Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m all for a breathalyser test before every vote in parliament 020
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026In about 2008 or so the Western Australian gazetted a timezone change with 30 days or so notice which meant that most computer/software companies couldn’t get their act together in time… very exciting answering the support lines 000
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think the double sided billboard comment is probably correct 110
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 04/10/2026H&C at the Gluepot was one of the sweatier gigs I’ve been too 011
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So anyway bolognaise mentioned in passing and so I had to make it. Wife says “can we have some spinach with it?” And a cohort of Italian nonnas throw their hands up in the air… 000
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think he mentioned on here that it was coming out soon. 240
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Also season 2 of The Peripheral what prick of a suit cancelled that? 191
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Thanks! I usually reread Nueromancer every couple of years, being blessed with a short term memory for books, but I’ve held off this time with the forthcoming tv series 130
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026My wife (who curates my books) just found your nom de plume and this is waiting for me at the library. So now I have a conundrum, do I read it now or watch the movie, then read it after? 130
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If you’ll allow another question - are you are saying because people allow agents greater access to data and applications their personal computers, and AI companies are potentially lacking in basic security protocols, it’s different than hacking into AWS or GCP, which is hard? 111
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I won’t belabour the “all” and “world” of the original post, but only 4 years or so ago they didn’t, and life went on, so who cares if Open AI or Anthropic go tits up? US economic collapse not withstanding 100
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Confused, do you really think every company in the world uses AI? 200
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 17/09/2026When all the public projects on GitHub are AI generated and Stack Overflow already self destructed where’s all the new coding training data coming from? 000
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 13/09/2026By which I mean this seems like a good reason raise taxes on the wealthy so we can have nice stuff 110
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If this data came from the UBS 2026 Global Wealth Report, it shows NZ 4th in median and 8th in avg wealth, which implies NZ's wealth is spread more evenly than others. Regardless, Stats NZ says the wealthiest 20% of households hold 66% of NZ's total net worth. 100
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I present peak rounded corners on a web site - ecardfile.com (released 1999, implemented with gifs and iframes...) 021
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 12/09/2026For aesthetic reasons I kind of liked the atmosphere handle at the top, but it tends to detract from the whole avoid the “someone’s stealing my creds” idea 170
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Do the Labour party realise that the election is in 2 months time? How do they define “Prior to” 011
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Arhhh, I meant not getting too attached to the various slow horses 211
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 07/09/2026For instance 5 minutes ago: ❯ You haven't investigated WHY the exception was thrown in the first place ⏺ Fair — I jumped to "transient network" and started fixing the reporting. Let me actually investigate the cause. 000
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 07/09/2026100% agree with you Keith. I’m a Claude Code fan, but after 45+ years of coding my bullshit detector is finely tuned to push back instead of blindly following whatever Claude is proposing 130
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Nice things in Helsinki, their public library, where you can book a room to play video games, record music, use 3D printers and much more… (Finland: 55% top tax rate, 25% GST) 010
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Importantly, whilst donating plasma, they bring the chocolate biscuits to you 000
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Which reminds me, if you were previously declined the opportunity to donate because you lived in the UK in the 80s/90s then this has been waived. Not enough of us died from Mad Cow it appears. In addition if you have been declined due to certain medications, you may be able to donate plasma. 210
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 17/08/2026In a conversation with my brother in law he said remember when we saw the Foo Fighters? And I said categorically I have never seen the foo fighters and he said they played before that noisy band… 110
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Thanks GLN, I sent an email to Scott Willis putting things in context. In the case I am concerned about it’s pretty strongly evidenced based, marginalisation would come from the cost of treatments. 000
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Maybe they’re lurking… so difficult trying to get in touch I even went back into facebook to ask but crickets 100
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I’m a bit of a single issue voter (more a I won’t vote for you if you have a policy against Gene Therapy/Gene Editing). I get that the published policy can’t cover everything but is there a GreenNZ spokesperson who I could ask that question of? 110
Kiwicmc @kiwicmc.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Hey @nzgreensglobal.bsky.social is the NZ green health spokesperson on BlueSky? 100
