Have you seen the adult version? It's called NetLOGO and comes in both 2D and 3D forms. It is used for multi-agent modeling, which makes it ideal for things like the flocking algorithm that has multiple points all doing their own thing

I agree to some degree, but we sorta-kinda already have that. Canadians can go to CBC or any other Canadian news source for that information. A certain large demographic have learned to rely on social media for discourse, as they not only g

I suppose the sites (except for CBC) could paywall. That would be the only recourse. And would actually solve the issue at hand in a lot cleaner and familiar way. The law change has both its support and detractors here, so wholesale downvot

Amazing what greed can do. They want to make money from the news, yet they don't want to pay the news sources for letting them feed off of it. If a Canadian outfit wanted to host news and other media from the US, you know it wouldn&#

They said traditional collectors had started looking at collecting NFT's as collectable art. It was known at the time this was the first time they came up for auction, so the idea that collectors were already collecting them is a liber

Never? Los Angeles is wishing that would be true this weekend. "Never" is quite a binary word. But look at this map and see how very rare it is! https://2010-2014.commerce.gov/blog/2012/08/13/no

I'm curious where you got the idea there was deceit on the auction house's part. Especially of the 'notable' sort. https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/ape-in/101-bore...

I'm such a small-time investor, a total amateur, and when NFT's became a thing, I was gobsmacked that anyone would think that this, unlike every other fad of its ilk, wouldn't just fade away into obscurity in a year or three,

There is some irony to being caught off guard by someone suggesting it was stapled instead of taped. Is it an important aspect of the piece? Important enough to correct someone over. There are other places to draw parallels from. Runway fas

They still have theory. I have an amazing book on playing Rajas. But if I played them right now, it would sound more like messed up blues because I haven't learned that aspect of how to play Raja music correctly, and only by coincidenc

There are different types of understanding, and self taught musicianship is not excluded from this. In fact, they involve exactly the same type of effort as learning theory in the standard fashion. They rarely even deviate from it. The old

I hear that a lot. And I always ask the same thing in return: Show me a riff, within the context of a song, that you came up with entirely on your own, and demonstrates the benefits you have obtained by not being held back by learning music

Ottawa doesn't even do ghost towns right. I had a book on Ontario ghost towns, so while working a gig in Ottawa, I went to one of them. It wasn't so much a ghost town as it was a bend in the road with a forest and a field, and no

Yes, because of the nature of how it works, the result is somewhat unpredictable. Others replied to your message about how they got it to work. Another way is if it prints out your 100 words without a problem, have it do a slight change, li

That's an interesting theory, and very well might be why it breaks when you try to get it to repeat things. It gets wonky almost any time you ask it the same question, or ask it for "another" without providing fresh prompting
