DeepSouth (www.westernsydney.edu.au)

A supercomputer capable of mimicking the human brain is set to be activated in 2024. The DeepSouth system, developed by researchers at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, uses spiking neural networks to efficiently emulate large networks of neurons, rivaling the rate of operations in the human brain. This...

Slappula,

I’m from the Deep South, so I can say this - the name scares me!

Slappula,

I did one of the missions and ‘killed’ a couple of robots. The UC folks tell at you but then give you another chance.

Slappula,

I did the same and went to an independently owned pharmacy. It’s been great. The only downside is no Sunday hours and a half day Saturday but that’s not a deal breaker.

Slappula,

www.bluesnews.com

Blue’s News has been around for a long time. I’ve always found that it provides good, general video game coverage.

Slappula,

So excited! I love Wilford Brimley!

Slappula,

Memento. But first I’d tattoo “Don’t trust ‘Memento’” on my stomach.

Slappula,

Looks like it might have been Games with Gold (not Gamepass). I couldn’t find it on GP but it was GwG last year.

Slappula,

There’s also a big problem with North Carolina’s laws regarding the maintenance of roads. I’m not 100% sure this is the case, but I’d be willing to bet it is. Most other states require developers to get the road certified and adopted by the State Department of Transportation before any homes are sold. In NC, the developer can do this afterward (and they sometimes don’t do it at all). Our neighborhood association found this out the hard way. Over ten years after the first house was sold, we called the DOT for a road repair and were told that our road wasn’t covered. It was because of one form that wasn’t filled out and filed with the State. The crazy thing is that the road is considered a public road (you can’t treat it as private) and the state will not maintain it until you get it certified. If your road has degraded in that time, then you have to pay to get it back up to near-new quality before they will take it over.

Now imagine that instead of just a road to repair, it’s also a road and a bridge. Is the HOA going to be able to raise the money to pay for a bridge repair? Pay for a proper barrier? This type of basic infrastructure should be handled by the state government.

Side political rant- a bill to change these laws has been in committee for years. I don’t think it has ever made it to a vote.

Slappula,

I like Unraid for the server operating system. It is a paid product but very easy to use. You can run all of the ‘arr’ apps in docker. The docker installs are done from their Community Apps store.

Slappula,

Narcissists don’t like being held to any standard.

Slappula,

Are you 100% sure? I thought we didn’t have one and it turned out to be in the kitchen pantry behind a plastic shield. I had looked for it with a plumber when we originally bought the house. Years later another plumber told us we had to have one because of code (in my state in the USA) and since the house was fairly new (less than 20 years old).

Slappula,

It’s comments like these where I instinctively try to give a Reddit award.

Slappula,

Agreed! I meant at as a compliment to the comment (not an endorsement of Reddit). Not sure that was understood.

Slappula,

Nice - “Removed the version number that was below the minimap.”

Dolly Parton at the Nashville rotating restaurant (on top of the Sheraton in the 90s). I was having dinner with a friend and just getting to know her better. She was explaining to me how she always runs into celebrities. She carried around an autograph book everywhere she went. We go to leave and Dolly is coming in. My friend gets another autograph. Dolly was very sweet and very short.

Edit: remove extra words

Slappula,

Great idea for a post!

-PDA? Yes- Handspring Visor. It was supposed to be the Palm killer (it did have some success, as I remember).

-DVD-Recorder? No

-WebTV? No, but my less tech savvy friend had one. Those seemed doomed to fail.

-3D Television? Yes- spend way to much on two pairs of glasses that were used less than five time.

-Raspberry PI? Yes, but haven’t done enough with it.

-Internet Radio Player? No

I also had some type of smart pen around 2001 that would transfer what you wrote onto the computer. I think you had to plug the top of the pen into a USB port. It was a large pen (probably the size width of 5-6 normal pens combined). I can’t find the name of it. I think you had to have a special notebook with it too.
