The NHL was a provincial, parochial six-team affair in 1955, featuring barely over 100 players. Many of them hated each other with the type of passion only love can understand, as paleontologist Steven Jay Gould once observed of 1950s New York baseball.
This is super strong. The hate that they have for one another from a game.
The melee, which forced the game to be suspended, ushered in arevolution.
This is very interesting how sports and real life combined like this.

In the early 1980s, a number of things changed which ended up with programming seen as a male profession, and a highly profitable and respected one. One of the changes was that some men in the computer business figured out how to make money selling software. This was particularly the case for Bill Gates who convinced companies like IBM to license his software, so he could continue making money as more people used it. Another change was that as computers became small enough for people to buy them for their homes, they became seen as toys for boys and not girls. The same transition is seen in video game consoles from being for the whole family to being for boys only (e.g., the Nintendo Game Boy). In the end, computer programming became profitable and male-dominated. As many are trying to get women into programming, so that they aren’t cut out of profitable and important fields, Amy Nguyen warns that men might just decide that programming is low status again (as has happened before in many fields): The history of women in the workplace always tells the same story: women enter a male-dominated profession, only to find that it’s no longer a respectable field. Because they’re a part of it, so men leave in droves. Because women do it, and therefore it must not be important. Because society would rather discredit an entire profession than acknowledge that a female-dominated field might be doing something that actually matters.
It has became a close loop that the industry will be man lead forever, even though Microsoft claimed that they will hire more women software engineer... But it is still understandable at 1980s that the society is still man-dominated.
"It's a divine inspiration," Bauer said of the idea behind the theology course that begins in January 2009.
You can call anything a divine inspiration if you want to. Doesn't mean it's a religion or even close to a religion. But, for those who are not religious, maybe going to a hockey game is easier than going to a church.
Richard knew his temper meant trouble but felt defenseless against it. “When I’m hit, I get mad and I don’t know what I do,” he confided in one writer. “Before each game, I think about my temper and how I should control it, but as soon as I get on the ice I forget all that.”
Seems like being ordered to anger management would have been a good idea for Richard well before it got to the point it did.
Le Rocket accelerated quickly on his skates and the left-handed right wing had a backhand as sharp as his forehand, but at times, it seemed he could determine the fate of a game simply by his will.
It is not very often any sport is lucky enough to find a player of this magnitude.
You’ve never seen a hockey player like Maurice Richard. Not Crosby. Not Gretzky. Not Orr, Beliveau, Howe. None of them had the talent, the intensity, the will to take over a game like Richard. And none of them meant to their fans what le Rocket meant to Canadien fans.
This telling of how much the Canadian fans loved Richard, sheds light into the reasons behind the riot as well.
Once the officials finally subdue Richard and Laycoe, the referee, Frank Udvari, sends Laycoe to the penalty box with a five-minute major for drawing blood. When Laycoe throws a bloody towel at him, he adds 10 minutes.
Seems like a ridiculous punishment for what he did. He should have been ejected from the game altogether. 5 minutes for cutting someone and gashing them open? Insane.

he game was going to better your family, better your life, better your children's lives," said former defensive tackle Warren Sapp, recently elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The amount of money NFL players receive is life changing. Even the league minimum average is around $600,000.
The Post conducted extensive interviews with more than three dozen retired NFL players, and most said they accepted a certain amount of pain as the fair exchange for football's compensations.
NFL players are paid very well. The only downside is the toll the game takes on your body. Some people will put their body on the line for millions of dollars.
The Post's online survey of more than 500 retired players paints a rare portrait of the toll a career in the NFL has on the long-term health of those who competed in the bruising game. The results also present a striking paradox: Nine in 10 said they're happy they played the sport. But fewer than half would recommend children play it today.
The old NFL was defiantly a lot more physically then in recent years, but the NFL is a full body contact sport. You get paid millions of dollars, but you put your own body on the line for that money.
They remember the hard hits - most of them, at least. The brain-rattlers that left them blank-eyed and disoriented, they have no recollection of at all. But the ones that snapped ligaments, rendered bones the consistency of crushed ice or bent joints in ways they ought not to bend are still felt every morning years later.
Injuries happen in every game to almost every player. Many injuries arent announced in the media. Players have to deal with these injuries for the rest of their life, espiecally injuries like concussions and broken bones.
He “feigned” an injury in the game, a pulled calf muscle. Not season-ending, but enough to get a four-week payday on an injury settlement. I remember sitting by him in the training room saying, “I put my time in, now gotta get that retirement.” He smiled all the way out of the complex on his way to the airport.
This is the sad truth that we dont see a lot of the time. We see this a lot in the work industry with people trying to get workers comp and unemployment this is almost the same thing.
One of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, Peyton Manning, missed all of last season due to his neck injury. Manning is a four-time NFL MVP, a Super Bowl champion and the greatest Indianapolis Colt of all time.
Peyton Manning is one of the best NFL QB'S to play the game. He won many awards, but with one injury it made the coaches and managers of the team look at him differently. They ended up releasing him and Manning went on to another team and would bring a super bowl to the team he joined.
That does not mean they are jerks or not good guys, but the NFL is a “What have you done for me lately?” business, and if you are not helping to win the game, then stay out of the way.
Unfortunately the NFL is a business first. Yes they care about players but they wont mind cutting someone if they dont help them generate money.
does your scholarship suggest why so many societies do that rather than 00:20:09 saying maybe we start with a Declaration of Human Rights today maybe we write a new one from scratch based on what we know today um because it's very difficult to reach an agreement between a lot of 00:20:21 people and also you know you need to base a a a a real Society is something something extremely complex which you need to base on empirical experience 00:20:34 every time that people try to create a completely new social order just by inventing some Theory it ends very badly you need on yes you do need the ability 00:20:46 to change things a long time but not too quickly and not everything at once so most of the time you have these founding principles and shr find in this 00:20:58 or that text also orally it doesn't have to be written down and at least good societies also have mechanisms to change it but you have to start from some kind 00:21:12 of of of of social consensus and some kind of of social experience if every year we try to invent everything from scratch then Society will just collapse

In the few cases in which someone else witnessed their suffering, I assume that then too questions will arise as to exactly what he saw and whether he is a reliable witness. I don’t intend to participate in that game
That's how judging whether someone committed a crime works. It's not a game, it's just basic fairness to the accused. Do you not believe in fair trials (or objective evaluation of evidence by the public)? #BelieveWomen doesn't mean accept any allegations, particularly not allegations by anonymous third parties, without question.

The average time missed was 3.2 games. 9 players were placed on injured reserve and 8 required surgery
Each game can cost players up to hundreds of thousands of dollars compared to the little money they are given while on the injured reserve. Also if surgery is required it may take longer to come back and teams may not look at you the same as a player.
The increase in artificial turf in the 1970’s was thought to have contributed to increased incidence of this injury in players of the National Football League (NFL)
Turf toe is common and isn't the most insane injury possible on the football field, but it still does hinder a player during the game.
Players who met the criteria for inclusion in the concussion group had (1) a documented concussion based on the NFL’s public weekly injury report and (2) at least 1 missed game with the designation of DNP (“did not participate”) or inactive status. A total of 307 NFL players met these criteria and were included in the concussion pool.
The needed criteria to be included in the study they are conducting.
Practice squad players who had never played an NFL game were excluded.
Practice squad players who get concussions almost always get released.
The NFL has responded swiftly and impressively to the consequences of concussion, with several rule changes: (1) creating a policy preventing same-game return to play for any player diagnosed with a concussion1,19; (2) implementing sideline concussion assessment protocols and developing a standardized evidence-based testing algorithm11,13,16; (3) penalizing players for making contact with the crown of the helmet and moving the kickoff line from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line to reduce injuries2,15,17; (4) administering additional sideline evaluation protocols, including preseason education, baseline testing, and concussion evaluations performed by neurologists3,6,10; and (5) penalizing teams that do not follow established concussion protocol.
New rules implemented to make players with concussions stay away from football until they are recovered 100%.
Analysis of the probability of remaining in the league demonstrated a statistically significantly shorter career length for the concussion group at 3 and 5 years after concussion.
Concussions can drastically change how a player plays the game. Most of the time what happens is the player doesn't want to get another concussion so they play safer, but thats not what teams want.
SRC history is non-modifiable in former athletes
Sports Related Concussions risk factors cant be changed. What this means is in football you cant change the risk of getting a concussion due to the fact the whole game is based on body on body contact with high chances of getting hit in the head.
how AI image generators work one of the most popular and Powerful models are called generative adversarial networks organ for short they have two parts the 00:02:35 generator which acts like a forger that makes fake images and tries to pass them off as real and the discriminator which acts like a detective trying to figure out if the generator's images are real or fake the discriminator has been 00:02:47 trained on data sets of lots of real images so it has an idea of what to look out for when it identifies a fake image it tells the generator where it went wrong the generator then tries again to fill the discriminator they both play 00:02:59 this game over and over and over again trying to compete against each other until eventually the generator gets really good at fooling the discriminator a feature common amongst all AI image generators is that the quality of the 00:03:12 outputs will depend on the quality of the data sets the millions of labeled images that the AI has been trained on if there are biases in the data set the AI will acquire and replicate those biases but there is no such thing as a 00:03:25 neutral data
This is how image generators work. I find it fascinating however this is also where the problems come from (bias data sets).

