What? Huh? I doubt it.
According to Gizmodo Australia, Apple TV and Paramount + may soon come as a bundled pair.
Is it perhaps only in Australia? That will never happen here.

@montag : it's pretty gripping, although not high brow television. It has a conspiracy vibe to it, and the first season asks more questions than it answers, but it's got some thrilling moments too ! If you can see it, it's not a bad investment, although I wouldn't say it's worth the investment on its own.
Apple TV+ has *tons* of science-fiction, like #ForAllMankind, #Severance, #HelloTomorrow, #See or #Invasion (on top of #Silo and #Foundation which you've mentioned).
Hm, ich habe gerade herausgefunden das es offensichtlich eine #Serie gibt, die auf der #SF Romanreihe #Silo von Hugh Howey beruht. Leider nicht auf einem der Streamingdienste die ich schon abonniert habe. Hat das schon irgendjemand gesehen und ist es sehenwert? Außerdem gibt es auf Apple TV+ noch #Foundation, wollte ich auch gerne mal sehen.

To add to the beauty and neatness of it all...
We only need 4 operations to represent any computable algorithm. 4 symbols.
Biology needs only 4 symbols to encode any organism.
We can *directly* encode our programs in DNA. If we ever get to a point of trying to bootstrap a programming language on top of wetware, this seems like a straightforward direction.

What is still more beautiful about the definition of lambda calculus shown in https://jevko.github.io/writing/2023-07-23-revelation.html is that by employing prefix notation and explicit operators (in particular for application), we get rid of the notions of implicit operator precedence, no parentheses are needed to disambiguate anything -- it's all there in the definition. More simplicity and beauty. Less to explain to students.
#lambdacalculus #axioms #foundation #computing #computerscience #primitive #mathematics #simple
It is also quite beautiful how "constructing" indices using revelation and reference is similar to constructing natural numbers and also similar to constructing Church numerals. Everything seems to nicely line up on multiple levels. A certain self-similarity, a fractal structure of the whole thing is revealed.
This lining up and this structure is beautiful, elegant.

Ad. https://jevko.github.io/writing/2023-07-23-revelation.html
The cool thing about reducing lambda calculus to 4 primitive operations and not using variable names or indices is that lambda calculus was supposed to be a system to describe the _foundations_ of computing/mathematics.
Starting with an infinite supply of arbitrary names or natural numbers always felt like cheating to me. The foundation should be as simple as possible.

If your ML model does not preserve all human knowledge, forming a repository of scientific, historical, and cultural information intended to shorten the period of chaos and decline following the predicted fall of the Galactic Empire, please don't call it a Foundation model.

Just finished watching Season 2 of #Foundation. A bit uneven but built to a satisfying climax, even though the Gaal and Salvor storyline felt like a whole lot of filler.
First settlers were the BAPTISTE families, hence the name of the island. On the mainland, they also owned land, far back from the shore. We also went there, to check for signs of graves, of the relatives who contacted me and asked. We're good that way, I'll do the legwork to help them find their genealogical roots. I do my own genealogy.
Explaining why this field exists, there were likely grazing animals once. Cows or sheep.

Who are we?
--
We are the product of & descendants of all those who either eliminated others violently (or) collaborated/made deals with those who did that extermination (or) those with power considered *not worth their attention* i.e the tiny few who somehow escaped being pulled into this system of organised domination.
We all live under systems of organised domination (State, Capitalism, …). No system of domination would allow a rebel/s who can actually threaten its existence to survive (actual threat not barely effective "free speech" — shouting into the wind, get tired & go home — kind of "threat").
❓ Do you know private Foundations or Organisations supporting Research and Knowledge Exchange concerning Occultism and (ancient) Magic? ❓
I've been looking online but couldn't find any and can't belive it.
I don't mean funding research at a University but research at other non-profits.

Mam darmowe 3 miesiące Apple+ po zakupie nowego maca, więc nadrabiam w końcu "Fundację" i całkiem fajna, chociaż oczywiście bardzo luźno adaptuje książki (ale ich się nie da sfilmować wprost). Szczerze mówiąc to estetyka Imperium jest dla mnie bardziej diunowa niż ten ascetyzm "Diuny" Villeneuve'a.

Malaysia Rail Link (#MRL) clarified that the East Coast Rail Link (#ECRL) #passenger #train will travel at a maximum speed of 160km/h, dismissing claims from recent media reports suggesting that it could more than double its #speed to 351km/h.
The entire #rail #infrastructure, including #foundation works, rail #track, #railway #signalling system, and #rollingstock, had been specifically developed based on a design speed of less than 200km/h.

To whoever wrote the #AppleTV #Foundation show:
HAVE YOU *EVER* READ ANY OF ASIMOVS ORIGINAL FOUNDATION NOVELS?
No?
Yeah, thought so.
Truth be told, the second season is even more atrociously written than the first one. Have you no respect for original work?
Fine. Write your own story. Don’t just steal the name from original work. You already built a mostly different world. Call it Game Of Space Stuff and be done with it.
Finished the season and it gets a little better, but it's still not good.
The world building and underlying story are excellent but, just like with #Silo, this second season of #Foundation wastes too much on adding unnecessary action #movie elements and cliches, presumably to interest the immature viewers.
Maybe it's an #AppleTV requirement for their expensive #SciFi / #fantasy shows (I stopped watching #ForAllMankind after the "shootout" 🫤)
#Foundation season 2, on #AppleTV, is terrible so far, 3 episodes in.
The writing is lazy and in mostly a completely different tone than season 1, and every episode has had at least one ridiculous, unnecessary, and "impossible" scene.
And the number of "fucks" in the dialogue is already many times more than all of the first season. And I'm a major "fuck" proponent.
This is like the first Star Wars, really bad writing and unoriginal story saved only by amazing visuals.
Really disappointing.

