So I've started playing the omega mod a little while ago and I'm trying to use the creature finder to find unique dinos but I don't know what the uniques are called. Does anyone know the names of some unique dinos I can go find?
Surprisingly, the Super Yuri can mind control up to 3 structures but not units. Keep in mind that because the Super Yuri does not appear in normal gameplay at all, the "ImmuneToPsionics" tag is used by structures to determine whether they can be hacked by the Emperor Tank. Thus, if a structure is immune to Emperor Tanks, it is immune to the Super Yuri as well.
Existential risk from artificial general intelligence is the hypothesis that substantial progress in artificial general intelligence (AGI) could result in human extinction or an irreversible global catastrophe.[1][2][3]
The plausibility of existential catastrophe due to AI is widely debated, and hinges in part on whether AGI or superintelligence are achievable, the speed at which dangerous capabilities and behaviors emerge,[5] and whether practical scenarios for AI takeovers exist.[6] Concerns about superintelligence have been voiced by leading computer scientists and tech CEOs such as Geoffrey Hinton,[7] Yoshua Bengio,[8] Alan Turing,[a] Elon Musk,[11] and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.[12] In 2022, a survey of AI researchers with a 17% response rate found that the majority of respondents believed there is a 10 percent or greater chance that our inability to control AI will cause an existential catastrophe.[13][14] In 2023, hundreds of AI experts and other notable figures signed a statement that "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war."[15] Following increased concern over AI risks, government leaders such as United Kingdom prime minister Rishi Sunak[16] and United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres[17] called for an increased focus on global AI regulation.
In March 2023, key figures in AI, such as Musk, signed a letter from the Future of Life Institute calling a halt to advanced AI training until it could be properly regulated.[38] In May 2023, the Center for AI Safety released a statement signed by numerous experts in AI safety and the AI existential risk which stated: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war."[39][40]
An existential risk is "one that threatens the premature extinction of Earth-originating intelligent life or the permanent and drastic destruction of its potential for desirable future development".[64]
Besides extinction risk, there is the risk that the civilization gets permanently locked into a flawed future. One example is a "value lock-in": If humanity still has moral blind spots similar to slavery in the past, AI might irreversibly entrench it, preventing moral progress. AI could also be used to spread and preserve the set of values of whoever develops it.[65] AI could facilitate large-scale surveillance and indoctrination, which could be used to create a stable repressive worldwide totalitarian regime.[66]
Isn't that exactly what the common/rare/epic rarities are already? To me the omegas don't look special enough to justify their crazy movesets and different mechanics, so my redesign does just that, make em more special.
These are so fucking badass holy shit! I love the references and callbacks to Jurassic Park Builder and Jurassic World The Game and I love how their designs are so monstrous and unnatural, In my opinion these are MUCH more better and creative than the omegas we have gotten
Before the event of Aria of the Elven Town, after seeing Lemonade Omega, Robert became hostile to her. While being hacked by Lemonade Omega, Robert tried to suicide in order to protect other Bioroids in the island, but his attempt was unsuccessful. Afterward he was ordered by Omega to brainwash the Bioroid villagers and experiment on the New Humanity Project in order to revive her Master.
Having at least some omega-3s in red blood cells was associated with better brain structure and cognitive function among healthy study volunteers in their 40s and 50s, according to research published online Oct. 5 in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Faculty of The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) and other investigators of the Framingham Heart Study conducted the analysis.
"Studies have looked at this association in older populations. The new contribution here is that, even at younger ages, if you have a diet that includes some omega-3 fatty acids, you are already protecting your brain for most of the indicators of brain aging that we see at middle age," said Claudia Satizabal, PhD, assistant professor of population health sciences with the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio. Satizabal is the lead author of the study.
Volunteers' average age was 46. The team looked at the relation of red blood cell omega-3 fatty acid concentrations with MRI and cognitive markers of brain aging. Researchers also studied the effect of omega-3 red blood cell concentrations in volunteers who carried APOE4, a genetic variation linked to higher risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers used a technique called gas chromatography to measure docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) concentrations from red blood cells. The omega-3 index was calculated as DHA plus EPA.