after reading this, a fight of this magnitude could have happened on any given night.
Richard averaged a goal a game, playing in all 50 games, and the legend took root.
so was he not suspended at all?
Since then, larger thinkers on the Quebec scene have argued whether this was the beginning of Quebec's Quiet Revolution
Its crazy that a hockey game is thought to start a quiet revolution.
The ‘size’ of facts served a dream of information recombination, and was served bythe card form. Other advocates of Zettelkasten like Johann Jacob Moser (1701–1785)remarked that fairly small facts meant the mass of information was broken down to itsindividual components and thus could be constantly reshuffled in a ‘game of cards’(Krajewski, 2011: 53-5).
suggestion of recombination of individual notes using cards to create something new
(have I remarked on this in krajewski?) ᔥ Johann Jacob Moser commented on the ability to breakdown bodies of information into smaller pieces that might be reshuffled into new configurations as one might in a 'game of cards'.

demonstrates the extent of the influence this had outside of the athletics world. It's absurd that a sport could bring about such a profound shift in individuals.
I am claiming that to transcend ethics is to make a transition from a state in which we frequently reflect on, and carefully try to follow, moral rules, to one in which we do not consciously think about the rules at all but obey them in a considerably more adroit way. Such a transition is not as mysterious and unusual as it sounds. Francisco Varela has pointed out that the same kind of transition happens to practitioners of perfectly ordinary skills, such as the game of chess. Beginners at chess need to think frequently about the rules, reminding themselves, for example, of which moves are legal for a particular piece. But chess masters don’t explicitly think about the rules. Due to their long training, they see patterns in the positions of pieces, and intuitively recognize dangers and opportunities. Of course, these masters are still perfectly capable of formulating the rules of chess. When they teach the game to beginners, or explain the rationale behind their moves to those who are not at their level of skill, they will explicitly allude to rules. But their expertise is such that their decision-making processes don’t any longer involve explicit consideration of the rules of chess. Varela makes an analogy to ethics: he argues that spiritual masters are relevantly similar to chess masters, in that they act skillfully for the benefit of all beings, without ever explicitly thinking about ethical rules.
how does this connect to god's bigger picture of existance
During the 1970s the game was changing. No longer were the cable system owners little ‘Ma’n’Pa’ enterprises, outgrowths of rural electrical appliance stores. For the whole of the previous decade cable firms had been consolidating themselves into MSOs (Multiple system operators).
I find this interesting because my grandfather owned multiple record stores for most of his working adult life. He finally closed his businesses down in the 1990's when more and more chain stores opened and he lost all his customers to places like Walmart and Target. He also sold electrical appliances at his stores, so this statement highlighted is very true and has personal meaning to me and my family.

Well, individuals can block or mute harassers, but the harassers may be a large group, or they might make new accounts.
There should be some automation to stop harassment I think. If the user enters some type of text containing ___, the comment is immediately removed. This kind of proactive moderation could be a game changer in reducing the prevalence of online harassment. While freedom of speech is important, there needs to be a balance where the online environment is safe and inclusive for everyone.

Is it really plausible that this slim volume, with itsonce-urgent premonitions about the nuanced and deep-seatedperils of television, could feel timely today, the Age of Comput-ers? Is it really plausible that this book about how TV is turn-ing all public life (education, religion, politics, journalism) intoentertainment; how the image is undermining other forms ofcommunication, particularly the written word; and how ourbottomless appetite for TV will make content so abundantlyavailable, context be damned, that we'll be overwhelmed by"information glut" until what is truly meaningful is lost andwe no longer care what we've lost as long as we're beingamused. . . . Can such a book possibly have relevance to youand The World of 2006 and beyond?vii
The first page questions the relevance of reading a social commentary book from 20 years ago in todays technological age.
Reviewer #1 (Public Review):
Summary:<br /> The authors conducted two tasks at 300 days of separation. First, a social perception task, where Ps responded whether a pictured person either deserved or needed help. Second, an altruism task, where Ps are offered monetary allocations for themselves and a partner. Ps decide whether to accept, or a default allocation of 20 dollars each. The partners differed in perceived merit, such that they were highly deserving, undeserving, or unknown. This categorisation was decided on the basis of a prisoner's dilemma game the partner played beforehand. "Need" was also manipulated, by altering the probability that the partner must have their hand in cold water at the end of the experiment and this partner can use the money to buy themselves out. These two tasks were conducted to assess the perception of need/merit in the first instance, and how this relates to social behaviour in the second. fMRI data were collected alongside behavioural.
The authors present many analyses of behaviour (including DDM results) and fMRI. E.g., they demonstrate that they could decode across the mentalising network whether someone was making a need or deserving judgement vs control judgement but couldn't decode need vs deserving. And that brain responses during merit inferences (merit - control) systematically covaried with participants' merit sensitivity scores in the rTPJ. They also found relationships between behaviour and rTPJ in the altruism task. And that merit sensitivity in the perception task predicted the influence of merit on social behaviour in the altruism task.
Strengths:<br /> This manuscript represents a sensible model to predict social perceptions and behaviours, and a tidy study design with interesting findings. The introduction introduced the field especially brilliantly for a general audience.
Weaknesses:<br /> 1. The authors do acknowledge right at the end that these are small samples. This is especially the case for the correlational questions. While the limitation is acknowledged at the end, it is not truly acknowledged in the way that the data are interpreted. I.e. much is concluded from absent relationships, where the likelihood of Type II error is high in this scenario. I suggest that throughout the manuscript, authors play down their conclusions about absence of effects.
2. I found the results section quite a marathon, and due to its length I started to lose the thread concerning the overarching aims - which had been established so neatly in the introduction. I am unsure whether all of these analyses were necessary for addressing the key questions or whether some were more exploratory. E.g. it's unclear to me what one would have predicted upfront about the decoding analyses.
3. More specifically, the decoding analyses were intriguing to me. If I understand the authors, they are decoding need vs merit, and need+merit vs control, not the content of these inferences. Do they consider that there is a distributed representation of merit that does not relate to its content but is an abstracted version that applies to all merit judgements? I certainly would not have predicted this and think the analyses raise many questions.
Over the past four decades, large corporations have learned to play the Washington game. Companies now devote massive resources to politics, and their large-scale involvement increasingly redirects and constricts the capacities of the political system. The consequence is a democracy that is increasingly unable to tackle large-scale problems, and a political economy that too often rewards lobbying over innovation.
we see this with intuit turbo tax and big telecom companies.

