I’ve been spending Easter Saturday reading this beautifully written eulogy to @RevRichardColes’s late husband. Brings back so many memories of my own loss 6 years to the day.

Canada’s public broadcaster CBC has officially joined the European Broadcasting Union.

This now makes them eligible to participate in Eurovision, and it is reported that they are very likely to do so in 2027.

That we are forced to endure people blasting music over such moments of national significance is indicative of our wider problem. It is - quite obviously - preposterously antisocial and rude, but we just allow it to continue with a shrug as if there is nothing we can do about it.

A TV discussion I had with Roy Hattersley , Tony Benn and David Owen. First time they had all been together since they were in cabinet up until 1979 election. A big falling out followed.. and then this:

#OTD 1987. General Election.

Shock opinion polls in the day claim that the country is heading for a Hung Parliament - as the markets go into panic.

Exit polls claim Thatcher heading for majority of 68 - but it ended up at 102

Given the subject matter and comparing it to the psychodrama that often governs cabinet resignations, Healey's decision to quit feels like the most consequential departure of the last 25 years

Hi @LNER you’ve advertised that train punctuality at Grantham is just 61.9%. What are you doing to improve this? Thanks

London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers.

After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Authorities had planned major man-made flood infrastructure, but the beavers effectively created their own system — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.
