    Books Thread

    I first read The Holy blood and the Holy grail by accident. I found the book on a train while backpacking around europe in my 20's. Anyway if your into Templar lore you might like this. If you have seen the movie with Tom Hanks The Da Vinci Code its basically following the books general outline.
  2. That (I think) is part of the problem. "We" think we are playing chess.....the AI is playing something much bigger...like Dungeons and Dragons.
  3. I saw this yesterday (Japan time).....wow.....its learning stuff we didn't expect...this is the scary part! And this is just a glorified chatbot...how will real general AI go
  4. If they INSIST on playing xmas music everywhere I go (supermarket, dollar store, restaurant) can they at least play something like this? You've never heard Rudolf The Red Nose sound better as a death metal track
  5. wow...I haven't used an ftp site in years....I didn't realize modern browsers don't work.....ah Netscape....where did you go EDIT: So for nostalgia purposes and just general procrastination. I downloaded an ftp client and looked around ftp.oldskool.org......now I remember when searching for and downloading stuff took hours
  6. A bunker as seen in the recent movie Leave the world Behind
  7. Damn I'd walk 100 miles for a proper fish'n'chip shop. With dimmies and pickled onions
  8. Hi backatcha Im fond of saying "hells teeth" (and much worse things sometimes) Never heard satan's kittens though.....nice
  9. Almost finished season 2 EDIT: I JUST managed to get to the end of season 2.....what a crock of ....schweppes.
  10. Been watching See Total rubbish idea but interesting at same time

    12 Dec. 2023 Betelgeuse eclipse by asteroid This looks interesting...if you got a spare moment and are into this kinda thing https://www.virtualtelescope.eu/2023/12/04/the-extremely-rare-betelgeuse-occultation-by-asteroid-319-leona-online-event-12-dec-2023/
  12. Full disclosure...I wear a bicycle helmet that looks like a floppy fishing hat
  13. Fallout the TV drama!?!?! OMG Omg omg
  14. I bought Paul's Boutique on a whim (as a vinyl LP ) I thought BB's stuff was mostly junk...but a few gems. They have since grown on me Beastie Boys - Sabotage
  15. He said Half Life 2.......But I agree Black Mesa was a great rerun. I hope they do the same for HL2 and Blueshift.
  16. Rat temple I could probably tolerate.....the Snake temple is just a big NOPE Nope nope!
  17. I first heard this watching the movie Hideous Kinky staring Kate Winslet The melancholy and guitar picking just stuck with me Nick Drake - The Road
  18. Good music for trippin Naked Lunch soundtrack
  19. I don't really know much about this band...except their music and music videos were really trippy! Primus - Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
  20. Ai is both the most fascinating mind blowing technical marvel and most terrifying thing I have ever seen. I can only imagine what it would be like to meet an alien, both intriguing and fearful (assuming its ET and not Predator). Fear of the unknown is hardwired into human psyche for a reason. Yes I agree we as a species shouldn't be afraid to try new things....but the AI alien I'm looking at just has my head saying Nope nope nope!
  21. I also swear by LM. On my Legion and AW17 both have had the best temps with LM. Almost any other paste is OK, even satisfactory. But for pushing limits LM all the way. My laptops are pretty much desk bound...not being transported much at all.
