$38,912,465

That's how much the 1993 Mario Brothers movie grossed worldwide. Really pause and think about that.

Let that sink in.

The mario brothers movie made $7,000,000 more than this, in 90s money. One of the greatest disappointments in movie history, which has a cult following for its level of fail, outperformed Borderlands.

That is the orbital nuke of fails.

Badger on the left just saw his healthcare bill. Badger on the right ate some bad beans and is contemplating the nature of regret.

Spherical geometry - good times...

Yep, it's a triangle. You can also make one with three right angles on a sphere!

Oh I definitely believe they won't make a wise decision - these past few years have been devastating when it comes to decisions.

Come visit academia some time... Copyright laws ensure we do all the work and get nothing in return;)

I rather think the point is being missed here. Copyright is already causing huge issues, such as the troubles faced by the internet archive, and the fact academics get nothing from their work.

Surely the argument here is that copyright law needs to change, as it acts as a barrier to education and human expression. Not, however, just for AI, but as a whole.

Copyright law needs to move with the times, as all laws do.

Ah, I see we're burning the Library of Alexandria again... Just as with last time, the survival of texts will rely upon copies.

I dunno about a fun game to play, but it's a really neat way to explore Markov chains!

So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.

I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.

It's an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.