Fog of war terrain system. With the randomised terrain set up, every game is different and forces you to make choices as you uncover your predefined play area and it encourages you to explore every inch of it.
This is a fully tactile experience. No decks of cards to shuffle, no score tracks, no fiddly cubes, no confusing rules or nuances. Just a fluid set up, play and pack down experience with beautiful components.
Fold-It is a game that lets players attempt to fold proteins. At the time, researchers were having trouble getting computers to do this task for complex proteins, so they made a game for humans to try it. Researchers analyzed the best players’ results for their research and were able to publish scientific discoveries based on the contributions of players.
In order to solve the complexity that computers find difficult to handle in protein folding simulations, players in the University of Washington's Foldit online game use their spatial reasoning abilities to fold proteins. Science has benefited from this novel technique, as players have occasionally outperformed algorithms. The cooperative endeavor between researchers and gamers serves as an example of how crowdsourcing may be used to solve complex scientific issues.

This reminds me of a fascinating incident from before, where a Chinese girl, in order to win a game, wrote a fake century-long history on an online encyclopedia. It was for a game where characters' abilities were determined by historical events, and it took many years before her fabrication was discovered
Fold-It is a game that lets players attempt to fold proteins. At the time, researchers were having trouble getting computers to do this task for complex proteins, so they made a game for humans to try it. Researchers analyzed the best players’ results for their research and were able to publish scientific discoveries based on the contributions of players.
I've never even heard of such a concept of scientists making games for their own research but simultaneously being a hobby for other people. Its really interesting how other opinions of people on the same concept can provide faster and more open solutions.

That is actually really interesting. I could have never imagined that scientific discoveries would stem from something as silly a crowdsourcing. Fold-It truly is a phenomenon that must be studies further.
16.2.1. Crowdsourcing Platforms# Some online platforms are specifically created for crowdsourcing. For example: Wikipedia: Is an online encyclopedia whose content is crowdsourced. Anyone can contribute, just go to an unlocked Wikipedia page and press the edit button. Institutions don’t get special permissions (e.g., it was a scandal when US congressional staff edited Wikipedia pages), and the expectation that editors do not have outside institutional support is intended to encourage more people to contribute. Quora: An crowdsourced question and answer site. Stack Overflow: A crowdsourced question-and-answer site specifically for programming questions. Amazon Mechanical Turk: A site where you can pay for crowdsourcing small tasks (e.g., pay a small amount for each task, and then let a crowd of people choose to do the tasks and get paid). Upwork: A site that lets people find and contract work with freelancers (generally larger and more specialized tasks than Amazon Mechanical Turk. Project Sidewalk: Crowdsourcing sidewalk information for mobility needs (e.g., wheelchair users). 16.2.2. Example Crowdsourcing Tasks# You probably already have some ideas of how crowds can work together on things like editing articles on a site like Wikipedia or answer questions on a site like Quora, but let’s look at some other examples of how crowds can work together. Fold-It is a game that lets players attempt to fold proteins. At the time, researchers were having trouble getting computers to do this task for complex proteins, so they made a game for humans to try it. Researchers analyzed the best players’ results for their research and were able to publish scientific discoveries based on the contributions of players.
That's amazing what technology combined with humans in crowds can create. I've only thought of crowdsourcing in terms of crowdfunding since I feel like I see it everywhere. But this is such a smart way to solve issues or answer scientific questions, since it attains the knowledge of humans from all over the world. In addition, this way people can add on to each other's ideas. I think you do need the right conditions in order for this to be successful, since sometimes when you have too many people, people tend to disagree and it creates a complex situation.

As a consumer of both the video game and the series, this review delves into the merits and shortcomings of this recent work of art, assessing it within the context of the artist's previous works, the genre of video game adaptations, and the cultural expectations surrounding this monumental project. The journey into this apocalyptic landscape is one of hope, despair, and profound humanity.

There is a lot of money in this game, for it is in many cases financed by municipalities, monarchs, and oligarchs who have discovered in the cultural field a new, advanced form of social capital.
This reminds me of an exhibition I saw in 2000 in The Guggenheim in Bilbao Spain called “The Art of the Motorcycle”. It was sponsored by BMW. The exhibition started in the Guggenheim NY and was toured to Bilbao and Las Vegas because it was very successful. Where the first show in NY is said to have increased attendance by “45% daily” and “attracted the largest crowds ever at that museum, and received mixed but positive reviews in the art world, with the exception of some art and social critics who rejected outright the existence of such a show at an institution like the Guggenheim, condemning it for excessive populism, and for being compromised by the financial influence of its sponsors.” (Wikipedia) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_the_Motorcycle#:~:text=The%20exhibition%20attracted%20the%20largest,excessive%20populism%2C%20and%20for%20being
While Duchamp’s readymade granted enormous sovereignty to artists, it also endowed curators with an awesome power to decide which artworks could become comprehensible as art by being exhibited; in this way, the production of art was subordinated to the realm of exhibition-making and curation. And yet, over the past decade or so we find a similar process underway in the contextual framing of our experience of life itself—now formed by curatorial decision-making processes that arbitrate between a mass of goods and experiences based on their aesthetic effects. When artists confronted the advent of mechanical reproduction, their response brought about the invention of an entirely new kind of art—abstract art. Today, when artists seeking the freedom to work as they please do so by employing curatorial methodologies in their work, and when curators themselves seem to be the proven beneficiaries of Duchamp’s contextual break, should it not be the task of the curator to pose these questions concerning sovereignty and contextual freedom? If we accept that the artist’s compromised position within the exhibition and within the strategic deployment of global contemporary art is primarily a contextual problem of political containment, whereby artworks are reduced to scraps of content, then perhaps the curator is in a position to slice through this knot.
CONNECTION
I read an article in The New Yorker on Duchamp and his time in New York. There was a paragraph where he breaks down the readymades
"Duchamp’s own statements about the readymades cut right through the fog banks of commentary by others. Readymades were his antidote to retinal art, because “it was always the idea that came first, not the visual example.” The readymades posed the question “What is art?” and suggested, quite disturbingly, that it could be anything at all; a readymade, in fact, was “a form of denying the possibility of defining art.” Duchamp made a note to himself to “limit the no. of readymades yearly,” and he followed his own instructions, producing no more than twenty in his lifetime; only by limiting the output, he felt, could he avoid falling into the trap of his own taste, and taste—good or bad—was “the greatest enemy of art.” Duchamp knew perfectly well that there was a contradiction here. Just by selecting one object rather than another, he was exercising taste, no matter how hard he tried to avoid it, and each of the readymades can be said to reflect Duchamp in its ironic, humorous, quietly diabolic ambiguity. “My intention was always to get away from myself, though I knew perfectly well that I was using myself,” he said. “Call it a little game between T and ‘me."
This paragraph asking these questions of curators could easily be answered by Duchamp's explanation of his works. We select pieces that speak to our taste but we do have the responsibility of guiding narrative and if we borrow from Duchamps ease and pace it is the idea that comes first. Therefore artworks are not scraps of content but, rather context.

In what ways do you think you’ve participated in any crowdsourcing online?
For instance, I have personally helped edit Wikipedia myself, answer homework-related questions on pertinent websites for other users, as well as crowdfunding for the game Star Citizens.
In-game tutorials explicitly scaffold the designed pathway for players inLakeland, nudging playerstowards self-sustaining strategies. However, the game grants achievements to players in fourcategories, which may engage different types of players. For example, some players may focus ongaining achievements for a large population, many farms, or money earned. On the other hand,some players may follow a path of destruction, progressing primarily along the algae bloom track.This tension between the designed (and instructed) pathway and the varied achievements leads toopportunities for divergent play. In this case study, the objective is to use our method to evaluate thegame’s existing design, by examining the players’ decisions and progress, and how they interact withgame feedback.
these are things i noticed while playing the game
The ability for an educational game designerto understand their audience’s play styles andresulting experience is an essential tool for improving their game’s design. As a game is subjected tolarge-scale player testing, the designers require inexpensive, automated methods for categorizingpatterns of player-game interactions.
So this paper isn't as interested about the educational process instead more about the player interactions and categorization
However, the Spartans still don’t look anywhere close to being the nation’s fourth-best team. At least not two games into the season.
This is also an opinion, thinking that Michigan State basketball is not looking good two games in.
It went a bit smoother the second time around for Michigan State basketball.
This is an opinion. People could think the game did not go sooner this time around.
stomps
Michigan State basketball did not actually stomp anyone, it is just another way to show that there was a big defeat.
Toledo (9-1, 6-0) has won nine straight games
Fact- can be backed by evidence. All of the following stats after are facts as well since they are all stats and things that happened.
blasts away
Using the term blasts away is the metaphor here. It is suggesting that Toledo dominated the game. The metaphor "blasts away" draws on the physical experience of an explosion or forceful impact, suggesting a vivid, embodied, understanding of the victory as a powerful and impactful event.
Bayern stretched its winning streak in the group stage to 17 games — a competition record — while its 38-game unbeaten run in the group stage is also a record.

