3 months until we have Stranger Things: Settlers of The Upside Down

Give fans the Tron movie they want, without an actor they hate, and they might just go see it

Vibe math. No thank you

Too much deep fried turkey?

Arthur C Clarke is an excellent author and the Rama series is one of my all-time favourites. I’d recommend anything by Philip K Dick, though honestly I think a good reference would be to pick works listed in the SF Masterworks collection, it’s how I found many of my favourite SF novels.

If you fancy venturing into modern SF classics, my favourites are by Peter F Hamilton, Iain M Banks and William Gibson; though does Gibson count? He doesn’t even have a middle initial 😄

Archive version, no paywall

I think we see a reform manifesto pledge to ‘bring back good, honest turkey twizzlers’ to school canteens 🙃

O’Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden 😄

It’s not just new series, the subtitles have been ridiculously bad for around a year in my estimation. There have been ‘AI’ tools for machine transcription for at least half a decade now, and the errors in Crunchyroll subtitles are consistent with my experience of using machine transcription tools in my work. It’s insultingly bad.

My link is blue.

‘One’

I think we’re gonna need a bit more neck on the guy on the right 🤔

Stone cold classic.

I have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.

I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.

The symptoms I live with daily as a result of ADHD are not the same as those used to diagnose ADHD, and I recognised that in 2022 when seeing videos of people’s lived experiences of ADHD made me realise they were talking about my lived experience.

I then when on to do a screening questionnaire which I spoke to my doctor about, who then agreed to refer me to a specialist psychiatrist for diagnosis.

The article basically boils down to the obvious ‘don’t take what you see on social media at face value, do some research’ and isn’t a revelation about ADHD content, more that they took a subset of content on a social media platform and found that non-experts in the field were as susceptible to inaccurate information on ADHD as likely most non-experts in any subject would be when encountering content on that subject on social media.

I watched it when it first came out, I was quickly hooked. Seems a little prophetic in some respects.

UK has American-supplied and maintained nukes so maybe not a great long-term prospect?

How about, you give me AI ‘enhancement’ and more ads and I’ll give you my solemn word to never use your browser again? Deal?
