An RTS we developed just recently (Iron Harvest) is still based on the same basic principle. But instead of peer to peer we use a "smart" proxy server that receives the commands of all clients and sends the entire sequence back to the client. That way if one client has a high ping the other players latency isn't affected.

The headline 'Bullshit-sensitivity predicts prosocial behavior' contradicts the summary from the abstract where it basically says: Profoundness-receptivity has a positive association with prosocial behaviour whereas bullshit-receptivity has a negative association with prosocial behavior.

So if you go by the abstract the results match your intuition!


Bullshit-sensitivity = ability to distinguish bullshit sentences from genuinely profound sentences

Bullshit-receptivity = tendency to perceive bullshit sentences as meaningful

So, BS-S is not BS-R, thus there is no contradiction. Mate, the guys wrote a paper about it, they're not going to have the abstract contradict the title.


Thank you. That receptive and sensitive were used as opposites not synonyms is exactly what I missed.


That explains a lot. I really can't relate do other coffee drinkers describing their experience. I often drink 0.4 liter of black coffee to get rid of the late evening sleepyness when I want some hours of productive free time for gaming or programming before bed. When I try to sleep ~3h later the effects of the coffee are largely gone and I fall to sleep within 5 minutes. I guess I've got a lot of that enzyme. ;) (which is nice)

You can't make an assumption like that, you have no evidence and there's many possibilities.


> BUT it cost petabytes and petabytes of flops, expensive enough that they released a total of ten or twenty Alpha Go Zero game to the world

Training is expensive but inference is cheap enough for Alpha Zero inspired bots to beat human professionals while running on consumer hardware. DeepMind could have released thousands of pro-level games if they wanted to and others have: http://zero.sjeng.org/


A total of 22593 games have been submitted. 416 clients have submitted games. You can get see live stats here: http://zero.sjeng.org/


Is the penis functional? Can they father kids?


Apparently most males with this condition are sterile http://www.digitaljournal.com/life/health/rare-medical-condi...


I remember reading in a book (I can't remember which one) that they had penises albeit smaller than average. It makes sense because a normal penis goes through two growth spurts and this one doesn't benefit from one of the two.


Assuming they can... otherwise this mutation would have died out quickly enough ?


it could be carried by X chromosome.


Assuming it's not caused by environmental factors (e.g., pollutants, toxins).


The article describes the location as a small, isolated, village. Pollutants & toxins aren't necessary, just good old genetics.


They had there chances and botched it.


I agree. The CDU became more and more liberal and conservative positions now get represented by a new party. It shows that the democracy is healthy even if I would never vote for them, personally.