Chris revealed on his Wikipedia page that Sonichu is a product of a computer graphics class. In March 2000, Chris had to create a CD album cover for an assignment. Despite being a ridiculously simple project, with infinite possibilities for a possible CD cover, Chris still struggled with the assignment, because he could not use copyrighted characters. It seemed as if Chris's usual technique of "cover everything with shitty video game characters" wouldn't work this time... But then, inspiration struck: “ Then it dawned on me at that moment after lunch, much like the random creation of Bionic the Hedgehog during Basketball Practice in my Freshman Year, Sonichu just bursted right into my imagination. A blur at first, but then it all became more clear and came together very well. So, as swiftly as the creation of Bionic, I drew Sonichu on paper from imagination, then I drew him on my currently open Photoshop program. After checking with Miss. Chalifoux and my father, who is BIG on copyrights and whatnot; SONICHU WAS LEGAL THEN, and STILL IS and ONLY MINE! So, soon after, the CD-Cover was made, printed and Passed with an A+ Grade. :D ” Chris on the origin of Sonichu, and why the public school system has failed us[9] Thus, an Internet legend, Sonichu, was born.
Chris revelou em sua página da Wikipedia que Sonichu é produto de uma aula de computação gráfica. Em março de 2000, Chris teve que criar a capa de um álbum em CD como tarefa. Apesar de ser um projeto ridiculamente simples, com possibilidades infinitas para uma capa de CD, Chris ainda enfrentou dificuldades, pois não podia usar personagens protegidos por direitos autorais. Parecia que a técnica usual de Chris de "cobrir tudo com personagens ruins de videogame" não funcionaria dessa vez… Mas então, a inspiração surgiu:
“Então, isso me ocorreu naquele momento após o almoço, assim como a criação aleatória de Bionic the Hedgehog durante o treino de basquete no meu primeiro ano, Sonichu simplesmente explodiu na minha imaginação. Um borrão a princípio, mas depois tudo ficou mais claro e se juntou muito bem. Então, tão rapidamente quanto a criação de Bionic, eu desenhei Sonichu no papel a partir da imaginação, depois o desenhei no meu programa de computação gráfica aberto naquele momento. Depois de verificar com a Srta. Chalifoux e meu pai, que é muito rigoroso com direitos autorais e coisas do tipo; SONICHU ERA LEGAL NAQUELE MOMENTO, e AINDA É e SOMENTE MEU! Então, logo depois, a capa do CD foi feita, impressa e passou com uma nota A+. :D”
Chris sobre a origem de Sonichu, e por que o sistema escolar público nos decepcionou Assim, uma lenda da internet, Sonichu, nasceu.
Husserl was affected by the application of the epoche in ways that may seem odd when one contemplates the epoche in the usual way, as only an intellectual game. Towards the end of his life, Husserl described the epoche as a `complete personal transformation, comparable in the beginning to a religious conversion' [The Crisis of European Sciences, 1970, Northwestern Univ. Pr., p. 137].

I see Bron shooting four free throws," Ham said after the game, "and the amount of times he attacked the rim, the amount of times he was slapped on the arm, which I could see plain as day, for that not to be called, man ... he's not flopping. I'm watching him go to the hole strong."
Technically it isn't a foul till it is called. I could say the same thing about my favorite player not getting calls but it is a part of the game. This is clearly a strong opinion given Lebron's value to the sport and nothing bad can ever happen to him or he complains.
What they're telling me is not consistent with what's actually happening on the floor," James said. "When I went for the dunk attempt against Thomas Bryant, he clearly elbowed -- like, arm straight across my face. And I asked him for the explanation -- well, one of the refs said that he was straight up, hands straight in the air. Two of the refs said they were blocked and they didn't see it."
This is Lebron James' opinion and if you look back you will be able to confirm if he was fouled or not. It is his opinion though to say that they are telling him differently than what is going on in the game. Maybe the two refs did not see the foul because the game is fast and physical so every call can't be seen perfectly.
Lakers coach Darvin Ham was assessed his first technical foul of the season -- and just the third of his career -- with 39 seconds remaining in the third quarter for arguing the non-call against James.
This is a fact, as you can check on the stats of the game, the coach was given a technical and you can check on his career technicals and see that it is 3.
The Lakers' main point of contention is how LeBron James was officiated, according to sources.
This is a fact but also shows the opinion of the Lakers in the same sentence. The Lakers are concerned but every NBA team experiences missed calls and that is a part of the game.
Journalists and fact checkers struggle less with deepfakes than they do with out-of-context images or those crudely manipulated into something they’re not, like video game footage presented as a Hamas attack.
This is incredibly interesting. It's almost like it is less work to simply find a random video and associate it with the conflict vs the deepfakes. I think this makes sense and should be highly considered though, in regards to the video that caused everyone to inquire if the bombing at the Palestinian hospital was from Israel or if it was merely a malfunctioned rocket from Palestine

You know the children in your roomwho need to show you, those who need to tell you, andthose who need to write it out. There are times whenone of each in a group should work together so they canlearn from each other.
I have found this to be very true. There are differences. In my Spanish classes, there is a lot of repitition. This gives us opportunities to differentiate the lesson. I have also found that if you create a "game" with the lesson, it helps lower the "learning barrier".
She is always amazedwhen the children assure her they know exactly whatshe is talking about and then, as she walks around theroom, she finds that many students do have questions;they just did not realize it until they started doing theindependent work.
I do this as an adult! Haha, I feel like I understand it and then I go to apply it and blackout... kind of like learning the rules for a card game. My students do this, too. Sometimes they just need a little validation!
We then use a similar QA summarization framework as Wu et al. (2023) which produces QA dialogueon game mechanics
Q: what was the main focus of this paper?
A: "Read and Reap the Rewards: Learning to Play Atari with the Help of Instruction Manuals"
Our framework consists of a QA Extraction module that extracts and summarizes relevant information from the manual and a Reasoning module that evaluates object-agent interactions based on information from the manual
Wu et al. (2023) proposes a summary (Read) and reasoning (Reward) through a QA promptingframework with an open-source QA LLM Tafjord and Clark (2021). The framework demonstratesthe possibility of an using real-world human-written manuals to improve RL performance on populargames, despite limiting the interaction types to only “hit”. Our framework handles all 17 kinds ofinteractions available in the game. Moreover, our framework makes use of information on tech-treedependencies, and suggestions on desired policies extracted from the academic paper

Mixed Reality is a form of augmented reality that incorporates elements of AR and VR.
This would also be good to incorporate into the blog as well as its a mixture of the two main topics. It also seems like the difference between VR/AR is work-based vs game-based.
VR lets users explore a completely digital environment or even a virtual representation of a building that isn’t yet constructed.
These are more of the developments that I wanted to look into - the more work aspect of things because I feel as if the initial developments were more video game-oriented.
When we observe a fictional world, we actively add details in order to become immersed.
How does this connect to the image? This might be a good place to expand the quote into the game.
Really nice work with the quotation. In your connection to the image and the game, you need more explanation.
In the image from Lost Scroll Vidya talks directly to the reader which shatters the digital fourth wall and thus creates a formidable environment for the player and contributing to the uncomfortable aspect of the game.
I like how you explained how the fourth wall is a line or bubble that should keep the reader and game still separate. Although, I did not really get how the game was an uncomfortable experience, so maybe elaborate a little.
They don’t want another social media site copying their hard work in coming up with an algorithm

A love so deep I gave you my all —From my mind & bodyTo my spirit & soul.
the way this is written establishes a relationship between Kobe and basketball, with the description of his emotions for basketball, allowing for the game to be personified
My mind can handle the grindBut my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
Physically he is not the same as he was, even though his love and soul are still in the game, he knows that all things have to come to an end.
Dear Basketball,
Kobe adds indirect characterization to the game of basketball using personification to show his relationship.
I gave you my heartBecause it came with so much more.
I like this line because you can really feel the love Kobe had for the game. Playing basketball came with so much more than just his heart.

