Finally, some good AI news

Not the TPS reports!

For the first fraction of a second, after reading the post title, I thought we were talking about developing a rocket to chase and capture SpaceX property. The actuality does not spark joy.

Can shrimp even ride horses?

TLDR: in this specific instance, yes

Vibe math. No thank you

Arthur C Clarke is an excellent author and the Rama series is one of my all-time favourites. I’d recommend anything by Philip K Dick, though honestly I think a good reference would be to pick works listed in the SF Masterworks collection, it’s how I found many of my favourite SF novels.

If you fancy venturing into modern SF classics, my favourites are by Peter F Hamilton, Iain M Banks and William Gibson; though does Gibson count? He doesn’t even have a middle initial 😄

The bat travelled 1,000 miles. It is not stated how far the car travelled.

The Express is well known in the UK for exaggerated and rage-bait headlines. That and predicting outrageous weather events, without evidence, that never materialise

The Daily Express is a UK right-wing tabloid newspaper and is a very unreliable news source. I can only presume that the US version is from the same mould.

Note that it was City of London Police involved. The City of London is quite distinct and different from the London that tourists know of. The City of London is owned by the corporations (mainly financial institutions) within its boundary, it is self-governing and has the right to set up it’s own police force which can take enforcement action in any part of the UK, not just the City of London. They are basically an enforcement arm for corporations and are very interested in things like enforcing intellectual property claims.

Dragon 32! A proper, Welsh machine

Renegade III: The Final Chapter.

Renegade on the ZX Spectrum was good, the sequel Target: Renegade was one of my favourite games for years, but the third game was a cynical cash grab, badly executed, barely playable.

I think we see a reform manifesto pledge to ‘bring back good, honest turkey twizzlers’ to school canteens 🙃

All woke and no play makes Jack a dull boy

O’Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden 😄
