Combating AI coding atrophy with Rust - Kaushik Gopal's Website

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

Thanks to everyone who supported my campaign to raise money to fight prostate cancer.

I raised £500!

You can still contribute if you want, although my moustache is no more, it being December and all that.

It should gift Labour with loads of simple attack lines to use against them - eg Vote Reform Get Tory Rejects and so on.

It depends on if anyone goes to see it so it’s bit of a chicken and Egg scenario

My Tom Stoppard story:

Tom's son was our flatmate at university.One day Tom drops in and we're all sitting in our sitting room, trying to look intellectual by reading broadsheet newspapers.

"What are you reading?" says Tom to me.

"The Telegraph"

"No, what are you reading?"

I could have died!

I was flatmates with his son at university, and was often regaled with great tales about his dad.

At this moment I'm thinking of the family he's left behind.

Just started listening to this.
This year Demis Hassabis predicted AI could cure all disease in a decade.

But other scientists like Claus Wilke & Derek Lowe say biology is far more complex, or progress will be limited by clinical trials & economics.

28 November = special day!

It's the day (1967) that Dame Prof. Jocelyn Bell Burnell confirmed pulsars!

We've only known about them for <60 years.

Had a chat with 👑 JBB about this earlier this year 👇

I'm after a classic sci fi book for Christmas. Something I can whizz through, a real page turner.

Hi everyone. Happy Friday!

I've been growing a moustache in November to raise money to help in the fight against prostate cancer. I've almost reached my target of £500.

Can you spare a few pounds to get me over the line?
