Hello you guys*. I plan to be at the next meeting, and I'm not much into AI, but I am into a plethora of other topics, any of which I would feel fortunate to share with someone else: 

  • Historical Materialism, 
  • Tactical Urbanism, 
  • Predictive Processing, 
  • Garden ponds with dragonflies/frogs/toads, 
  • Mnemotechniques, 
  • The rise of nationalism (in Europe or in Asia), 
  • Effective transport infrastructure (per construction cost, maintenance cost, [time travelled*distance from a to b/(area of vehicle+area of infrastructure)]-wise (i'd wish this was an established unit)) 
  • Urban Architecture
  • Movie productions, preferably documentaries

If any of you feel a bit like me, and have something that you'd like to share with someone else but which you fear is unlikely to be something anyone's any time thinking about before, go ahead and reply what you'd like to share with someone else.

You are very welcome, and I think you'll fit right in. It's quite a coincidence that you're interested in documentary productions, as a documentary producer is visiting us for the first hour.

There's a symbolic "AI Box" to contain AI discussion. I'd like to talk about RUF and the transportation infrastructure of Dath Ilan with you, but I usually end up in the box no matter what I do. :)

I didn't make it last time because my wife was coming home from a conference, and I probably can't make it next time because of a vacation in Iceland, but I will most likely come the time after that.

Actually, we'll reschedule to make it for the meetup.
