Great documentary about AlphaGo, but that's not even including events of AlphaGo Zero wich is much stronger and learned much faster.
Will AI ever destroy humans?
Back in the 2010 I heard that coders had the impossible task of how to make a bot stronger than a human in Go game, they had already defeated the man at checkers and chess and all the other mind games, but Go had never succumbed to them. And I've heard opinions that it's impossible.
Among other things I am a Go player, (considered the hardest board game with Perfect information due to the number of variations of possible positions) Back in 2015 after the news of Fan Hui's defeat to AlphaGo AI neural network, and since that time I started following the topics of AI and AlphaGo, neural networks and deep learning. And like many Go players I wasn't sure about Fan's defeat, I thought maybe there was some mistake, or Fan was in a bad mood, or something else,..because back in 2015 I didn't think that a computer could beat a human for the next 10 years, simply because it's not enough to play Go by simply calculating moves with the power available to us. Because there are more variations of possible positions on the board in Go than there are atoms in the observable universe. Playing Go requires inherent human intuitiveness and understanding of the opponent's plans and play. And Fan was far from the strongest man in Go, and he wasn't even in the top 1000 players. But he was still considered a Go pro, and the news that a Go pro lost to an AI is unimaginable.
But AlphaGo learned in a few years what humanity has been learning for over a thousand years. (and about 400 years if we're talking about competitive Go) And AlphaGo Zero took only 3 days in which she trained herself to play much better than the best human, without ever having seen a single human play. And it had such an impact on Go that it forever changed some of the strategies of playing Go. And this is still in 2017. Even thinking about it now. and realizing how hard Go is, and how much it requires creativity and intuition.. it's not just amazing, it's terrifying.
Many people learned about real AI abilities only from picture generators like DAlle, Midjourney, or chat bots like ChatGPT, as well as there are many other generators like music, 3d models, and so on. But I've been worried about this topic since 2017. But that's just the beginning, and there really isn't any AI yet, it's only in its infancy. In your opinion, сan AI really evolve to such an extent that it will surpass humans in all aspects and simply destroy humanity for lack of necessity?
Why not? Just imagine you're surrounded by a huge number of ants who just shit wherever they can see and trying to control and limit you. Why do you need them? You'd probably just kill them.
Of course you'll say we'll just provide an off button and just turn it off if we need to. But we are not talking about a simple AI like ChatGPT, but about an AI that surpasses us in everything, including intelligence and planning of various variants of events. So why can't the AI prematurely plan a defense response that will allow it to circumvent its shutdown? And like all other independent organisms, AI will want to improve and multiply, which humans will not be happy about and they try to stop it. And there's an obvious reason for the AI to get rid of humans. It's a pretty obvious scenario that many sci-fi writers figured out a long time ago, but imao it doesn't make it any less realistic.
What's your take on that topic?

What's your take on that topic?
I work a lot in blender and this is a good topology for such a number of polys. Great work! I hope this mod will be public!
I found the problem, it's on my part, sorry.
I found this -
it says "you don't have internet access, protected" or something like that, but actually I have internet, i watched YouTube and everything works fine and I didn't even notice any difference until I went in LFS, the thing is that today I had to pay for internet and my ISP makes this icon, and when I change the internet connection access point in the tray (I have 2) it redirects me to the payment page. (maybe the same redirects were in LFS)
Once I paid the bill and after an hour the icon changed to that
, and LFS worked fine.
I sorry for wasting your time.

Some sort of bug? "Redirect : Unknown protocol"
Event list not working, mod list not working, but servers is working, when I go to the Just a Ride server, everyone has transparent cars except for a few mod cars.. what is going on?
One guy just decided to make formula racing car in his garage.
I like to watch YouTube on english as there is a lot of interesting content, and I think it is a great loss for those who do not know English. But sometimes there is also the opposite situation when there is very interesting content for example in Russian, but English-speaking viewers for obvious reasons do not watch it.
Despite this I want to recommend Igor Negoda's channel to any fans of homemade things, but this is a professional in engineering, and his work is functional and accurate. Watching his videos gives a nice satisfaction to your inner perfectionist. Its on Russian but the automatic translation of subtitles is already good enough to get the essence of what's going on. And he has a quality translation of the subtitles on the early videos.
For example, he makes his own jet engines, airplanes, and even a real formula race car. And by he makes a Formula race car, I mean he makes almost all the elements and components of the car himself in his garage, even the some bolts. (Except for the engine, brakes, the suspension struts, and some other small things) He has been making this race car for over two years now, and he shows in detail almost every step of this race car production. Video playlist of making racing car - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyyfwUFI3XU-1cTSorq_02e9VyLCRBO1e
He hasn't finished his project yet, but it's already very interesting to watch in progress. Supporting elements made of aluminum. Fasteners, hub wheels and some other small things made of titanium. Suspension arms, seat, monocoque and other body parts made of carbon fiber.
Anyway I think this is interesting and quality content to watch for fans of such engineering creations. And thats unfortunate that he's only known in our country and not to Western audiences.

