AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the documentary "Deep Blue | Down the Rabbit Hole," which explores IBM's investment in the chess team that developed the Deep Blue supercomputer. It emphasizes how IBM funded the project until it achieved significant success, after which the company withdrew support. The conversation draws a parallel to a story about a chess grandmaster who underestimates a stranger, illustrating the complexities of strategy and perception in chess. The mention of different orders of logic—first, second, and third—serves to underscore the varying levels of understanding and strategy involved in chess and artificial intelligence.

The one thing that got me was how IBM funded the chess team until they won big and then dropped the project. It’s like that story of the chess grandmaster who played often in a local pub. A stranger walks in and plays him for a beer.

The grandmaster thinks this is great I’ll let him win this time and then I’ll have a free supply of beers in future games. After the game, the stranger leaves and the chess grandmaster asks when are you coming back? The stranger says ”Why?” I just beat a grandmaster.

Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...
I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
