UK children will be one of unhealthiest generations in decades, doctors say
Analysis of 12 indicators including asthma, obesity and vaccination finds child health is ‘national embarrassment’ Children in the UK will grow up to be one of the unhealthiest generations in decades, with child health outcomes having declined or stalled completely across all areas, a group of leading paediatricians has said.

DOOMQL
DOOMQL Peter Gostev built this using GPT-5.6 Sol. This is a lot of fun: DOOMQL started with a deliberately unreasonable question: what if SQLite were the game engine, not merely the place where a game stores data? The result is a small, original Doom-like game in which SQL owns movement, collision, enemies, combat, progression and every RGB pixel on screen. It's implemented as a Python terminal script - I tried it out like this: cd /tmp git clone https://github.com/petergpt/doomql cd doomql uv run host/doomql.py Here's the huge SQL query that implements a full ray tracer in SQLite using a recursive CTE. Running the above script creates a /tmp/doomql/.doomql/doomql.sqlite SQLite database, which you can explore using Datasette like this: uvx --prerelease=allow --with datasette-apps datasette \ /tmp/doomql/.doomql/doomql.sqlite \ -p 4444 --root --secret 1 --internal internal.db The --with datasette-apps option installs the new Datasette Apps plugin, which supports creating custom HTML+JavaScript apps that can run SQL queries directly within the Datasette interface. I created a new app, pasted the copy-paste prompt into Claude chat (Fable 5) and told it : Build an app that displays the current state of the screen using the frame_pixels view with its x, y, r, g, b columns. have it refresh once a second. This got me a working HTML+JavaScript app inside Datasette that could reflect the current state while I played the game in my terminal. Then I added: add a minimap And now my Datasette App looks like this: Here's the HTML app code - paste that into your own Datasette instance (using the uvx --with datasette-apps recipe from above) to try it yourself.
