@Ianblackford_MP It's a good demonstration of superior military technology defeating a major aggressive action. Let's support Ukraine so they can do the same, or we'll be protecting our interests much closer to home soon.

@BerndPorr @FT There's me thinking technology should keep up with the infrastructure's demands. _That's_ what I've been doing wrong all this time!

[Nick Bailey @nick_j_bailey]

@BerndPorr That's very sound advice! I expect it goes down hill from then on? 😉

@BerndPorr @MyGlasgowCC Have you been eating vegetables again?

@Jason_TheMighty @yahanaashaqua @gunsnrosesgirl3 But you can work leftwards by asking "what, added to zero, gives 1?" I thought the Fibonacci series was usually quoted as "1, 1, 2..." anyway.

@DrJaninaRamirez Over-simplified. Warm episodes are in F. Cold ones are in C. Also, incomplete. For example, copper on printed circuit boards is oz/m² (not sure what sort of ounce)

It feels so weird to me that people talk about open source as reckless and a risk when it comes to AI model.

Open source has been responsible for the last 20 years of technological revolution. Builders sharing their free knowledge to the world to benefit us all.

But suddenly now the only safe option is to let only big corporations have AI?

Like… what?

Top: BBC News and Sky News live broadcast and provided hours of commentary to Suella Braverman speaking to a room full of less than 40

Bottom: BBC News and Sky News ignored 20,000+ people on #MarchForRejoin including the thousands who stayed for speeches in Parliament square

@walkermartyn @LizWebsterSBF @MarchForRejoin There was never a majority vote in favour of Brexit. Not even in the referendum, when c. 38% of the electorate voted for it.

@fatfabfeminist That's why I won't subscribe to any. I will only buy round shiny things, even if they only get read straight on to my media server.

@cuppsovictoria @knowrohit07 @PhysInHistory Oh the other hand, it stopped the war. So fewer Chinese were eaten that would otherwise have been the case (yes, you read that correctly). See for example https://t.co/1f3bYzPmgc

@ProfBrianCox That's the ideal, not the reality. "science advances one funeral at a time" as Max Planck said. At least it's only one at a time, unlike politics.

@AWG1 @PoliceScotland Clearly they *don't* have a backup, any that's the problem. Cyber attack? It's the first thing I'd do before a terrorist attack.

[Nick Bailey @nick_j_bailey]

@kenatbeaufort @PoliceScotland @RThomsonMP Exactly. In Comms, "redundancy" doesn't mean what they think it means. If course, BT has got a lot worse since I left... 😉

@keziah_milligan @anniesaxberg @SarahFPoetry @CasparSalmon When css_descramble.c came out, to be allowed to play DVDs we'd bought on equipment we'd bought, we'd have to violate the American copyright laws (so much for "land of the free"). Derived artistic works weren't covered. Hence this dramatic reading. https://t.co/z134CXXEfp
