QUETTA:
At least six miners have been killed in a blast at a coal mine in Balochistan s Marwar field, officials with the provincial Directorate of Mines said.
They were among eight miners trapped about 1,000 feet underground when accumulating methane gas exploded at the coal field in Marwar, the officials added.
“Six bodies have been retrieved by the rescue team from the affected mine this morning,” a senior official of the Directorate of Mines said.
“[The] mine has been closed and an inquiry has been ordered by the Chief Inspector of Mines into the incident.”

A CONSULTATION on plans to pardon miners convicted of offences during the 1984-85 strike in Scotland was warmly welcomed by campaigners today.
An independent review proposed last year that those given convictions during the year-long strike over planned colliery closures, including those who have since died, should be absolved.
The paper, released today, asks for responses on the details of the scheme, including what the qualifying criteria should be for any pardons given.
The review will end on June 4, with the SNP’s Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf also adding pressure to the government to take action across the rest of Britain.
The state government is calling for a PNG mine linked to five new COVID cases in Cairns to make serious changes to prevent more infected workers arriving by plane.

I think Nvidia already announced it would apply to future cards, so not much of a revelation there. However, new Ti cards all based on GA102 and with only 12GB VRAM is interesting, if very disappointing.

Part of me suspects this will become a hardware feature in the next generation or two.