The team divided participants into those who had very little omega-3 red blood cell concentration and those who had at least a little and more. "We saw the worst outcomes in the people who had the lowest consumption of omega-3s," Satizabal said. "So, that is something interesting. Although the more omega-3 the more benefits for the brain, you just need to eat some to see benefits."
Researchers don't know how DHA and EPA protect the brain. One theory is that, because those fatty acids are needed in the membrane of neurons, when they are replaced with other types of fatty acids, that's when neurons (nerve cells) become unstable. Another explanation may have to deal with the anti-inflammatory properties of DHA and EPA. "It's complex. We don't understand everything yet, but we show that, somehow, if you increase your consumption of omega-3s even by a little bit, you are protecting your brain," Satizabal said.
The lower number in 2009 underscores the need for NOAA to act more aggressively to reverse the decline and save the whales from extinction, said Brendan Cummings, oceans program director with the Center for Biological Diversity, a group that has used legal pressure to try and get more protections for Cook Inlet belugas.
Of course, I experimented with cloud particles myself at that time and I obtained some nice results but these clouds always kinda lacked the fluffiness I was after. This I learned : you can't really have great fluffy clouds with particles. First because of their disjoint nature (you're not using a mesh or tracing through a continuous volume here, merely splatting flat stuff together), then because of the lighting model that failed to account for important scattering events. Basically, with real-time particle models, you can take into account extinction and 0- or single-scattering events so you get the main features of a cloud, but you lack the general "denseness" and solid-feeling of cumuli and cumulo-nimbi clouds.
The combination of absorption and scattering is called the extinction. The amount of extinction suffered by light over a distance is given by \sigma_t = \sigma_a + \sigma_s, the extinction coefficient.
Extinction is one of the 2 results that come out of the ray-marching process. As light's extinction will slightly vary with wavelength, it's visually important to store the extinction factor as a RGB vector. But it's still quite acceptable to store extinction as a single luminance factor as we will see below when we will combine extinction and in-scattering.
L_i(x^\prime,\vec\omega) is what I call the incoming irradiance which is the contribution of radiances from all directions about x^\prime that get somehow reflected in the view direction \vec\omega, the probability of such reflection is given by the phase function that we will describe later.
In-Scattering is the second one of the 2 results that come out of the ray-marching process. Although extinction is only slightly affected by wavelength and could well be stored as a single factor, in-scattering on the other hand strictly needs to be stored as a RGB vector (that is, if you want your sky to be blue by day and orange at sunset) (who knows ? That might come handy).
As I said earlier : it's quite okay to discard the RGB nature of extinction and store it as a single luminance factor. If you do so, you end up with a RGB vector of in-scattered energy and a single value for extinction that you can store in Alpha.
NOTE : Notice that in-scattering has already been multiplied by extinction during ray-marching so it would be plain wrong to multiply it again afterward by (1-Extinction) so this is not the same as using the standard alpha blend mode !
Well, if you can read, they're not that mysterious... The first 2 retrieve the extinction/scattering coefficients at a given position. If you modeled your clouds from a density function \rho(x,y,z) then :
Anyway, the important point here is that to evaluate L_i(x,\vec\omega) you need to know L(x,\vec\omega^\prime) in all directions \vec\omega^\prime arriving at x. And we saw earlier that to compute radiance L(x,\vec\omega^\prime), you need to integrate (i.e. ray-march) through the cloud...
HINT: If you decide to somehow use a low frequency encoding for cloud radiance, like Spherical Harmonics or SRBF for example, it's ill advised to include the strong forward peak in the encoding. Indeed, it's far better to encode 50% of the energy, scattered by the Watoo phase function with its beak cut off (i.e. general, "isotropic" scattering). Then you can add the remaining 50% strong-forward energy through standard directional lighting and (extinction + 0- and single-scattering) through the cloud.
