» I recently joined a Facebook group that supposedly represented Kat Timpf, a regular presenter on the Gutfeld! show. I posted a couple of comments and a couple of weeks later, I received a tag in social media purportedly from Dana Perino, a regular on the Fox show The Five. Initially this was a surprise. Why would a famous TV star want to chat with me? After a few chats, it became obvious something was off. The tag name in Messenger was just Dana Perino but the conversation had a few structural errors, not something a former press secretary would make.

Microsoft's quantum conundrum
Life, James Hein, Published on 12/03/2025
» If you've been keeping up with quantum computer news, you will have seen the Microsoft Marketing announcement on topological q-bits and a potential quantum computer in a few years. I was planning to write about this in some detail, but it turns out the reality may not meet the marketing. Surprising, I know, but the announcement implying Microsoft has q-bit technology ready to go and scale is speculative. They don't have any physical models, just some tests and a theory that has already been challenged by the physics community. It will take a while to go through all the published data, but the Microsoft quantum computer could be decades, not years, in the future, if ever.

Djinn is a strong spirit
Life, Story: Tatat Bunnag, Published on 10/07/2024
» Horror and ghost stories have long been a staple of Thai cinema and the genre is deeply rooted in Buddhist beliefs and mythologies. Yet, it's surprising that these stories rarely venture beyond the confines of Buddhist folklore. However, that changes with The Cursed Land, an upcoming horror film that shifts the focus to the country's South, a predominantly Islamic region, and introduces audiences to the lesser-known demonic entity known as the djinn.
