We're getting ready to roll out another https://oepoetryfacsimile.org edition this week - this one is a combined edition of Paris Psalm 102 and the accompanying Junius 121 verses of the same.
The latter was glossed by the so-called Tremulous Hand, and provided us with a fun #paleography game. We call it "What the Heck Did TH Write This Time?!"
Give your best guess and we'll post the answer later.
#Textfiles.com is such a #bizzare blast from the #past. To a point every time I find that site again (basically #remembering it exists 😅) and read through some of the #text files. It gives a bit of #nostalgia. While some of the stuff are wayyy beyond my time I've seen references to them in forums before.
It's a nice read through perse. It got directories/categories of #ASCII art to #stories to the most fun... The #Anarchy section. Just remember anything in the anarchy section is uhhh... Don't try the stuff listed. 😂💀👀
If you have a video that conveys some information and doesn't provide any other value than conveying information, there is absolutely no reason for that video to exist. All of it could be conveyed via a blog post. Or give me a transcript. I can very easily get through a transcript of a video in less than five minutes for something that could take 30-45 minutes of my time.
"Tyler Ochoa [#law professor at Santa Clara University] said the #copyright issues with #AI#text generation are exactly the same as the issues with AI #image generation. First: is copying large amounts of [copyrighted] text or images for training the model #FairUse? The answer to that, he said, is probably yes. Second: if the model generates output that's too similar to the input…is that copyright infringement? The answer to that, he said, is almost certainly yes." https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/03/openai_chatgpt_copyright/
Very short text adventure in which you start out on an alien planet. The crash erased the star chart of your ship so it seems you'll be stuck here a while.
To make matters worse the planet's environment is very hostile and forces you to find shelter quickly. Can you get through the ten screens or so and survive your predicament?
Physicist, mathematician, and electrical engineer Hertha Ayrton was born #OTD in 1854. She conducted foundational studies of electrical arcs, as well as the dynamics of ripple formation in sand.
Portaint: Helena Arsène Darmesteter, Girton College
Her "Ayrton anti-gas fan" was ignored by the government at first, but eventually 100,000 of them were distributed to soldiers on the Western Front. They proved to be quite capable of clearing out the heavy, poison gasses used on the battlefield.
I like to listen to childhood nostalgia, and 1980s Italo Disco is among that.
There's a 1985 song by Den Harrow called Future Brain, and I always had to grin listening to the naive song text, but with the current AI developments, that song text is starting to get a new, retro-prophetic meaning.
Ein tolles #Lied, die #Ballade von Wolfgang und Brigitte, habe ich vor weiß ich wie viel Jahren zum ersten Mal gehört.
Noch immer berührt sie mich, denn sie ist einfach wunderschön.
Gestern kam mir die dazugehörige #Melodie sowie der #Text wieder ins Gedächtnis. Und heute habe ich zum ersten Mal das dazu vorhandene Musikvideo gesehen. Das unterstreicht das ganze noch.
