Why python? I don't really know much python, but I am a programmer (use Ruby, it's well better, and your Mac already has it installed), so I could probably knock something together. How would a sentence generator work? Would it need to be grammatically correct? You could do something like...

Surely the highlight is him in a bear suit punching some woman in the face. Or "Killing me won't bring back your goddamn honey!".

To put it in trolling terms, I think the problem is that intrinsically, "u mad". Which is a huge impediment to high-level achievement in the field. A certain detachment is required, personal opinions can't come into it. It's very zen really.

Think this makes a lot more sense than most of the trad. wobble really. If your sole aim to bang it out as hard as possible why not do it at 170+bpm with loads of drums as well as the LFOs?

Finally, the reason computers don't win constantly at bridge / poker etc is because of the hidden information. Can't brute force optimal plays nearly as well when you don't know what your opponent has.

I've played that Mancala game as well, though the one my mate had used glass beads not seeds. I wasn't great at that either. Completely trivial for a computer though, there's only n possible moves per go, where n is the number of pits on each side, so 6 - 10.

We did some stuff on the differences between Go and Chess in my degree (AI and Computer Science). It's pretty much the number of possible moves leading to huge probability trees as other people have mentioned. Probably as a result of this, the way humans deal with the two problems varies quite a...

Haha I was at that night, it was well good. The jungle was definitely the highlight, contained one of my finest crowd reloads of all time, The Licence (Krome & Time Remix). Some good memories. Ok, back to the pessimism.

Or are Venom and Damage 'proper' funky now? I can't keep up.

If everything goes according to plan then the date is known yeah, but it's 2140 and to be honest I think there's likely to be a fair few bumps in the road between now and then. If nothing else, the nae oil apocalypse could increase the (quite substantial, and constantly increasing) electricity...

Actually the bitcoin site has a page explaining why (they think) the deflation caused by the every increasing difficulty of generation them isn't going to be a problem. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deflationary_spiral "Elaborate controls to make sure that currency is not produced in greater...

That depends on what you mean by fail. If it becomes popular enough to warrant banning, then I think it should be able to carry on quite merrily afterwards. Past attempts to kill off P2P exchange of data representing illegal things haven't exactly been a blinding success have they? There's a...

Well that's sort of my point. There's a Totnes alternative currency as well I believe, and the government is clamping down on these things because they are basically no big deal. I suspect bitcoin will also remain not a big deal and therefore be fine. I'm not doubting that they would take action...

A quick summary of my last month or so's Hip-Hop listening. Covert Coup is good, maybe as good as Corpsey says, but the best bits are all when Curren$y isn't rapping. If I listen to the whole thing then I build up quite a lot of good will towards the guy, because he does utter phonemes in quite...

I also liked that list of dreams page, which lists loads "notable" dreams, mainly people having dreams that led to them inventing / discovering stuff. Then right in the middle of them it mentions that Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream involving former slaves and slaveowners meeting at the table...

"The conflicts, in which vendors raided one another's vans and fired shotguns into one another's windscreens, were more violent than might typically be expected between ice-cream salesmen." Deadpan contributors to wikipedia we salute you.

I did some reading around these a few weeks ago, around about the time there were various hysterical proclamations of how it would be completely illegal within the year and/or bring about the collapse of governments and their banking overlords etc etc. It's tinfoil hat internet libertarian...

good gifs tho

I've added Taste of India (their website is astonishing by the way). Can't seem to find Sur Tai Garden though.
