30% more time to know exactly where to board up etc. seems very significant

Amusingly, however - IBM did produce - or worked on - a Laptop AS/400, based on PowerPC for purely internal use. I believe it was designed for sales/marketing types to take on the …

I think the article is a lot more interesting than you make out, because it isn’t really about ‘what we mean by reasoning’. It’s about do we really know what’s going on in the box …

Annoying article in that sentence 2 mentions temperature control and that’s the last mention

I’m going to submit this to Mirsky’s Worst of the Web.

You obviously never read doctors notes in the 70s. Black humour was de rigeur

Marvin Minksky's AI lecture series FTW

In Our Time. Is always fascinating and always puts be to sleep - I have to consume it in 10 minute nightly chunks

You include it but with no mention of it. Allow recoding to be activated with an obscure undocumented button push. Leave a subtle hong somewhere that someone clever can find out. W…

My LG one has had smomething like that - a coupkle of years old. Seems quite nifty though - it tumbles the load dry for a while and alledgely uses the patterm of weight shift to de…

You’re familiar with the walking competition?
