The Pillars of Eternity, one day longer for free, its really good! I am now playing it.
The best free game this year for me, and I am just few hours into it.
There is also free Obsidian Entertainment’s Tyranny - Gold Edition - a story-driven RPG where you’re destined to become the tirant, not bring him down, for one day longer.

Your body tries to maintain homeostasis, so
it down-regulates your dopamine receptors.
6:10
Essentially your brain gets used to having
high levels of dopamine and those levels become
6:14
your new normal.
(Obviously, they are making those suggestions,
despite measure to prevent the circumvention
of security measures in relation to detect it.
They also make use of suggestions of models,
rather than compare with other models
and their relative proof values, as well as certainty ratio...
This includes circumventing detection methods as well to
achieve their own means.
They also don't care about the potential damage they try
to hold others liable,
as if there would be no way for them to protect themselves
against it, or,
to lead them to act in ways favorable to their representation
and perception of military conditions they create for them
regardless of their security needs and potential for the
same military conditions they create.)
6:16
Thus you develop a dopamine tolerance.
6:17
This can be a huge problem, because the things
that don’t give you as much dopamine
(again, why not, and, why, for him...),
don’t
6:21
interest you any longer.
(Also, a suggestion of his perception of time.)
6:24
And it’s much more difficult to motivate youself
to do them.
(He also disregard motivation factors, and those trying to influence those factors, and how they apply to his analysis and the related systems.)
6:26
They feel boring and less fun
(although he is the one suggesting it),
because they don’t release as much dopamine, compared to
6:31
the things that do release it in high amounts.
(Again, why, and how, and why not, if not, and to who it doesn't, and why it doesn't to others.)
6:34
That’s why people tend to prefer playing video
games
(which might be to create dopamine or, suggesting
they do so create dopamine, to targets of their choice)
6:35
or browsing the internet
(again, without regards to intellectual property
to design networking systems and so on,
even if a court prosecutor seek to forfeit
that evidence and intellectual property...),
compared to studying or working on their business.
(Sorry, but, if my business is to study systems trying
to make me seem like if I don't study how they try
to make me seem like if I don't study,
I would not be doing my business,
when they seek to justify for me not to work there,
even though they are the ones liable for trying to do so,
even though I might want to prove it.)
6:39
Video games make us feel good and comfortable
(why and how, and compared to which proof?),
as they release a lot of dopamine.
6:41
6:45
Sadly, things like working hard or reading,
releases it in lower amounts.
6:47
This is one of the reasons why drug addicts who
try to quit, have a hard time adjusting to
6:52
a normal life
(that doesn't prove why it's normal and who tried to make other life not to be normal and why they would try to do so).
Grotte Chauvet - UNESCO World Heritage Site. On December 18, 1994, these explorers discovered the cave. … In the gorges of the Ardèche region, several caves have been discovered , some of which contain Paleolithic era paintings.

The Paleolithic or Palaeolithic or Palæolithic (/ˌpeɪl-, ˌpælioʊˈlɪθɪk/), also called the Old Stone Age , is a period in human prehistory distinguished by the original development of stone tools that covers c. 99% of the time period of human technological prehistory.[1] It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools by hominins c. 3.3 million years ago, to the end of the Pleistocene c. 11,650 calBP.

The Pleistocene ( /ˈplaɪs.təˌsiːn, -toʊ-/PLYSE-tə-seen, -toh-,[3] often colloquially referred to as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from about 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago, spanning the world’s most recent period of repeated glaciations. Before a change finally confirmed in 2009 by the International Union of Geological Sciences, the cutoff of the Pleistocene and the preceding Pliocene was regarded as being at 1.806 million years Before Present (BP). Publications from earlier years may use either definition of the period. The end of the Pleistocene corresponds with the end of the last glacial period and also with the end of the Paleolithic age used in archaeology. …
At the end of the preceding Pliocene, the previously isolated North and South American continents were joined by the Isthmus of Panama, causing a faunal interchange between the two regions and changing ocean circulation patterns, with the onset of glaciation in the Northern Hemisphere occurring around 2.7 million years ago. During the Early Pleistocene (2.58-0.8 Ma), archaic humans of the genus Homo originated in Africa and spread throughout Afro-Eurasia
Hmmm… Today was announced that vaccination against Cvoid 19 in Spain will begin on the 27th, next week nurses from the public health service will receive formation to use Pfizer’s cryogenic vaccine. There’s also talks that Spain will also be using the vaccine from Moderna once it’s available through the EU. Noone in my family is exactly eager to get a vaccine, even if we all are in risk groups… I hope we won’t be scheduled for a few months, and if it’s voluntary, probably will wait until summer (so far I’ve been avoiding to schedule a flu shot… we never get the flu in my family, and the only time my father got a flu vaccine he was pretty sick for a few days).
Anyway, it’s well past my time to go to bed so there I go… nighties lovelies!
Also: those times when you acidentally mix and switch your wires while plugging them in your rocket…
The orders from the control computer to the nozzles were literally inverted and so the Vega rocket went off course very quickly…
Just finished watching the first season of The Mandalorian. Same as happened with Rogue One, I kind of like better stories from the SW universe than the extra trilogies and stuff.
And now I’m off to bed, so I say: nighties lovelies!
Also: of course, what else than a dumpster fire to bid farewell to effin’ 2020?
(Spoiler: there’s a surprise after 58:30, roughly)

