Feeling the same way, but I think we will regret what we wished for when the news changes topic

Bluetooth tracker hidden in a postcard and mailed to a warship exposed its location — $5 gadget put a $585 million Dutch ship at risk for 24 hours A postcard spy

Three Amazing Stories:

- Someone posted a Bluetooth tracker to a warship and tracked its location

- Military personnel are still uploading their running achievements to apps and revealing where they are

- Sailors compromised their security by sneaking a Starlink terminal on board their ship

How interesting. I hadn't heard of this but your post made me look it up. Apparently it's a phrase that has been around for a while.

I feel that too much reporting about politics (and now organised crime) in Europe about the USA and Brazil omits Evangelical and Pentecostal aspect. Maybe UK soon too

You may have ruined biblioteca but you have revealed a truth about discotheque.

It would be a quality issue or 'mistakes' if the numbers were underestimated as often as they are overestimated.

If they are routinely downplayed or consistently overstated that would suggest bias.

Unification of Italy - Wikipedia

Italy itself is surprisingly more recent than many people imagine

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

OK here's my muted word list for the next 24 hours.

Already bored with speculation over what might or might not have been said in meetings that may or may not have happened.

If anything important actually happens it will be in the news.

Fairly sure there is more to come from @theguardian.com

I guess these BlueSky outages will mean that everyone will end up on the Quiet Posters feed

Very interesting, thanks Tim.

It reminded me that forgetting is seen as fundamental to computation at the physical hardware level (Landauer's Principle).

Wonderful that this echoes all the way up through layers of abstraction to something like Strix - with increased entropy still the enemy.

No doubt doing so made you millions of pounds. I can understand the temptation.

Streisand has created a complete shopping mall in the basement of her Malibu home. The premise of Jonathan Tolins’s fantasy is that an out-of-work actor, Alex Moore, is employed to service this subterranean collection of shops housing antiques, dolls and dresses.

James I don't think the shops were really fully staffed. In the article you shared. The play is described as a fantasy.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Aaargh! I thought the Met had binary search explained to them but they are STILL using this excuse!!! onodi.co/bisect/

I think you are completely right.

One addition - some people would now use their new leisure time vibe-coding.

This could broaden the availability of leisure and lead to many useful but hitherto uneconomic software innovations.

When Andrew Lloyd Webber, the Lord Lloyd Webber, as we must now say, bought his Canaletto at Christie’s he paid the £10 million bill by Access in order to earn the air miles

Maybe candidates, as well as elected MPs, should declare their interests & sources of funds. It's a bit late once they have been voted in

His reaction to Rafe Spall's Nigel is brilliantly funny. I have thought about it every day since I saw it. Made me reappraise Rory Stewart.

One reason LLMs give uncanny, psychosis-inducing responses could be because they were trained on science fiction.

In your experience does the loud aggressive litigant typically buy shares in the other party shortly before the value-boosting compromise is agreed?

The Brazilian economy is growing and crime is down.

Expecting any minute for them to need to use Two-Factor Authentication with a phone they left behind.

Comma in the wrong place but hopefully meaning is clear

Are you sure this is real? It seems AI-generated. The close-up has features that the wide shot does, not such as a flat arch and a nested mini-arch.

Very interesting read.

I am not going to be able to latch onto the latest cool trend because several extremely clever people who I've known for years and respect immensely are currently producing very good work with AI. It would be more socially convenient if this wasn't true but it is.
