As a wise meme I saw the other day stated, worrying about things works: 95% of the things I worry about never happen!

That’s a lot of wasted green if they don’t play golf.

Thank you, Ozzy. R.I.P.

Mick Jagger would like to have a word.

Those Damn Crows - Let’s Go Psycho!

I’m old enough to have gone through a number of these technology bubbles, so much so that I haven’t paid much attention to them for a fair while. This AI bs feels a bit different, though. It seems to me that lots more people have completely lost their minds this time.

Like all bubbles, this too will end up in the same rubbish heap.

Frivolous automations is the way! I have a WLED strip go on 5 pm when a wheely bin needs to go out, with colour matching next day’s bin collection.

Or go with WLED software on a suitable wifi connected controller (e.g. QuinLED).

One of the best ones I ever got was an ‘engineer’ who described driving around in his van ‘fixing things’ applying for a machine learning engineer position.

I happen to have BBC News on just now. Besides factually reporting on what Trump said, over the past hour they’ve interviewed a number of people about the topic each offering different perspective. Many of them commented on what utter rubbish Trump’s statements were. I’d say BBC reporting on the topic has been factual, balanced and to a good standard I’d expect of them.

There is quite a bit more than just the cooling system in the picture. Coax cables take control signals from room temperature to the quantum processor and readout signals back. The signal paths include attenuation, filtering and amplification in various stages. The processor itself is in a magnetic shield, which is the grey cylinder at the bottom.

It really is a genuine question. I want to understand some logic, anything at all, that compels Russia to behave the way they are.

I’m far beyond trying to convince anybody and way too old to care what people say. Occasionally, and seemingly today is one of those occasions, I quite like to call out idiots. It is a small pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless.

Quite how you concluded that my post was an excuse to post a link to BBC is beyond my admittedly limited comprehension. The logic that took you to that conclusion is intriguing, so please do explain.

You further imply that BBC is an iffy source. For me, that is a devastating perspective. Would you kindly help me find sources that are less iffy, please?

What is it with old people these days? Just lazing about and sipping lattes, probably.

However, wiping eyes with fresh chillies is clearly preferable to either.

Makes me wonder, is either of them interested in cyber security?
