Gut reaction to the results: swearing because you feel you should have got it, and frustration because you feel it's too hard.

Would it be fair to say that Zuck had some idea (and for some time)? Otherwise he’d have no reason to write the letter about interference.

Amazing to see this. I just landed after a week in Japan where we discovered this word and instantly recognised how it applies to our team. Made heavy use of it when pitching to explain our passion for what we do.

This take is less than generous to Penrose. In a recent debate (which was less than fruitful as debates go), Penrose said this regarding this paper: > Moderator: ... saying that these effects are now experimentally established, so I tho

This evokes some strong nostalgia. My formative years were spent playing Doom IPX on LAN (DOS), Trials of Battle (OS/2) on LAN, and Galactic Civilizations, learning to code with REX, and spending time on internet chat rooms. We had a

We bought a new primary car last April, it was a toss up between an electric and a petrol/diesel, and we opted for a diesel car in the end. Reasons: range anxiety, and war anxiety. I want a Tesla, but the problem is that an electric ca

This is incredible. Not just because of the engineering that went into such a long lived machine, but also because of the ingenuity of the teams that have looked after this mission and those currently working on it. Half a century of operat

I understand that this comment probably wasn’t meant in this way but it comes off as condescending of people from only a few thousand years ago and it feels like my friends were being spoken about (personally!) We have to remember that it’

It IS dangerous. You must apply critical thinking to what’s in front of you. You can’t blindly believe what this thing generates! Much like heavy machinery, it’s a game changer when used correctly, and likewise it can be extremely damaging

The real time applications are a game changer. I haven’t dabbled with that yet! Pasting things from emails and summarising - then keeping in my notes app. Also for planning out days when on holiday.

I’ve been actively using it and it’s become my go-to in a lot of cases - Google is more for verification when I smell something off or if it doesn’t have up to date information. Here are some examples: • reviewing contract changes, explain

How incredible is it, that I'm writing software on a laptop, connected to the internet over wifi, all while being 38,000 feet in the air. And all this enabled by billions of tiny transistors made from sand. And to make this all the m

A couple of years ago I was on a walk with my wife and she asked me “what’s the point of Siri? it can hardly do anything useful outside weather and timers.” I told her a tall tale of how these things are essentially going to become our per

The auction is meant to find a stable price and can have some wild prices coming in, because no matching happens at the point of entry, the market will naturally find a level before trading commences. In this case, those wild prices were m

This brings back some memories. Long ago worked at BIGCORP which utilised JIRA for everything, including time logging in non-revenue generating teams. It was a time consuming activity everyone had to suffer. We spent around 30mins at the

This brings back some memories! The world was using Windows 95 and we were using OS/2 at home, with a sprinkle of DOS and Win NT 4.0. Anyone remember the old Stardock games for OS/2? Entrepreneur, Galactic Civilizations, and of c

The benefits are mostly realised when playing games: * Higher refresh rates means more frames can be displayed each second by the monitor * Lower latency between some input action (mouse, keyboard) and the frame being drawn on the monitor (

Always a pleasure to read Douglas Adams. As usual an engaging and insightful read. I’d be curious to know what his thoughts would have been on the current state of online ads, social networks (engineering?), and NTFs. I suppose they all

Don’t be so hard on yourself. This isn’t an uncommon feeling. The people that develop extraordinary skills are often quite ordinary. YMMV but this works for me… Have an interest in some topic? Develop that interest, deliberately. Build it
