Murderbot was so damn good! I have just one tiny complaint. The text was too small. I don’t watch it on a huge 72” TV, so whenever they would show text from SecUnit I’d have to get closer to the screen to read it.
The best artificial Total #SolarEclipse ever, delivered by ESA's #Proba3 spacecraft duo of which one carries the telescope while the other plays Moon - this allows imaging the solar #corona closer to the photosphere than any other coronagraph: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Proba-3/Proba-3_s_first_artificial_solar_eclipse

"Hi andy user,
Your package has been collected by our shipping partner. It is getting closer to you every minute!"
They always call me "andy user" and I have no idea how that could have happened. They of course have my full name and even if they're trying to appear friendly why lower case it and put "user" in?

'Sovereign AI' is just political branding, signaling to nationalist impulses while continuing to pour money into big tech firms. It's a mask for a sucker's game.
"This reveals a new kind of digital colonialism. Not one where countries are denied access, but one where they are structurally bound into dependencies across every layer of the AI stack.

“The modern-day system of colonialism and sharecropping being constructed by the new East India Company that is Silicon Valley isn’t uncouth or stupid enough to put people in physical shackles. It doesn’t want to own your body, it is content with owning your simulation. And yet, as we have already seen, the more data they have about you – the higher the fidelity of your simulation – the closer they are to owning you.

On Saturday we spent a deal of time cleaning up the shed and whist it's not finished it's a lot closer to the way it looked some 15 years ago when I started using it.
There is still a lot to do, build another 2 bookcases and put them in the server room at the end of the shed. And then replace the blinds.

I have deconstructed the temporary half arsed shoddy micro-campervan conversion.
Emptied it out, ready for the professionals to do the fully arsed non-shoddy permanent conversion over the next couple of weeks.
The fridge and the chair remain in the back but not tied down at all.

My job was so shoddy it was already starting to fall apart so will be good to have it done properly.

Q. Explain why the 9th full test of the Starship was a resounding success.
A. Before we can get to Mars, we must perfect the needed technology by colonizing a target that is closer to us. While some think that the Moon could serve this purpose, the Earth is a much more convenient (if challenging) target. In test #9, Starshit, sorry, Starship managed t…
