MS-DOS Games → Zork (no, really!) Subject: Baseline TAS for Apple II Here's a first draft of a TAS of Zork I for Apple II. It uses revision 88 of the game, which, according to a survey by Data Driven Gamer, is "by far the most widely distributed version". The total time is 18871 frames or 5:14.52, in 258 moves.

I want to reiterate, per my earlier thread, that what the ACLU is bringing to court is a small fraction of what’s actually happening on the ground. These are only the incidents for which they have the best documentation, the ones most presentable in court.
You don’t even hear about 95% of the illegal stuff ICE is doing in MN — not in court, not on social media, certainly not on the news. This is the tip of the illegal action iceberg (pun intended, no apologies).

I think the root of the “AI” evil is when AI researchers in the 1960s recognized that they outrageously underestimated the complexity of the human mind.
They became humiliated by their promises that AGI was just a few years away—and then went full goblin mode that’s lasting to this day.
Some of the OG researchers took it quite badly that they stalled and weren’t in the limelight anymore.
‣ Marvin Minsky (co-founder of MIT AI lab and arguably the most important early AI bro) went on to visit Epstein’s island multiple times.
‣ Karl Steinbuch, who came up with the German term for computer science ("Informatik")—who also was a literal Nazi (and likely war criminal) in World War II—later wrote articles in ultra-right magazines about things like “equal rights rob women of their children”.
‣ John McCarthy (inventor of Lisp, co-authored document that coined the term “Artificial Intelligence”) was a staunch Republican who years later claimed (in a serious article) that “thermostats have beliefs”.
[one moment, I am receiving more information]
‣ There’s a second Epstein Island AI pioneer? Who also was Chief Learning Officer at… Trump University? That would be Roger Schank (founded one of the first AI companies in the 1980s AI boom, it even had an IPO. Of course the 1980s AI bubble burst).
Obviously all of the above received all the awards in computer science and are very revered people.

This has allowed me to make clear something that's been at the back of my mind. Something that is at the heart of so much blind stupidity in big tech.
It's the assumption that we will change one thing and all else will be the same.
In this case, we will fire lots and lots of employees all over the world and we will make lots of profit. We're smart enough to make the AI, and we're dumb enough to think that there will only be one consequence. 1/n

Donald Trump has been using fictional figures to justify his controversial military strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean near Venezuela.

he said in a speech Sunday.

So, I still have not updated my iPhone to v26 because I hate everything I’ve seen about the “Liquid Glass” and Apple still had a v18 update last time around.
But I expect I will be forced to upgrade since Safari with Lockdown Mode on in v18 chokes on almost every page, redrawing a couple of times before giving up. I also see this in a couple of apps which are probably just thin wrappers around Safari WebViews. Turning off lockdown mode for the site ends the problem.

When the UK's new nuclear power plant Hinkley Point C starts to produce power in 2030, its guaranteed 'strike price' will have risen to ~150 £/MWh (170 €/MWh). Average wholesale electricity prices will probably be around half of that, so that's a 50% subsidy.
At an annual production of 25 million MWh (3.2 GW in baseload), I'd say that's £1.9 billion per year in subsidies.

The past couple of weeks have shown just how far even Trump has moved to block immigration
and to demonize immigrants in his second term,
erasing the lines around people who traditionally have been seen as special cases.

was shackled by immigration agents and deported,
despite a court order saying she should not be removed from the United States.
