@louiseallain yep and they are never this low. truly felt like a missile was about to land on my porch !

[Liguria @GrainStrat]

@Cherry_Nosed @louiseallain seems the pilot has flown down from RAF Coningsby, circled around Royston a bit, then down over London to Battersea Park and then west to Chipping Norton, now about to flyover Northampton !

the flyover was extremely low indeed.

[Liguria @GrainStrat]

@ArsenalBallots sounded like a missile was about to land. for once could empathise with those in warzones suffering this on a daily basis. crazy

[Liguria @GrainStrat]

@Cherry_Nosed @louiseallain super strange no? doesn't make sense for them to fly as low as they did. genuinely sounded like a missile was about to land

[Liguria @GrainStrat]

@Muppetsdad2 was shocked - never heard anything like that before in 30 years living in central

[Liguria @GrainStrat]

@louiseallain it was extremely loud, i'm in central and heard them we were shocked

[Liguria @GrainStrat]

@PuzzlerSharpe yes just heard it around central, sounded like a missile was about to land was shocking

[Liguria @GrainStrat]

@DebunkingTips just heard it around central, it was flying extremely low and loud.

Words can’t describe how heartbreaking the passing of my coach, Daniel Naroditsky, is.

Just a few days before the Grand Swiss tournament in Uzbekistan which took place a little more than a month ago, I asked him to coach and accompany me.

Even though it was a last-minute request and he had to travel across the world to reach Samarkand, he booked his flight and figured everything out within hours. That’s who he was, always there, never hesitating to help.

We spent an amazing half month together. I’ll always be grateful for those days and everything I learned from him.

Danya was the most genuine person I have ever known.

I’ll never forget our late night bullet matches over the past 10 years. he was the only person in the world who regularly beat me in those.

Danya, your legacy lives on forever.
I’m sure somewhere up there, you’re playing blitz and discussing history with the greats.

@mitchellh Lol if you're flying coach and you run a large multinational business which can afford it, you're just stupid.

@BCalusinski Possibly the saddest thing I've ever read.

ChatGPT your ice breakers to a bunch of random people so you have some network?

@Valuefinder01 @business Trafi bitumen desk hasn't made money in years, just bleeding cash. Vitol is a different story.

Potential biosignature on Mars: confirmed. ✔️

After a year of scientific review, we are more sure than ever that our Mars Perseverance's 'Sapphire Canyon' sample could contain signs of ancient microbial life. Learn more about the discovery: https://t.co/RMO2UFfnjv

@Liggi @gdb No, Greg just didn't read the paper

[Liguria @GrainStrat]

@MorrisDouek She's an alarmist. Yes modern varieties are highly susceptible to the climates in which they're grown changing - but new varieties which are hardier and still have highly similar tasting notes for arabica and robusta are being bred.
Human ingenuity always wins.

@GoogleDeepMind What about training these models?

We have data on the environmental impact per AI prompt:
Gemini: 0.00024 kWh & 0.26 mL water
ChatGPT: 0.0003 kWh & 0.38 mL
...the same energy as one Google search in 2008 & 6 drops of water.

Seems to be improving, too: Google reports a 33x drop in energy use per prompt in a year.
