Tommy Flowers: nothing like the machine he proposed had ever been contemplated. Tommy Flowers: nothing like the machine he proposed had ever been contemplated. Move over, Alan Turing: meet the working-class hero of Bletchley Park you didn't see in the movies The Oxbridge-educated boffin is feted as the codebreaking genius who helped Britain win the war. But should a little-known Post Office engineer named Tommy Flowers be seen as the real father of computing? T his is a story you know, right? It's early in the war and western Europe has fallen. Only the Channel stands between Britain and the fascist yoke; only Atlantic shipping lanes offer hope of the population continuing to be fed, clothed and armed. But hunting "wolf packs" of Nazi U-boats pick off merchant shipping at will, coordinated by radio instructions the Brits can intercept but can't read, thanks to the fiendish Enigma encryption machine.

'I realised I'd been ChatGPT-ed into bed': how'Chatfishing' made finding love on dating apps even weirder Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it's one thing to use a witty phrase - another thing entirely to build a whole fake persona S tanding outside the pub, 36-year-old business owner Rachel took a final tug on her vape and steeled herself to meet the man she'd spent the last three weeks opening up to. They'd matched on the dating app Hinge and built a rapport that quickly became something deeper. "From the beginning he was asking very open-ended questions, and that felt refreshing," says Rachel. One early message from her match read: "I've been reading a bit about attachment styles lately, it's helped me to understand myself better - and the type of partner I should be looking for. Have you ever looked at yours? Do you know your attachment style?" "It was like he was genuinely trying to get to know me on a deeper level. The questions felt a lot more thoughtful than the usual, 'How's your day going?'"

I asked AI to plan my dream summer holiday. Here's how it turned out The gothic arches of Santa María de la Asunción crown the hill above the stone harbour where fishermen land their catches of sardines and anchovies. The church in Castro Urdiales, a small seaside town of about 30,000 people in northern Spain, is more than 700 years old. It was the perfect holiday destination for Alan Smith and his family, though he had never heard of it - until he asked ChatGPT. This week a report from the travel association ABTA found an increasing number of people were turning to AI to help with their holidays, from suggesting destinations to planning itineraries once there.

At least 60 people have been killed in a drone strike at a displacement shelter in el-Fasher, a besieged Sudanese city on the brink of collapse. The resistance committee for el-Fasher, made up of local citizens and activists, said the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit Dar al-Arqam camp, located within a university, with two drone strikes and eight artillery shells. Children, women and the elderly were killed in cold blood, and many were completely burned, a statement from the group said. Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic as rescuers pulled bodies from the rubble. Hospitals already struggling under months of siege have been overwhelmed, with doctors treating the wounded on floors and in corridors.

Blair (left) and Clegg hosted the private dinner at the five-star Corinthia hotel in London in January. Exclusive: Six tech leaders dined with investment minister, documents reveal, underlining growing influence of ex-PM's consultancy Tony Blair and Nick Clegg hosted a private dinner earlier this year at which a select group of technology entrepreneurs were given access to a key minister, official documents have revealed.

Karen Price was just 15 when she vanished in 1981 and, had it not been for a chance discovery by two builders, her body might never have been found. Because no-one was looking for her. Dubbed Little Miss Nobody, Karen had not been seen for eight years when her skeletal remains, wrapped in a carpet, were uncovered by two unsuspecting builders in Cardiff city centre on 7 December 1989. Her body, found in a shallow grave outside a basement flat on Fitzhamon Embankment, was so badly decomposed it was impossible to establish the cause of her death. Now, more than 40 years on and after the release of her killer, a new documentary has examined how police put together the jigsaw to solve the killing of a teenager known to no-one and how it involved groundbreaking methods to bring two men to justice.

BAX methods sequentially select evaluation points using a probabilistic numerical approach. Current BAX methods use expected information gain to guide this selection. However, this approach is computationally intensive.

Diffusion models excel at generating visually striking content from text but can inadvertently produce undesirable or harmful content when trained on unfiltered internet data. A practical solution is to selectively removing target concepts from the model, but this may impact the remaining concepts. Prior approaches have tried to balance this by introducing a loss term to preserve neutral content or a regularization term to minimize changes in the model parameters, yet resolving this trade-off remains challenging.
