Always fun trying to cofirm a site is down, going to downdetctor and downdetector being down. I feel that site needs to not use Cloudflare.

I'm becoming less confident that Wednesday will make it to zero points this season.
Sheffield Wednesday have been handed a further six-point deduction due to payment obligations. The Club’s former Owner, Dejphon Chansiri, has been prohibited from being an owner or director of any EFL Club for a period of three years. (Sky sports)
Sheffield Wednesday have filed for administration. The 2nd tier English club will now face a 12-point deduction (they are already bottom of the league), (BBC Sport)

I'm hoping for a Mercedes 1-2 in Abu Dhabi to make everything a bit calmer for the championship.

I've mostly been okay watching this race, but certainly if Norris doesn't get these overtakes i'm going to HATE next week.

I was hoping the response would be "Yeah, the best strategy would be a Safety Car, can you please achieve that Oscar"

Well, if what you want is a busy pit lane. This rule has worked.

Don't call it AI or LLM. Call it the Expensive Mistake Generator.
This great thread makes a point I've been trying to convey for years. Calling all data-driven prediction or decision software "AI" is a huge gift to LLM hypemen, who want people to believe, incorrectly, that LLM data centers are crucial for solar forecasting or operating buildings and power grids.
Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

This #InternationalMensDay we’re reminded that suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. We all have mental health, and talking about it matters. Check in with the men in your life. Reach out. A small conversation can make a big difference.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

Is Norris just putting in enough extra laps after Piastri's or to ensure he doesn't get the McLaren and pit curse?
