Then there's this $8 dome style 60mm arcade LED button that would look similar in shape to the original fisheye lens profile: (Also a real camera fisheye lens does the same thing behind.) That's bad because the intake fan and dust filter is right behind the removable front panel do not allow much space to work with.īut - maybe I could use the 'lens' and frame with the neck cut off and lit from behind (if it still looks the same) as a simple fixed power indicator light with no switch function. One problem with that is the switch sticks out behind pretty far. 52.5mm / 2.1" long stem with switch installed.HAL (for Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer, no less) was a masterwork of the third computer breakthrough. It was the highly advanced HAL 9000 computer, the brain and nervous system of the ship. The sixth member of the crew cared for none of these things, for it was not human. Large Arcade Button with LED - 60mm Red - $5.95 From 2001: A Space Odyssey, by Arthur C. There is also a 'smaller' 60mm large arcade game button just about the right size for a usable scale I'd need.

Yeah I saw that 100mm massive arcade game button project. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says "He is a ninja now". He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. He whispers in my ear "this is my pyjama". I called him a He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. Thanking him for the life I have been given. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed.

I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM. One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. So to celebrate the 50th anniversary of 2001: A Space Odyssey (and the fact that we’re all probably going to be replaced by robots in the near future), here’s a look at how HAL laid out the blueprint for AI in cinema.Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.
#Hal 9000 computer movie
Kubrick not only predicted the rise of our obsession with artificial intelligence, he facilitated the generation of movie after movie exploring the subject.

So HAL is a user-friendly service that constantly asks what’s on your mind, offers a chess app to kill time, and then secretly eavesdrops on conversations in order to subsequently ruin lives – it’s the 20th century equivalent of Facebook. But when Dave and Frank chat shit behind HAL’s hypothetical back, the computer lip-reads the exchange, and proceeds to wreak revenge. Voiced in a monotone by Douglas Rain, HAL performs duties such as monitoring the crew during hibernation, checking the vessel for potential faults, and outsmarting passengers at chess.
#Hal 9000 computer software
Goodbye.”Īs a reminder, HAL 9000 is the sentient software and “central nervous system” of Discovery One, a spaceship hurtling towards Jupiter. What’s more, if it’s lodged in your memory that one of the astronauts is called Dave, it’s because you hear it in HAL’s voice: “Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. The thing with 2001: A Space Odyssey, a landmark of the genre, is that everyone’s seen it, probably countless times – and yet, who can remember offhand the names of the actors involved? HAL 9000, though, immediately springs to mind. “But you can call me HAL”, the machine might say. Today marks half a century since Stanley Kubrick unveiled one of sci-fi cinema’s most celebrated characters: Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer.
