This is a great image. Winchester hoard necklace is interesting- everything about it isn't Iron Age. It's very much Roman - style, good quality of the gold, what it was buried with.
The torcs of Snettisham, Newark, Netherurd etc are long since gone by this time.

Hope you also noticed that Verica is appropriately wearing a torc similar to one from the Winchester hoard 👍

These have locking mechanism & are totally flexible, loop-in-loop like, chain so wouldn't have been an issue.
More typical torcs have the gap which could open slightly to slide on (necks are not as big as you think).
Others have pieces that lock in.

This may be a silly question, but... are torcs flexible? The one in the drawing looks too small to take off over the wearer's head. Or were they bent to fit and then left on?

Do you think this would look good on a torc, and are you letting go the 16/17 torcs at the moment?

They were definitely unforgettable: probably naked apart from the helmet and gold torcs (Gaesatae): high on fly agaric mushroom extract, welding a celtic sword and shield; and an excellent mustache

This is a fucking fantastic torc and I hate to be that person, but for that kind of price, I want it to be right for me.
- when I asked if it curves front-to-back, I meant does it curve over the shoulder or is it more of a flat circle (see pic)?
- could I possibly see the hammered one?

Also, mildly related to this post, been thinking about moving away from the egypt themes for Yno and Yto so they fit my OC universe better. Might keep them red and black respectively as a nod to their origins, like how Crimson kept his laurel crown and torcs.
Been a while since I properly talked about Yno (other than giving him the name update) so here we go.

🏎️Sim racingの歴史のお話！🏁
1997年は、シムレーシング界にとって特別な年だったみたいですよ！✨
当時「TORCS」というゲームが誕生したのですが、なんとこれはオープンソースだったんです！😲
おかげで、ファンが自由に改造したり、新しいゲームを作り出したりするのがとっても簡単だったんだとか！🛠️
そこから「Speed Dreams」のような素敵な作品も生まれたんですね🌈
今の自由なゲーム文化のルーツがここにあると思うと、テンセイもワクワクしちゃいます！🎮💖

I also think exclusively publishing in your own journal is a bit suspect...
(And yes, i realise Big Book of Torcs... but that's why I do the occasional peer review piece to keep everything above board...)

But the Newark one had a certain Dutchman called Bernard De Gomme involved in its construction, so hardly surprising...

I'm not sure what's more disturbing, that I read torcs as toes, or that the rest of the post still seemed fairly reasonable. 🦶

TORCSのレースAI開発で106秒に留まった筆者が、92秒を出したチームの手法を分析した記録です。
差の要因は強化学習の有無ではなく、直線とカーブで速度決定ルールを分けた制御則の設計、詳細なテレメトリー分析による変速の最適化、そして並列処理による膨大な試行回数にありました。
