Don't discount the creativity, intelligence, and dedication it takes to create something like this. Chances are you actually can't , even if you did make it a priority.

The odds for a face on a d10 would be 1 in 9 (1:9). It's different than probability (1/10 = .1)

The advice was not wrong. You probably would not have been a great sitter, and it's best to recognize that. Your comment comes off in the wrong way for a thread about muyshrooms.

The downside of patches is the slow release. Smoking is instantaneous.

There really is something nauseating or repulsive about this. I've had the same feeling with other ML generated images. It's alien and familiar at the same time.

A friend had an explanation for this, and I really agreed with him. The antianxiety effects of THC arrive after the initial high. The beginning is a spike of feelings that a lot of people find to be intense... and leads to paranoia and an i

So envious you are friends with such a stellar musician. I've been blown away by "In the Moment". It's 21st century jazz and a huge inspiration.

I use Netbeans for C/C++ development (shocking, I know). Originally I was using it as an Eclipse alternative at a Java gig. After moving into embedded dev I just decided to try and stick with it and see how it goes. It worked. Benefits

I've always been fascinated by dynamical systems, attractors, the "edge of chaos". I was surprised and delighted to find these topics towards the end of a neural nets textbook. That led to a google rabbit hole and a late nigh

Thanks, those obvious points really needed references. And come on... SF is the last place a Midwestern neocon would consider!

Great article. My favorite part was learning a new word: grognard! Makes me sad that I only got into the series at Civ5, which I enjoyed every bit of except for the ultra creepy 3D models of the leaders.... totally unnecessary in this kind

Well it goes a bit deeper than socializing. I said separated from all, but that's including "grace", which if I remember correctly is a connection to god that is available to humans during life.

This is a heavy claim that you've made here... Can we get some more details? Like Sherlock-style high functioning sociopaths, or Patrick Bateman with top notch computer skills?

If you enjoy SimCity then definitely check out skylines. It's maybe not as realistic in some ways, and I think it's too easy, but there are lots of mods available so the possibilities really open up.
