good adaptations of GitS:

- the first Oshii movie

- the two seasons of SAC + SSS

- this new one*

*so far

if for some reason you, random reader of this comment, decide to start watching Patlabor, be aware that there are two continuities:

1. Patlabor The Early Days (88-89, 7 OVA) -> Patlabor (89, Movie) -> Patlabor 2 (93, movie)

2. Patlabor The TV Series (89-90, 47 eps) -> Patlabor The New Files (90-92, 16 eps) -> Patlabor EZY (26-27, 3 movies)

as someone who loves Astro Boy (and everything else Tezuka made): Atom The Beginning was a disappointment. But I also believe that Pluto sucks too (some smaller stories, like the pianist, were great).

The Ghost In The Shell: Global Neural Network features one story by LRNZ. His work Geist Maschine (in italian only) is amazing.

Among the Cyberpunk 2077 comics, Big City Dreams is also very good.

- get books you want to read

- choose a time (in the evening)

1. after that time, screens become forbidden

2. read until you're sleepy

3. sleep

Out of curiosity, I checked my FB profile

my last post is from 2018, the last post I was tagged in is from 2020

6 years of nothing

whataboutism

I had a version of this for old Nokia phones (Symbian), playing via blutooth. Really fun

I can swear by anything that Lindelof does for TV

Lost, The Leftovers, Watchmen, Mrs Davis: they are all great

Can't wait for Lanterns.

(His movies career is... less good. He shines in serialized stories I guess)

you can find the sqlite dump of their database

no trackers, but the hash is enough to find seeds on dht

everything pre-2023 just works

has the whole youtube been indexed?

Oh man

My first distro was a live cd with Knoppix.

It had this game, I played so much. This, and Kobo deluxe.

So many good memories

If you want a list of common points among traditions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Points_Unifying_Therav%C...

some may be more difficult to comprehend, but it's all there

. Once they beat these tests, new ones will pop up. They'll beat those, and people will invent the next batch.

that's exactly the point! once we cannot invent the next batch (that is easy for humans to solve), that will be AGI

that's also why I much prefer the HDI (Human Development Index), it tracks more meaningful metrics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index

If we include tasks in the physical world, yes we are.

for abstract tasks (like ARC-AGI), who knows?

the ARC definition is the one I like the best, something like:

"it is AGI when we can no longer come up with tasks easy for humans to solve but hard for computers"

I feel like I could've wrote this word-for-word.

good job! I tried with a image of a Uniqlo t-shirt and it worked great

TMDB is the best metadata provider for my home media server, they just have everything.

Two great features are: season names and episode groups. The other day there was a thread about Babylon 5, where seasons have names and the watching order is different from the airing order. Perfect application of both

I just wish Library of America published the Earthsea books

Ikea is great, though

time to re-read Cryptonomicon and all the "if I decrypt this message and act on it, they will know that I decrypted it and change the code"

My current setup, maybe to inspire someone or to get suggestions:

- server: my laptop. I manually download everything.

- clients: everything in LAN with a browser, plus Jellyfin android client.

- typical use: open android app, cast to big tv, watch on big tv.

next planned steps:

- move the server to a minicomputer. Still download everything manually from the laptop to the server

- convince myself it's time to use the *arr programs

- once Jellyfin has a Tizen client, ditch the android app + chromecast for good
