...so potentially a new equilibrium point of higher yields attracting buyers but if that results in yields falling then buyers will again withdraw?

Shouldn't this be reducing yield if demand is rising? Or is this trivial in the overall scale of the market? Really trying to understand the government bond market trend as Im about to commit to an annuity

I remember this being very cheesy in the same style as 6 million dollar man. Have often wondered exactly how crap it really was. I'll let you make the investment.

Excuse me, I have just been made aware (by Reddit) that some people butter both slices of bread in a sandwich. I need to know that this is a minority of perverts, and not the done thing.

I'm re-reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson (2008), and hit this fairly prescient passage. "Crap" (well-written but subtly false information) deliberately inserted by into the "reticulum" (Internet), with the goal of then being able to sell services to filter […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Screenshot of a few paragraphs of Anathem, where the characters discuss disinformation campaigns on the internet powered by "Artificial Inanity" programs.

sadly the huge leaps forward in machine translation are likely to deprive us of such reliable gems as "dry" and "fuck" in Chinese using the same simplified character or my all-time favorite "Racist Park" (which was also an accurate description of the park, as it happened)

Over on Twitter, some nutter claims to have found Noah's Ark and says, "When we are done, University curriculums will need to be re-written, and Darwinism will be dismantled." In response to a reply, saying you couldn't fit every species of animal onto a single boat, she replies…

A tweet, saying that Noah probably only bought two of every kind of animal, not every species, and adaptation and breeding since then has created the species. Which sounds a bit like, you know, Darwinism.

FT letter on where AI might lead www.ft.com/content/aaac...

The Anthropic tweet about the risk of AI destroying human life suggests that AI companies are developing systems on a similar basis to the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation and its Genuine People Personalities program, which if you remember Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy resulted in Marvin the Paranoid Android, rather than following Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.

Wodehouse said it best (see alt text)

“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them shouting "Heil, Spode!" and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer. What the Voice of the People is saying is: "Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?”

Lovely breezy morning with the dog watching the wind turbines churning out lots of lovely non polluting electricity.

I have an auto switch that trips over essential circuits if mains fails. However it then puts inverter in the loop so if inverter fails as it did then lose essential circuits. Better i think to have a manual switchover