Mr. Summers said soberly, “guess we better get started, get this over with, so’s we can go back to work. Anybody ain’t here?”
Mr Summers is about to start the game with the villagers that were around to have everything on schedule
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

The situation was complicated on a number of levels: beyond the question of whether a given country had good relations with Cuba and was therefore fair game for inclusion (China and South Korea were off limits, for instance)
Connection: While taking about bienal in Cuba, it also reminds me of China's participation in bienal. When China began to attend bienal, the government emphasize the political power of the bienal and the construction of national identity. Even till today, art in China is still closely connected to politics. The freedom of art and the politics are always related.
for the player, this person is Joel
Players exist to keep safe the character they control. Players are trying to keep Joel alive. Then, narratively, Ellie does the same thing. Players keep Joel alive so he can save Ellie, then, when game play shifts from Joel to Ellie, players try to keep Ellie alive to keep Joel alive to keep Ellie alive. This is something ONLY the video game can do-- these are its "bones"
Dr. Gentile suggested that teenagers who are experiencing problems may retreat into gaming, and that the gaming may, in turn, increase their depression and isolation.
I agree with this statement. Many kids who play excessive amounts of video games are doing so as a form of escapism. They often already are experiencing depression and, in moderation, video games can help deal with it. However, when it gets to the point where a majority of their time is spent playing video games, it only contributes to those feelings of depression. I am currently a teenager and I often play video games (not to the extent of these people though). I find that playing video games actually helps me connect to people better as I play games that my friends recommend or multiplayer games. The way video games affect a person really depends on the type of game it is.

II. A Game of Chess
Other than the gaudy descriptions that follow, how is the a "game of chess?"
And if it rains, a closed car at four. And we shall play a game of chess, Pressing lidless eyes and waiting for a knock upon the door.
It's very hard to tell if the "A Game of Chess" writing stops here or if it's one whole poem and it keeps going.
Thank you. If you see dear Mrs. Equitone, Tell her I bring the horoscope myself: One must be so careful these days. Unreal City, Under the brown fog of a winter dawn, A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many, I had not thought death had undone so many. Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled, And each man fixed his eyes before his feet. Flowed up the hill and down King William Street, To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine. There I saw one I knew, and stopped him, crying: “Stetson! “You who were with me in the ships at Mylae! “That corpse you planted last year in your garden, “Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year? “Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed? “Oh keep the Dog far hence, that’s friend to men, “Or with his nails he’ll dig it up again! “You! hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable,—mon frère!” II. A Game of Chess The Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne, Glowed on the marble, where the glass Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines From which a golden Cupidon peeped out (Another hid his eyes behind his wing) Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra Reflecting light upon the table as The glitter of her jewels rose to meet it, From satin cases poured in rich profusion; In vials of ivory and coloured glass Unstoppered, lurked her strange synthetic perfumes, Unguent, powdered, or liquid—troubled, confused And drowned the sense in odours; stirred by the air That freshened from the window, these ascended In fattening the prolonged candle-flames, Flung their smoke into the laquearia, Stirring the pattern on the coffered ceiling. Huge sea-wood fed with copper Burned green and orange, framed by the coloured stone, In which sad light a carvéd dolphin swam. Above the antique mantel was displayed As though a window gave upon the sylvan scene The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale Filled all the desert with inviolable voice And still she cried, and still the world pursues, “Jug Jug” to dirty ears. And other withered stumps of time Were told upon the walls; staring forms Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed. Footsteps shuffled on the stair. Under the firelight, under the brush, her hair Spread out in fiery points Glowed into words, then would be savagely still. “My nerves are bad tonight. Yes, bad. Stay with me. “Speak to me. Why do you never speak. Speak. “What are you thinking of? What thinking? What? “I never know what you are thinking. Think.” I think we are in rats’ alley Where the dead men lost their bones. “What is that noise?” The wind under the door. “What is that noise now? What is the wind doing?” Nothing again nothing. “Do “You know nothing? Do you see nothing? Do you remember “Nothing?” I remember Those are pearls that were his eyes. “Are you alive, or not? Is there nothing in your head?” But O O O O that Shakespeherian Rag— It’s so elegant So intelligent “What shall I do now? What shall I do?” “I shall rush out as I am, and walk the street “With my hair down, so. What shall we do tomorrow? “What shall we ever do?” The hot water at ten. And if it rains, a closed car at four. And we shall play a game of chess, Pressing lidless eyes and waiting for a knock upon the door. When Lil’s husband got demobbed, I said— I didn’t mince my words, I said to her myself, HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME Now Albert’s coming back, make yourself a bit smart. He’ll want to know what you done with that money he gave you To get yourself some teeth. He did, I was there. You have them all out, Lil, and get a nice set, He said, I swear, I can’t bear to look at you. And no more can’t I, I said, and think of poor Albert, He’s been in the army four years, he wants a good time, And if you don’t give it him, there’s others will, I said. Oh is there, she said. Something o’ that, I said. Then I’ll know who to thank, she said, and give me a straight look. HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME If you don’t like it you can get on with it, I said. Others can pick and choose if you can’t. But if Albert makes off, it won’t be for lack of telling. You ought to be ashamed, I said, to look so antique. (And her only thirty-one.) I can’t help it, she said, pulling a long face, It’s them pills I took, to bring it off, she said. (She’s had five already, and nearly died of young George.) The chemist said it would be all right, but I’ve never been the same. You are a proper fool, I said. Well, if Albert won’t leave you alone, there it is, I said, What you get married for if you don’t want children? HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME Well, that Sunday Albert was home, they had a hot gammon, And they asked me in to dinner, to get the beauty of it hot— HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight. Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight. Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night. III. The Fire Sermon The river’s tent is broken: the last fingers of leaf Clutch and sink into the wet bank. The wind Crosses the brown land, unheard. The nymphs are departed. Sweet Thames, run softly, till I end my song. The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers, Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends Or other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed. And their friends, the loitering heirs of city directors; Departed, have left no addresses. By the waters of Leman I sat down and wept . . . Sweet Thames, run softly till I end my song, Sweet Thames, run softly, for I speak not loud or long. But at my back in a cold blast I hear The rattle of the bones, and chuckle spread from ear to ear. A rat crept softly through the vegetation Dragging its slimy belly on the bank While I was fishing in the dull canal On a winter evening round behind the gashouse Musing upon the king my brother’s wreck And on the king my father’s death before him. White bodies naked on the low damp ground And bones cast in a little low dry garret, Rattled by the rat’s foot only, year to year. But at my back from time to time I hear The sound of horns and motors, which shall bring Sweeney to Mrs. Porter in the spring. O the moon shone bright on Mrs. Porter And on her daughter They wash their feet in soda water Et O ces voix d’enfants, chantant dans la coupole! Twit twit twit Jug jug jug jug jug jug So rudely forc’d. Tereu Unreal City Under the brown fog of a winter noon Mr. Eugenides, the Smyrna merchant Unshaven, with a pocket full of currants C.i.f. London: documents at sight, Asked me in demotic French To luncheon at the Cannon Street Hotel Followed by a weekend at the Metropole. At the violet hour, when the eyes and back Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits Like a taxi throbbing waiting, I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two lives, Old man with wrinkled female breasts, can see At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea, The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights Her stove, and lays out food in tins.

The time is now propitious, as he guesses, The meal is ended, she is bored and tired, Endeavours to engage her in caresses Which still are unreproved, if undesired. Flushed and decided, he assaults at once; Exploring hands encounter no defence; His vanity requires no response, And makes a welcome of indifference.

