Back in the 1980s Tudor Griffiths taught Computer Science in the local school. Two maxims he repeated almost every class have stuck with me for decades. "A computer is exactly as smart as the person telling it what to do" and "A computer can and will make mistakes, and it'll do it a million […]

A cartoon depicts two dogs standing on a sidewalk, looking contemplative. One dog expresses frustration with the line, "I bark and I bark but I never feel like I effect real change." In the background, there's a storefront window reflecting a city scene

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
Graphic showing a single lane 9 m wide track for metros, a 35 m wide road for buses with four lanes, and a 175 m wide road for cars with seven lanes, making the point that one single track of Metro replaces seven lanes of car traffic. Mobility in cities is about space.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

When ants fight they don't always fight to the death. Sometimes they see which ant has longer legs by standing as tall as they can next to each other. Sometimes two ants who enjoy boating will get into such a fight near the water. This is called "The pair of docks of taller ants"
Meat ants engaged in ritualized fighting. They do not know how to operate boats. That was just for the bit.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...
The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass.  It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots.  This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.
