I enjoyed this a lot. Proper hard sci-fi with a nice satirical edge, while also a proper well-constructed whodunit. Recommended!
Today’s the last episode of MURDER ON MARS! 14:15, BBC Radio 4. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride and all the deaths/twists/jokes along the way. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
(And if you haven’t listened yet, binge now! It’s all on BBC Sounds. My first radio piece and I’m super proud of all involved.)

My first computer was a Spectrum. I loved typing in programs from magazines (and inevitably having to debug the mistakes I'd made in typing them in).

This is why it's important to have Arts/Humanities courses AND STEM courses. It all fits together, they compliment each other.
There's no such thing as useless education.

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.

Still the best gorilla joke 128 years later:
![The Best Gorilla
Joke of 1897
Gorilla: Did you hear about the gorilla who escaped from the zoo?
Zookeeper: No. I did not.
Gorilla: That is because I am a quiet gorilla.

the amount of people who still don’t understand this utterly foundational fact is staggering
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
