Toulouse are the most successful club in Champions Cup history, winning the competition on six occasions Tries: Capuozzo, penalty try, Brennan, Thomas, Remue 2, R Ntamack Cons: R Ntamack 3 Toulouse denied Exeter Chiefs a famous Champions Cup victory in France, fighting back to win a frenetic pool game with 14 men following Rodrigue Neti's first-half red card. Exeter had the chance to force a draw but, with the clock in the red, Henry Slade missed a penalty from about 40 metres out. Zack Wimbush, starting on the wing for Exeter in place of injured England international Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, scored a hat-trick of tries as the 2020 champions fell just short of winning a classic contest.

Wikipedia’s 68m articles have been consulted trillions of times. Not bad for a website that has barely changed since it was founded 20 years ago A few years ago, I was struck by the tension between how Wikipedia was used, and how it was talked about. Everyone was on it all the time, and yet its reputation had stalled at “don’t trust it”, because it was the “free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”. Clearly people were trusting it, so much so it had become part of the fabric of everyday life since it was founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger in 2001. But despite the fact it now has been consulted trillions of times by billions of people (English Wikipedia alone is 5.2bn words long), it

People who study how to convince people are more trusted than people trained to talk in technical jargon about specific fields. Shocker there. People are emotionally driven. Everyone is, to an extent. Scientists are less likely to use that to support their point, or they’ll have emotionally displeasing things to say. Eh… shitty people exist outside of the United States. We just happen to be very loud about it. Take, for example, the British. They’re huge assholes, too. Have been for centuries. And everyone hated them the most long before we Americans came along. And, of course, it makes total sense that our country is one of their offspring, so to speak. Funny how the Canadians turned out

In an interview on NBC, Zelenskyy said the US had “unblocked” intelligence on impending Russian ballistic missile strikes, which have pounded the country’s energy infrastructure as winter draws in. “It was blocked for some period of time. And then it was deblocked by the

Officers determine post by Sarah Helm, seen to endorse Palestine Action, does ‘not meet the criminal threshold’. Police in the United Kingdom have determined that a social media post by the wife of Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s national security adviser that appears to endorse Palestine Action , a group proscribed in the country as a “terrorist” organisation, does not merit a criminal investigation. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson on Saturday said that officers looked at Sarah Helm’s post and ruled that it “did not meet the criminal threshold. No further police action will be taken.” The police had said on Friday that Helm’s post was “being assessed to determine whether any further

In a social media post ahead of Israel’s October 27 election, Trump calls Netanyahu a ‘Strong, Brave, and Brilliant’ leader. United States President Donald Trump has issued an endorsement of Israel’s incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing a close race in parliamentary elections scheduled for October 27. In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump praised the Israeli leader for being an ally of the US in its war on Iran. He added that he was giving his “Complete and Total Endorsement” to Netanyahu. The US president’s backing comes nine days before the Israeli election — and after speculation that it might not come at all. Trump had refused to endorse Netanyahu earlier this

I was very slow to use AI coding agents. It seems like a lot of programmers never actually liked programming and are thrilled to have a machine do it for them. But I like programming! That's the fun part! Even for programmers who like programming, I know a lot of people feel like they have to use AI to keep up with the competition, especially in a tough job market. But my business is actually having one of its best years ever. So I figured, if I like programming, why not keep programming? I wasn't blind to what was going on around me, though. A lot of slop and hype, but a lot of real stuff too. Engineers I have respected for years saying they no longer write code. Non-programmers
