Not going to lie here, that CT03 is one ugly looking car from the front.

It's a shame they have the stepped nose (and they're so in favour of it), since I would love to see what it'd look like with the vanity panel in place. Probably 1000x nicer, since the livery is so much better.

In general, the liveries have been much nicer this season. Red Bull are just a case of WTF.

Marussia signs Luiz Razia for second 2013 Formula 1 seat

Luiz Razia has secured the Marussia Formula 1 seat left vacant by Timo Glock's pre-season departure from the team.

Brazilian 23-year-old Razia joins fellow GP2 graduate Max Chilton in an all-rookie line-up at the squad.

Razia will drive the new Marussia in Wednesday's Jerez test session, although the team will start the day late following Chilton's crash due to suspension failure on Tuesday.

"The past two seasons in GP2 have been all about proving that I have what it takes and that I'm ready," said Razia.

Just back from final day of testing in Jerez .. great day! Anyone know what happened to Hamilton as he left the pits .. engine sounded terrible...whatever it was, he recovered from it

so you were on track in jerez, might be late now but could you share your impressions of the car behaviors with us?

Yeah - really good day out. The Force India and Caterham cars sound awful off the throttle - backfiring quite badly. The smoothest car seemed to be the McLaren (which looked stunning) - driven that day by Perez.

Hamilton's Merc looked ok, but as I said earlier, seemed to splutter out of the pits during one of the test stops - I really thought that was the end of his practice.

We managed to pickup some VIP tickets so were able to wander freely throughout the track. We stood for a long while at turn 1 where the cars were slowing down after the start/finish straight for the 90-degree right hander. They were literally metres away from us. I took my father up to see it as he hasn't seen it before. He loved the McLaren - the livery, sound and speed.

Just seen some of the times posted in Barcelona - McLaren quickest so far .. looks good. Maybe Hamilton jumped ship too early .. they do seem to have a WDC winning car on their hands.

Even though the times tell something, they don't tell the whole story. The biggest give-away will be in Melbourne in a few weeks time.

The back of that Williams is so short, it's mental. Looking forward to seeing the pace from it this season, and seeing if they can improve over last year. If Maldonado is more reliable and drives more like his second half of 2012, he'll do well.

It is going to be exciting come Melbourne. Testing is ok to see the new cars but apart from that, as we've learnt from past years. It doesn't really show the pace of a car. I think the past two years Ferrari looked good and then when it got down to actual racing, it was pants.

I hope Mercedes give Hamilton a decent car, one he can work with. It will be so depressing if we have to watch a championship where Hamilton looks average all the time. I suppose though if he is in the mid-field, we'll see some good overtakes.

it was in 2010 and especially 2011 when they looked good, in 2012 testing they looked horrible and it was obvious for everyone.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