I had started a few shows, and a rewatch of #Foundation season 1, on #AppleTV when I decided to boycott all #AMPTP #streamers in #strike solidarity.
I'm almost done with #TheCrowdedRoom, which I like a lot, and the second episode of #DropsOfGod improved on the first and has an unexpected jaw-dropping moment of casual cruelty that elevates an otherwise tropey scene.
Foundation seems better because now I have a better understanding of it all. And it looks phenomenal on my 4K #Sony.

The phrase “Ugh that Day was awful" can be used in a couple different ways if you are watching #Foundation on #AppleTVPlus
Finished Apple's #Foundation and it was surprisingly engaging and tense. It's difficult to get scale across in these formats, but they did that really well both narratively and cinematographically. Empire's malevolence was great, and while the acting was a bit ropey at times, it had some really emotional moments. Recommended if you're a big #scifi nut.

Mad timing. We have been binge watching the final few episodes of #Foundation (it’s so good!) and just as the last episode finished, right before the credits rolled (just before 1am), we have a huge storm and a power cut.
It couldn’t have been more perfect, especially if you’ve seen the episode and the last scene!
To me, this amounts to an attack:

Managed to get Apple TV for 6 months for free, so going to try and fulfil my #scifi fix and binge watch #Foundation and #Invasion, alongside rewatching Gattaca and Contact.
Here are my rankings for 2023 genre TV shows social media says are great or terrible:
#Foundation season 2: A+++
#Silo: A+
#MrsDavis: A
#StrangeNewWorld season 2: A
#Picard season 3: A
#TheLastOfUs: A
#Ahsoka: B
#WheelOfTime season 2: C+
I can't remember what else I watched that is "genre."
Late to the party but I've finally managed to finish Season 1 of Foundation, as IMDB puts it the "complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire."
It has been a roller coaster with some episodes being very boring episodes and others stunning.
I wanted to see more of The Empire, and enjoyed very much the previous episodes about the DNA alterations.
Have you watched it?
I’ve been enjoying very much the last season of Foundation. Good to have a bit of time for myself to catch up !

Foundation's second season is even better than the first one!

The song “Tenderness” by General Public was just playing and I kept hearing it as “Terminus”. 😂 #Foundation
I only read 2 to 3 #Asimov books, but that was way back when I was in my mid-teens. I don't remember what I read, but nothing about the show seems familiar at all, so it is most likely I didn't read #Foundation. Once this show has completed, I will then read Asimov's Foundation. Naturally, I do expect the book series, or collection, to be even better than the show. I do, however, want to see how the show ends first. #IsaacAsimov

So I thought that imperial robot #Demerzel's name was a play on
'Mademoiselle'.
https://foundation.fandom.com/wiki/Demerzel
I noticed it sounds just like German "Dämmerzelle" (as an English speaker might pronounce it). A poetic invention literally meaning "twilight cell". Very fitting if you think of how she enters into emperor Kleon's service in the tv adaptation, 2nd season.
Little did I know that there's actually a poem using that very word…
Foundation started 2 years ago on AppleTV.
Season 2 ended last week, and we probably won't see season 3 until 2025.
#foundation #scifi #appletvplus #spaceship
I wish I felt like I could watch #Foundation.
I don’t want my head cannon to change though. Anyone else feel like that with adaptations?
For instance I am going through and #reading the last of #theExpanse #books and I now read the characters in the voices of the actors from the show instead of my original interpretation of the characters.
It’s not bad but I’m not having the same engrossing experience I did when I read the first books years before the show came out.
I just finished reading Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy.
Surprisingly, I don't think there have been any spoilers in the books for the first two TV seasons.
They've changed so much... I got an idea from the book about who might form the "Second Foundation" in the series, though.
But that has actually just increased my curiosity for Season 3. 🤓🖖
Watched Season 2 finale of #Foundation on #AppleTv last night and it did not disappoint. Loved this show from the visuals to all the amazing performances (always a Jared Harris stan).👏 👏 👏

I've been watching #Foundation on #AppleTV since is started. I like it, including the very slow burn first season.
But, the last to episodes of this season were WILD. I can't recall a TV show making such a sudden migration into such great storytelling late in its second season.
The series is officially underrated at this point. Very much worth a watch.
Is it just me, or the intro #music of the season 2 of #Foundation is similar to #HisDarkMaterials series?
I have dodged all the big bits of Peak TV. Lost, Sopranos, Game of Thrones- none of them grabbed me.
So I am now aware that if I tell you that #Foundation on Apple TV is uncommonly good, you have no reason to believe me.
But it really is.

Well, that was some fine character drama. Poor Brother Dusk, although he really was a clever bastard in the end. Poor Demerzel. Great payoff with Brother Day. Another big time skip. Now to wait for season three, but at least we’ll get the fourth season on For All Mankind in a couple of months…
