Ahhh. GCSE's. I remember those. I still can't believe that I took those 6 years ago.

One bit of advice I'd give (which is too late now as the exams have started) is to revise well in advance of the exams and you'll have no problems. Assuming that you've got good teachers, of course. Thankfully all but a couple of my teachers were great.

Initially, I thought that the exams were going to solid so I revised hard. It paid off. When I went for my results (still rat-arsed from the night before :laugh:) I thought that I'd failed them all.

The results?? A*, A*, A, A, A, A, A, B, B, B, C.

Was tres chuffed.

Good luck to everyone doing GCSEs, and make sure you read the questions properly :D

thing is with English, it's easy for everyone, but the level you persue it at determines your grade. The questions were anally simple, but the integrity of your answers have to be perfect to get anywhere near a B or above.

I believe I've done rather well besides that fact

english and electronics today... well i say electronics, it was only about 20% electonics!!:@

the english was easy, and no my penis doesnt grow everytime i say its easy, would you rather i lie and say it was difficult?! electronics was largely easy but then there where a few tricky questions that a little guess work solved :p 2 exams is pretty rough in one day, but a few people in my year had 3 today!!!

anyways, a rest tommorow. probably wont revise, just chill, watch eps of samurai jack, listen to some "bangin choons" and play some games.

GOODLUCK ALL! :D

I am in Year 10. Yesterday I was just having my normal day, had a supply teacher for Maths so was quite happy.. and in like half way through the lesson, a teacher comes in to tell me I am supposed to be in a Maths GCSE that very moment. Surprised as I was, I got up to find out I was half hour late for my GCSE that I was supposed to be taking.. good thing I got extra time.

I didnt get to revise for it tho, I thought the exam date would be close to like 27th or summet. And I was doing it an year early, so I couldn't really discuss it with my mates, or my maths teacher as he was off for 3 weeks.

What a day that was. Good thing the test went OK, except one question.. which went poo. (lost 2 or 3 marks on it).

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
