Intelligent Design - Where is AI going? (Videogames Talk)
posted by gwiz665 3 weeks 5 days ago • 384 views
Artificial Intelligence has nothing to do with evolution and everything to do with intelligent design.

I'm an aspiring video game programmer and I stumbled upon the following blog series, where a bunch of real game programmers discuss what games are doing with AI right now. It's an interesting read, so I thought you would enjoy it.

These three muppets are actual representations of Jim Henson, Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson. There weren't many Muppets that were supposed to look like humans!

Things you should know, because you where pulled over for speeding does not mean that they have the right to search your car. However if you are felony speeding, they can arrest you, but they still... more inside

Start YouTube Video At Specific Time (Engineering Talk)
posted by doogle 1 month 1 week ago • 389 views
Google Blogoscoped blog has a tip on starting videos at a specific time.

I thought it would be useful for some videos, such as the popular "5th grade reporter asks Joe Biden "What a does a VP do?" where the pertinent point of the video is 3m45s (or 225 seconds) in to the video.

Essentially you add:
&start=225
to two parts of the embed code of the video after:
&fs=1

I've posted an example of it working here, where I start the video 15 seconds in:
http://engineering.videosift.com/video/Tim-McGraw-ejects-unruly-fan-continues-song

I know it's a bit technical, but I've come across some videos that would greatly benefit from this tweak. Perhaps those who are familiar with embed tweaking can give this tip in some comments to the videos.

Just a thought.

Three guys take the piss out of modern cooking shows. They show how to do fancy molecular gastronomy techniques using ghetto gear and science. I've been waiting for this show for weeks now. Definitely influenced by the Zero Punctuation reviews.

A hard-hitting 47-minute documentary on what money is, how it came into existence, and how it works in the world today. Definitely not boring!

This video will make you doubt your eyes. Ricky Jay is supposedly the Master of cards. I have no doubt that he completely controls where each individual card is at all times, through repeated shuffles, cuts and what have you. How in the heck...?
