A man has been cleared of murdering a retired biology teacher in Edinburgh after a jury found the case against him not proven.

Paul Black, 65, was accused of killing former Fettes teacher Peter Coshan, 75, with his flatmate Paul McNaughton in August 2022.

McNaughton, 29, pled guilty to the murder last year but Black was cleared following a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.

However he was found guilty of attempting to defeat the ends of justice in helping McNaughton cover up the crime.

Both men will be sentenced next month.

The reason for shutting down the feature is simple: it failed to gain traction. Additionally, it has been Tumblr's plan since last year's reorg to put an end to things that aren't performing well. In 2022, Tumblr introduced Tips as a complementary feature to Post+, its subscription offering that allowed creators to put content behind a paywall.

AI training data has a price tag that only Big Tech can afford
Data is at the heart of today's advanced AI systems, but it's costing more and more -- making it out of reach for all but the wealthiest tech companies. Last year, James Betker, a researcher at OpenAI, penned a post on his personal blog about the nature of generative AI models and the datasets on which they're trained. In it, Betker claimed that training data -- not a model's design, architecture or any other characteristic -- was the key to increasingly sophisticated, capable AI systems.
