I quite liked Foundation although possibly because it's the first SciFi I remember reading so there is some nostalgia at play. They made some interesting decisions in the adaptation but the techno space opera does look nice. Lee Pace's emperor is the most interesting character of the show even if he is chewing the scenery a bit.
Nice. A friend of mine built one with ball bearings: https://youtu.be/40DkJ9vt5CI?si=2TupxpdiZkEg3nVB
What do people expect? Those servers aren't free to run and they're is only so much VC money to burn. That said I wouldn't pay the various subscription levels that are currently being asked for. I pay for API use which is basically pay as you go. It also makes you think "does this task really need the non-free tier to complete?".
Well Palin continued his career as a genial travel show host. I'm sure he's not busy loving off python residuals. I think all of Cleese's movie money went in divorce settlements.
My first thought was can they? I thought Intel was one of the larger corporations out there. But I looked it up and QC has double the market cap (although that pales intro insignificance against nVidia).
My next thought is why? Do they want to control an aging out ISA or is it the foundries they are interested in?
I assume that is too cover the intelligence officers monitoring the Russian milbloggers.
I work for a company that makes money supporting FLOSS. Our members pay fairly hefty membership fees because they have a vested interest in their chips being well supported by Linux and the wider ecosystem. That money funds common projects they all benefit from all well as numerous maintainers in projects keeping those projects ticking.
The engineers on the project I mostly work on are predominantly paid to work on it. We value our hobbyist itch scratchers (~10% off contributors) but it's commercial money that keeps those patches reviewed and flowing.
It depends how well they've done it. James Bond talking about his watch was a super clunky one as I remember, but Bond and Aston Martin just makes sense for the character.
I can imagine it but it certainly won't be practical to implement in our lifetimes. There are certainly some observatories that benefit from being based in space (optical and infrared) and even gravitational detectors such as laser interferometers. However aside from the wide capture area radio telescopes need large amounts of compute to separate the signal from the noise. The amount of data that needs to be processed makes space based radio observatories very hard to implement.
Maybe the dark side of the moon will make a decent observatory one day but we haven't set foot on the place for decades, let alone built anything so complex.
You would be hard pushed to build something like the SKA in space given it spans multiple countries and a significant arc of the earth.
Well that brand integration was obviously a success 😂
I assume Wayne's World still got their cut from Pepsi, Advil and Dominos.
In other reporting it did seem he was proactive in contacting the parliamentary authorities once he received advice on the donations. The spouse situation is tricky because his wife isn't an elected official or even a political operative. However I doubt the donations would have been made of she doesn't sometimes appear with her husband on official occasions.
Also the pearl clutching by the Tories is hypocrisy of the highest order given some of the stuff their members got away with.
Still it's not a good look and hopefully the party officials are making sure other ministers are up-to-date on all declarations. You don't want this to be the start of a string of stories.
Magic Wormhole - it's been around awhile but it's super useful for moving files from your internet connected server to your phone without going through multiple hops copying stuff to you local machine and finding a cable.
That's how it starts. Before you know it you'll be buying no-name smart bulbs from Ali Baba and investigating custom firmware for full local only control.
We are about two thirds of the way in and Disney's terrible colour space handling aside it's a banger of a show. I have vague memories of the original TV adaptation but certainly prefer the modern one.
That was my thought at the time. There were multiple Brexit's being discussed during the referendum. It was a recipe for no one being happy with the result.
If we ever decide to go back in I hope we've learnt our lesson and either make parliament make the deal and be accountable for it or a two stage referendum, in principle and then on the negotiated entrance terms.
You can play bedrock on Linux using either the mcpelauncher or setting up waydroid. Both require you to have purchased it via Google play.
A landmark report says "toxicity" of debate is hampering medical research into gender services.
The long awaited Cass report has been published looking at gender affirming care in the NHS.

Are there any good recommendations for water control valves? I want to control a automatic watering system and need something to attach to the garden tap. Open firmware would be a bonus.
I found this post interesting for my layman's understanding of LLMs and some of the underlying architecture choices that are made.
Alex discusses his experience playing with the current crop of large language models and muses on the power of processors multiplying lots of numbers together.
I wrote this as a layman's primer to the basics of LLMs and other generative AI. I'm still early on in my journey but hopefully it helps explain things to other newcomers even if it glosses over the details.
They covered a number of topics but for me the most terrifying was the examples of deep fakery that had already been used in elections.
I wanted to ask the community if they had had any experience with deep fake media online? If so did you notice or did your need to be told it was? How much effort do you take to verify things you see online?
