Good Lord!
Professor Silvano P. Colombano must be an absolute genius!
I mean, give him only ten years, and he might even catch up with Sci-Fi ideas from the 1950s!

He was talking about small aliens, and I remember a scene from TV where miniature aliens tried to land on earth. Looked like an invasion-fleet in close up, and then they get swallowed by a dog or something. He might have seen the same movie

That was by Douglas Adams, from Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

So NASA is taking their inspiration from the Hitch-Hiker's Guide?

They must have come up with it on a Thursday. Some people never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Aluminium-ion batteries are a step closer to becoming a reality after a UNSW Sydney chemist found a way to make the science behind the technology work. Just posted so we can have another one of those aluminum/aluminium debates
Plus, new batteries could be good.

Dr. Kim said: We found a novel way to design rechargeable aluminium batteries by employing a redox-active macrocyclic compound as the active material
In other words, it's snot, and they discovered it because the lab assistant was picking his nose whilst preparing the experiment.

When they rupture, will they blow up any differently?

Considering how bright aluminium burns, I'd say they would blow much much better!

Following its alliance with Facebook around the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX), Microsoft is open-sourcing the ONNX runtime engine for machine learning. Nothing clever to see here - this machine never learns
And that's ML.NET for "machine learning", not a .NET version of the ML programming language. That's SML.NET. /sigh

No matter what data you enter into it, it replies "Need new icons!"

How can Mcrosoft possibly be expected to write machine learning code when they themselves don't appear to learn from their own mistakes?

The MS guys are rightly proud of the way they're open-sourcing so much of their code.
It really is the best way in the world to pass the buck for bugs and **ck-ups.

Since they brought github for $7.5 billion in Microsoft stock they need to do something ....like put some files there that no one will use...

Quora announced tonight that one of their systems was hacked and has led to the exposure of approximately 100 million user's data to an unauthorized third-party. Well, their mission is "to share and grow the world’s knowledge"
That's all I know about them.

Well, at least it wasn't a plural number of users, so only one was affected.

There's now an invisible way to hack into the popular cloud container orchestration system Kubernetes. That actually took longer than I thought
"There is no simple way to detect whether this vulnerability has been used." Yay, team!

They were busy hacking Quora. And designing new icons.

And the best thing about getting into a cloud system is that you don't have to hack into a million computers to steal data from a million users.
The cloud should get awards for being the best hackers' productivity tool of the century.
