hey guys my name is Steven Beecham Krave is back for season three so let's see what's happening this week on that's crazy the restaurant in China is offering free meals to the 50 most attractive diners the restaurant is trying to promote itself as a place where healthy people can go to eat so each day customers are evaluated by a panel of local plastic surgeons who make the call whether or not you pay for your food that day based on a digital scan of your face the Jeju Island restaurant a Korean eatery in the Chinese city of Xing xao was made popular when someone outraged by the promotion tweeted about it along with photos helping to spread the word about the plastic policies as the cuteness of your cute puppy worn off then traded in with puppy swap for a brand new shiny and forever cute replacement puppy sounds like a good evil idea right exactly puppy swap dot CA is an ironic website launched by the Toronto Humane Society to highlight the sad fact that each year thousands of dogs are turned into shelters by people who simply don't have the humanity in them to keep a pet long term for some folks dogs are just a fashion statement which is above it the site looks like legit site but when you click on the sign up button a recorded message says puppy swap isn't real unfortunately pet abandonment is over 180,000 animals enter Canadian shelters each year 40 percent will never leave spread the word pet ownership is for life last week's super entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted his plans to move forward with building a prototype Hyperloop track for testing in 2013 musk made headlines when he released his plans to the public on how to build a Hyperloop high-speed tube transport that would connect Los Angeles and San Francisco he just put the plans out there to the world and said if you build it they will come and then silence well on January 15th musk ended that silence tweeting we'll be building a Hyperloop test track for companies and student teams to test out their pods most likely in Texas the Hyperloop track would be able to propel passengers via personal pods up to speeds of 800 miles per hour faster than the speed of sound it is estimated to cost roughly 10 million dollars per 400 miles of Hyperloop track a team of researchers at the University of Tuebingen in Germany have given Super Mario awareness and now he knows that he is a Goomba killer by programming AI into Nintendo's Super Mario advanced players of the game are able to speak commands to Mario who will respond based on emotions and experiences he is encountered within the game Mario how do you feel I feel a big load the program uses Carnegie Mellon speech recognition toolkit so Mario can understand spoken language mario has a range of possible actions he can take based on what he has learned for example Mario does not know that jumping on a Goomba will destroy it until he has been told this piece of information where if you tell him to simply find an enemy he will seek out the nearest moving soul and kill it on his own afterwards Mario will think about what has just happened and figure out that jumping on a Goomba will certainly kill it it sounds kind of sad but that's real life sometimes a Mario how I feel let's hop it Mario can act according to how he feels at any given time when he is hungry he will collect coins when he is curious he will explore his environment autonomously but the most impressive aspect of this experiment for me is that Mario will learn the ability to reach difficult locations in the game by pre calculating how many jumps he needs to make how high and in which direction guys show thank you very much for watching as always you can find all these news stories at CNET's Craig blog on crave Dakshina calm make sure you follow creative on twitter at crave and check out crepes lists the top 25 worst passwords of 2014 let's hope your password is not on this list rotated I'm going to have the pork there and cut your steak without
