The only other one that springs to mind is the one with the Nine-Brained Kyuubi.
Got any more?

And Quirrel was Ravenclaw.
That’s a literal Idiot Ball reference, not to mention canon. I don’t think we’ll see it.
That worked. Running “strfile rationality” on my system produces a different rationality.dat than the one you have checked into your repository, but “fortune rationality” works now.
(It doesn’t need to be copied to a system path.)
How do I use it? Fortune is being obstructive.
Read some blogs. I’d like to read the good blogs, but I have no idea where to find them; any pointers?
I wonder if that was all acting. If it wasn’t, then Hermione may now be very hard to kill indeed.
This can only be a good thing.
HE IS HERE. THE ONE WHO WILL DESTROY THE VERY STARS IN HEAVEN.
I’ve been wondering about this. Voldemort knows this prophecy, and I expect he realises it’s not about him. So, how can he expect to be able to kill Harry, in a self-consistent universe?
Perhaps Harry’s reading of that plan is all wrong.
Moreover, it ignores Merlin’s interdict. Those children had not learned how to disillusion themselves.
I think you’re on to something here.
With professional players, whose job it was to play Quidditch.
It won’t survive children doing the same. More to the point, the snakes and ravens are deliberately and obviously exploiting the current rules, which will trigger all sorts of fair play instincts.
A rather large fraction of my discussions happen via IRC; I log every bit of it, and carefully back the logs up.
Occasionally, I go back and read some random fraction of the logs. It is usually a valuable experience. I am doing so right now, albeit without IRC.
Or make your own CA, install that certificate in your browser and MITM the connection. Probably easier than changing your browser’s code; can easily be done all on a single system.
If it could, why don’t I just think about the feeling of pure bliss right now, and get the same effect without needing to go on the vacation?
I tried that. It has some effect.
I still wouldn’t go on that vacation, no. Actually, I would probably try to outlaw it. :)
I wouldn’t call what evolution does “random”. It’s a very weak optimisation process, but it is an optimisation process.
I think Go, the board game, will likely fall to the machines. The driving engine of advances will shift somewhat from academia to industry.
This is a sucker bet. I don’t know if you’ve kept up to date, but AI techniques for Go-playing have advanced dramatically over the last couple of years, and they’re rapidly catching up to the best human players. They’ve already passed the 1-dan mark.
Interestingly, from my reading this is by way of general techniques rather than writing programs that are terribly specialized to Go.
I’ve read Worm. Does that count?
However, getting your point across with fewer words is also a skill. 90,000 is enough to describe quite a lot of things happening.
The final arc is 90,000 words. That’s a fairly large book on its own; there’s time enough, if he’s even halfway terse.
What I’d like to see are videos. Does anyone know if the presentations were recorded?
If defection becomes cheaper, then you would expect more defections. All else being equal.
Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata.
It’s an anime about… making a game… that appears fully congruent with the contents of the anime...
In short, it seems to be a metacircular anime. It’s worth watching because of the way it plays with tropes, and the origin of those tropes; it’s marginally annoying in that many of the tropes it plays with are of the harem genre. There may be something more going on in the background, but I haven’t watched enough to tell. It may be especially interesting to people who have long experience with japanese animation.
The first episode is fully representative, so I’d recommend having a look if the above appeals.