The game was last night when the article was writen right before game time. This article is based on timeliness for those who wanted to see James Harden play.
investigating whether the Philadelphia 76ers and guard James Harden violated the league's new player participation policy for their opening night national television game against the Milwaukee Bucks
The NBA has implemented a new policy that star players can only sit out so many games especially when on national television. This is due to star players being rested by choice or by team. Results in lower views and unhappy fans.
“We believe that an expanded gaming content organization — one that enables Xbox Game Studios and ZeniMax’s development studios to collaborate effectively together — will empower those world-class studios to do their best work in growing our portfolio of games players love.”
This seems good because I think the people which is us gamers just want good fun games that we can enjoy playing.
Atop the list was Ohio State, Michigan’s top rival in the Big Ten, and scouts planned to attend as many as eight games, costing more than $3,000 in travel and tickets.
This is proximate to me being from Ohio and being an Ohio State fan because Michigan has won the last two years in The Game but have been cheating to do it so this has a direct affect on the game
There is no place for luck in this game. This is all about strategy.

The people on IGN are probably drawn to this because it is a relevant topic because it is a gigantic game release that many have been looking forward to and to know that it is selling so well is great news and an indicator of how the game is selling already as well.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Fastest-Selling PlayStation Studios Game
This is news because it is a shocking stat, that is relevant and topical because the game just came out this week. But its timely because it shows that within the first day of release how popular the game is among consumers.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man 2 is a greatly hyped up and anticipated game, after the success of insomniac's first Spider-man game in 2018. The game came out this week.
While we have our concerns about the privacy of our information, we often share it with social media platforms under the understanding that they will hold that information securely. But social media companies often fail at keeping our information secure.
Social media is a double-edged sword. While we use social media to connect, we also worry about data breaches and misuse. We should always be cautious about what we share, and that these companies need to step up thier game when it comes to keeping our personal information safe.
Winning a Losing Game, Part VI: The Impact of Price Elasticity
Link to the article on the web. https://www.trillianthealth.com/company/blog/winning-a-losing-game-part-vi-the-impact-of-price-elasticity
In the wake of newly released models such as Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT, generative AI has become a 'hot topic' for technologists, investors, policymakers and for society at large.
This is very true as lately, platforms as stable diffusion and chatGPT have been the hot topic along with the advancement of AI itself. Overtime, I believe there will be more AI generated platforms that will that will be useful for data scientists along with society as a whole. AI sooner rather than later, will be used to carry out tasks replacing humans as it will become more powerful and dependent upon.
Relays, string figures, pass-ing patterns back and forth, giving and receiving, patterning, holdingthe unasked-for pattern in one’s hands, response-ability; that is core towhat I mean by staying with the trouble in serious multispecies worlds.Becoming-with, not becoming, is the name of the game; becoming-withis how partners are, in Vinciane Despret’s terms, rendered capable.7 On-

error theory -- meaning is made up by society and tradition rules of chess have no meaning to those who do not know how to play the game good is indefinable but still has intrinstic meaning (our ability to recognize suggests that it his significaint meaning)
Do you think there is information that could be discovered through data mining that social media companies should seek out (e.g., they can’t make their platform treat people fairly without knowing this)?
With data mining in my opion a lot of things are fair game. If you decide to download a social media app that is made to waste your time of course they are going to target content towards your interest. Without data mining social media apps would not be as successful and the user experience would be worse. One way or another your data is out there somewhere whether you like it or not. I think there should be a line of where that date is used. For example someone doxing or impersonating you. Ultimately it is the responsibility of the companies to keep that data safe.
Any recommendations on Analog way of doing it? Not the Antinet shit
reply to u/IamOkei at https://www.reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/17beucn/comment/k5s6aek/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
u/IamOkei, I know you've got a significant enough practice that not much of what I might suggest may be helpful beyond your own extension of what you've got and how it is or isn't working for you. Perhaps chatting with a zettelkasten therapist may be helpful? Does anyone have "Zettelkasten Whisperer" on a business card yet?! More seriously, I occasionally dump some of my problems and issues into a notebook, unpublished on my blog, or even into a section of my own zettelkasten, which I never index or reconsult, as a helpful practice. Others like Henry David Thoreau have done something like this and there's a common related practice of writing "Morning Pages" that you can explore. My own version is somewhat similar to the idea of rubber duck debugging but focuses on my own work. You might try doing something like this in one of Bob Doto's cohorts or by way of private consulting sessions. Another free version of this could be found by participating in Will's regular weekly posts/threads "Share with us what is happening in your ZK this week" at https://forum.zettelkasten.de/. It's always a welcoming and constructive space. There are also some public and private (I won't out them) Discords where some of the practiced hands chat and commiserate with each other. Even the Obsidian PKM/Zettelkasten Discord channels aren't very Obsidian/digital-focused that you couldn't participate as an analog practitioner. I've even found that participating in book clubs related to some of my interests can be quite helpful in talking out ideas before writing them down. There are certainly options for working out and extending your own practice.
Beyond this, and without knowing more of your specific issues, I can only offer some broad thoughts which expand on some of the earlier discussion above.
I recommend stripping away Scheper's religious fervor, some of which he seems to have thrown over lately along with the idea of a permanent note or "main card" (something I think is a grave mistake), and trying something closer to Luhmann's idea of ZKII.
An alternate method, especially if you like a nice notebook or a particular fountain pen, might be to take all of your basic literature/fleeting notes along with the bibliographic data in a notebook and then just use your analog index cards/slips to make your permanent notes and your index.
Ultimately it's all a lot of the same process, though it may come down to what you want to call it and your broad philosophy. If you're anti-antinet, definitely quit using the verbiage for the framing there and lean toward the words used by Ahrens, Dan Allosso, Gerald Weinberg, Mark Bernstein, Umberto Eco, Beatrice Webb, Jacques Barzun & Henry Graff, or any of the dozens of others or even make up your own. Goodness knows we need a lot more names and categories for types of notes—just like we all need another one page blog post about how the Zettelkasten method works by someone who's been at it for a week. Maybe someone will bring all these authors to terms one day?
Generally once you know what sorts of ideas you're most interested in, you take fewer big notes on administrivia and focus more of your note taking towards your own personal goals and desires. (Taking notes to learn a subject are certainly game, but often they serve little purpose after-the-fact.) You can also focus less on note taking within your entertainment reading (usually a waste) and focusing more heavily on richer material (books and journal articles) that is "above you" in Adler's framing. You might make hundreds of highlights and annotations in a particular book, but only get two or three serious ideas and notes out of it ultimately. Focus on this and leave the rest. If you're aware of the Pareto principle or the 80/20 rule, then spend the majority of your time on the grander permanent notes (10-20%), and a lot less time worrying about the all the rest (the 80-90%).
In the example above relating to Marx, you can breeze through some low level introductory material for context, but nothing is going to beat reading Marx himself a few times. The notes you make on his text will have tremendously more value than the ones you took on the low level context. A corollary to this is that you're highly unlikely to earn a Ph.D. or discover massive insight by reading and taking note posts on Twitter, Medium, or Substack (except possibly unless your work is on the cultural anthropology of those platforms).
A lot of the zettelkasten spaces focus heavily on the note taking part of the process and not enough on the quality of what you're reading and how you're reading it. This portion is possibly more valuable than the note taking piece, but the two should be hand-in-glove and work toward something.
I suspect that most people who have 1000 notes know which five or ten are the most important to where they're going and how they're growing. Focus on those and your "conversations with texts" relating to those. The rest is either low level context for where you're headed or either pure noise/digital exhaust.
If you think of ideas as incunables, which notes will be worth of putting on your tombstone? In other words: What are your "tombstone notes"? (See what I did there? I came up with another name for a type of note, a sin for which I'm certainly going to spend a lot of time in zettelkasten purgatory.)

