Off Topic / Rioters Protest Darwinbots Blood Sports

« on: February 27, 2005, 12:58:58 PM »

Yankee is a derogatory term for an American. Although, on a scale of derogativity (anybody know if there is a proper adjective for that?) between e and pi, it sits at about one. Hmm. Anybody know any better race-specific terms for the baseball fanatics on the wrong side of the Atlantic? I need a ethnicality to hate irrationally and I think the French have been doen to death.

I suppose I could use gaijin. But that's a bit more broadbrush. Num, yeh're a feckin' gaijin, says yeh are. Hmm.

Other than the politics (which were made up BTW.  No such representative from Idaho) what's yankeecentric about it?

It all stems from my deep-rooted sexual repression ¬_¬.

If not a bit high resolution.  It takes forever to load on my computer.

That's your crappy connection, mate. What speed are you at?

And you should feel yourself lucky- the original was 1024 by 750

EDIT: Have you worked out what I changed, yet?

It's just you, PY.  I use Firefox and I see it just fine.

And MightyPenguin, for the love of all that is sacred, get rid of that second picture!  x_x;

Fucking Numsgil. He's gone too far this time.

Well it works for me. It's one of the most reliable file servers on the net. Mostly because noone knows about it, but still. Maybe it's because you're all the way over in Yank land?  :huh:

I'll e-mail it to you.

I posted it in my post. Apparently I can't attach it to the post.

Which bit would you call basic? What bits of the program are "core"?

:/ Difficult question.

Assuming you have the computer generate a new number every second, it should take 4.5382061861071679164704351389191e+37 years for the function to repeat itself. Note that the universe is only 1.37e+9 years old. Why on earth do you feel the need to make it more random?  :huh:

Oh well, each to their own, I suppose...

Numsgil, how many instructions would a P4 have to perform when you call the random function?

Actually, we have somewhere between nine and twenty-one senses. Including proprioception, which has to be one of the coolest things I have ever read. Better even than logorrhoea.

I think the limited number of senses in darwinbots comes from the simplisticness of the enviroment. A sense is something that processes information from your surroundings, right? The more complex the enviroment, the more forms information can be transmitted in.

I'm not sure I'm happy adding arbitary senses like this. I'd rather model a deeper enviroment and give bots a way to tune into what's going on in that enviroment.
