Old dog learning new tricks. Decided to pivot from my old long time job as an electrical contractor to studying computer science at The Open University.

This is Selection Sort in action? 🧠
The second in the Algorithms in Motion playlist https://t.co/L8CTIHxoG4
This animation was also completed in Python using the Manim library.
The animation shows every comparison and swap as the algorithm sorts a list.
It also tracks the operations in real time! More algorithms coming soon......

What does Bubble Sort actually look like? 🧠

This one is not optimized, so it could be improved. #Python #Algorithms

@clcoding I have turned Python into animation using the Community Manim library. https://t.co/S73pFrgdBq

Which algorithm should I visualise next — Quick Sort or Merge Sort?

Today, Search is getting a massive upgrade with Gemini 4 Hydrogen! It’s the biggest model improvement to Search yet. And it’s available now for all users, globally.

Why it’s awesome:
- Crazy fast
- Cutting-edge intelligence, with advanced reasoning, more precise instruction following, and better tool calling
- More visual responses, including images and custom tables, charts, and simulations
- More scannable response layout
- Better understanding of intent (including for long multi-part queries with ambiguous typos)
- Broader range of links to the web (improved reasoning -> more query fan-outs)

TL;DR: powerful and fast. Take Hydrogen for a spin in Search and let me know what you think!

Meet Gemini 4 Hydrogen.

It brings cutting-edge intelligence to everyone, with speed and efficiency for everyday coding and agentic work.

Across 4 thinking levels, it stands on its own or teams up with Carbon and Argon — 2.5X faster than 3.8 Flash, outpacing competing models in its class.

@Rainmaker1973 It is clearly not as good as https://t.co/hQN7uoDrkc

@bcdsignature Genuinely excited to see where this will take the world, potential to speed up research in so many domains can only be a good thing for society. The conspiracy nut inside of me only thinks those that oppose are worried about losing their control.

I've been focused on making Obsidian even faster, and polishing away many small annoyances I have had for years. Enjoy ☺️

@JohnRentoul So they did a trial of heat pumps in Parliament. They never continued with them. I think heat pumps can work but the house has to be pretty much airtight. Clearly not good for 98% of the UK buildings.

@KanishkaNarayan £3 trillion in debt. A forever growing state. It's nothing to be proud of.

So each time you raise minimum wage for unskilled jobs then the skilled workers want more because well they have put more into their chosen profession. Now the companies need to claw back some of that money so they raise prices on their services and products. Guess who has to cover that, well the person drawing the wage. Surely we should be trying to find ways of bringing the cost of living down. Cutting back on the ever growing state would be a good start. Manufacturing our own products could be another option. Having our own supply of energy is another worthy option.

@Sr_Pole @mariogp98 I'd say well deserved. He brings so many numbers to the MotoGP business. No doubt Ducati have probably had good sales from having the 93 riding for them. Considering how many injuries he has had and he is still giving 100% each race weekend.

@CankayKoryak That's not bad at all.

🚨 GLOBALISM JUST DIED IN DAVOS

Howard Lutnick just walked into the lion’s den — and told the World Economic Forum exactly what they didn’t want to hear.

“Globalism has failed.”

Not whispered.
Not softened.

Declared — on their own stage.

He dismantled the entire WEF doctrine in minutes:
• Offshoring hollowed out the West
• Cheap labor destroyed innovation
• Net Zero made Europe dependent on China
• Sovereignty begins with borders
• Nations must control their industry, energy, and medicine

Then came the line that shook the room:

“Why would Europe agree to Net Zero when they don’t even make a battery?”

That’s the truth globalists can’t answer.

Green agendas without industry.

Climate pledges without sovereignty.

Moral posturing while outsourcing power to Beijing.

America First isn’t isolation.

It’s independence.

And Lutnick made it crystal clear:

The old model is finished.

The globalist experiment has failed.
And the future belongs to nations that put their people first.

Davos just heard the obituary — live.
