  1. TV Review: Mrs. Davis

    ★★★★★ A friendly world-dominating AI vs. a surly nun. A tale of our dependence on technology and the lengths people will go to feel appreciated, wrapped in the weirdest take on the Holy Grail I’ve ever seen. Seriously absurd, and occasionally absurdly serious.

  2. Oh, the timeless quest for the Holy Grail of programming languages 🏆. But wait! Turns out, all roads lead to the same excruciatingly mundane loops and arrays! 🤯 Who knew that the real secret was just... starting? 😂

  7. So, I haven’t posted in a while. And I likely still won’t too much. Still working on organizing my collection and working on how to best display everything.

    But I just had to share that I just won the auction of one of my #holygrail . A Sharp #x68000 XVI. Fully recapped with new PSU and everything else I’d want with it (except mouse :eyes_tl: ). So extremely excited for it to arrive.

  8. when i don’t understand something, i go to my faith and call it a demon. soon we’ll be weighing people against ducks. #jdvance #holygrail

  9. Of course I'm french. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent!

    Now go away or I will taunt you a second time!

  10. Ok so no one in my immediate fediverse has talked about #FateZero and that gets me angry.

    Watch it. Focus on Kiritsugu’s story and let’s talk. #holygrail

  11. Inside the old church where one trillion webpages are stored – CNN Business

    Inside the old church where one trillion webpages are being saved

    By Hadas Gold, Updated 23 hr ago

    See inside the old San Francisco church that houses nearly all of the internet’s history…

    San Francisco  —  Just blocks from the Presidio of San Francisco, the national park at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, stands a gleaming white building, its façade adorned with eight striking gothic columns.

    But what was once the home of a Christian Scientist church, is now the holy grail of Internet history — the Internet Archive, a non-profit library run by a group of software engineers and librarians, who for nearly 30 years have been saving the web one page at a time.

    Inside the stained-glass-adorned sanctuary, the sounds of church sermons have been replaced by the hum of servers, where the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine preserves web pages.

    The Wayback Machine, a tool used by millions every day, has proven critical for academics and journalists searching for historical information on what corporations, people and governments have published online in the past, long after their websites have been updated or changed.

    For many, the Wayback Machine is like a living history of the internet, and it just logged its trillionth page last month.

    Archiving the web is more important and more challenging than ever before. The White House in January ordered vast amounts of government webpages to be taken down. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is blurring the line between what’s real and what’s artificially generated — in some ways replacing the need to visit websites entirely. And more of the internet is now hidden behind paywalls or tucked in conversations with AI chatbots.

    It’s the Internet Archive’s job to figure out how to preserve it all.

    The Internet Archive also preserves music, television, newspapers, videogames and books, which archivists digitize page by page using bespoke machines. CNN

    “We are here to try to provide a record of what happened, so that people can learn and build on that to build a better future, or to build new ideas that are worthy of being in the (Internet Archive’s) library,” said Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle.

    The internet’s library

    Kahle created the archive in 1996 when a year’s worth of saved pages could fit on about 2 terabytes worth of hard drives, the amount of storage you can get today in an iPhone. Now, the archive is saving closer to 150 terabytes, or hundreds of millions worth of web pages, per day.

    Kahle is the driving force and personality behind the archive, with the exuberance and energy of your favorite science teacher and like an evangelist whose religion is libraries and technology. Sitting for an interview on the original wooden pews of the church, Kahle said he was inspired to purchase the building because it resembles the group’s logo. But more importantly, he said it’s a symbol of permanence and a reference to the Library of Alexandria in Egypt.

    “That was the first time somebody tried to go and collect everything ever written by humans,” Kahle said. “Of course, now that place is the internet, and the Internet Archive serves the whole internet as a library.”

    The Wayback Machine tool does more than just screenshot the page. It also saves the technical architecture — the HTML, CSS, JavaScript codes and more — so that it can attempt to “replay the page as it existed” even if the server is no longer functioning, said Wayback Machine Director Mark Graham.

    The rise of artificial intelligence and AI chatbots means the Internet Archive is changing how it records the history of the internet. In addition to web pages, the Internet Archive now captures AI-generated content, like ChatGPT answers and those summaries that appear at the top of Google search results.

    But, we also have the race to find the - that for AI is AGI.

    The premise is simple: The game is over then - The one getting first will rule the world.

    That has roped world politics into the mess, especially between USA and China.

    Thus, we have a perfect storm fueled by tech companies and bad leaders in cahoot, who don't care about anything else than not letting the other side getting there first.

    Our only hope is that this burst as soon as possible.

  20. It is a year since I unexpectedly saw the Holy Grail. It turns out that either reporting of the Matter of Britain has not been entirely accurate over the years, or Valencia Cathedral is the castle of Corbenic.

  21. So, just to make sure I get this right...

    There's a senile codger who sits at home at night, alone with his grievances, no friends, a wife that detests him and refuses to be in the same room with him. He stews and stares at the TV, flipping around hoping to find people saying nice things about him.

    Then, possibly triggered by whatever he sees on TV, or perhaps thermal noise in his degrading neurons, he comes up with some random, crazy thing, and he posts it to social media.

    And then the US cabinet jumps up and says "Yes sir, what a great idea sir, we're on it sir".

    Do I have that right?

    I think others are correct. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords would be a *much* better basis for a system of government.

  26. 🤔 Apparently, the Internet Archive is the new Holy Grail 🏆 of history, but instead of knights, we have nerds wielding Z80s. 🤓 Meanwhile, web pages vanish faster than your New Year's resolutions. 🕰️ But don't worry, because some people think saving digital junk is like saving mankind. 🙄

  27. Oh, joy. Lee Zeldin the new EPA head:

    "I've been told the Endangerment Finding is considered the Holy Grail of the Climate Change religion. For me, the US Constitution, and the laws of this nation will be strictly interpreted and followed. No exceptions".

    To start with, how are the two sentences linked?

    "I have been told that a wooden cup, that used to be in a gilded metal box along with the shin bone of St Benedict, found in a field in Berkshire, is the Holy Grail of the Christian religion. For me, the US Constitution, and the laws of this nation will be strictly interpreted and followed. No exceptions".

    Also, the snivelly little arse-nugget knows full well that Climate Change is a real, scientific fact, that people can see, smell, touch and taste but for now he's rich, and he will be dead in 30 years, so he doesn't give a toss when he kills potentially millions of people.

    This takes us back to the whole idea that political decision-makers in his position who are deliberately spreading and trading in lies they know will kill people, should be charged with 2nd-degree murder for their deliberate actions.

  32. AI is only as good as the data it is trained on. If these data reflect existing biases, AI can perpetuate and even amplify societal injustices.
