Trackmania is a popular arcade car racing game series, with its first game released 20 years ago. One of its collision detection bugs related to a vehicle model where landings are not as smooth as players would expect ("landing bug") will soon be fixed by the developer Nadeo, in the latest game of the series, Trackmania 2020, after a player modified the game, fixed the issue, and shared the results inside the community. This video is one of the popular streamers of the game (Wirtual) commenting on this.


Are you sure level 5 autonomous driving is specific? What would be the exact goal behind decisions in such a system? Not even talking about the trolley problem, would the software optimize for speed or not harming people, for example? Obviously we would want a combination of both, otherwise people can either get harmed or not get anywhere in time. But then, how fast should it take a corner? How much chance of human harm should it allow to get somewhere fast? Furthermore, what do we mean by human harm? The system would obviously need to know what human harm is, to be able to avoid it. Which requires defining human and defining harm, both of which are incredibly difficult to do specifically - more on this by Rob Miles here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PKx3kS7f4A I don't think level 5 autonomous driving is specifically defined. We just don't have systems intelligent enough for this to be a problem yet.


A YouTuber called "30 Hertz" has been making several fake Eminem songs (+other artists) for 2 years now, in very good quality. An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMunOszEQHE

Holly shit. This is…Amazing!!!!


How does he do this?


Uhm lol kinda funny


Exactly the same for me. I've developed a similar style game in Delphi with multiple weapons, rocket jumps and everything. I've never been more excited to learn about trigonometric functions to get the arm movement right to follow the mouse cursor. I had no idea about the source code being public either!


> [...] swerving into an unmanned fruit stand without being able to brake is much better than swerving into an unmanned gas pump.

That's a great example.

Not to mention triggering any Rube Goldberg-machine-like chain reaction (even with just a few steps) where a series of events would need to be predicted.


Is there a museum for these extreme colors? (Like the blue in the article or the pink in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NzVmtbPOrM)


There is the Forbes pigment collection at Harvard's art museum.

I think an optical mouse placed on the reflective side of a CD achieves the same "jumping around" - effect.


AdasWorks is doing this, check the videos 'Data Generation Tool - Annotation' and 'Real-time Data Simulator' towards the bottom of this article (text is in Hungarian): http://index.hu/tech/2016/09/13/obudan_epul_az_autoipar_noki...


This reminds me of the song Zungguzungguguzungguzeng by Yellowman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV46OGU7ksE


Wouldn't surprised me if it's ultimately the source of the song's name, just in a different language or dialect.


By the way, Dasung Paperlike, the monochrome e-ink display is now on Indiegogo. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/paperlike-world-s-first-e...


Dasung is very cool for a text terminal. But last time I asked they required weird drivers, not available for Linux of course.
