I am performing something sensible at this tomorrow! Buy a ticket! Watch some chuckles! REMAIN IN YOUR HOME THROUGHOUT! Well. I mean. You can probably watch it on a park bench or in a hot air balloon or something, I'm not your dad, but I reckon watching at home will be less fuss. Warmer, too.

Apparently losing a few litres of diesel is now so terrifying to America, thanks to Hormuz, that they have to wholesale run away from a single sighting of some rural ne’er-do-wells sneaking about with a jerrycan.

Let asylum seekers work: it'll fix a few problems in our labour market, save taxpayers some cash and mean we don't need giant asylum sites like MOD Bicester. Or we could keep being performatively awful to asylum seekers for no benefit.

Absolutely crippled a workplace wiki (not mediawiki and the code isn't terribly fast) - fortunately I could get away with whitelisting ac.uk, .edu and cern.ch to make it more manageable but still a pain to users.

I think the cost of this is underestimated. People talk about "95% of my traffic is AI scrapers" and it maybe sounds like that would increase your costs by 95%, when in fact the human traffic that used to be 100% of your cost is 5% of your new cost. Your costs have increased 20 times.

I’m hearing that Tesco is saying trans employees must use gender neutral/disabled toilets. This is not legal. Talk to GLP or Translucent if you are in this situation.

Been discussing Erdős-Bacon numbers (and the Sabbath extension). If anyone can get my Bacon number down from infinity that'd be lovely. ... wait... can Bacon associations include voice acting? Maybe I can buy my way in.

what’s interesting about LLMs is that a stochastic regurgitation of training data, given enough data and enough tweaking and enough compute, can appear to be something more than a stochastic regurgitation of training data. but to imagine that it *is* more than that is magical thinking.

the plainness with which this is put covers up a sort of powerless rage that you feel as a parent of a trans kid. it’s, to say the least, an alienating experience to see people bicker over the niceties of this or that pension policy when the party and the government has done this to your family

This Labour Government is the worst thing to have ever happened to trans children.
They have step by step dismantled every protection that supported my daughter. We have tried so hard to help her grow up with happiness and self-esteem through a childhood in an increasingly transphobic UK.
At every point when the Labour Government could have made something better, they have turned around and given her another kick.

When AI guys claim that LLMs are conscious because the way they work is very complicated

XKCD where one person says "I've found a way to turn a 52-card deck into 53 cards by shuffling and rearranging them."
Second person says "No, you haven't."
First person says "How do you know?! I challenge you to find an error in my math!"

Because is doesn't fucking matter if she said it was consensual in the immediate aftermath, it doesn't fucking matter if she agreed to part or all of it before it happened, because you cannot give consent to people who are intent on harming you and taking advantage of you.
