Der krönende Abschluss der FOSSGIS 2024 – die #FOSSGIS-Jeopardy! 👑
Jedes Jahr organisiert unser Kollege @cartocalypse die FOSSGIS-Jeopardy, welche jedes Jahr aufs Neue das GIS-Wissen der Teilnehmer*innen auf die Probe stellt. 🧠
So since they always call having less than $0 "in the hole" on #Jeopardy I think those contestants should be literally lowered into a hole as their score goes down. Each would stand on a platform that lowers incrementally as soon as they get below zero, so at -$500 you're in up to your knees, at -$1500 only your head is showing, etc, until you disappear at -$2000. Let's do this
Btw before you suggest raising the platform as scores go up, we've workshopped that already and there are considerable practical impediments in implementation. Taken to its conclusion the idea would radically increase jeopardy's admirably low contestant fatality rate
Emma Stone has already won an Oscar. Now she wants to take a shot as a contestant on the long-running quiz show Jeopardy, Entertainment Weekly reports. Show host Ken Jennings says they’d love to have her, but she won’t get bumped to the front of the long line of aspiring contestants. https://flip.it/AWrsdZ #Culture#Entertainment#Jeopardy#EmmaStone#GameShows
@davemark knowing Mayim Bialik my first thought was as a host though I. Not sure how that’d work. As a contestant would be interested to compare with Watson, which could be quite interesting.
#Trump is trying to establish a justification for the #dictatorial actions he's already intending to take if he wins the #2024election. These #passiveAggressive#threats are as transparent as they are #pathetic. Trump is terrified of the potential #consequences of the 91 #felony counts he's facing, and is desperately trying to weasel his way out of legal #jeopardy. Why would anyone vote for this evil sack of shit?
So, I know my opinion counts for nothing, but #Sony dismissing Mayim Bialik as a co-host of #Jeopardy is a serious error.
I have no issue with Ken Jennings. But if Jeopardy—and trivia/quizzing in general—wants a future, it needs to build a bigger tent. Mayim Bialik's presence was a very visible step in that direction. Dismissing her is a step backward.
@davemark I just tried it for a while. I won every single game, and I realized that you’re not actually playing against people. When I was playing one game, someone rang my doorbell, so I had to stop playing and answer the door. When I came back, three minutes later, the game was still waiting for me to play. So it’s just using two pseudo AI players to play against you.
