Scientists have discovered that the perfect amount of sleep for an adult is five more minutes.

This week we hit the streets in London to send a message to the UK government: Don’t Scan Me! We’re calling on lawmakers to support Lord Clement-Jones’ amendment to the #OnlineSafetyBill that would remove private messaging platforms from the surveillance measures. #DontScanMe #StopTheSpyClause #privacy #e2ee

Is this a hit for SpaceX?

64 bits of coremem. This is probably the pitch I'll use if I make a big plane. It's surprisingly quick to lace the write lines once you learn a few tricks, so much so that I'm less inclined to design a jig to do it. (The sense line however is likely going to suck so I have this board set up for four sense lines if necessary.) 32ga wire as I've determined that the required current is less than 300mA.

51% of polled Britons do not want to contribute to Charles's Coronation.

An excitable young lady from Sevenoaks commented: "Why are we giving 50 million pounds to a man who has a private wealth of 600 million?"

Spying on families that share their kid’s pictures is abusing their right to privacy. As a dad I don’t want some creepy spook or algorithm scanning my family chat.

@scalzi It's a misapplication of AI. What any search company *should* be doing is training language models to detect SEO and ruthlessly derank spammy or junk content from the search results.

But Google isn't a search company. Google is the advertising behemoth formerly known as Doubleclick, with a search subsidiary to sucker in the public eyeballs.

Google doesn't work for you or me.

‘An unprecedented threat’

WhatsApp, Session, Signal, Element, Threema, Viber and Wire join forces to oppose the attack on encryption in the Online Safety Bill.

They call on the government to think again. #DontScanMe #StopTheSpyClause #e2ee #ukpolitics #privacy

I don't really want "AI" in my search results. What I actually want are search results that accurately correspond to my queries. So far the "AI" tech companies have been showing off tends to do a lot of fabulation; that doesn't bode well for good search results.