I thought this statement was very interesting, we see continuously through Rowlandson's passage about mistreatments in her captivity. The toucher she endured as a woman within her captors of an Indigenous Society, but we also witness the "perks" of being a woman in captivity. I know from previous knowledge that the women in Indigenous communities and tribes are the mothers typically. they care for the children, medicine, skinning of animals to make clothing and shoes, and preparation of the food for when the males bring back game. So seeing this "perk" ( and am I under no means trying to make this sound good or put this into better light for Rowlandson) you can see through this treatment and her duties as a woman that she was taken care of more than Gyles. She was knitting, protected, and still fed ( kind of ) in comparison to the horror story Gyle endured as captured by the wolastoqiki.

Some reasons people engage in trolling behavior include:
Unless trolling is done in the most niche forum of humor I just think it's like the dumbest thing ever. I think it's a crazy waste of time for the troll and those getting trolled and it just says a lot about the person one is if they choose to spend their day hurting or bringing down others. Sometimes it's just a by-part of someone being funny in a game or playful with buddies, but most often that's not the case. It's just weak and to bully from behind the key board shows how little strength and courage the bully really has. It's something internal - like a God complex - to need to feel satisfaction from messing with others (especially innocent users).
Interactive fiction (IF) differs from the works mentioned above in having stronger game elements
KORMICH DARIA: And this is the important feature of electronic literature - it reflects all modern trends - gamification in particular. Games have long been an integral part of our culture, so it is not surprising that the general plot of the most famous of them is becoming familiar to all active Internet users. Thus, the concept of electronic literature includes these plots as well.
In the game, players picked cards from red and blue decks, winning and losing play money with each pick. The players were hooked up to lie-detector-like devices that measure skin conductance response, or CSR, which climbs as your stress increases and your palms sweat. Most players get a feeling that there’s something amiss with the red decks after they turn over about 50 cards, and after 30 more cards, they can explain exactly what’s wrong. But just ten cards into the game, their palms begin sweating when they reach for the red decks. Part of their brains know the red deck is a bad bet, and they begin to avoid it—even though they won’t consciously recognize the problem for another 40 cards and won’t be able to explain it until 30 cards after that. Long before they have a hunch about the red deck, a subconscious prehunch warns them away from it.
What was wrong with the red decks?
As a conclusion main study, it has been determined that the motivations for make money, socialization, and being in the game carry the risks that can lead to sports betting addiction, and that individuals may be adversely affected by this situation as a result of the fact that these motivation elements lead the behavior in a frequent and repeated manner.
This si a more basic yet good conclusion just making sure to restate the main big point to help connect the readers minds back to all the information that they have already read.
Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important A Wildly Important Goal is defined simply as “the most important objective that won’t be achieved without special attention.” Your organization can have many top priorities that you are already organized to effectively accomplish. A WIG is a high-priority objective that won’t be achieve if you just keep going about things as you always have. To be achievable, a WIG must be defined in terms of where you are now, where you want to be, and by when. In other words, you need to define: A starting line A finish line A deadline Helping your team or organization focus on a clearly defined WIG is “the first step to creating a winnable game.” Review the following page and watch the video for a deeper understanding of Discipline 1: Disciple 1: Focus on the Wildly Important
Discipline 1, which emphasizes focusing on the Wildly Important Goals (WIGs), is a fundamental concept in the pursuit of organizational success. A WIG is the pinnacle of priorities that require extraordinary attention and cannot be accomplished through business as usual. To make a WIG achievable, it must be well-defined, encompassing the starting point, the destination, and a set deadline.
In the words of Stephen R. Covey, renowned author and leadership expert, "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing." This quote underscores the importance of Discipline 1 in ensuring that the most crucial objectives receive the necessary emphasis and effort.
Furthermore, Sean Covey, the author of "The 4 Disciplines of Execution," provides a complementary perspective on WIGs: "A wildly important goal is a goal that can make all the difference. It’s a goal that will impact the organization in a big way, and it requires a team to change their behavior."
Discipline 1, by guiding organizations in identifying and focusing on their Wildly Important Goals, sets the stage for achieving success and creating a "winnable game" by concentrating resources where they will have the greatest impact.

Do you think it matters which human typed the Tweet? Does the emotional expression (e.g., anger) of the Tweet change your view of authenticity?
I think it depends. Regarding Donald Trump, I believe that Twitter aggression is his game to appeal to his base as a "non-politician". The article claims that the tweets from the supposedly "Trump campaign" post in a different style that softens the rough edges of himself, but I think both senders represent Donald Trump and his MAGA movement anyway, so the sender's real identity doesn't matter to me.
Have you witnessed different responses to trolling? What happened in those cases?
I see trolling most prominently through video games, often in real-time whether it be through chat functions or over voice chat. In these cases, trolls usually antagonize people for amusement (possibly by intentionally doing poorly in a game) or to emphasize their superior skill in some way.

“I think gacha games have less monetization... or like, top-down stuff. Because it’s separated from the gameplay. You’re making a good game, and then gacha is the monetization. Whereas for a [free-to-play strategy] game like Clash of Clans, monetization is the core thing, and you pay for time.” However, he acknowledged that the game still involved gambling. “I think it deserves to be criticized. Or at least looked at critically.”
I agree the game's core gameplay is amazing and to be able to run in a portable device is a technological marvel, but that doesn't mean gambling is good as you should not go for a roll when you don't have enough money
“If my family and non-gamer friends ever knew, they would absolutely lose their minds,” said one government employee who spent over a thousand dollars on the game.

if you play Clash Royale and you paid to upgrade all your cards to level 13, you'll have a clear advantage against an opponent with level 11 cards. However, the free-to-play player can and will eventually have the same level 13 cards, but they'll have to make a bigger effort than you.
Thats not the case sometimes as the cards are more leveled meaning more possibilities to ruin ones fun in a game, but at least there is a chance to win ig

With AI cloning the voices of actors, however, “We’ve lost control over what our voice could possibly say.”
This is very true and also very scary! I couldn't imagine being a celebrity right now living with the fact that my voice is somewhere cloned on the internet and someone can use it to say anything without my permission.
Following the resolution of the WGA strike, SAG-AFTRA reached a standstill with the AMPTP in their negotiations, with the use of AI being one issue that continues to divide the two groups.
AI is definitely changing a bunch of industries for better or worse, especially the Hollywood entertainment industry.
The use of artificial intelligence remains a hotly debated topic in Hollywood, as industry workers worry if their talent will be replaced by technology, while others predict AI will only enhance what Hollywood creatives are capable of.
I think as AI becomes more capable, it has the potential to make people question whether or not it's a robot or a human.
Szwed noted that Reczek’s sons “were very supportive.”
Glad that they talked to Reczek's family before replication or else that would've been very weird and disrespectful.