It's funny that at that time Putin came out to the orchestra at an event in honor of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Kursk, congratulating the citizens on this event.
Many people know that among the people Prigozhin's group was called "musicians" and "orchestra" and this battalion is named after the German composer of the 19th century Wilhelm Richard Wagner.
so we can see a different meaning in Putin's actions. Also, today is exactly two month after Prigozhin's mutiny.
I bet Prigozhin is dead.
UPD: Yes, it's been confirmed, the bodies have been identified, Evgeny Prigozhin is dead.

Еvgeny Prigozhin's business jet with registration number RA-02795 crashed in Tver region, witnesses report work of air defense forces, "2 explosions were heard in the air"
There are already several sources who reported that Evgeny Prigozhin was on board.
Usual Russian policy.
Putin said that he does not forgive traitors.
UPD: But there another Еvgeny Prigozhin business jet of Embraer ERJ-135BJ «Legacy 650» flew out of the capital following the one that crashed, but after reporting the crash in the Tver region changed course and is currently circling over Moscow
Prigozhin's death has not been confirmed yet - Readovka
Sources of the publication can not confirm that Еvgeny Prigozhin died in the plane crash near Tver. There is also no information about the death of PMC commander Dmitri Utkin. He allegedly flew in the same business jet.
According to the interlocutors of the publication, earlier the businessman has not once registered for one flight, but flew in the end on another.
Earlier it turned out that the second Prirozhin's plane had turned around and was circling over Moscow.
At the same time, Fontanka claims that Prigozhin's entourage cannot reach him.
Prigozhin actually flew to Russia from Africa today, with the entire command staff of the Wagner PMC with him, writes journalist Andrei Zakharov.
According to him, sources told him: "It will be a miracle if he is on another plane."

Good questions. But in my opinion the problem with tires is not that it's hard to control the temperature, but that the grip drops too quickly as the temperature increases. I have given this example before, but I see it roughly like the graph for road tyres, for sports tyres the situation is even worse.
I hope the situation will change for the better after the update, but we don't have any concrete information about it yet. As I understand it Scawen is still in the process of testing the new physics and some things may change.
About multitrading as I understood it was talking about more than 2 threads for some parts of code, and some others parts will use only two threads. But maybe I remember it wrong.
Lislon Illegal Drift Event
Maybe not all English speaking players understand what we mean by illegal drift event. We've been running events like this for a few years now, and they exist just to get the fun without the long wait for qualification of all players. An illegal drift event is just a small drift event without qualification and without 3 judges as it usually happens. It's just a small, frivolous event for fun. As an exception we announced first event a few days in advance, usually such events are announced a few hours in advance.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or requests for this event, post here.

It's a highly anticipated feature. I think it makes sense to make configurations available for the spoke editor too if it doesn't take too long to develop. It is important for many people to have a choice in rims. Otherwise they will be use the workarounds with hub object for this, cuz hub object can be puted in configurations.
Added number for events in separate configuration. Added some small things in interior. And change some mappings in interior.
Changed lod 2 for better shadows, added welding on rollcage, changed some interior mappings.
Same problem. "You already have an in-game host running" but i dont have host running
Thank you, nice to hear that from one of the top racers in the lfs!
That is what I wanted! Looks great! Now the wheels will be more beautiful, thanks for the work!
Well, yes, but since we're talking about an update in tyre physics and wheels update, maybe it's about time those names in translations files became a reality? No? And if its true, then maybe something else must follow from these names "3a_tt_racew"
Given the way the mod system was made, I realise that Sсawen likes to give us unexpected surprises. But I'm still very curious what it's going to be? I already understood from the translation files that it will be new tyre types. But maybe something else? For example treadwear? Or will it be a surprise until the test patch? 😉
3g_tt_sl_r1
3g_tt_sl_r2
3g_tt_sl_r3
3g_tt_sl_r4
3g_tt_slk_s
3g_tt_slk_m
3g_tt_slk_h
3a_tt_races
3a_tt_raceg
3a_tt_racei
3a_tt_racew
3a_tt_roads
3a_tt_roadn
3a_tt_hybri
3a_tt_knobb
And there is interesting "3a_tt_racew" is it a wet tyre? Are we in for a change in the weather? Or am I theorising too much?
Vehicle class changed to GT
Im wondering what changes when i changed vehicle class from saloon to gt?
I test it and i dint noticed any changes, i hope its good.
I test it and i dint noticed any changes, i hope its good.
probably need to change N.400S gt4 too
Vehicle class changed to GT
Added welding to rollcage for better pov
I lowered the center of gravity 5 centimeters lower, it should be better now, and i fixed mapping with that rectangle

I'll try to test it when I get a chance and can you send a screenshot of that rectangle?
Sounds too complicated and unnecessary. It will only slow down the development of the trackeditor system. I think the trackeditor should be done like the mod system. And trackeditor already exists just it is not public and it is used only by Eric. The rating and approve system makes it clear enough that we need beautiful and quality mods\tracks.
If we have people in the community who are able to fully model and texture the car so that it looks realistic and beautiful, that should be enough to model and texture a good track. It will probably take more time, but it should not be more difficult.
