Goblin Slayer [ Amv ] - Take Me There
Amv from another youtuber
Anime: Goblin Slayer
Lyrics
Your heart left a standing ovation in mine
And I can't let it go, let it go
If we just restart, I truly believe we could find
You were out of sight
A little bit too long
So take my hand tonight
I'm sick of moving on
Teach me how to fight
To keep you on my arm
Take my hand tonight
I know where we belong
Together our hearts
Are lighting flares
We fill the air
Just promise where ever
You are
You'll take me there
Just take me there
They say stars are a representation of time
So I will never know, never know
Why you shine so bright when you're
More than the past in my eyes
You were out of sight
A little bit too long
So take my hand tonight
I'm sick of moving on
Teach me how to fight
To keep you on my arm
Take my hand tonight
I know where we belong
Together our hearts
Are lighting flares
We fill the air
Just promise where ever
(Where ever)
You are
You'll take me there
Just take me there
The moment that our eyes meet can't speak stunned by the rhythm of that heartbeat said that we'd be up for a minute
Where ever
You are
You'll take me there
Just take me there
Together our hearts
Are lighting flares
We fill the air
Just promise where ever
(Where ever)
You are
You'll take me there
Just take me there
The moment that our eyes meet can't speak stunned by the rhythm of that heartbeat said that we'd be up for a minute
Where ever
You are
You'll take me there
Just take me there

Anime Mix - AMV - Point of No Return
Nice vid from some other youtuber.
Anime Mix Seven Deadly Sins, Hunter X Hunter, Attack on Titan
Lyrics
There's a memory of how we used to be
That I can see through the flames
I am hypnotized as I fantasize
Forgetting lies and pain
But I can't go back
The ashes call my name
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
Breaking the habit and melting the chains
Embracing the fear, chasing the fight
The glow of the fire will light up the night
The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face
Making the past an unreachable place
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
I know, this is the point of no return
It's uncontrollable
Such a beautiful desire
There's something sinister about the way it hurts
When I watch it burn
Because I can't go back
The ashes call my name
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
Breaking the habit and melting the chains
Embracing the fear, chasing the fight
The glow of the fire will light up the night
The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face
Making the past an unreachable place
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames
I know, this is the point of no return
I won't turn around

8i introduces fully volumetric 3D video
Volumetric video tech will improve with time, eventually movies and events will be recorded with such technology. It will enable people to walk around in movies, news, sports, etc. The immersion will be out of this world once screendoor free, tether(wire) free. 'retina' rez displays are available.
It won't just be VR, but AR as well. It is conceivable that homes will have a set of all around cameras at multiple location, such that Telepresence can be accomplished in both VR and AR. Thus a photoreal, visually indistinguishable from real human or humans will appear in your room, and you'll be able to walk around from all angles.

Free energy principle article link and comment
The free energy principle tries to explain how (biological) systems maintain their order (non-equilibrium steady-state) by restricting themselves to a limited number of states.[1] It says that biological systems minimise a free energy functional of their internal states, which entail beliefs about hidden states in their environment. The implicit minimisation of variational free energy is formally related to variational Bayesian methods and was originally introduced by Karl Friston as an explanation for embodied perception in neuroscience,[2] where it is also known as active inference. -wiki
In late 2017, a group led by Rosalyn Moran, a neuroscientist and engineer at King’s College London, pitted two AI players against one another in a version of the 3D shooter game Doom. The goal was to compare an agent driven by active inference to one driven by reward-maximization.The reward-based agent’s goal was to kill a monster inside the game, but the free-energy-driven agent only had to minimize surprise. The Fristonian agent started off slowly. But eventually it started to behave as if it had a model of the game, seeming to realize, for instance, that when the agent moved left the monster tended to move to the right.After a while it became clear that, even in the toy environment of the game, the reward-maximizing agent was “demonstrably less robust”; the free energy agent had learned its environment better. “It outperformed the reinforcement-learning agent because it was exploring,” -wired article
Interesting article. The comment about minimizing surprise seems like it is overall surprise with regards to the entire environment. Were it to restrict to a fraction of the environment depending on environment it may in a sense do away with surprise, or at least what most notions of surprise would refer to, exploring the environment would seem to temporally increase surprise. But if it is with regards to the entire environment, to minimize surprise it has to indeed be explored, and would only minimize through exploration. One might imagine that if one talked about the true environment, encompassing all possible information, assuming that is in the right track, extended undefined length exploration should occur given any real world environment is a subset.
Hmmm, this may relate to some human behaviors. But if we take humans to be agents and the earth to be the environment, most humans in ancient times tended to only explore a very limited portion of their environment, far smaller than they could potentially explore if they tried to maximize exploration throughout a lifetime. Humanity as a whole did end up exploring pretty much all the earth through multiple generations of explorers, but a lone human did not tend to do this.
Even in today's world humans tend to limit their exploration of the environment and there are individuals with quite preset routines that don't leave their small hometown throughout their entire lives. In the middle ages, and before, once farming was established this tended to limit explorations a far of the farmer, given he was provided with resources locally.
It does seem that the ability to reward the ability to predict as well as the ability to reward the finding of novelty, a curiosity like reward, may be present. But the existence of reinforcement like mechanisms maximizing certain reward signals, some of which may be elicited by specific sensory signals, seems to also be present.

Energy slave and the coming cliff...
Economists like to point to ingenuity, capital and labor as the drivers of economic growth.They certainly contribute, but today's economy would be vastly smaller than it is were it not for the availability of Buckminster Fuller's "energy slaves" — the fossil sunlight that we have tapped for the past three centuries in the form of fossil fuels such as coal, gas and petroleum.…We now face two huge problems as a result. One is on many people's minds: climate change, the unintended consequence of burning fossil fuels.The other is no smaller but less front and center, because people are technological optimists: The civilization constructed using fossil energy slaves may be vastly more complex and energy intensive than what annual solar income can support.…
An article on the concept of the energy slave. The energy slave, Americans have over 100 energy slaves. The world currently depends on fossil fuels to produce energy, and there is a limited production rate per year. Adding more citizens does not add more fossil energy production, energy would have to be rationed more, if U.S. population increased too much.

LAW vs TRUE LAW
Someone could become a lawyer, a very good lawyer, yet their power would be severely limited.
The laws of men, you could read them and gain dominion over them, yet even with untold mastery those disagreeing with the law if not swayed would ignore the law. Juries, judges, etc. It matters not how clearly you stated what the laws indicated, or even if flaws were found in the laws, it would all be ignored. Because the whims of men is fickle, and the bindings of the laws of men is loose.
But the true law of the world, its binding is unbreakable, there is no whim that can restrict the inevitability of the true law. Those that master the ultimate laws, the true laws of this world, wielding the truth, what they can defend and what they can defeat knows no bound. Before an immutable law governing the world, all nations and all men vow. Neither votes, nor armies can stand before the might of what is made possible by truth. A mere glimpse at the law gave the power of the atom, yet what lay deeper far surpasses this.
