Looks like the game can get itself into invalid states: https://imgur.com/a/3Wktj10. Don't want to spoil this board, but there are incorrect letters accepted as green here.
* edit: just saw that oceliker ran into the same issue.
Yeah I am trying to figure this out. I have not been able to reproduce it. It should not be possible; I think the UI state is getting out of sync with the true puzzle state. It looks like you tried VIALS - do you know if you interacting pretty quickly? Using the keyboard or not? Another person reported weirdness with tiles that were supposed to be getting locked in place instead being replaceable. I wonder if the final row was merrily animating its lock into place sequence, then you typed VIALS, and it permitted those to moved, falsely locking them into place in the other word?
I was using the mouse to drag around letters, not the keyboard. It was my first time playing and I was still wrapping my head around basic game concepts, so it's unlikely that I was interacting quickly.
That's not what I got from watching the video. It looks like traffic was slow/stopped in the passing lane. You can see brake lights in front of the pink car, especially in the slowed down clip. The driver of the pink car seemed to be in the process of passing, but didn't pay attention to traffic ahead of them, and thus crashed into the SUV.
I look at the Recommended section daily, and I find it very disappointing for several reasons:
- the recommendations are very often not interesting to me because
+ they cater to the lowest common denominator (you won't believe these 10 hilarious fails, PewDiePie picks his nose, etc.)
+ I have already watched the video
+ a video has been in the Recommended section for weeks and I haven't clicked on it. What makes you think I'll change my mind after several weeks? If I don't click a video within a couple of days of it appearing in the section, it's a dud. Don't keep showing it
+ the video is from a channel I am already subscribed to. That's not a recommendation, it's trivial and not helpful
+ most or all of the videos in the section are sometimes matching the same key word. I once clicked on an Amy Schumer video, and for many days every video in the Recommended section was a Schumer video. This is terrible. The same thing happened after I clicked a Craig Ferguson video.
- the feedback UI is not streamlined. I have to click through multiple menus to be able to say: not interested in this channel
- there should be list of key words that I can specify where if the video matches one of them, don't add it to the section. Conversely, there should be a list of key words that when I specify them, the recommendation engine goes out and looks for videos matching them, and then adds some of them to the section
I love watching interesting and creative how-to videos (DiResta, Tested, etc.), but even after several years of watching them, the recommendation engine seems to not have caught on to that.
Is the deep learning approach already deployed for regular users? I have not seen a change in the quality of the recommendations.
Sorry to sound so negative, but I think this is a huge wasted opportunity. There is tons of amazing content on youtube, and it's often very hard to find.
Despite the negative connotation, I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment. I usually ignore YT's Recommended videos for the same reasons you describe.
Long time lurker, first time poster. I wrote and published a completely original puzzle game for android, got featured on google play a number of times.