REASONS ON WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE THE RESEARCH INTO HYPERSONIC TRAVELS
The 1980s and 1990s also saw an emergence of more instant forms of communication with chat applications. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) lets people create “rooms” for different topics, and people could join those rooms and participate in real-time text conversations with the others in the room.
I can't imagine how popular the chat rooms must've been at the time of creation — being able to text other random people in real-time. Even now, simple features like being able to communicate, see or play a game within an app or webpage can impress me. You can kinda already predict the unethical things that people might do with this tool. That's what happens with sites like Omegle (for instance): the appeal of live video chatting with complete random strangers, is combined with the potential harm that someone could steal your information or a stranger could tell you your exact address.
he user interface of a computer system (like a social media site), is the part that you view and interact with. It’s what you see on your screen and what you press or type or scroll over. Designers of social media sites have to decide how to layout information for users to navigate and decide how the user performs various actions (like, retweet, post, look up user, etc.). Some information and actions will be made larger and easier to access while others will be smaller or hidden in menus or settings. As we look at these interfaces, there are two key terms we want you to know: Affordances are what a user interface lets you do. In particular, it’s what a user interface makes feel natural to do. So for example, an interface might have something that looks like it should be pressed, or an interface might open by scrolling a little so it is clear that if you touch it you can make it scroll more (see a more nuanced explanation here) Friction is anything that gets in the way of a user performing an action. For example, if you have to open and navigate through several menus to find the privacy settings, that is significant friction. Or if one of the buttons has a bug and doesn’t work when you press it, so you have to find another way of performing that action, which is significant friction. Designers sometimes talk about trying to make their user interfaces frictionless, meaning the user can use the site without feeling anything slowing them down. Sometimes designers add friction to sites intentionally. For example, ads in mobile games make the “x” you need to press incredibly small and hard to press to make it harder to leave their ad:
It’s interesting to think about the duality of friction. While designers strive for an experience that is free of this, friction can sometimes be intentionally added for various purposes, such as profit. Mobile game ads are an instructive example of intentionally increasing friction for a variety of motives; their inclusion is an instructive example for many users.
One famous example of reducing friction was the invention of infinite scroll. When trying to view results from a search, or look through social media posts, you could only view a few at a time, and to see more you had to press a button to see the next “page” of results. This is how both Google search and Amazon search work at the time this is written. In 2006, Aza Raskin invented infinite scroll, where you can scroll to the bottom of the current results, and new results will get automatically filled in below. Most social media sites now use this, so you can then scroll forever and never hit an obstacle or friction as you endlessly look at social media posts. Aza Raskin regrets what infinite scroll has done to make it harder for users to break away from looking at social media sites.
This infinite scroll ability also reminds me about how game development has evolved. 8-bit and point-click games also couldn't show more than one scene at a time, and from which developed side-scrollers, platforms, and eventually open-world, which is almost infinite in terms of possibilities and choices, similar to how social media works today.
It has reached over 2 billion downloads and has more than 100 million monthly active users in the U.S.
That is insane.
The user in question is Nathan Apodaca, who decided to film himself skateboarding to work while listening to “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac and drinking a bottle of Ocean Breeze’s cran-raspberry juice. The video exploded in popularity, spreading all around TikTok and across the internet.
It is crazy how something so little as that can blow up and turn into something that has consumed everyones lives.
In an online world, that story about you lives forever. The tipsy photograph of you at the college football game?
This article is a great example of how technology can hold many sensitive informations about people that shouldn't be up there if people were to find about about it. Personally, I wouldn't like if there were sensitive information about me on the web with any consent. Journalists should do a better job on removing unwanted content and information thats is very personal and can potentially affect someone's life.
X users were presented with false information ranging from video game footage and fireworks footage passed off as deadly attacks to fake pictures of soccer superstar Ronaldo holding the Palestinian flag
X is Twitter - The section demonstrates how false material about "X" included deceptive movies and altered photographs that were all misrepresented as true or genuine happenings. These illustrations show the potential damage and confusion that false information on social media sites might bring about.
to shifts in language,
This must be a major challenge in any translation of the bible or a similarly old text. Not only is it written in a language that isn't spoken anymore and with words that don't exactly align with modern day word usage, but even a translation from, say, the 1800's or early 1900's, would include language and grammatical styles that are difficult to understand and/or aren't used in the modern day. Furthermore, I'd imagine one challenge could be deciding what version to revise from. If you are revising from a version already translated multiple times, then it ends up like a game of telephone where each version of the bible is slightly further off from the "original" bible stories, versus going back and translating a new version directly from Aramaic.
so it was a shock when hefound out maybe life isn’t one long basketball game.
Interesting
As the sun hits my face and I breathe in the fresh air, I temporarily forget that I am at a sporting event. But when I open my eyes and look around, I am reminded of all things American. From the national anthem to the international players on the field, all the sights and sounds of a baseball game come together like a slice of Americana pie.
Here, the author gets the attention by personifying an abstract thing as a person, giving it the roll of the protagonist narrator.
Seeing the international representation on the field reminds me of the ways that Americans, though from many different backgrounds and places, still come together under common ideals. For these reasons and for the whole experience in general, going to a Major League Baseball game is the perfect way to glimpse a slice of Americana.

the author talks about how he believes going to a major baseball game is the perfect way to get an insight on america.
Few tastes are as American as hot dogs and soda pop, and they cannot be missed at a ball game.

Seeing several teams from different countries, he remembers why he is American and how proud he is to have been born in that country.
I quickly eat my hot dog and wash it down with what is left of my soda pop. The organ starts playing and everyone begins to sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game
It is incredible the sensation of singing that song in the seventh inning. the author describes very well that moment.
Before I am able to get back to my seat, I hear the crack of a bat, followed by an uproar from the crowd. Everyone is standing, clapping, and cheering. I missed a home run. I find my aisle and ask everyone to excuse me as I slip past them to my seat. “Excuse me. Excuse me. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry,” is all I can say as I inch past each fan. Halfway to my seat I can hear discarded peanut shells crunch beneath my feet, and each step is marked with a pronounced crunch.
Describes the joy that is made when one sits down to eat everything traditional in a game of baseball
In the fifth inning of the game, I decide to find a concessions stand. Few tastes are as American as hot dogs and soda pop, and they cannot be missed at a ball game. The smell of hot dogs carries through the park, down every aisle, and inside every concourse. They are always as unhealthy as possible, dripping in grease, while the buns are soft and always too small for the dog.
It is the typical food you buy in a baseball stadium, it is a unique experience and describes it in a very detailed and even funny way because it is true, the bread is always very small for the huge dog.
I take my seat as the umpire shouts, “Play ball!” and the game begins.
I think it’s the most exciting moment of the whole game because it’s the time when the wait is over and so they have to give it all in the diamond
But when I open my eyes and look around, I am reminded of all things American. From the national anthem to the international players on the field, all the sights and sounds of a baseball game come together like a slice of Americana pie.
Is a feeling of patriotism that reminds him of everything that means to be American

you can almost feel the extreme happiness emulating from the writer as he rexpreriences the joy of the food.
The crowd sings and hums “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and I feel a surprising amount of national pride through the voices.
descibing things everyone does at a baseball game, but does it in a way that keeps me engadged.

now trying to conect the surroundings with another sensation being taste.
damned hard to know where to start. It’s like a game of Battleship.

For example, imagine you are in a very dark movie theater. If you receive a text message, it is likely that many people would notice your cell phone light up. However, if you were in a brightly lit arena during a basketball game, very few people would notice. The cell phone brightness does not change, but its noticeability changes dramatically between the two contexts. Ernst Weber described the importance of context on difference threshold in the 1830s, and it has become known as Weber’s law: The difference threshold is a constant fraction of the original stimulus.
It also called Weber-Fechner law, it is an important psychological law quantifying the perception of change in a given stimulus. The law states that the change in a stimulus that will be just noticeable is a constant ratio of the original stimulus.
Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.'
The scene of the polluted river which "sweats oil and tar" is further dramatized through citation of Dante, which verifies to an extent that the scene of the person with "raised knees supine on the floor of a narrow canoe" is one of assault. The quote he references from Purgatorio 5:133-134 reads, "Do Thou remember me who am the Pia; Siena made me, unmade me Maremma” Pia de Tolemei was the gentle wife of a Tuscan captain, who threw her from a castle window in order to marry another woman. Siena refers to her noble family in which she was born, Maremma refers to the landholding of her Lord husband, assigning geographical locations to her "undoing". Therefore, the woman in the stanzas of TWL, is being "undone", being raped in Richmond, and murdered in Kew, the perpetrator weeping and promising "a new start", rendering the scene parallel to that of the white and black pawn from A Game of Chess, the man believing it necessary to "undo" what he has done by killing his victim, as well as the story of Pia. Finally, the identity of this woman I believe to perhaps be one of the nymphs "departed" from The Fire Sermon, the lyric and meter of the poem resembling a broken, distorted song, "Weialalala/Leia" and "la la". The industrial scene depicting the setting of the poem is further dramatized through this literal rape of nature.
Determined to understand better
the author seems confused about what is happening unlike the author in Americas past time where the author was sure of what was going on inn the baseball game
devastation
this scene seems sad unlike Americas past time where every one was happy and excited for the game
They did so in response to thewithholding of rations, the threat of violence, enforced starvation, thekilling of game and the destruction of agriculture. Call it coercion
the Dakota bands were obviously not signing the treaty willingly after being threatened and starved; it's ridiculous how easy it was for Congress to get away with this
