Switzerland has a food stockpile sufficient to feed its entire population for three months and is increasing it to a year. The UK government’s advice to households is to have three days’ worth of food in their cupboards. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
Applications close soon for this summer's excellent Maxwell Impulse accelerator at Cambridge (mainly for Postdocs considering starting companies) - details at www.linkedin.com/posts/impuls...
We are approaching the 10th anniversary of the untimely death of David J.C. MacKay, who was a huge inspiration to me and to many others.
If you were inspired by David too, please add your tribute here and spread the word. Thanks!

Interesting how rate limits in Claude Code (in particular) and OpenAI Codex (to a lesser extent) force me to alternate between them. If they'd never enforced them, I'd've stayed in one.
In UK, EVs outsold petrol cars for the first time last month. Result!

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.
Gen Z women aren't playing around.
Come on Microsoft, every other video player in the whole wide world uses the *space bar* for play/pause. Who on earth thought that "Alt + K" would be a good choice?!
Likewise (in other apps) the refusal to accept that zooming is
done with the +/- keys.
WOW. Posting also to the 🧪 feed
They could start by actually supporting device rotation properly in their app - I'm tired of vertical content in a horizontal window in a vertical screen
Wow, @ben-jamez.bsky.social really is a star with his summaries of Batteries, Hydrogen, Fusion and SAF (not to mention his breakdown of electricity bills)

Nice. Any further thoughts on the FLOPS of an atom bomb?
Also, almost every single post contains a spelling or grammatical mistake. It would literally cost £20/month to solve that problem. And it doesn't look great.
I know that BBC is not on Bluesky, but I wish they'd sort their app. Showing portrait video in a landscape slot which doesn't respect device orientation isn't great. @bbcstever.bsky.social
Whoever decided that the power button on the Microsoft Surface should be a normal keyboard key, right next to the backspace key, should be taken out and... given a stiff talking to. "Ooo, I can squeeze it in there, it will look neat".
Apparently a Conservative from Valletta fearful of flooding, stopped investing in a high-rise garage and instead built a ship for his koi collection.
It was a

Enjoy your weekend.
Big day for Pod Point, shaking-up the industry again: pod-point.com/electric-car...
Not amazingly impressed by Gemini so far - offered help setting-up a Firebase demo project, but within a couple of minutes (and no direct input from me) the project was in a state where it threw errors which Gemini claimed it could fix, but repeatedly couldn't.
Seems like @support.bsky.team doesn't really care about Android: videos don't play, incoming "share" isn't recognized (just opens app), timeline jumps about...
