    Regarding STO's TrekBBS Fleet

    I am sorry. For the past 6 years, I have tried to keep to the original founding promise of the fleet to have it be a home for all members of the forum who plays Star Trek Online. I have kept the vital fleet projects running. I have contributed to fleet projects as much as my meager resources as...

    Do most episode names come from literary works?

    I believe one of the writers mentioned in "After Trek" that episode 7's title "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" comes from a novel? Epsiode 9's "Into The Forest I Go" is from "Alice in Wonderland". Episode 12's "Vaulting Ambition" is from Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 7. To me, three samples makes...

    We might be making inroads into Artificial Thinking

    This won't be covered in the news because it's cutting edge AI research in Natural Language Processing that only happened in the past two years. And I need to stress that it potentially could end up being the wrong approach, but I don't think so which is why I'm typing it out. The short version...

    Shenzhou is not a name, it is a designation

    NASA gives their space crafts both a name and a designation. So for example a Space Shuttle is given the name "Challenger" and the designation "OV-099". The Chinese however only gave their space craft designations, but did not provide them with names. Thus, there are a series of 神舟 space...

    Is this an authentic PlayStation email?

    Today, I received several suspicious account registraion emails from PlayStation. I do not own a PS3 or PS4 and I definitely did not register for PlayStation. The emails come from Sony@email.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com. I'm pretty sure these are fake emails, but it would be helpful if you guys...

    I don't understand the appeal of Twitch

    I know what Twitch is. I have not used it much in the past other than to check out how a game plays before I purchase it. So I have never really watched more than a minute or two of any twitch video. This changed recently after I purchased Just Cause 3 and discovered it would not run properly on...

    Discovery Klingons: Flat or Bumpy?

    Now that we know Discovery is based 5 years before the adventures of Kirk and crew in The Original Series and that one of the main cast might be a Klingon Admiral, the big question I have is what would you like to see on screen? Flat or bumpy?

    BattleBots Season 2

    I didn't notice it till today, but BattleBots is back again. The preliminaries have already aired last month and it looks like the producers have removed all the "reality tv" segments and more time is devoted to the actual fight itself. The 56 participating bots have already been whittled...

    RIP Christina Grimmie

    I know, she isn't exactly famous... but I've been watching youtube videos of her singing since she was 13-14 years old and seen her grow as a singer. Waking up today, the first piece of news I heard was someone had shot and killed her at the young age of 22... I'm in disbelief, still shocked...

    Master of Orion 4

    Master of Orion was the world's first 4x space strategy game when it was released in the 1990s. I played it as a teenager and the game holds some sentimental value for me. So imagine my surprise when I heard someone is rebooting Master of Orion for the modern era. And yes, a constellation of...

    Presenting Atlas:TNG

    It's amazing to see how far Boston Dynamics has gone. This time, its a completely stand-alone and compact walking robot. In computer science, the level of difficulty in controlling a robot's movement is dependent on the number of degrees of freedom (dof) of movement the robot has. For example, a...

    Zygon Inversion extended speech

    This is a script reading of the speech from The Zygon Inversion Peter Capaldi did while he was in New Zealand. Its slightly different from the one we saw in the episode, so I thought I'll post it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sMgwIUECSs

    Best age to start watching Doctor Who?

    I have a young nephew who's currently 4 years old and I kinda view it as my sacred duty to hook him on scifi as his parents are not interested in scifi. I figured I'll introduce him to Doctor Who first as its aimed at children. He's probably still too young, but what's the best age to start...

    Why the Prime Universe makes sense for new Trek series

    Marvel has the MCU where Iron Man can show up in a Captain America movie, where Dare Devil and Luke Cage can guest star in a Jessica Jones tv show. In the DC verse, the Green Arrow can go to Central City and hang out with The Flash, Batman can fight Superman. Han Solo can have his own...

    Google Open Sources Deep Learning Software

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZikw5k_2FM As a ML practitioner, I'm hugely interested in this as currently its not easy to use or deploy Deep Learning. There's almost no software library out there that does Deep Learning out of the box, so if I want to do apply Deep Learning I have to code...
