Quotes About Simulation

On the RFactor model that comes with the 'Pro-Sim,' everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you're on a race weekend.

The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.

Obviously, if you are playing against a guy who is known for an up-tempo offense, you'll probably tailor your practice a little bit to say, 'Hey, let's get a couple of fast-paced plays back to back to back to try to simulate that.'

Surgeons scan patient parts and print models of them, to practice on before operating in earnest.

We used these rifles in field exercises to simulate a lot of deadlier and nastier aimed weapons, too.

Perhaps I am the only being in the entire universe who feels anything, and all other humans and animals are just mindless robots? Perhaps I am dreaming, and everyone I meet is just a character in my dream? Perhaps I am trapped inside a virtual world, and all the beings I see are merely simulations?

A mind is a simulation that simulates itself.

To understand a program, you must become both the machine and the program.

Drills held weekly. All illusions are interactive, but unable to harm you! However, in the event of an emergency, yell Goldilocks, and the battle will stop immediately.* *Students who end Professor Harlow's simulation do so at their own risk.

Students who end Professor Harlow's simulation do so at their own risk.

I breathed enough to learn the trick, And now, removed from air, I simulate the breath so well, That one, to be quite sure The lungs are stirless, must descend Among the cunning cells, And touch the pantomime himself. How cool the bellows feels!

Weightlessness was unbelievable. It's physical euphoria: Nothing about you has any weight. You don't realize that you are weighed down all the time by yourself, and your organs, and your head. Your arms weigh down your shoulders. In space simulation, you get to fly like Superman! You're hanging in the air! It's the coolest thing.

I'm really good at pretending.

The most used program in computers and education is PowerPoint. What are you learning about the nature of the medium by knowing how do to a great PowerPoint presentation? Nothing. It certainly doesn't teach you how to think critically about living in a culture of simulation.

I don't do any sim at home or whatever. If I do, it's with the team, which is a proper preparation for me.

THE CONE OF LEARNING Edgar Dale gets credit for helping us to understand that we learn best through action—doing the real thing or a simulation. Sometimes it's called experiential learning. Dale and his Cone of Learning tell us that reading and lecture are the least effective ways to learn. And yet we all know how most schools teach: reading and lecture.

The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.

There is something irreversible about acquiring knowledge; and the simulation of the search for it differs in a most profound way from the reality.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of how to get machines to do the things they do in the movies.

In AR, a falling tree makes no sound unless there is a witness to behold the event. Otherwise, it is only a changing pattern in a complex data-stream.

Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society.

You can do anything when it's not real.

Unlike in simulations, reality bled.

If you play a video game on your computer, such as "Doom" or "Uncharted", you see compelling 3D worlds with 3D objects. Yet the information is entirely 2D, limited by the number of pixels on the screen. The same is true when you look away from your computer to the world around you. It too has pixels, and all the information is 2D.
