Pokemon Sparks Stampede in Taipei

poolcleaner says...

From experience, there is no map in the game, but there are various third party apps available that people use to pinpoint rare pokemon. It is against the terms of service to use these third party sites, so many people avoid them and just follow wherever the crowd goes -- or whomever they believe has an accurate map location and can prove it. Or the person running the fastest and with their phone in hand, excited about catching a pokemon.

Interesting thing to note is this: Sometimes the crowd is following a troll who uses a screenshot of a past rare pokemon in a location where there is no pokemon, causing a stampede of people who will end up wandering and wandering to no where at all.

It's quite sad... and funny.

So if you want to be an epic, EPIC, MOTHERFUCKING real life stampede creating TROLL, just go to locations where people play pokemon and pretend you know where rare pokemon are.

However... I did see someone get punched in the face after trolling someone, so... you may wish to vacate the area after trolling 1,000 real life humans in real life. Not quite just a game in that respect.

You may also wish to be a good actor and understand the concept of the game better than most non-players so that you can effectively troll people. Obvious trolls troll no one. Good trolls troll the fucking world.

From what I have seen in the game app's map, you follow the creature.

No Man's Sky Expectations Vs. Reality

poolcleaner says...

Pokemon Go expectations: I'm going to catch them all in real life! Maybe I'll see Pikachu chilling out in my backyard or a wild Rapidash running majestically through the field of my local park!

Pokemon Go reality: I'm getting robbed at gun point and trampled by a crowd of total idiots running into the street to catch a Charizard. Get out of the fucking intersection!!

Turn On, Tune In, Feel Good | Full Frontal with Samantha Bee

Lawdeedaw says...

On a funny aside, a Muslim tried to murder me in real life. Oh he hit hard as a bull, I can say that much. But fucker had no idea who I was. I was born with murder around me. I grew up waiting to die by a sociopath. Beaten, broken, the cycle never ending. Motherfucker didn't hit near hard enough even though everyone thought I might die.

And about ten "moderate" Muslims stood by while he tried to break my skull open. But after he broke his fists on my face I just stood up like a badass and dropped him on his face. I showed restrain to this would-be murderer, lol. I let him live and didn't even retaliate.

I actually applaud that psychopath, but the others that should have felt empathy that someone was being "killed" in front of their eyes, them I blame. And one had the audacity, the fucking audacity, to partially blame me for not calling the police...haha, silly Muslims, tricks are for kids. Guess my children don't need a father, eh? Guess my wife doesn't need a husband, eh. Because the moderates know what is in the Book.

You're right. I don't remember every conversation I have ever had.

Besides, people can change their mind.

So I go by what they say.

All the various Christian sects go back to the same book. Well, the Mormons have their extra bit, but they read the bible too.

There are plenty of Muslims who interpret their holy book in different ways.

I stand by my downvote as perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

PS Plenty of smiting and capital punishment in the Bible. No different than the Quran.

The Accountant –Trailer #2

aaronfr says...

Ah, yes. Another instance of the clear "whiteboard" movie trope.

They are a horrible idea and don't work in real life; but they do allow for the camera to capture the writing and the faces of the actors at the same time.

Houston Helicopter Officer Lands and Tackles Suspect

I'm on a boat, motherf... no wait, I'm in a Tesla

Jinx says...

Yeah, the battery pack would catch fire if exposed to water, they must have to seal it pretty well.

And yeah, as already mentioned the passenger compartment has a "bioweapon defence mode", presumably because Elon Musk is actually a real life Bond villain and he wants his customers to be safe from whatever doomsday scenario he has planned.

SDGundamX said:

Huh, I would have thought electric cars and water would mix a lot worse than that. Did they engineer it just for the possibility of flooded roads or is it a fluke of the car's design?

OR some people know reality versus fantasy because: empirical evidence (i.e. real life experience).

This gent probably has not seen The Reverent, because if he has, there is no way he would be stomping towards the bear to scare it off. That dude could have been breakfast.

Trumps Crazy CNN Interview about Mexican Judge

Babymech says...

Is this something that happens to you in real life? You just start talking and if nobody interrupts you, your speech breaks down into keywords? That seems like it could be a hurdle in life.

Tesla Model S driver sleeping at the wheel on Autopilot

RedSky says...

Woah, woah, you're way overstating it. The tech is nowhere near ready for full hands-off driving in non-ideal driving scenarios. For basic navigation Google relies on maps and GPS, but the crux of autonomous navigation is machine learning algorithms. Through many hours of data logged driving, the algorithm will associate more and more accurately certain sensor inputs to certain hazards via equation selection and coefficients. The assumption is that at some point the algorithm would be able to accurately and reliably identify and react to pedestrians, pot holes, construction areas, temporary traffic lights police stops among an almost endless litany of possible hazards.

They're nowhere near there though and there's simply no guarantee that it will ever be sufficiently reliable to be truly hands-off. As mentioned, the algorithm is just an equation with certain coefficients. Our brains don't work that way when we drive. An algorithm may never have the necessary complexity or flexibility to capture the possibility of novel and unexpected events in all driving scenarios. The numbers Google quotes on reliability from its test driving are on well mapped, simple to navigate roads like highways with few of these types of challenges but real life is not like that. In practice, the algorithm may be safer than humans for something like 99% of scenarios (which I agree could in itself make driving safer) but those exceptional 1% of scenarios that our brains are uniquely able to process will still require us to be ready to take over.

As for Tesla, all it has is basically auto-cruise, auto-steer and lane changing on request. The first two is just the car keeping in lane based on lane marker input from sensors, and slowing down & speeding up based on the car follow length you give it. The most advanced part of it is the changing lanes if you indicate it to, which will effectively avoid other cars and merge. It doesn't navigate, it's basically just for highways, and even on those it won't make your exit for you (and apparently will sometimes dive into exits you didn't want based on lane marker confusion from what I've read). So basically this is either staged or this guy is an idiot.
