Finally, some good AI news

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 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.

“In Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator, the robots become self-aware and take over the world,” Burke’s study begins. “In this paper, we take a first step in that direction…”

He’s planning out where to build the new McDonalds concession

Dragon 32! A proper, Welsh machine

Archive version, no paywall

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

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

In tonight’s headlines, man with red front door paints it blue. Contents behind front door remain unchanged. More at 6.

‘One’

The Amiga mouse was quite Cybertrucky in form, but pretty functional overall.

Stone cold classic.

Yeah, because it stinks

More like the Conservative government spent in the region of £700m on the scheme, and sent only 4 people there.

Shave 'em. I don’t want no cowlick near my balls

I have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.

I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.
