I think Tucker was actually right. The British economy is larger based on market exchange rates, but Russia is apparently significantly larger on a PPP comparison. That means on a "widget to widget" comparison, it's bigger, but it has a devalued currency, probably due to sanctions.

I confronted them and accused them of betraying the Resistance and being secretly in league with Ming. I have not received a response, but it seems they are worried about incurring the wrath of Flash and his friends, coz it's been fixed now. Phew!

I got a reply from WAPO Customer Care, which simply repeated the information I supplied and opined I was probably right that they'd messed up the web page drafting. No indication of follow-up. AI. So they have obviously been taken over by Ming, who has deployed AI agents to fight off complaints...

Hey @danschkade.bsky.social as of today, your Flash Gordon strip no longer appears in the Washington Post online comics list. I'm OK coz I've got my Comics Kingdom sub, but I normally read it via the Post. I have sent an email to their Comics overlords asking if they have gone over to Ming.

Other things they are good at: Write Python scripts to do some of the things they aren't good at Tell me how best to get around their limitations Help me debug problems with my PC. ‐------ I would argue these lists point to strengths and hidden weaknesses present in larger on-line AI chatbots.

I run local AI on a gamer PC for fun. With smaller LLMs in a controlled environment you can see their strengths and weaknesses. My models can: Summarise large documents Discuss philosophy Generate and modify images from text prompts Generate and correct German language tests They can't: 1/2

Sure. But there are plenty of human walking extinction risks and we shouldn't let them build a tool to get into the room with the red button.

Which means you prefer his rhetoric. Me too. But we don't know how much of his rhetoric he will be able to put into practice. We also don't know if his rhetoric & eventual policies will resonate with the electorate. Albo is much further down the path where rhetoric collides with electoral politics.

AndyCeleste @innocent-abroad.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Maybe. But Albo's been doing the job for a while now, Burnham hasn't started yet. Also Albo won 2 elections, while UK Labour is still behind in the polls to that guy fighting the bin. We'll see.

Obviously $600k wasn't enough. I'd certainly want my money back. Worth filing the suit to get them to give him his money back to avoid the exposure.

As I said, still bad. But accuracy is important, even on social media. I don't want to file this away, use it as an example and then have someone show it's not true. Neither should you.

They bombed a "nearby location", which forced an evacuation of the Childrens Hospital - statement of Iran's Foreign Ministry. Still bad, but the claim in this post is not true.

Dunno why this is all framed around individual choice. When my employer introduced Windows 30 yrs ago (from IBM terminals), they paid for staff training. If a business adopts functioning OS and software, they need to have an IT team for maintenance/help desk and train the users.

I'm not really arguing against you. Just explaining what's driving it. Industrial areas match cheap(ish) land zoned for industry with populations of workers. Data centers don't need workers and rural land is cheaper. They don't care about the effect on people.

AndyCeleste @innocent-abroad.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Land in cities is in short supply and expensive. Data centers don't need many people to run, so don't need to be near a large population of workers.

Oxygen at that temperature is deadly. The purported analogy should be read as applying to the kind of oxygen you can breathe. However, while you can't live without gaseous oxygen, you can live without the Judeo-Christian-Muslim god, as all the generations prior to 1000BC prove conclusively.

One of my fellow landlords in our small block installed air con with a wall unit. Another owner fought him all the way and made him get a by-law through a general meeting on basis that is was a major work. Strata managers said that was unfortunately legally correct. Insulation would be the same.