In mathematics, the term quadratic describes something that pertains to squares, to the operation of squaring, to terms of the second degree, or equations or formulas that involve such terms. Quadratus is Latin for square.

the square root of -1
Why is i the square root of negative one?
Here, the term “imaginary” is used because there is no real number having a negative square. There are two complex square roots of −1, namely i and −i, just as there are two complex square roots of every real number other than zero (which has one double square root).
Nov 22, 2017 — The gateway to the realm of imaginary numbers is the lower-case j, and it is … In electronics, all this comes into play when an ac circuit contains a load that … you would need to display both the voltage and current of interest.
Apr 23, 2013 — Electrical engineers use j for the square root of -1 while nearly … The usual explanation is that EE’s do this because they use i for current. … Here’s what moving from vectors to complex numbers looks like in math notation: … for basis vectors, but if I need one I use ei for the unit vector in the ith direction.
In the contexts where use of the letter i is ambiguous or problematic, the letter j or the Greek ι is sometimes used instead. For example, in electrical engineering and control systems engineering, the imaginary unit is normally denoted by j instead of i, because i is commonly used to denote electric current.
An Imaginary Number, when squared, gives a negative result. imaginary … Well i can! But in electronics they use j (because “i” already means current, and the next letter after i is j). … Those cool displays you see when music is playing? Yep …
Hey! that was interesting! The square root of −9 is simply the square root of +9, times i.
…
In general:
√(−x) = i√x
So long as we keep that little “i” there to remind us that we still
need to multiply by √−1 we are safe to continue with our solution!

*i* was used in electronic because it overloaded my RAM with
Discord 2 times.
But the 2nd time, I didn't reboot by restarting the computer
after disconnecting it,
because the shutdown system was also interfered from the
imaginary interruption.
So, now, I fixed it,
however this above link which was loaded was also removed from
the history file,
and didn't show up from the Google search the 2 other times.
Only on the 4th attempt, did it find where it was and displayed it,
as it was overloaded again with other data interfering against it on
my end, with the same imagination of their ideas.

Those cool displays you see when music is playing? Yep, Complex Numbers are used to calculate them! Using something called “Fourier Transforms”.
In fact many clever things can be done with sound using Complex Numbers, like filtering out sounds, hearing whispers in a crowd and so on.
It is part of a subject called “Signal Processing”.
The maximum surprise is for p = 1/2, when there is no reason to expect one outcome over another, and in this case a coin flip has an entropy of one bit. The minimum surprise is when p = 0 or p = 1, when the event is known and the entropy is zero bits. Other values of p give different entropies between zero and one bits.
…
…
The entropy was originally created by Shannon as part of his theory of communication, in which a data communication system is composed of three elements: a source of data, a communication channel, and a receiver. In Shannon’s theory, the “fundamental problem of communication” – as expressed by Shannon – is for the receiver to be able to identify what data was generated by the source, based on the signal it receives through the channel.
Entropy in information theory is directly analogous to the entropy in statistical thermodynamics. Entropy has relevance to other areas of mathematics such as combinatorics. The definition can be derived from a set of axioms establishing that entropy should be a measure of how “surprising” the average outcome of a variable is. For a continuous random variable, differential entropy is analogous to entropy.

The imaginary number *i* is just a negative result, which,
when multiplied by itself, does not equal to a positive number.
-2 multiplied by -2 = +4.
In *i* and *-i*'s case, the -1 is extrapolated out of the equation,
and,
reapplied on the final iteration of the calculation to generate
the negative number, even though it is not a real number.
It is a rule whereby and whereas the last iteration is
operated on last.

Looks like CP2077 is having some backlash, for the absymal performance in older consoles (many people point it shouldn’t have been released for them, there’s no way hardware 7 years old can handle a game like CP2077) and also the usual issues with bugs and performance. CDRP is offering refunds and people who like the company and the game hope they will survive this rought start. On the other hand, it being a single player game, it’s not like CDRP can keep getting income from the game after the initial launch and the usual DLC way…
of Tanagra figurines, a type of ancient Greek terracotta figurines, very naturalistic and usually painted. They are quite beautiful and it’s amazing how they’ve survived over 2400 years!
