Hey UK #energy people - an organisation I’m working with has been quoted £12k to have the gas supply removed and capped after they switched to heat pumps. Any suggestions for how they might avoid these charges? @richardlowes.bsky.social
It was trying to join a pier-to-pier network.
Not just another AI movie. An autonomous delivery robot drove off the end of a pier in San Diego and quickly sank. The company called it an isolated navigation error. Was this the first example of AI committing suicide due to workplace stress? No, it was pier pressure.

World's press gathers to photograph something the cat brought in
Larry laid his mouse in front of the press to be photographed. Lest you ask, this is a real photograph via the Press Association.

I created this animation to explain 7-segment display multiplexing for a forum post back in the noughties. It can now be found all over the internet; eg, instrumentationtools.com/seven-segmen...
This is doing the rounds of Facebook again. Pages getting 100s of shares & using it to boost their following with their own watermark and no acknowledge of the source. Fuck all you can really do about it. It's not by "Unknown". It's from my book Ring The Hill: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...
Indeed, it's a heat-shunt for soldering. This image might have given more of a clue - Antex being a well-known British maker of soldering equipment. 1/2
