Revealed: UK’s multibillion AI drive is built on ‘phantom investments’

Exclusive: Rented datacentres and unrealised supercomputer site raise questions for Starmer’s push to ‘mainline AI into veins of economy’

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects"

"The core concept is that, by mounting a mirror roughly perpendicular to the bottom of a south-facing window, it reflects sunlight that would have fallen on the insulated exterior of the building through the window instead. With the right sized mirror and mounting hardware, the functional 'size' of the window for solar gain calculations could be increased by almost 50%, potentially providing Burlington, Vermont windows with Boulder, Colorado performance!"

From the Pirate Bay to Ghost mirrors - Negative PID

In the early and mid 2000s, a small number of piracy platforms did more than distribute copyrighted material. They shaped how the internet itself was used.

Negative PID

What now?

"[Physicist Chien-Shiung Wu's] greatest work came later, when she devised a mind-blowing experiment that showed the world we see in the mirror doesn't obey the same laws of physics."

Attached: 1 image Happy birthday #physicist Chien-shiung Wu (1912-1997), who came up with a truly beautiful experiment to test whether the weak force conserves parity (whether beta decay would be the same if reflected in the mirror)! In my print on the left I show Wu in her lab & a schematic diagram of her experiment. On the right I show her reflection, as in the mirror, & the mirror reflection of the experimental set-up & the shocking result, 🧵1/n #linocut #sciart #physics #womenInSTEM #histsci #mastoArt
