I must say, it was difficult hearing the hurt in Gary Neville's voice at the end of that game, so I turned up the volume on the TV and could hear it much better.
Bournemouth score a third through Evanilson.

1969: Beswick: Where City's stadium is now...Those long winding empty roads with so much wasteland. My gran had a pub round there mid 70's, vaguely remember! Different world, different Manchester.

Higher score than Fable 5.1 and Astra 6, wild stuff.
Kimi K3.1 Pro launches at 4th on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index scoring 55, making large gains in agentic performance; it will be the leading open-weights model once its weights are published @Kimi_Moonshot's new reasoning model gains 11 points over Kimi K3 (max, 44). It trails only Claude Opus 5.5 (max with fallback, 58), Claude Sonnet 5.5 (max with fallback, 56), and Muse Wonder Full (max, 56) on the Intelligence Index. Once the weights for K3.1 Pro are released it will be the highest-scoring open weights model and the gap between the leading open weights and proprietary models on the Intelligence Index will narrow from 12 points to 3. Key results: ➤ Large gains in agentic performance: Kimi K3.1 Pro scores 3rd on GDPval-AA with 1,846 Elo, up 312 Elo from Kimi K3, behind only Claude Opus 5.5 (1,866 Elo) and Muse Wonder Full (1,857 Elo). Kimi K3.1 Pro also achieves the highest score of any model on Terminal-Bench 4.0. K3.1 Pro scores 67%, up from 13% for Kimi K3 and ahead of Claude Sonnet 5.5 (64%). AutomationBench-AA, which tests agentic SaaS workflows, rises from 58% to 73%. ➤ Gains in other evals are more moderate: Humanity's Last Exam rises from 47% to 52%, CritPt from 23% to 25%, and SciCode from 59% to 61%. AA-Omniscience Index rises from 20 to 30, as the hallucination rate falls from 53% to 44% and accuracy rises from 48% to 51%. ➤ Cost per Task roughly equal to Kimi K3 at $1.98 per Task: K3.1 Pro uses 55K output tokens per Intelligence Index task, 14% more than Kimi K3 at 48K, while its first-party token prices are 33% lower. Additional model details: ➤ Context window: 1M tokens. ➤ Size: 2.8T total, 104B active parameters ➤ Input modalities: Text and image ➤ Weights and license: Weights currently not published, Moonshot is expected to release the weights soon after launch ➤ Pricing: $2/$10/$0.20 per 1M input/output/cache hit tokens, 33% lower than Kimi K3 on all three rates. Congratulations to the team at @Kimi_Moonshot on the release!

Oh my goodness this has to be right. Instead of generating a random 256-bit number they generated a random number between 0 and 256. That’s how they got 4, 66, 155, 156, 230 and 237.
Replying to @itsnebulalol
They misread 256 bit as 0-256, I bet

London bus fares are massively subsidised by tube fares and the taxpayer. In some contexts, like buses that feed tubes or rail, this can be defended, but a large fraction of buses just duplicate rail, albeit at a cost for everyone else. One of the many drains on investment.
Annual bus subsidy in London has ballooned from about £700m to £1.2bn this year and £1.7bn in 2029. Totally unsustainable, a network heading for bankruptcy. The extra 10p won't fill much of the gap because the deficit per journey is about 65p (£1.2bn against 1.8bn journeys).

One of the things I love about my role as a Minister in Number 10 North is that I get to work on progressing projects across the country to improve our economy. A bonus is that sometimes the boss lets me hold meetings in Number 10 Downing Street! So it was good to meet earlier with Peter Lowy, Director of Leeds United, to discuss how we can work with @TracyBrabin on the big regeneration planned at Elland Road. Yes, we discussed the tram too.

Learning from this discourse that the whole USA is in a prisoner’s dilemma where they have 3% interchange fees that get passed through to the cost of goods so they can all make a hobby out of getting some of it back.

It's convenient the dominant content style became fast-cut clip sequences just in time for ai that can only generate short clips. Almost enough to make you believe in the hyperobject reaching backwards through time to effect its own creation

Encore plus héroïque avec le contexte : ce chef gaulois était en congé et s’est rendu à son magasin en s’inquiétant pour la sécurité de ses employés quand il a appris que la manif dégénérait
Lors de la journée de mobilisation nationale du 17 octobre, Pierre Collin, gérant du Micromania de Nice a été agressé alors qu'il tentait de protéger sa boutique. La séquence est devenue virale. Nous l'avons rencontré à la sortie du commissariat de Nice où il a porté plainte.
