    I tried typing in a line from David Bowies Starman, and it produced a quite beautiful poem.

    I think George RR Martin is actually a pseudonym for one of these bots :)

    you’ll usually get a sensible answer to tech questions on TLB, don’t expect one on the general forum though :thumbsup:

    Is Barry Haynes sexy? You have got to ask him.

    We're not exactly sure because Barry and Katie were pretty much alone in their own apartment the night before our meetup. And while the weather was warm and they didn't mind a bit of sun exposure, they were totally naked and barely talking after all of those years. But when Katie asked him what he'd looked like the last time, he was happy to oblige.

    "I'd have to say I'm still young, but I hope that I am pretty young for an animal," Barry quipped.

    Barry also revealed that he didn't expect Katie to be totally against him taking part in the show. They've been seeing each other at shows together for years, so he knew it'd be hard being a guest.

    The scary bit is how these bots are going to be used. You will be ranting your heart out to a friendly server in the Amazon Cloud who speaks with your accent and dialect and a friendly manner, seems to be an old acquaintance, rather than "Dave" from Bangalore who gets angry in return.

    And if it likes you it will arrange car hire, flights and have a phone chat with the owner of the AirBnB in the correct local language for your trip.

    has Barry Haynes been to the airport today
    , a small group of protestors, who said they were from Bury, have decided to stand outside the gate. After some discussion the group decided to march to Heathrow. They were told there, with the crowd surrounding them, to walk away and have a beer afterwards. They are happy though to have been informed so early on that they were in no danger.
    If the protesters had been wearing helmets and wearing masks this would have been the end of a night, just as it has been for far too long, but they have decided to be brave and wear their masks. Perhaps it is also a message to the Government and Police that such acts of protesting are tolerated and that their policies and regulations will be respected and that you will be protected with the police at Heathrow. It is not the fault of these protestors their actions did not provoke Heathrow police. It was a direct outcome of the Government not being transparent, not getting to grips with the fact that they have become too aggressive at protests and this is the first event in years when it is clear that something is not right. They need to be much more cautious when

    Built by Adam King (@AdamDanielKing) as an easier way to play with OpenAI's new machine learning model. In February, OpenAI unveiled a language model called GPT-2 that generates coherent paragraphs of text one word at a time.

    For now OpenAI has decided only to release small and medium-sized versions of it which aren't as coherent but still produce interesting results. This site runs the new (May 3) medium-sized model, called 345M for the 345 million parameters it uses. If and when they release the full model, I'll likely get it running here.

    While GPT-2 was only trained to predict the next word in a text, it surprisingly learned basic competence in some tasks like translating between languages and answering questions. That's without ever being told that it would be evaluated on those tasks. To learn more, read OpenAI's blog post, follow me on Twitter or follow my blog:

    I own a classic VW bus ....

    It's the '93 model, which was built back in 1973. I've always loved the van, and I'm sure there's still a few VW fans out there who haven't been able to get their hands on this one of a kind example. This one has seen a lot of action and been driven a lot of times… but probably not to the extent one would like to see it driven.

    In fact, if you're a collector of Old VW vans, the owner had to deal with a lot of road rage from older customers since the bus was in fact a '96 model.

    Now, I will say the guy driving at this point probably thought "hey, I don't give a hoot, I'll buy you a bus now I can drive it around, I won't have to buy any parts for it… and I won't have to buy anything for my truck as well, you just have to take my money." And the guy in front of us thought that too. But, he has a point.

    It comes with a fully-equipped van seat and is available in leather. This was the original wood-and-aluminum bus.
