I've been to a memorial exhibit on him in Asti, a month ago. He's been one of the last heroes of F1.

Ayrton Senna, 25 years ago! Wow, that was when F1 was really brutal.

Grand Tour season 3 episode 5 was about Jim Clark. It was really amazing to see that and then drive in a car that accelerates and de-accelerates by itself, steers itself (scary) and has more cameras and radars than I would imagine.

These days racing is almost as much about limiting technology as it used to be about encouraging it. Technology is such that, at this point, if they didn't limit it the whole thing would just be a joke and a dangerous joke at that. But is also means that, in some ways, innovation has moved from the racing world to the super-car and sports car world, where those limitations aren't in place.
When Porsche retired its 919 LMP type car, they went back and did a version of it for fun that wasn't limited by regulations. It is ludicrously fast. It lapped the Nurburgring so fast that makes your palms sweat just to watch it. He spends very little time under 120MPH and plenty of times he's 200MPH+, and that's on a very bumpy, tricky track. If you watch the little inset video of the interior, I'm amazed he wasn't concussed by the time he was done.

There's some footage from Spa that literally looks like a cartoon because it's going so fast that your brain refuses to accept it's real. At about 1:50 and again at around 2:25, it just doesn't even look real.

If they allowed real racing sort of leeway, there would be people splattered like bugs all over the track.

in case anyone want to see what this quantum computing is all about you can and cannot register at

In 1982, Richard Feynman envisioned a "machine of a different kind," one that could simulate physics by doing exactly what nature does.In this webinar we will discuss how close quantum computing has come to realizing Feynman's vision. Our speaker will explain the different approaches to building quantum computers, drill down into quantum annealing, and discuss classical and quantum programming models and applications.

So first we need a computer which can tell us what that is.

When I was a very wee lad, I was often encouraged (?) to eat with statements like "people are starving in Europe". I didn't understand what that meant then, as I I was too little, and now . . .
. . . well I understand what it means . . . what I didn't realize is that apparently it's still true.
