"The dining room is made from prefabricated cardboard, with tiny staples such as bread, pasta or rice sticking to the surface."
Seems to be doing a bit of overfitting - "Housed in a monolithic glass cube in Vienna’s Stadtpark..." section is copied from theworlds50best.com/The-List-2018/…
"Fun fact: While Kramar continues to make Cthulu pop, the original Macbeth has been replaced with Hare bonbon, a dessert served in wooden sticks fashioned from caviar."

i HOPE the neural net made that one up

Decided to see what would happen if I trained a neural net to write names for self-aware AIs.
May I present: GPT-2 trained on AI names from Iain M. Banks's Culture novels

Did you know that there's a commercially released Peter Molyneux game you definitely haven't played? And that there's a good chance it's permanently lost?

👇👇👇
Molyneux has mentioned in interviews promoting his upcoming title Legacy that it's a return to the premise of the first game he ever wrote.
He's mentioned this game, The Entrepreneur, often in interviews, usually telling the same story: he anticipated huge success, but only ever received two orders.

This is a thread about three of life's greatest things: #pasta, @Wikipedia, and @Wikidata.

There are many other great things in life, but this thread is not about them.
A couple of weeks ago I celebrated a birthday in an Italian restaurant in #Haifa, and I saw a pack of pasta of a curious shape on a shelf there. I asked whether they serve it or sell it.
"No", they told me, "it's just a display".

This answer didn't satisfy me.

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

Seems a good day to post this article about 7 East End Jewish siblings (including my maternal grandfather FJ) who "did their bit" in WW2. All survived the war but many of their friends did not #RemembranceDay2018
2/ I have another article along same lines. I guess they wanted to publicise they were doing their bit like everyone else, in the context of some non-British born Jews being put in internment camps and many (including this family) coming from East End poverty, keen to integrate
3/ Here's an amazing bit of history which I have from a school project I did about 'my grandpa's war' when I was 12. I have the original photo which is better quality. It shows a military funeral for 2 RAF crews killed in a terrible crash - with clergy from 5 different religions
