Possibly the greatest moment of all television, of all time.

So sad about Esther Rantzen. That’s Life introduced me to the concept of investigative journalism & their vox pops will never be bettered. This is art. RIP.

Whatever you think of U2, this is pretty bloody amazing. 50 years to the day after the four of them met through Larry Mullen's school noticeboard invite for musicians, they play at the same school. Backed by young players whose programme they co-fund. @50YearsAgoLive

Back home in Dublin… No better way to spend our 50th anniversary than with the beautiful souls of Grafton Street last night 🇮🇪

I just noticed that Amazon (the US site) currently offers a 16% discount ($37.67) on my book 𝐴𝐼 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑆𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠 (an introduction to AI for people who are serious about understanding how AI works). I have no role in this and do not know how long it will last.

A message to the people in #70Up: we have grown up together, and I’ve always watched with fascination, but the current series fills me with such unspeakable joy and grief at the same time. Thank you. A true epic. I salute you x

It's isn't just to people with ADHD that this happens. Some tasks inherently take a certain amount of time. An appointment that breaks the afternoon into two blocks of time could leave you with no block long enough to complete a task.

This is the visualization we've all been waiting to see. Read the questions and insightful replies by @joonas_nattila in the thread below. I learned a lot from reading his answers. And his supercomputer visualization is really instructive!

Being so clever you can solve a millennium maths problem - but also not know that you have done it

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

Announcing a solution to the Navier-Stokes problem, one of the seven Millenium Prize problem.

Represents a major milestone for both AI and mathematics, as well as pointing to an upcoming renaissance in scientific discovery.

Hoping that the knowledge created by this model can help the community better understand non-linear PDEs, which are used to model much of the physical world.

🚨 WATCH: This remarkable political intervention ‼️

On 19 October 1982, aged 88, former Conservative prime minister Harold Macmillan explained Britain’s future 👉 with startling accuracy.

His complete message is therefore extraordinarily current:

Britain cannot solve global economic problems alone. Europe gives it the power to shape events. Without that power it becomes America’s client. Technology can liberate humanity, but only if political leadership ensures that the wealth it creates is shared.
