EU gas is above €90/MWh, its highest since Dec 2022. Brent is above $115, its highest since June 2022. The EU has already paid €100bn+ extra for oil and gas since Hormuz closed. Not one extra molecule. Best defence: electrify. janrosenow.substack.com/p/europes-be...

A downed or forced-down Geran-5 jet-powered drone/missile in the Odesa region. Its latest iteration is fitted with a V-tail and low aspect ratio wings alongside a refined fuselage. The system represents a new branch in the evolution of Russia’s jet-powered Geran/Shahed family. #Russia

Cloudflare just released a blog on a cross-tenant data exposure vulnerability I reported. The vuln is in Cloudflare Workers AI’s GLM-5.3 provider. This was later also reported upstream to SGLang. Check out their post here: blog.cloudflare.com/kv-cache-exp...

Wow, I had no clue. It explains though why I felt that some highly rated movies I saw were pretty average...

What most people don't know: when you fill up a petrol car most of the energy never moves it. Petrol car: 13–21% of the crude oil's energy reaches wheels. Electric car on today's UK grid: 43–45%. Electric car on wind+solar: 77–80%. That's why we don't need to replace fossil energy one for one.

Because apparently this needs to be said: if you’re part of a coordinated disclosure process the appropriate thing to do is to talk to the rest of the group before you make unilateral decisions because the process is *coordinated*. It’s right there in the name Don’t agree to that? Don’t be in one

The ship that sank off Romania near Constanta was likely hit by a drone, Digi24 reports. Rescuers saved nine of the 13 crew despite bad weather, one person died, and three remain missing. The crew included 10 Ukrainians and 3 Azerbaijanis. www.digi24.ro/stiri/actual...

In September, the AI company Anthropic claimed its models were approaching “superhuman capabilities for geolocating outdoor photos”. Bellingcat put that claim to the test by benchmarking the performance of Anthropic and other LLMs. Here’s what we found: www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

Copilot cleaning up a messy OneDrive folder, creating folders and moving files by purpose, beat every flashy demo for me. AI is moving from summarizing files to acting on them. Who governs that? buckleyplanet.com/2026/10/oned...

I have just released Lander for the ARM Evaluation System. So that's the first ever ARM game running on the first ever ARM chip. See this Stardot thread for details: stardot.org.uk/forums/viewt... Fly safe! #retrocomputing #retrogaming #bbcmicro #archimedes

Good advice, I'd add reverse depth testing to the list developer.nvidia.com/blog/visuali...

While EA shuts down BioWare, developers of The Sims, Skate, and Battlefield say they've also lost their jobs https://bit.ly/4z5IIpJ

Now? Execs see games as widgets. *They are the ones who are wrong.* They have reduced the passion and hard work of thousands upon thousands of great game developers to just numbers to be shuffled around for the benefit of shareholders who know nothing about what they've invested in.

This would be like me saying I had never heard of Mass Effect until hearing about the closure of BioWare yesterday

Me too. Many commentators say that the Trump-Putin diesel deal is about the midterms, but it doesn't fit as a campaign strategy. It makes much more sense as a helping hand to Putin at the verge of Russia's winter campaign — with the aim of making winter more miserable for Ukrainians.

What happens after the midterms? In the new season of “Autocracy in America,” @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu talks with the political, cultural, and economic leaders working to reverse the slide toward autocracy. Sign up now—the first episode airs November 10:

So, I decided to hand this task to an RTX Spark running Hermes. After a few builds, it created a custom translation layer to rebuild the 3D geometry for RTX Remix. And a few iterations later: a fully path-traced MK4! Still WIP but incredible! 🤯

JPEG XL vs AVIF for web use-cases. Jake Archibald benchmarked both: AVIF produces smaller lossy files for photos, screenshots, and transparency, while JPEG XL wins at lossless. His default is AVIF 4:4:4 at high effort. #image #performance jakearchibald.com/20...

We're developing a service station for the Moon. 🌕 OASIS will provide power, communications and data services to scientific experiments, helping them survive the two-week lunar night and operate for years.

It hadn’t occurred to me that Trump views Putin as a fellow billionaire, but it’s true. Putin’s net worth is estimated at $70B-$200B. Trump, who made $2+ billion last year, no doubt respects anyone who manages to make so much money in office and to cling to power for so long. wapo.st/47o44SX

A burning Novator armored vehicle evacuated its crew after being hit by a Russian FPV drone. The Novator drove away from its position while on fire and covered around 20 km to transport a National Police rifle battalion crew in Chernihiv region to their base. All police officers survived.

Ten years ago the diesel scandal was at its peak. Now EVs are the clear winner, and still the (German) auto industry is fighting to be allowed to sell ICE cars ten years from now. Have they learned nothing?
