The genuine lack of inquisitiveness of the media as to the background to events and how they actually occurred and what the long term implications and context is, never ceases to amaze me. These were some of the fundamental and first things we were taught about uni in writing and in studio classes.

By refusing to stand beside the Count at the count, Farage demonstrates that he is not only a snivelling worm, but also a coward.

I think most breast development is supposed to be done by 3 years so that would be a safe option.

$Two panel comic. Panel 1: Omni Man and Invincible are floating in the sky. Two fighter jets are flying nearby. One is labeled "double" and the other is labeled "float". Omni Man is labeled "Mathematicians". Panel 2: Omni Man / Mathematicians turn to Invincible and say "Look what they need to mimic a fraction"$

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

On the 5th August, the EHRC's Code of Practice becomes statutory guidance. It will make life even harder for many trans & non-binary people. It's unworkable & harmful. The Good Law Project is challenging & wants to hear from people affected by these exclusions. goodlawproject.org/discriminato...

This idea only sounds insane until you think about it for a second. You adjust your alarm clock, then you get used to it. The only part I wouldn't personally like is that the date would change at a different time. It's less fun staying up until 00:00 on NYE if that is in mod afternoon.

Given the population density, to reduce the impact we should base the timings somewhere in central to east Asia.

Back in my early 20s I tried to write fiction. I wrote dozens of drafts, hundreds of pages of digital notes, even more scrawled on paper. Then I tried to write an RPG. More notes, more drafts. I'm on to game dev now. More notes, & now code. I have realised that maybe my hobby is just... Typing!?

attempt with ChatGPT's (inept, though confident) assistance. Despite the work I'm now doing being largely (though not completely) a replication of the code in the book, its significantly more satisfying, and I actually feel like I'm coming out the end of each stage knowing more than I did before. 3/

Fortunately, to the rescue comes... books! It turns out we didn't need to make computers talk to be able to get better at things. I've been working through an excellent book which is available free on the author's website, and it's lead me to create something far, far better than my first.. 2/

For a while I was really trying to find the value in using ChatGPT/other models to learn things. I hoped that by doing most of the work myself and using the LLM as a fancy search engine I could actually learn to do things myself... But after months of frustration I've always come away worse off. 1/

I wonder if the more specific prompts are more likely to produce this kind of output, because the source material the LLM draws from on astrology in general is more likely to be critical, while discussions of "Venus in Gemini" are likely to be uncritically presented as fact.

010

Ruby @cardinal-bin.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Well, I got (in)lucky with the other models I tried I guess. I imagine the prompt makes a difference, I was asking about a quite specific detail (I noticed this when searching for a song called "Venus in Gemini").

Ok? Sorry 4.6, not 2-4%... That's still a very low margin in any business.

Ruby @cardinal-bin.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Because their revenues are absolutely massive, so the total profit is high. Supermarket margins are only 2-4%. See page 9 in this government report: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66a332...

A social media ban - like a drug ban - turns the focus to better enforcement of the ban, rather than any efforts to meaningfully improve the underlying issues at play.

There are two groups of people who are at greatest risk of falling for AI (and old fashioned) BS on the internet - the young and the old. The young at least have a chance to grow out of it, and to a degree exposure at that age can teach you to recognise it.

It is true that supermarkets in the UK work with razor thin margins, I imagine this does drive wages down... But yes some cheap veg is not a sign of that, it's a loss leader.

All 3 LLMs I tried, when asked about Astrology, presented information about its influence on a person's personality with exactly the same confidence and apparent factuality as if I had asked them about mathematics.
