As my first ultra-marathon soon approaches this weekend, I have been thinking again about my (rocky) relationship with my Garmin watch... Dominant heart rate sensors work less well for those with darker skin, undermining the reliability of the myriad computed metrics influencing our daily lives!

"Normal data centres are a steady hum in the background compared to the demand an AI workload makes on the grid." – Daniel Bizo, The Uptime Institute This seems like a low-quality article. See www.bbc.co.uk/news/article..., instead.

Huge investment is going into data centres for AI, but why are they so expensive?

Parked but not idle: The buses “will charge up their nearly 200-kilowatt-hour batteries overnight, when the power supply is at its cleanest & cheapest, then send energy back to the grid from 4 pm to 7 pm on days when the grid is strained. The district will earn revenue for the power it shares…”

My first blog post! I've thought for a while device-led age restrictions are the best solution for kids and parents, without requiring adults to upload their ID to third-party sites. Let me know what you think. #SocialMediaBan #SocialMedia #UK #KierStarmer #Privacy #Ethics #Technology

In fact the most exciting development in the messaging interoperability space is Beeper (www.beeper.com) and didn't require any intervention. But that is just vertical (client-to-service) interop and you need an actual mandate for real horizontal interop.

A single app to chat on WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and 11 other chat networks. You can search, snooze, or archive messages. And with a unified inbox, you’ll never miss a message again.

Not so sure about London buses, but most buses around where I live, and most others in the counties/cities I have visited. But those tend to be longer distance (non-electric) ones, since they’re not in London city centre.

Is “fuel” in Direct Electrification batteries? Or ‘direct’ as in over cables with no battery store, in which case it would be energy lost to eg cable resistance?

Nice long drives can only happen with low congestion and out of residential areas, i.e. out of cities! We can have both walkable cities and beautiful country roads!
