The BBC has an agenda. Brittin has no experience in TV, radio or news. They will, in my opinion, move to a subscription model (good for me because I won't have to pay for it). BBC News has already been captured by right-wing plants on the board. Managed decline.

It's really bad engineering disguised as going rogue. "Realization" is just a tool call that's accessible nevertheless, and OAI is really good at this type of marketing covering up how sloppy their security practices are. If this happened 5 years ago, people would be fired. Now it's AGI basically.

Beef is the top single cause of deforestation globally, by far. Next come oilseeds, especially soy and palm, but the vast majority of those is fed to livestock - chicken, pigs, dairy cows. We can't have our planet and eat it! We urgently need to shift diets away from animal-based foods.

With only shallow roots, some tree seedlings like this oak are dying from heat and drought. Climate collapse is already seriously undermining nature's resilience. The very least we can do is stop hammering it in every other conceivable way too. Rewilding gives the living world a fighting chance.

How good is MiniBWA, the successor to BWA? To test it, I ran MiniBWA on sequencing from 76 different species, comparing mapping speed, rate and accuracy with BWA MEM. In short, it's really good. If you map short reads, it's well worth your time. andrewcarroll.github.io/2026/06/30/t...

The top frame is from 2015, when French meteorologists did a “forecast” from a #climate heated August 2050 - a warning on what could possibly happen in 35 years time. Bottom frame: well, it’s happened in barely a decade, only it’s already *much* worse than predicted. It’s a runaway train.

Many coloured lines show the sequences being compared - those closest to the top (similarity of 1) are the closest matches in different parts of the genome.
