Tim Angus @timang.us · 20/09/2026According to this it's 56% (page 10), so a majority certainly, but I'm not sure I'd attach "overwhelming" to it on that basis. Do I trust this source? I mean maybe, but it's so hard to know what to trust on the internet now. amp.xylem.com/m/aa10f80227...amp.xylem.com 110

This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl... 6744231397
Tim Angus @timang.us · 17/09/2026I don't really care about royalty or royal stories, or whether we are a monarchy or not at all, but it does seem to me as if Earl Spencer has basically spent a large fraction of his adult life exploiting the death of his sister, and that's a bit grubby. 121

Tim Angus @timang.us · 14/09/2026Two things that are simultaneously true: 1) At some point in the future, true artificial intelligence may prove to be an existential threat to humanity and we ought to take that seriously in the medium to long term 2) In LLMs, the "AI" companies have not developed true artificial intelligence* 110
Tim Angus @timang.us · 13/09/2026I wonder how much money Jacob Coxon is making from doing this extensive media tour 🤔. 000
Tim Angus @timang.us · 12/09/2026You know when you watch a film and at the start there are characters that seem pretty innocuous, and by the end it's revealed that they're really total evil bastards? This pair give off that vibe. 000

Tim Angus @timang.us · 11/09/2026Slightly alarming seeing all the people on here sharing their childhood memories of 25 years ago. I mean I was only just an adult, to be fair, but time man... time. 011

Tim Angus @timang.us · 09/09/2026Not sure I really understand the people who use Bluesky to routinely quote post Twitter posts. Like, wasn't the point of using Bluesky to get away from that quagmire? 010

Tim Angus @timang.us · 06/09/2026I'm kind of hazy on this, but I'm pretty sure the last time Germany elected fascists it didn't go so well, right? 010
Tim Angus @timang.us · 06/09/2026I wonder if papers per capita is a very good metric. (As someone who has worked in science in the past.) 000
Tim Angus @timang.us · 05/09/2026Farage said he "deplored" anyone wearing masks or balaclavas at public demonstrations. He added: "You should not be allowed to be masked up, balaclava-ed up and go out and protest on the streets of our country. It is wrong at every level." Welcome to your core vote, sonny jim. 000
Tim Angus @timang.us · 03/09/2026Honestly how can people be so spectacularly stupid? It's like he's trying to be dumb. 110

Tim Angus @timang.us · 03/09/2026"No longer are Reform comfortably leading in all the opinion polls - in some they're not leading at all." I do wonder if Chris Mason understands words sometimes. Since Burnham became leader, Labour lead in roughly twice as many polls as Reform. "Some". 140
Tim Angus @timang.us · 02/09/2026The SNP have spent a large fraction of their 20 years centralising power, and are continuing to do so. I wonder if their voters consider this ironic? 010
Tim Angus @timang.us · 28/08/2026I hate it not because it's pleasurable or harmful to health, but because, like people who play music out loud in public, it's really really fucking annoying. 040

Tim Angus @timang.us · 26/08/2026I'm any case, they'd probably just use resistive heating elements to keep the coolant at some minimum temperature. 000
Tim Angus @timang.us · 26/08/2026They'd probably use some kind of exotic glycol I guess, but really the biggest problem is having radiators big and efficient enough to reject the ludicrous quantity of heat that's being produced. So much weight to orbit, costing so much, for so relatively little compute. So yeah, why? 100
Tim Angus @timang.us · 26/08/2026I mean look, it's just a clumsy way to make SpaceX semi plausibly resemble an AI company, so that investors invest. 110
Tim Angus @timang.us · 24/08/2026It's kind of wild that, as far as I can see, there's been no polling at all on Scottish Parliament voting intention since the election in May. Totally normal country. 000
