Made a fun little Mr. Sandman quartet with @jamesonhodge’s CHIMERA.

Every voice is generated as real-time singing from a synth simulating vibrating vocal folds and sound waves travelling through changing mouth shapes.

Conspicuous in not mentioning the specific rocket it launched on...

UK military satellite Titania has successfully launched into orbit.

Alongside Project Inaros, we can see threats sooner, making the UK safer.

Titania & Inaros are British-built and designed, meaning more highly skilled jobs, a stronger industrial base and a more secure UK.

i went to bed and asked claude to paint an autumn tree overnight.

at around 4am, it realised that it didn't have some shades -- so it stopped and titrated its own paint: diluting red, sienna and madder step by step on a second palette, then measuring each pocket from a photo.

woke up to this beautiful watercolor painting. 303 brush marks, took about 4.5 hours 🍂 (still working on the speed)

We legislated on this in 2011. 15 years later there is basically no evidence that the law improved outcomes for children.

We should be really wary of putting more burdens on struggling public bodies.

3yo will say numbers by counting up to them (e.g. "How old are you?" "I'm one, two three"). Toddlers are so inefficient that even printing an integer to stdout is O(n).

Brother, guess who’s going to look at those things.

[Archie Woodrow @SamuraiApology]

trying to work out why Patrick Stewart's death has affected me more than celebrity deaths usually do, and i think part of the answer is about the way Star Trek: The Next Generation kind of functioned as a slightly more grown up version of Sesame Street??

[COSMIC 🖖🏾 SLOP @afrocosmist]

"The Inner Light" (The Next Generation, season 5, episode 25, 1992). rest in peace Patrick Stewart

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Jean-Luc Picard remains the single most compelling vision of progressive politics I am familiar with — secular, rational, compassionate, egalitarian; a believer in progress & abundance but also duty, hard work, and a constant battle for self-improvement and improving the world.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Indeed. This is what poorly thought through regulation does. This set of changes has made us poorer. This will particularly hit young people. Governments doing real damage.

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

The UK sometimes does this funny thing where it decides that one tiny, tiny sliver of the country (Manchester city centre, Canary Wharf, etc.) should actually be allowed to grow if it wants to, and then this happens.

[Joe Allen @Joe___Allen]

Wales does not need a new Human Rights Act. We do not need yet another layer of statutory duties.

We have spent far too long on legislation like this which serves only to make the operation of government more sclerotic and allows a handful of politicians to grandstand.

[NCSC UK @NCSC]

The NCSC is encouraging UK organisations to prepare for immediate updating of systems using PHP. Where immediate remediation is not feasible, organisations should consider taking the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.

This week we'd like to share these fantastic photos of our Colne Valley Viaduct 📷👇.

The viaduct is the longest railway bridge in the UK and one of the most significant structures on the HS2 route. Stretching 2.1 miles (3.4 km), it will carry the railway across the Colne Valley Regional Park, connecting London and the Midlands while carefully navigating one of the country’s most environmentally sensitive landscapes.
