Algobox Gets Facebook! Twitter Too!

Before you try to program it, try to understand it first. This would need way more than giving a computer a survey of good and bad scenes. It has to "think" like a human. It would only be possible once computers know how to judge things qualitatively. It has to know how it plays, it has to know if it's fun. With the methods you're proposing, it won't work.

A computer can't fully rate a video game.

It would only be possible once computers know how to judge things qualitatively.

It can do anything a much larger computer can, given enough time and memory.

I win.

We're talking about now.

AFAIK, nobody has successfully made that before.

With the methods you're proposing, it won't work.

And stop using that self-proclaimed "argument stopper". It's obnoxious and it makes you sound like an asshole. Just say it straight that you don't want to add anything more.

Until computers become emotive, it is impossible to make one judge a good scene.

[Someone Else]

Ah, but when computers become emotive, does that not lead to BIAS?

Wikipedia is failing on me, but I am basically certain that modern computers (including Babbage's Analytical Engines) were/are Turing complete. I think that a Turing complete machine, with infinite time and memory, can simulate any computer in existance.

Thus,

It would only be possible once computers know how to judge things qualitatively.

It can do anything a much larger computer can, given enough time and memory.

We're talking about now.

is a terrible argument.

Heck, davidz40's Super Fast Phun Computer could do it. With enough time and added memory.

[Chronos]

with infinite time and memory

Nope. Nu-uh. No way.

Also, sure, just ignore my huge post I spent so long writing.

[Someone Else]

For the record, everyone agrees that SOMETIME, computers will achieve sentience, right?

And this is way, way off-topic...

Damn it, stop ignoring things. That's the f'n point. It may be possible that a computer can judge qualitatively, but not with the methods you're proposing. So far, no one has found the correct way to do that yet hence, "We're talking about now."
Also,

I win.

See how asshole-y it sounds.

Haha, you fail.

[RicH]

WTH are you talking about? ohohohoh.

You edited it, duh.

Also, Emanuel, can you add a feature to disable the tweet/facebook function? Like how you can disable comments and ratings?

Yeah I could, but the database would have to be extended with another column, which isn't that hard to do, but the scenes table is already a bit too large (i.e. slow).
I also don't see the need to disable Like and Tweet since they can't provide any direct negative feedback to the user (as with comments and ratings).

But thank you for your suggestion!

Really now? How could you have known that?! That is impossible!

[Someone Else]

ALLRIGHT, BACK ON TOPIC.

I cannot be certain, but I think the Facebook and Twitter buttons just give you a shortcut of saying "I like this scene" on Facebook, or a shortcut to tweet about the scene.

Really, it would be tough for some random person to use these to directly tell you that "your scene is bad you should feel bad" because it opens to complete and utter nothing.

Also, maybe they should make the Preview button in the forum a bit more obvious.

Bump, algobox now has Google+, just incase nobody noticed.

Bump, algobox now has Google+, just incase nobody noticed.

Why? There's only like, five people here (if even) who have Google+.

[Nxdt]

Yeah i know it is pointless, it isn't even fully operational in the UK yet "limited field trial" but i probably will get a account as soon as it is online.

Actually, I think you only need a Google Profile, but I'm not sure how that differs from Google+, anyway Google Profile seems to be open for anyone. I believe Google+ is still invite only.

Anyone without Google+, but with gmail, that feel like trying to press the +1 button?

[Nxdt]

I have a gmail account i'll give it a try

edit; It works and appears on my google profile, i don't have google plus since its still invite only and it comes up in my +1 section.

Scene i +1'd; http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/details.php?id=56398

Would you like a screenshot, it shows a thumbnail of the scene as well as a link, details on Author, group, file size, date added, rating, downloads and views in that order.

[Emanuel]

That sound exactly like it appears in Google+, thanks!
