They are a very rare species here in Linz.

And he then recognized my small Asus Eee PC on my lap. So everybody’s got something of interest, I think.

Well, the WiFi hotspot here is slow, but after such a wonderful, fun filled weekend nothing really matters. :)

This face recog thingy is not really working I suppose. Or it’s really artificial intelligent and considers the context? For sure this was just coincidental, but it made my day!

In case of mercency?

Im aktuellen Pass wurde das schon korrigiert. Vielleicht gibt es das Wort ja wirklich? – Sieht nicht so aus…

I think computers are better than humans in playing chess now. So what, no fun anymore! – Let computers do some more useful things, like keeping the household or washing our clothes … or writing software (what one of my school teacher predicted  for the year 2000, haha).

Kramnik played a six game match against the computer program Deep Fritz in Bonn, Germany from November 25 to December 5, 2006, losing 2-4 to the machine, with 2 losses and 4 draws. He received 500,000 Euros
for playing and would have gotten another 500,000 Euros had he won the
match. Deep Fritz version 10 ran on a computer containing two Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs. Kramnik received a copy of the program in mid-October for testing, but the final version included an updated opening book.[3] Except for limited updates to the opening book, the program may not be changed during the course of the match. The endgame tablebases used by the program were restricted to 5 pieces[4] even though a complete 6 piece tablebase is widely available.

Es geht dabei um zwei nerdige IT-Admins und deren Managerin, die von Computern Null Ahnung hat.

Runterladen kann man die Folge hier, oder mit Bittorrent hier. Außerdem gibt’s das Video auch auf YouTube.
