Three numbers that decide how your page feels
Three numbers decide how your page feels to the people actually using it, and each one has a clear pass mark. Google calls them Core Web Vitals: LCP, INP and CLS. The names sound like a tax form. The ideas behind them are things you've felt on every slow website you've ever closed in a huff.

In raptures about raptors policing our streets
Let’s take a short trip into the future. The year is 2045 and the CIA-seeded Moreau-esque brainchild of tech billionaires Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus and Anduril Industries, and Ben Lamm, founder of Colossal Biosciences, announces the next generation in dystopian community policing... Waraptor.

What's hot in AI: 4 to 6 Nov
Wednesday to Friday, 4 to 6 November 2026. Each edition stands alone. Midweek our browser tabs fill with render queues and model drop-downs, tools that make things. By Friday the conversation shifts to what those same tools might break, or what new systems exist to break things before the wrong people do. This week the split felt almost deliberate. Makers on one side, defenders on the other, and the rest of us in the middle trying to remember which hat we are meant to wear.

Junkermann and Musk: The Swarm
Nicole Junkermann’s investment in Swarm Technologies was originally marketed by her London-based NJF Capital investment vehicle as a technological solution with an array of civilian uses. However, since then, Swarm has been integrated into the Starlink/SpaceX network, bringing with it massive military and intelligence potential. In fact, this is a network of satellites that allows intelligence agencies and the military to track us wherever we are on the planet. Do the satellites that Musk and Junkermann have circling the entire Earth clearly mark the starting point of the global digital panopticon? Johnny Vedmore investigates.

Out of the Gravity Well
Syl's lungs burned, not from oxygen deprivation, but from the sheer, crushing weight of three gravities pressing her spine flat into the custom-molded carbon-fiber couch. This was nothing like the cinematic, roaring liftoffs of ancient science fiction. There was no shaking windows or fiery, explosive cinematic drama; instead, it was a brutal, mechanical physics equation being executed with cold precision. The falcon-like ascent profile of the heavy-lift shuttle was a calculation of raw thrust overcoming the stubborn curvature of Earth's gravity well, and every single metric Newton of that force was being transferred directly through her rib cage.
