Really interested to see how the Nscale IPO goes, anyone who buys in will be betting on their ability to deliver massive amounts of compute based on very little concrete evidence they can do it: www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/ai-c...

Just did my annual log in to Facebook and yeah seems like the boomer radicalization programme is still in full swing

OpenAI can't even make ChatGPT work properly, yet are also on the verge of unleashing a humanity-destroying superintelligence? Seems totally legit.

Just noticed this story today. Wild stuff. I worked for Galbraith for a short time and did not enjoy the experience, but would never have pegged him as a Restorer

Iffy half from the Mighty U's, but a lovely goal to level things up. I'd bring Pelly on for Heath to give us a bit extra in midfield, haven't had much control at all
Think Owen Moxon might be the the midfielder we've been missing for at least five years (one who can pass). Terrible at corners though. #camutd
Bromley, where getting 800 people who pre-bought their tickets into a stadium on time is clearly an insurmountable task akin to bringing peace to the Middle East 🙄
Reunited with my favourite pillar, we've been through a lot together. Up the U's 🧡🖤
Incredible commentary on Reacher (which you should watch, even if the synopsis/trailer gives you the ick)
Micah@rincewind.run · 2mo agonow that we know how the new season of Reacher is (excellent), a thread about why you should watch What If A Man Was Large, The Show, in the form of a Q&A
With the 2025/26 season 48 hours away, I wrote a bit for Under the Abbey Stand on Cambridge United opening days of years gone by. Feeling cautiously optimistic about the new season, think it's gonna be fun. LFG. 🖤💛 (£/free trial): open.substack.com/pub/underthe... #CamUTD

SpaceXAI news: Musk confirms new data center in Memphis, & his firm is removing 69 temporary and polluting gas turbines it uses at the campus. This seems like great news, until you realize they have permission to build 41 permanent ones: www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/musk...

I wonder if this will be Luke Littler's peak or whether he can get even better. Hard to think there's much space to improve on this week's body of work. Just unbelievable dominance.

Shame about OnePlus, I had the 3T back in the day and still miss it. Incredibly, it cost like £300: www.wired.com/story/oneplu...

Should've anticipated Yamal turning Digne into a human exhaust vent
Matthew Gooding@mattgooding.bsky.social · 3mo agoWorryingly there don't appear to be any problematic exhaust vents in the French Death Star. Even the full-backs look ok now. Olise's assists were, obviously, absolute filth.
