So I asked this in the IRC channel but it was met with less enthusiasm (ref: zero) than I was expecting, so my question remains unanswered. To the forums!

I want to get some documentaries to watch. Thinking about the type of documentary I'm looking for, I would get quite specific and say that the David Attenborough documentaries are great, as are the things that Brian Cox has done recently. The only problem I have is that there is so much choice!

I will probably end up getting lots of them over time, but for the moment I feel completely swamped with options. And so I thought I would come here and ask you all which your favourite documentaries are. I would prefer that they were recommendations that fit the criteria above, but if you can think of something that I absolutely have to get/watch then feel free to suggest it.

A final criteria for those recommending a documentary to buy: I would prefer if it were available on Amazon.co.uk. It's not essential, but I'm in the middle of buying packages from there anyway, so if I can throw a couple of documentaries in to my shopping basket I'll be one happy chappy!

    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more

      Formatting would be awesome if fully customised and then roll out the settings as a company wide standard.

      I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.

      When you have only lies and blood libels to present, you've lost. And how hard is it for you to look up BBC and AP? You hate Jews, just admit it.
    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
