Beyond These Shores

Beyond These Shores is a progressive rock album by Iona, released in 1993. Beyond These Shores is largely based on the story of St. Brendan's voyage. Brendan and a company of monks sailed from Ireland in a leather and wood boat in the sixth century to 'the promised land' which many believe to be America.

gollark: It is funny that people keep losing to a fairly trivial piece of code which just decides how good a move is by playing 100 *entirely random games* starting from it and seeing how many it wins.

gollark: Unfortunately, it has to run in your browser and I don't have much compute, so I can't use very state-of-the-art methods like muzero. Not that I know how that works in much detail.
