"Jupylet is an amazing library for 2d and 3d game programming, live music coding and sound synthesis in pure python, and a framework for rendering thousands of frames per second for Reinforcement Learning, all rolled into one" - the baker
Jupylet is a library that enables creating and running pyglet games inside Jupyter notebooks both for kids learning to program and for researchers of reinforcement learning. RL researchers and developers can use it to easily create new environments, and to programmatically control and render thousands of frames per second.
for proportion, studying that planet and its sun is like trying to observe a flea orbiting a ping pong ball floating in space as far away as the moon...
the apple II, the C64, the mac, the Amiga, and later the PC, the Internet, Windows, Linux and then the IPhone and Android, dozens of other amazing projects, products, technologies and movements (e.g. open source), all revolutionized and transformed our lives or at least had some impact on the history of computing,
but how does an API for handling image formats amount to that today?
isn't it fair to say that the Amiga had its day in the 80s and 90s, and that time is now past?
Or to put it in Mr. Praline famous words: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
and I seem to remember "the 6 million dollar man" as the most awesome series ever, and yet once every couple of years when I get the urge to look up an episode for old times sake I need to confront reality, that it actually totally sucked.
take a look at this top 10 games video for the Amiga - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82kwS9fU7N4 , it may have rated as awesome in 1985-1990 but comparing it with anything today is totally ridiculous; and gaming is just an example, since this comparison extends to any other software genre, such as office, communication, engineering, scientific tools, programming tools, etc...
I was in love with my C64 and everything Commodore including the Amiga, as any Apple die hard is today; but isn't it time we moved on? it was a computer, and it is no more... chao, and thanks for all the fish...
Physics is most probably computable, since people created it; the real question is whether the world is (Turing) computable, and from my point of view it is clearly not. I find it remarkable that most people believe it is or that it might be.
I'm a dualist but for the sake of argument, one approach is to claim that however the brain functions, it should be explainable by physics, and if physics is computable, then it should in principle be simulable by a Turing Machine.
while not mentioned in the article, it is remarkable that this phenomena is very strongly apparent in dreams, in particular in lucid dreams; an effective way to dramatically change a dream is to walk through a door or a mirror; for example, you are in a distressing situation in your remote village home, you walk out the door to find out you are suddenly in a bustling big city street, you turn around open the door again, and find out it is the door of a restaurant, the previous scene having completely disappeared.
