A random conversation reminded me of a computer game I played in the early 90's: Frac (3D Tetris). I fired up the browser version and I was surprised that my fingers remembered how to manipulate the pieces. Good times.

Funny Machine Learning Outcomes
A great list...
Including such instance classics:Would you like a giant list of times that ML systems learned to do the thing by hacking some bug you didn't realize your system had? Yes you would. Because it's hilarious. https://t.co/qN2FYpUy8e— Andromeda Yelton (@ThatAndromeda) January 9, 2019
"In an artificial life simulation where survival required energy but giving birth had no energy cost, one species evolved a sedentary lifestyle that consisted mostly of mating in order to produce new children which could be eaten (or used as mates to produce more edible children)."Or:
"A robotic arm trained to slide a block to a target position on a table achieves the goal by moving the table itself."Via @ItsRobbAllen

Lord British is a robot!
Lifehacker does a "How I Work" series and asks people about their hacks, battle stations, tools, etc. They recently interviewed Richard Garriott aka Lord British. I had not thought about Ultima in a long time. And it was interesting to read about his use of a tele-presence robot.

Ham Licenses
It's been a year since I posted an update on the Ham licenses chart.
Up: Extra, General, Tech, and Total
Up: Extra, General, Tech, and Total
This is a high water mark for all three classes and overall licenses. Total was 748,136 at the end of 2017.
Down: Advanced and Novice
Advanced and Novice will only go down since no new licenses are being issued for these classes.

Hero Forge
Pretty cool... Hero Forge - Custom Miniatures.
They will send you the 3D printer file, or 3D print your design for you, or even create a bronze or steel miniature.
I designed this one with just a few clicks.
