Despite often seeming like a thin veneer of natural language processing on top of a search engine, I'm sure most users think of their voice assistants, or are willing them to be, a general AI agent. They don't want to have to care

A scientist is due to be chosen for the prestigious £50 note portrait this year, and Hawking would be a fine and hugely popular choice, but there's a lot of political pressure for it to be a woman, so I suspect this has conveniently re

The "Learn to Code" meme in its current evolution, i.e. as thrown back in the faces of journalists, is pointedly in defense of the value and difficulty of software development which the article espouses.

We've got to the stage now where if you've got a handful of .coms sharing a server, they'd have to be pretty substantial sites before your hosting costs would exceed your domain renewal fees. That's one hell of a market

I hope at least some of them are working on Alexa's seeming inability to do any kind of learning on the go. For instance if, as you repeatedly inform me, there's no station called Summer FM Groove Salad, then maybe, just maybe, I

However, truly the pond will never be the same again. Nor, chaos theory tells us, will the world. In time, across the globe, countless lives will be lived and lost which never would have been lived and lost had the rock not been dropped in

Thanks. I just Googled this, expecting it to be hard to get hold of in the UK, but was delighted to discover it was broadcast on BBC Four last night and is therefore available on iPlayer for the next 30 days. Looking forward to that.

Very well done, as always. As someone who is probably below the intended audience level my one complaint is that it wasn't clear to me why the fact that the square on the sphere has the same area as its projection on the cylinder impl
