Dave @davesrants.com · 04/10/2026Indeed but I’d sleep easier in general if I didn’t know that there are lots of weaponised version of stuff like this sitting in freezers in Russia. 010
Dave @davesrants.com · 29/09/2026Someone got there before you youtu.be/dbEWfBQNogA?...youtu.bePEPSTEIN FILES: A LEGACY IN QUESTIONYouTube video by Stephen Howson 000
Dave @davesrants.com · 28/09/2026Why do you use Excel to chart the data points instead of using graph paper? 100
Dave @davesrants.com · 28/09/2026You almost certainly have some tedious manual transcribing task in your day to day work. I was giving an example of a use case. I’ve got two kids playing loads of different sports with organisers who send times in groups. Simple. 130
Dave @davesrants.com · 28/09/2026100% it’s people who get upset over the idea of AI novels or use chat bots and dismiss the whole technology in the back of that 020
Dave @davesrants.com · 28/09/2026This is user error. There’s many tedious tasks a Claude subscription can do for you for example. For example in the evening I screenshot the various kids activity times in the various whatsapp groups I’m in and they are added to my family calendar. Obvious a trivial use but many things like that 160
Dave @davesrants.com · 27/09/2026I’m very much not very online anymore and I have to say the AI sex cult stuff does really sound like David Ike lizard people stuff. May be true but you all sound like lunatics. 120
Dave @davesrants.com · 27/09/2026Had some nonsense on my LinkedIn this week with someone saying Dublins traffic problems were solved and we didn’t need Metrolink. We should tell all the other cities they are wasting their time on metros… 010
Dave @davesrants.com · 26/09/2026You’d get similar numbers for solar farms. The public aren’t a good gauge for what development is needed. 000
Dave @davesrants.com · 21/09/2026Ask him to run that poll and describe Radcliffe as the owner of basket case football club Manchester United… 001
Dave @davesrants.com · 20/09/2026The US now has a marginally harsher attitude to the ICC than under Obama. Same as they do marginally more extra judicial killing. Same as they imprison more people without trial than under Obama but it’s not new. It’s all on a spectrum and I don’t kid myself about that. 120
Dave @davesrants.com · 20/09/2026The vaccine is infinitely more effective so I don’t think it particularly moves the needle. 261
Dave @davesrants.com · 20/09/2026And they also really miss a trick by not sending away teams out first. 001
Dave @davesrants.com · 20/09/2026College Football should do something about having massive hype and atmosphere and then almost every kickoff result in a dead ball. 100
Dave @davesrants.com · 18/09/2026Yes, highly recommend. Also you can just mirror your home Wifi details so if you've kids etc with you the devices auto connect. Generally avoids all the hotel login screens etc. I've been known to disconnect the ethernet feeding the TV to get a connection! GL iNet have a good selection. 100
Dave @davesrants.com · 18/09/2026They actually should wire those to access points as the WiFi in most hotels is so bad. I actually have a travel router I plug into the ethernet so I can get good WiFi. 120
Dave @davesrants.com · 16/09/2026Ah yes totally understand. I've seen people argue the other way which makes no sense to me. Sorry for misreading. 100
Dave @davesrants.com · 15/09/2026If only he was wealthy enough to compensate for any loss. Also look at the support acts who are certainly not well off who are pulling out. 290
Dave @davesrants.com · 14/09/2026to be fair Oasis have sold way more records in Ireland than Metallica. Globally clearly quite different but easy to see why there’d be more demand/higher prices. 100
Dave @davesrants.com · 14/09/2026Honestly the logistics of going to almost all of these from Cork is easier than getting to Slane. Potentially cheaper too. 100
Dave @davesrants.com · 14/09/2026The opposition could just not vote for government policy like everywhere else. 130
Dave @davesrants.com · 13/09/2026Well yes. Why would you do that other than you enjoy the process or feel it gives you a more bespoke and customisable outcome. 000
Dave @davesrants.com · 13/09/2026Money and resources is burned all the time for frivolous things. Putting AI/vibe coding in some sort of special category is an odd behaviour you see on this website. I spend hours baking bread, why don’t I just get the one available from the supermarket? 120
Dave @davesrants.com · 12/09/2026We should let terrorists decide the policy of Ireland is an interesting take but it’s irrelevant. The vast majority of people on the island would like to see it united. It’s not a fringe view. The violence is something that could stop that but it doesn’t mean a united Ireland is bad. 1250
Dave @davesrants.com · 12/09/2026Well he has just said what is the stated policy of essentially every party in the South. It’s a funny intervention and shows how undiplomatic he is but I’m unclear what’s implicitly wrong about the statement? 0180
Dave @davesrants.com · 11/09/2026Are people actually interested in what people were doing on 9/11? I assume nobody cares what I was doing. 011
Dave @davesrants.com · 11/09/2026The sports washing angle has def worked. You hear less about their human rights issues and they are more welcome at events/in Western company than prior to the investments? So not a total loss. 120
Dave @davesrants.com · 11/09/2026My 12 year old was asking about vapes the other day and I told her I’d prefer cigs if she decides to go down that route. Obv both to be avoided but looks less ridiculous. 010
Dave @davesrants.com · 11/09/2026Depressingly you don’t need AI to create a civilisation ending bio weapon. The technology and knowledge to do that is 50 years old. The results of the research also sits in freezers around the place. 020
Dave @davesrants.com · 10/09/2026Exhibit B www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer...irishtimes.comHow to buy Real Betis tickets if you’re planning a trip to see Troy Parrott in SevilleWith two winners in two games, the Irish striker is bedding in nicely at his new Spanish club 010
Dave @davesrants.com · 10/09/2026Waking up to check in on how my R1 pick in a new dynasty league did. That pick, Drake Maye… 000
Dave @davesrants.com · 07/09/2026Just intertia and/or have set some sort of bar for amending that can’t be met. They can’t quantify what it makes so then they can’t remove etc. 010
Dave @davesrants.com · 07/09/2026Good chance the admin on the new scheme is such a mess there’s very limited service providers who offer it too. 100
Dave @davesrants.com · 07/09/2026Even my LinkedIn of professionals who would be extraordinarily wary of speaking out against the government are up in arms over the level of inaction here. 210
Dave @davesrants.com · 06/09/2026It’s like the crudest way possible to avoid people rolling up income in accumulating funds. Even if they want to keep it in just exempt it for distributing ETFs etc. 120
Dave @davesrants.com · 04/09/2026If my group chats are anything to go by there’s going to be a lot of middle aged Irish men going on trips to Seville to see Troy Parrot. 120
Dave @davesrants.com · 04/09/2026Now you're getting it. It's not college sports, it's a development/second tier league. Premier League teams started off as factory workers or railway worker teams and now are separate professional enterprises. Big college football schools will be the same in the end. 000
