Highlander (1986). The swords shoot sparks, and everybody has the wrong accent in this MTV Song of Roland. Hollywood doesn't believe in magic or cocaine hard enough to make 'em like this anymore.

Chess is hard for humans, but not for computers.
One day, it will be fully solved like checkers.
Between now and then, or even after, have fun.
People enjoy many games/sports where machines are vastly betterThere are more possible chess games, by about 40 orders of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.

the world needs more guinea pig cartographers
A guinea pig cartographer works amongst his maps, using his instruments, with a quill and ink next to him on a wooden table; he looks at the viewer obliquely with a black background in a style that is reminiscent of early modern portraiture. The artist enjoys exploring the histories of art through homages to previous paintings in his whimsical works.

THREAD. 3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022
As you can see here, right from the very first day he entered our house, Jim found great difficulty in getting settled and making the environment his own.

I don’t know what to tell you, man. I’m a medieval historian, and, in my field, if you don’t check your sources (and your sources’ sources) you are just asking to be taken for a ride by some bored 19th C. aristocratic English antiquarian with a penchant for inventing history.

Cover art for the 2025 special edition of Howl's Moving Castle published by Greenwillow Books (HarperCollins). Features Sophie and Howl standing in a flower field beneath a grassy hill. Sophie wears a pink dress and has a glowing staff that sparks magic. She has red hair and a soft smile. Howl clutches his chest which also sparks magic. He holds a guitar and wears a red coat with trailing coat trails. The moving castle stomps along the top of the hill in front of a sunset sky with magical blue smoke drifting behind it.
