in 2022 I designed and built a 1:76th scale model of a shepherds hut that I had seen mentioned in a news story, found pictures of it on an auction site, drew it up as a buildable kit and cut it out with my laser. Having built it I then lost the files (my fault).
Today I re-found the pictures online and drew up the kit again, hopefully slightly improved. Here is the original model alongside the new kit of parts.
No AI was used in this process at all.

Ukraine is the victim of a lawless, brutal, unprovoked invasion by a politically backward and dysfunctional would-be empire ruled by a murderous autocrat.
That assessment was obvious on Feb. 24, 2022 when the full-scale invasion was launched,
and it was obvious in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea.
The challenge of writing about the war is that once you’ve said that,
saying it again just feels repetitive.
This is a bigger problem than one columnist’s selfish de…

Column: The war in Ukraine is becoming very inconvenient for Trump
It is utterly dishonorable to watch the president excoriate and victim-blame Ukrainians on a geopolitical scale.

VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…

"The truth is that the British government has placed itself in an exposed position thanks to its increasingly aggressive intervention in the Russia-Ukraine war.
"From the first, it has spared no effort to prolong the war – Boris Johnson stopped partying in Downing Street long enough to fly to Kiev in April 2022 to help block an incipient peace deal."
