A professor of robotics once told me that these things are not robots because they do work within an internal, controlled environment. A robot instead operates in or interacts with an external, uncontrolled environment. I don't think t

There are basically no cards available on the consumer market. Nobody is making money in this space. I was looking this week for a replacement for the GPU I bought in 2014 for £80 (r7 260x). The only sub-£600 card available on any site wh

Most hill figures in the UK were actually carved in the late 18th and 19th centuries, due to a retro fascination with them at the time. Until now, I think only the Uffington Horse was dated before the Early Modern period. It's from ~10

Falcon 9 has lost 2 payloads over ~120 flights. One was lost on the pad prior to dress rehearsal, so doesn't really count. There were 135 shuttle flights, with 2 crews lost (1 on the way up). I would much prefer the odds of flying on F
