What's everyone doing this weekend?

Studying. Then one week of practice problems at work/academy, then final evaluations the following Monday and Tuesday.

I don't know about extremely clever, but it is pretty good. Is there something else I'm missing besides it being a depiction of the Eiffel Tower?

Hoping it can run for president by 2020.

Nothing strange about it. the Shuffle is the only iPod that remains useful in spite of the smartphone revolution. I think the Shuffle will only become redundant when smartphone battery lives become inexhaustible.

Been messing around with my old iPod Touch 4th Generation. It's amazing what a shock it is to go back to the old UI.

I looked up the specs for Oculus; they recommend 8GB RAM and an AMD R9 290. I have 16 GB RAM and two R9's in CrossFire ;) so I'm good for hardware (every single spec I have double or more). As for monitor, I was under the impression you didn't need one? The Oculus IS the monitor? I've heard it does add quite a bit to some games as they feel so realistic. I've been getting used to playing first person (I usually hate it) in anticipation for switching to Rift. Games I can see good with Rift; Skyrim, GTA, Watch Dogs, Any Horror Game, etc...

I tried the Oculus in a couple of events here in Tunisia and I didn't see myself using it regularly because I found it gimmicky. Watching the EVE: Valkyrie game trailer however changed my mind. youtube.com/watch?...

How much AI was it versus manmade algorithms? Did they train the computer to play? I haven't really read about it yet, but too often with these things the training was skipped and replaced by direct human input which means the AI is still "basic" compared to scifi-esque robot AI.

Go has an enormous search space (The maximum number of legal positions in chess is in the order of 10^47, that of Go is 10^127) so traditional man-made algorithms, as you put it, are ineffective. They used deep neural networks which were trained by learning from human expert games and games of self-play. Although we are still far away from scifi-esque robot AI, this milestone was thought to be a decade away. We never know.

In light of Google's AI beating the European champion in Go, what are your thoughts on Artificial Intelligence?

You mean Kerbal Space Program? I looked into that, but it feels a little gimmicky to me. If you are into engineering and space, I can totally see how you sink many hours into it though.

You are right. It appeals the most to people with those interests. Relevant xkcd: xkcd.com/1356
