Why is snow on the news every where, it's pathetic, it's just snow! Sure lots of places have it bad but comon it's plastered all over the news here like something major happend :| On another note can't wait til it gets heavier so I don't have to go anywhere.

Slow news day; this is the worst it's hit the UK in 18 years and we aren't prepared for it. Plus the added affect of "snow days" from work being declared has on the economy is negative (a load of stocks where sold this morning due to worry how the snow will affect the prices).

Considering the size of our balcony, this is the size of the snowman we just made. We have more snow left on the balcony AND its now starting to snow REAL strong again (SW London)... No work again tomorrow hopefully :D:

This we made last night, with the little snow we had:

I just read this on the Washington Post:

Heavy Snow Brings London to a Stop

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...9020201151.html

I wish you people the best of luck and safety...I know its a miserable situation.

Miserable? Its ****ing GREAT mate! With all the news we hear all the time about the econimy etc, this diverts our attention and in a lot of cases, gives us a free day (maybe 2) off work!

Was only a light sprinkling here through the morning but it's really starting to come down this afternoon/evening.. hope it's appalling tomorrow so I don't have to go into work. They already sent everyone home early from work today.. so if it's the same tomorrow morning, surely we won't have to go in!

lol

only in the UK

the rest of europe can easily deal with this kinda snow, but the UK for some reason cant!

for example! if more than 2" of snow is expected, the salt pouring trucks come out late at night, and in the morning a quick sweep is done of major roads.....

ah well, then again i cant remember the last time is snowed in the UK :s

Whats wrong with that? Nothing is more hardcore than braving 2" of snow without any gritting or plowing eh. The roads around my way were like glass when I woke up this morning. Cars wheels spinning but going nowhere. If anything there wasn't enough done. After all, didn't we know about this snow at the start of LAST week?

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
