  • Contexts and Conversations
    Sam and Lucas take today to discuss the meanings of words. What does linguistics have to day about contexts providing more information to our words? Should future models of language focus on intended meanings through contexts or predefined, strict meanings? How should a computer interpret sounds not understood in language? Can they be completely ignored, or do they have meanings that are relevant? Find out more by listening!

  • The Travels of Two Rooks pt. 2
    Alright I'm going to be honest: we saved the best for last here. Lucas relays the story of his drunk purchases. Sam talks about his friend at the bar. Justin remembers he's at the podcast. Fun fact! Sam has used his hand to wipe his ass multiple times and reportedly would do it again! We discuss the meta-game surrounding ass-wiping in order to show Sam he is a bad, wrong person. We also talk more about colonialism because it's relevant to address it while talking about this. To be honest, you could probably skip part 1, it's mostly just the lore.

  • SLOOM ARCHIVE: Esoteric Languages and Supertasks
    Lucas decided it would be a good idea to bring SLOOMS1E2 (the second episode of SLOOM) out of the vault. I don't know why. Enjoy this mess. Juleon makes his first appearance on SLOOM to talk about esoteric computer languages and super tasks. Have you ever wanted to code in a language where you can only use blank spaces? Could you complete an infinite number of tasks within a finite amount of time? Listen to find out!
