being brought up in the Twitter posts this topic is about. Because the slacktivist types always go on this tinfoil hat like journey to make a point and when somebody says it's clearly wrong and reaching they just double down on it. Like you still not grasping the Magical [word] trope even though there's a eli5 article for it on wikipedia that's easy to read.

That collaborative twitter thread could very well be entirely correct, but after years of shit like this people in general have grown tired of it and will go into reading it already being super skeptical. It's kinda crazy how you can't see that continuing doing the same shit just hurts the cases where actually valid points are being made. But it's w/e, you think you're right so good 4 u

The franchise is 4th grade level reading man just give it a shot one more time. Or better yet, don't be a Harry Potter adult.

Well at least you dropped the stupid magical [word] argument so this is progress. I'm totally fine with this

Also usually the magical trope is in a world where NOT EVERYBODY IS MAGIC lol, that's a pretty important difference.

It's funny because the alternative he's suggesting for Kingsley to not be the magical [word] trope is to have him be some useless character with no importance or anything significant about him. Instead Rowling (not a defense of everything else) made him a very important character. The being "offended on behalf of black people" more often than not loops back around to the person doing that coming off as looking kinda racist themselves

Smashingpmkns posted...

Spiritual outsider, old and wise, noble and good, whole purpose is to help the white MC.

And how did he help the white MC other than existing in a war against evil wizards and not being evil himself

Yeah seriously get back to the goblin talk because this being offended on behalf of black people thing that is played out is not a good look

But he also fits the "magical [explicit]" trope

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/0/8/AANxQ0AADT_U.jpg

An authoritative black wizard in a universe of wizards and witches is not the magical [word] trope. Jesus Christ. That entire trope is about some oddly mystic black person who only serves to aid a white protagonist. This could maybe be a point if he showed up out of the blue and was oddly more powerful than everyone else but was relegated to the role of being a Harry, Ron, and Hermione babysitter

Not to derail the topic but it looks like the Shacklebolt issue is because he's a black dude and the name is "Shackle" "bolt", a slavery reference

This is the kind of shit that makes me super skeptical of randos on Twitter tldr'ing stuff because that is an extremely fucking dumb reach. I guarantee no black person (one here) who doesn't live on Twitter gives a shit about that name

People who are now done with Harry Potter: "Well yeah everything was always horrifically racist and bigoted from the start, but I didn't care until it was a game Rowling didn't even create because... something"

Yeah I'm kinda confused now

So if just by having goblins is anti-Semitic because of their origins, why is the shit just hitting the fan now. There was plenty of time for that back when fundies were losing their minds over the books being about witches and wizards 20+ years ago

People really in here bending over backwards trying to act like this isn't exactly what it is lol

And when did you realize it was exactly what it is and now acting like it was obvious. Was it the first tweet or the 20 following it to try to further explain. Did you even know what a shofar was before this topic

Moira Squier, lead producer James Cabrera, and director Alan Tew did not do their due dilligence to make sure Troy's views wouldn't make it into the game. Everyone on the decision making board of that dev team either did this on purpose, endorsed it, or just didn't care.

wat. Does this person expect people to dive into the Mariana Trench of anti-semitism to make sure there's zero trace of it from someone who was mainly criticized for being anti-SJW and downplaying sexual harassment. If somebody jumps through hoops and eventually uncovers antivax logic in game files do we retroactively blame people who weren't the reason it was included in the game too

MLB game last summer or fall. Kinda forgot. Before that it was an OKC-Hawks game in like 2011

Who the hell thought putting this in was a good idea? Jesus.

Probably because as you can see by posts in this topic, there's a lot of ifs and slight reaches to connect all of that (the response to the Elden Ring shitpost smh), and I'm pretty sure the developer's primary concern was making a game and copypasting from mainline HP books and supplementary sources instead of doing a grad school level dive

If the devs become aware of this they'll probably patch it out.

College football by a landslide but it's starting to become what I hate about the NFL, corporate bullshit. Which it always was but now it's all up in your face constantly.

I initially got into CFB after learning about how traditions vary like crazy at different schools and even different conferences. Now you have yearly rivalries being destroyed with conference realignments, players getting paid a crapton of money before they even play a down, etc. Now it's literally NFL Jr. with with shittier players. Already couldn't stand watching SEC football on CBS now every broadcast is that.

How I feel: Sucks to have a 12 year old die over a car and I won't begin to shed a tear for however many years that guy is sent to prison for, and the situation was entirely preventable with both parties carrying out very dumb decisions so really I don't have that much sympathy to give around other than to that kid's parents and family.

The end

COVxy posted...

Idk how you can't see that your posts only seem to be blaming the 12 yo child for their murder.

Probably looks that way because you're agitated from all of your other interactions in this topic but that's a personal problem

COVxy posted...

"This isn't just any ol property" is literally a sentence that only exists to justify the extreme actions of the owner. Why did you say that if that's not what you meant?

I mean exactly that. A car is not just typical property and some people will go to extreme lengths for it. Whether it's somebody stealing it in the first place or preventing a theft. It's really not that deep

COVxy posted...

What is the implication you are making other than "well this actually seems justified"?

Stop fucking around with other people's property that they put a lot of value in because not everybody is going to have the rational response to you doing that. Carjackers getting shot or thieves getting tracked down and shot is nothing remotely new.

Anything else

COVxy posted...

want you to state it explicitly. You are saying a car is such an important piece of property that murder is an appropriate response to its theft? Should our justice system put the death penalty in play for car theft cases?

These are dumb questions. Murder isn't an appropriate response to a lot of things, doesn't mean it's not going to happen when someone messes around with someone else's property. And trying to sit back like a robot playing the purely rational card doesn't do jack. The 12 y/o kid isn't a part of the justice system, neither is the guy who popped him thinking "Oh golly gee the death penalty is not a punishment for car theft almost forgot whoopsie doopsie". I said nothing about the guy who shot him not deserving whatever charges are coming his way. So no I don't think the death penalty should be in play for car theft, stop being dense.

To a far lesser degree, I'm pretty sure beating the shit out of somebody taking something out of your shopping cart you haven't even paid for yet isn't an appropriate response, but anybody with an ounce of common sense would know that getting a fist to the face is on the table if you were to pull that little maneuver during Black Friday or a food/supply shortage. But yeah let's go ahead and have somebody make a law against doing that too.

Sucks that a 12 year old died but a car is not just somebody's regular ol possession. Some people's livelihoods are literally tied to whether or not they have a car to get around in. I'm gonna assume this doesn't apply to the guy who was robbed since he tracked them down immediately, but hopefully this is a lesson to the other morons involved to stop fucking around with random people's cars

I'm personally not gonna call it GOTY material after 2 days, but my only gripes with the game are your starting inventory space which has been mentioned multiple times, and the kinda janky aerial controls which probably get better as you upgrade your broom. So far it's definitely been worth the full price purchase.

Yeah I don't see how that is a controversial reaction from a 16 year old finding something like that. That is one of the tamest angry messages you could get from a kid getting bullied by other teenagers over something his sister did. It's not like that's a text from one of her parents

Angry teenager being a representation of the rest of his family lol. I don't know why anybody on this board wants to pretend they were the most logical teenager devoid of emotion 24/7
