As with Tumblr, Iâve never really used OnlyFans. But you donât have to be on the platforms to recognize the obvious thing both apps have in common: banning porn is a dumb idea. OnlyFans today announced (via Bloomberg) that it will bar creators from posting sexually explicit content starting in October. While some nude photos and videos will still be allowed, the move comes off as misguided at best and... Read more âș

One of the most iconic scenes of the Star Wars film franchise is the moment lovable droid R2D2 rolls up to Obi Wan Kenobi and offers him a virtual reality helmet. Oh you donât remember that scene?

But according to a new report by Cornell and Stanford University researchers in the US, it may be no better for the climate â and potentially a fair bit worse â than continuing to use fossil natural gas, which currently keeps 85% of UK homes warm. In the... Read more âș

Itâs finally happening: weâre allowed to travel again. For the first time in months (or years for some), we can journey to meet family and friends. For me, this means finally getting back to the UK without having to go through an expensive quarantine. For you, it could mean something slightly different. But we probably have one thing in common, especially if youâre reading this: we both love stuff. And,... Read more âș

The Holy Grail of AI research is called âgeneral artificial intelligence,â or GAI. A machine imbued with general intelligence would be capable of performing just about any task a typical adult human could. The opposite of general AI is narrow AI â the kind we have today. For example, you can ask Alexa to do all sorts of stuff but when you try to get it to do something itâs... Read more âș

This week the US government opened a formal investigation into Teslaâs Autopilot automated driving system due to a series of collisions with emergency vehicles. Since 2018, Tesla cars driven in Autopilot have crashed into parked first-responder vehicles 11 times, resulting in 17 people being injured and one death. While that sounds serious, I wouldnât bet on the investigation to lead to real change. How do you miss an emergency vehicle?!... Read more âș

More experienced people in the field tend to be Python-evangelists anyway.
