Steam store to sell VR porn video games in 'jaw-dropping' decision
The Steam gaming platform will allow video games containing virtual reality porn and other controversial content, in an abrupt reversal of policy. Valve, which owns the popular online video game store, came under fire recently after a video game billed as a "school shooting simulation" appeared on the platform. Parents of school shooting victims objected to the Active Shooter game and an online petition received more than 200,000 signatures to have it removed. Valve eventually pulled the game but says it now wants to avoid engaging in debates of how it should police its platform. "The harsh reality of this space, that lies at the root of our dilemma, is that there is absolutely no way we can navigate it without making some of our players really mad," Valve's Erik Johnson said in a post to the Steam Store on Wednesday, 6 June.
Learning Path: Scala: Efficient Data Analysis with Scala
Data analysis is a process for inspecting, consolidating, transforming, and making sense of data in a way that guides the decision-making process. Scala has emerged as an important tool for efficiently performing various data analysis tasks. So, if you're interested to load raw datasets with Spark, and perform exploratory data analysis on those via plotting Scala libraries, then go for this Learning Path. Packt's Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. Let's take a quick look at your learning journey.
AI Has Already Started Reshaping Special Education
AI is especially influential for children who need special education. These children mostly have one type of learning disability, so they have some impairments in social skills like language and communication or they have trouble in reading, writing and math. Having all this in mind, it is obvious that the traditional one-size-fits-all approach is not applicable for children taking special education. More specifically, for example, autism is a spectrum which children with autism are so different from each other in their impairments and social skills. Because of their uniqueness, education that they take should be different from each other to be effective.
Medical Neuroscience Coursera
Medical Neuroscience explores the functional organization and neurophysiology of the human central nervous system, while providing a neurobiological framework for understanding human behavior. In this course, you will discover the organization of the neural systems in the brain and spinal cord that mediate sensation, motivate bodily action, and integrate sensorimotor signals with memory, emotion and related faculties of cognition. The overall goal of this course is to provide the foundation for understanding the impairments of sensation, action and cognition that accompany injury, disease or dysfunction in the central nervous system. The course will build upon knowledge acquired through prior studies of cell and molecular biology, general physiology and human anatomy, as we focus primarily on the central nervous system. This online course is designed to include all of the core concepts in neurophysiology and clinical neuroanatomy that would be presented in most first-year neuroscience courses in schools of medicine.
Learn Design Patterns Through Python in Simple Way
Subtitles are available for Introduction, Case Study and Design Patterns Concepts. Design and architecture of any software/solution provides the base and makes it flexible, extensible for future requirements. A good designed software/solution makes it easy to understand and maintain. Design patterns are known as best practices to design software for problems which are repeated in nature. This course "Design Patterns Through Python" gives you understanding of all 23 patterns described in Gang Of Four book - "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software", by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides.
Four Robots to work in School
Skรถvde is a municipality in central Sweden. When the pupils in four of their primary schools come back after the summer holidays a new educational assistant will meet up. Since the municipality has bought four robots to the schools. The aim is that the robots will assist in class in different ways, e.g. to help pupils that are lagging behind. The pioneering efforts to include robot assistants in education is triggered by Skรถvde University College with front-line research and development within a range of technologies, like artificial intelligence and cognitive and interactive systems.
Python Game Development : Build 11 Total Games
Have you ever wanted to build a games with a graphical interface but didn't know how to? May be you even know how to create tools on a command line but have no idea how to convert it into a graphical interface that people can click on. In this course we will be learning Python GUI Programming Turtle other advanced python modules to build graphical user interfaces (GUI) and games from scratch. We will learn from basics of Python i.e. variables, slicing, string, some module, arithmetic and logical operations, looping, functions, object oriented programming. After that we will learn the basics stuff of Pygame and OpenGL and Blender basics stuff.
Ganesh Bell, President, Uptake, Digital Industrial Transformation (video)
Ganesh Bell, President, Uptake Stanford Graduate School of Business video above published May 24, 2018: Uptake (domain: uptake.com) is supplying software for the infrastructure that powers the world, said Uptake President, Ganesh Bell. The company is shaping a whole new technical stack for the digital industrial transformation. "Industrial companies previously operated with data that was predicated on physics-based analytics. But now machine learning and cloud technologies can really provide truly predictive analytics in ways which previously could not be done." During his visit to the Systems Leadership class on May 17, 2018, Bell discussed with Lecturer Robert Siegel how Uptake is developing software to work with industrial companies to deliver better customer outcomes.
