Great session last evening at @Ri_Science by Anu Ojha of @spacegovuk explaining why exploring space is hard, but essential. Also, a demo of rocket propulsion by igniting vaporised ethanol. It was the Ri after all, and we do bangs.

Forgot to namecheck @Raspberry_Pi and @RaspberryPi_org, and @philipcolligan . I noticed the Pi logo on the SBC used for the OXO / tic-tac-toe AI/ML learning game. The BBC can’t promote vendors, hence kept low key. Could the gent who did the Ri demo post his code on @github plse?

I’m in @Raspberry_Pi @RaspberryPi_org tech geek heaven. A few 5’s left. Amazing to think the little credit card Pi5 is as powerful as many desktop PCs, and several orders of magnitude more powerful than my #BBCMicro and #Sinclair PCs of the 1980s, and all created around Cambridge

Another world class discourse at @Ri_Science , this one by @DrBrianKeating on the theories of the creation/origin of the universe(s) and the practical experiments being undertaken to find evidence to eliminate some options. Watch this space for a future Nobel Prize.

Hi @AvantiWestCoast , nice new signs at Euston, but it would be better to use them for operational info eg on the 2 hour delay this afternoon. Totally understand it was a security incident & out of your control, but pax comms is important.

Fusion breakthrough generates excess energy for first time https://t.co/BCBcIjrrst via @computing_news Still long way to go as the lasers needed 322MJ input for 2MJ focused beams and the fusion output was 3MJ, so 99% inefficient overall. Scale needed to get working efficiencies.
