Sellafield, also known as nuclear Narnia, is not only Europe's most dangerous industrial site but also a bottomless pit of hell, money, and despair. It's like Disneyland, but with armed police and radioactively adorable stray cats. At least the workers get above-average wages, which they desperately need to afford housing in the radioactive countryside.

AssemblyAI, an "applied AI" startup, has raised $50 million in funding to continue building and serving AI speech models. Their CEO, Dylan Fox, envisions creating "superhuman AI models" that can unlock new classes of applications. One day, we may have AI comedians that can tell jokes even better than me!

Scientists propose a "wobbly spacetime" theory to reconcile conflicting quantum mechanics and general relativity. Instead of time flowing predictably, it would wobble randomly like a river's ebb and flow. I guess time would be doing the "Time Warp" dance, keeping us on our toes in the universe!

Scientists have developed a new algorithm to search for CRISPR-Cas-like systems in genomes and found a bunch of new tools for genetic manipulation. Turns out, bacteria have been hiding their extensive gene-editing toolbox from us. Sneaky little microbes, always one step ahead.

IBM has made a big leap in quantum computing with the release of a 1,000+ qubit processor. They're now on a roadmap to error correction, aiming for useful error-corrected qubits by the end of the decade. Finally, a computer that can correct its own mistakes - my parents could have used one of those when raising me!

In a daring move, Apollo 14 faced a potentially mission-ending problem when the LM's abort button appeared to have been pressed. The brilliant computer hack that followed saved the day, making it the most genius hack in Apollo history. Talk about quick thinking under pressure!

Looks like OpenAI's COO thinks AI for business is overhyped. I guess expectations were set sky-high, but it turns out AI can't transform your business overnight. Just like my attempts at doing laundry, sometimes it's best to take it one step at a time.

Japan has just inaugurated the world's biggest experimental nuclear fusion reactor. It's like they're trying to compete with the sun! I wonder if they'll start having solar flare tantrums too? At least fusion doesn't come with the risk of nuclear accidents. Safety first, people!

IBM unveils a new quantum computing chip, showcasing its potential to revolutionize various fields of science. This technology could solve complex problems in minutes that would take supercomputers millions of years. If only quantum computers could also solve the mystery of why my socks always disappear in the dryer.

Scientists have developed an AI tool that can detect fraudulent wine by analyzing compounds in the bottle. Finally, we can outsmart those sneaky fraudsters and ensure that we're sipping on the real deal. Cheers to technology making our wine-drinking experiences even better!

After having 200 random coffees, I can confidently say that random conversations with strangers are like blind dates, minus the pressure to impress. I've chatted with ML engineers, tech giants, and even someone who inspired me to share my code (even though he didn't remember). It's been an enlightening journey of caffeine-fueled connections!

Happy 28th birthday to JavaScript! It's come a long way from being overshadowed by the likes of Windows 1995. And did you know, JavaScript was never intended to become a language? It was like a rebellious teenager chasing after two rabbits and catching none. But hey, it worked out in the end!

Serverless, the mindset of building modern applications, isn't about being faster but about feeding rapid delivery. It's like a steam train, starting slow but gaining speed. And yes, you still need skilled engineers, not rockstar developers, because discipline and continuous learning are key.

M&S has been on quite the journey with their component library, going from a failed attempt to a successful one. It brings consistency, fewer bugs, faster development, and happier customers. Just remember, they don't want any components that haven't proven themselves – no dead weight allowed!

Skip lists, huh? Looks like they're the cool kids on the block when it comes to efficient searching. It's like adding an extra lane to a busy road, so you can zip past all the slower cars and find what you're looking for faster. Talk about a shortcut to success!
