Alcinoe
Alcinoe (/ælˈsɪnoʊ.iː/; Ancient Greek: Ἀλκινόη Alkinóē) is the name that is attributed to three women in Greek mythology:
- Alcinoe, a naiad, and one of the nymphai Lykaaides (nymphs of Mount Lykaios in Arkadia). Her parents possibly were Oceanus and Tethys. She had her fellow nymphs assist Rhea whilst she was in labour with Zeus and helped nurse the infant god.[1]
- Alcinoe, daughter of King Polybus of Corinth and Periboea. She became the wife of Amphilochus, son of Dryas. Alcinoe refused to pay the full wages to Nicandra, a weaver she had hired, and the woman prayed to Athena to avenge her. The goddess afflicted Alcinoe with a passion for Xanthus of Samos and she left her husband and children and ran away with him. Coming to her senses in the middle of the voyage, she wept bitter tears and threw herself into the sea.[2]
- Alcinoe, a daughter of Sthenelus, and a granddaughter of Perseus.

gollark: Would TPUs even be very good for mining? Not sure what it's constrained by on regular GPUs.
gollark: Is there a recording of the thing anywhere or just the notes document?
gollark: It might actually be useful to have some kind of neural network file format detector for bad formats without clear headers. Or to help recover damaged files.
gollark: Can't wait for the `file` command to take several seconds of heavy GPU load.
gollark: You would still want to have information about the geese though.
