Royal Opera House, London Prodigal son Paul Lightfoot returns with Sol León for their first performance by a British dance company. The result is impressively choreographed, if in need of more heart Paul Lightfoot is a prolific, multi-award-winning British choreographer, more than 35 years in the industry, making dance as a duo with his former wife Sol León. Yet this is the first time their work has been performed by a British dance company. Seems hard to believe. The pair spent their careers at Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), as dancers and choreographers, then Lightfoot was artistic director from 2012 to 2020. But Cheshire-born Lightfoot trained at the Royal Ballet school, so this is a bit of a prodigal son situation, the Royal Ballet dancing an evening of the duo’s work: one two-decades-old piece revived, another that originated in lockdown that’s been dramatically recreated especially for this company. The style of dance is so distinctive (influenced by that of NDT’s longtime director Jiří Kylián). It’s full of steps, exclamations, exaggerations and quirks. It is ultra specific, with constant switches of tone and timbre. The Royal Ballet’s dancers are used to demanding, ultra-contemporary movement but you can see how challenging it is to completely absorb a new style, and it’s interesting to see dancers play against type, like Vadim Muntagirov, a classical prince, now an ultra-serious, starkly angled figure in 2006’s Shoot the Moon. He’s one of five protagonists on a clever rotating set where different rooms and relationships come into view. Not so much a story as a set of (moderately opaque) situations. The style can be a bit Marmitey: Euro arthouse angst, well-dressed people in crisis to Philip Glass. Always a beautiful crisis, though. The dancer most impressively invested in the work is Lauren Cuthbertson, almost reinvented for this piece. At one point there’s a live camera feed on stage and we see a closeup of Cuthbertson on screen, facial expressions as fran...

Getty Images Thesis Summary Tesla, Inc. ( TSLA ) has spent the last two years transforming itself into an AI company, and it may have finally succeeded. This week, CEO Elon Musk claimed Tesla's upcoming AI6 chip might set a record for the most usable intelligence produced from a single silicon wafer once manufacturing yield is factored in. The key thing to understand here is that raw performance is not the goal. The goal is lower cost per unit of deployed compute. I highlighted the importance of Tesla's chip ambitions months ago, and we now have some encouraging signs. The implications are huge for Tesla itself, especially lined up against SpaceX ( SPCX ) and xAI, which already are real customers of the company and potentially future parts of it. The Silicon Is Real In April 2026, Tesla finished the design of AI5, its fifth-generation AI chip, and sent it off for manufacturing. According to Musk , one AI5 matches Nvidia's ( NVDA ) H100 for the work Tesla needs done, and two together match Nvidia's newest Blackwell chips, at a fraction of the cost and power. How exactly is this possible? Because Tesla's chip only has to do one job, while Nvidia builds for thousands of customers, and its chips are built for general purposes. Tesla ripped all the unnecessary elements out and kept only what its own software uses. Most importantly, Tesla skipped high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, the exotic, ultra-fast memory every Nvidia chip depends on, and the single scarcest part in the AI supply chain, in favor of ordinary memory that's cheap and available everywhere. Now, the AI6 takes the idea further. Musk says it doubles AI5's performance in the same compact size, with a huge slice of the chip devoted to onboard memory sitting right next to the processors, making data access roughly ten times faster than fetching it from external memory. Smaller chips make for better connectivity and cheaper production. For example, Nvidia's larger chips need more die in manufacturing. Tesla's are h...

Summer is approaching, which means it's time to enjoy some gloriously warm weather beside the grill. But let me pitch you on an alternative: Instead of the usual burgers, hot dogs, and kebabs, what if you made pizza? I've been doing this for a few years now, and while I still love to grill, it no longer compares to pulling pies from my Ooni Fyra 12. A pizza oven previously seemed to me like someth...
Summer is approaching, which means it's time to enjoy some gloriously warm weather beside the grill. But let me pitch you on an alternative: Instead of the usual burgers, hot dogs, and kebabs, what if you made pizza? I've been doing this for a few years now, and while I still love to grill, it no longer compares to pulling pies from my Ooni Fyra 12. A pizza oven previously seemed to me like something reserved for staunch enthusiasts. I never would have considered buying one myself, because for many years I believed that I hated pizza - the British food landscape wasn't exactly rife with good options during my childhood, in my defense. But a … Read the full story at The Verge.
