Dead bodies do bother some people

Brains do too

Blah blah blah blah...guys, I'm with Pol. You all rule. Marvellous. Now talk about normal stuff. Or we'll start talking about dead people. A lot.

Dead bodies do bother some people

Brains do too

I did a small function to decode the sequence in the BG building this afternoon, but it's just too tedeous and doesn't do UTF-8. Blah, I'll leave my brain to Larry the Great, I'm sure he'll do a brilliant job in teaching it everything it needs to know about ML.

Nash equilibrium bothers people too, but I don't threaten to talk about it. Even though I could, in detail. And I'd rather enjoy it.

There are two sets of codes in the lab, one lot on the research side and one on main street floor. One says something boring like "Computer Laboratory" or "William Gates Building" or something drear. The other is the original instruction set of the EDSAC and wouldn't make any sense to decode it. I forget which is which, but I doubt you'd need the 8th bit for the message, I'm sure normal 7-bit ascii would do (and ML does do that).

We so are neighbours!! I'm on St Paul's Road too! Freaky I knew Caius had houses there too but it never crossed my mind for a second you might be living there...

I got briefly taught about Nash equilibrium in our Economics and Law course, it seemed interesting. But the games we were doing were rather trivial, and some had dominant strategies anyway. (though they may have been the single iteration games).
I think I'd like to read up more on game and auction theories when I have some time, but an entire degree in them seems like overkill.

What's nash equilibrium?

uh oh...

What's nash equilibrium?

You'll find out in your second year .

Am I too young to remember that stuff?

Will Larry the Great teach that to me?

huh? i was just dreading the return of baz and the his anticipated ramblings on obscure subjects... particularly when you are practically begging to set it off with that question...

back to more familiar stuff like dead bodies please

Ross "Varsity's most powerful person in Cambridge" Anderson will, he might also take you for Software Engineering I.

Larry will probably only take you for Software Engineering II this year, and Logic and Proof next year.

Yeah, dead bodies. Dead bodies are so cool man... They are so in these days... Even among non medic societies...

see... the power of dead bodies... even the uninitiated are swayed... medics rule.
