Nice quote from Joshua, the epic AI in War Games, followed by “How about a nice game of chess?"

I remember it didn’t work out well for Randolph and Mortimer. Sam may pull it out, though, if he just sells the DRAM now while the market is still hot.

Nice one :D reminds me of my little project back in 2020 with a raspberry pi and a similar type of display... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25566132

Thanks for the replies - had a look and general feedback for the top two brands seems to be that the lid that holds the UV light breaks after a few months. They seem to be as effective as water purification tablets but right now the price i

Originally I was just using it to display the IP addresses after reboot on a smaller 0.96" 80x160. Then a screen shot... then zoom. I'm thinking more about some QR code with basic sysinfo.

The output of a raspberry pi is quite nice. I wonder if it's better than VNC over wi-fi.

I believe they did that for banks after the 2008 crisis, maybe it should apply more widely. But still I'm not sure it'd make a huge difference given the scale of disruption caused by a global shutdown like we're seeing as a r

Love it. Do you have the record or max theoretical distance for each challenge?
