This is life changing for those affected. Well done the government.

Trying to imagine being admitted to the hospital on the brink of death and then finding myself shunted aside for nearly two weeks because there's a law saying people like me must be segregated away before we can receive treatment.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

For many Spurs seasons a desperate draw away at Old Trafford was comfortably beyond us. Now, it’s somehow a pathetic result for both teams. Awesome ending though. So used to seeing that result occur from ahead rather than behind. COYS

FLT had a bit of a side quest the last few months and built a uk politics game for the better coalition. See game.bettercoalition.co.uk to play. See how quick you can beat the lettuce. 🥬

EdStone 2: This time the idea is just as bad but we can make it 30 meters long cheaply because we used AI art’?

I’m pretty sure sailors say ‘never step down into a life raft.’

Actual lol. VAR has nothing on this. (It also won't happen) (As a Spurs fan, this would be such a depressing way to 'win' a title) (actually it would be fun to see that team back together for a testimonial. 11 of that 16/17 team are still playing.)

As an English graduate, Burnham can't avoid the subconscious need for alliteration, which is why he's so drawn to busses.

Councils taking control of unused houses.. well damn

The incredible thing about this blog post for me is the idea that ***only*** 48% of Wrangler usage was performed by agents last week - just from my personal bias about the prevalence of agents. The way they check is linked below. The 48% is a floor. Real number > 50%, right?

And that’s bad

Jev thought: after playing with Jev and Laya, I suspect a general classifier’s job is often to make itself unnecessary: bootstrap a dataset, train a tiny specialist, then keep the general model for drift detection and evals.

I want a futures market on this so so much.

This is classic 'People Who Say It Cannot Be Done Should Not Interrupt Those Who Are Doing It.'

Thank you sincerely, people I follow. It's banger after banger over on my 'Following' feed.

Pilots never change.

Most British thing imaginable: Our nuclear deterrent relies on a blimp.

This must form the basis of the world being built right now.

Dystopia: I'm 83. My happy place is reliving old Slack conversations from 50 yrs ago with LLMs set up to reply like the people I used to work with. My agent found me sighing over an old data export 15 yrs back and filed it under 'when the dementia hits' I'm very little trouble. My family are happy.

We beat the leader in harness bench. No big deal. its a big fucking deal lmao.

And when I say this, for the no-one who is listening, I mean go there and buy meat from the local butcher, not ‘all-expenses-paid-safari’. It’ll take you from ‘Toto: Africa’ tourism to ‘Pulp: Common People’ tourism. That’s the best I can do, sorry.

How about the police acting if these guys return? I’d settle for that.

I do appreciate that this stuff exists now, but there’s a hole in the toy shop where Sylvanian Families woodwork shops and schleich black unicorns might be. (Speaking as the only boy in my class ~35 years ago who liked Care Bears instead of whatever boys were supposed to like, I forget)

Bring it the fuck back. We need to stop letting fucking troglodytes who have literally 0 understanding of what they mean when they say "AI" have control over tech.

In the age of agents, Linux distros are the new Domain Specific Languages?

OK, get it together guys. Speaking as a Spurs fan, this is at least 2 managers too early to be talking about relegation.

We used to have this argument in 3D printers. Someone would show up and say you can't build a machine with more accuracy and durability than the one that printed it. I'm sorry, I didn't realize we invented computers before the abacus. Fancy beads can't be numbers ffs. Stupid of me. I am so dumb.

"We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy"

My grandmother found people saying 'UK' weird, her introduction to it was as a young army officer's wife based abroad in the '50's. She'd never heard it before and she told me (around maybe 2005?) that people had only really started using it in the '70's. (Google Books thinks she was ~8 years late)

Genuinely can't believe we're supposed to have a debate about whether DEI has reduced the quality of academic output whilst you have some of the critics writing entire papers on why women evolved to use a Dyson?

It's the small things. NVIDIA like to focus on hardware that makes the cost of electricity a rounding error in the total cost of ownership, making life much simpler for everyone with $100k in change hiding in their sofa. (I roughly costed £7.5k over three years to run this at 50% capacity)

🎶 “You gotta ac-celerate the easy bits, ig-nore all of the bigger things, latch yourself up to a bandwagon, and don’t ever touch the bottom line.” 🎶

This is my kind of slop.

Awesome

That is just standard software engineering. AI just automated the delusions so you can scale them much faster.

You could fill purpose built stadiums for this stuff.

I don't understand why someone would turn emergency phone alerts off because they got an alert they where underwhelmed by.

They laughed and said 'It's a good model, sir!' ...
