This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

No that is me! @lnr.bsky.social If he's into WW2 aviation I'd highly recommend Never Mind the Dambusters, it's very good and has a new episode once a fortnight.

I hate the term "radical left" so much. Like that used to mean stringing up landlords not "thinks healthcare is good"

There is no middle ground with the kind of people who attack the RNLI. We don’t need to ‘listen’ to them. We need to tell them where to go.

Horses of the 57th Landwehr Infantry Regiment literally sinking into the muddy streets on the Eastern Front, 1918. You read accounts of this happening, but it's rare to see actual photographs of it.

Innovation comes in all shapes and sizes. When the ask is to have a back up power source for the field wireless (which otherwise requires massive, heavy batteries), then this is the result. Two soldiers were needed to generate the 150 - 200+ watts required. #ww1 #warhistory #innovation #cycling

Arrival of these in the post today is definitely not evidence that I'm starting to panic about the @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social conference. Definitely not.

3 books side-by-side. They are Ice Captain: the life of JR Stenhouse by Stephen Haddelsey, Elephant Island & Beyond: the life and diaries of Thomas Orde-Lees by John Thomson, and Shackleton's Captain: a biography of Frank Worsley by John Thomson

I've seen a lot of "advice to writers on how to counter accusations of AI." Let me remind you: the onus is on the accuser to prove the accusation. Most accusers aren't detecting AI. They're detecting the source material used to train AI. Our voices were stolen. Do not fall into this trap.

A plea to any war bores in the south west of England - is anyone likely to be near the Plymouth Naval Memorial in the next few weeks who could (try to) photograph a name for me? Leading Seaman Timothy McCarthy, RNR, SS Narragansett. He's on panel 23, and I'd be extremely grateful! 🙏

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

Managed to hit the wrong button on first repost 🤦‍♀️short answer: absolutely not. LLMs are never going to be able to replace the work of historians. They can't interpret data, they can only give a best guess based on probability. And the majority of records aren't digitised.

Tilly's not always keen on dogs that are bigger than she is, especially if they're boisterous or run up to her, but she's a rescue so I'm not sure if that's maybe down to past experience...

For some reason our (biggish) lurcher is much better with small dogs than she is with big ones, and she finds puppies of all kinds VERY exciting 😁 hope all goes well!

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

Everyone else refusing to stand in Clacton is the exact correct response. Two things about fascists: 1) if you play their game on their terms they cheat and win, but 2) if you don't, the slightest shithousery makes them cry like babies.
