wastewater

The national aggregate wastewater estimate is in the highest since July 2024 kind of zone. And while some individual catchments (in the north) are like that (check the maps tab at poops.nz for detail), a lot of the aggregate is that covid is up everywhere at the same time.

β€œThe only way to protect children is to restrict adult’s freedom” is perhaps the most destructive impulse of the current wave of political think

My biggest argument for how I know Claude isn't self aware is that they AI guys care about it. If it had wants and needs, they'd abandon it immediately.

If your GP practice is using an AI scribe I have two suggestions: first, demand clarity on privacy (storage, access, policy). Second, ensure they personally verify accuracy. We’ve seen clinically important errors, and doctors who couldn’t explain where the data was going. Patient safety failures.

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

Useful graph for the debt scare folks. Govt debt-servicing costs are super low these days. So much headroom to invest in the many, many things we need for the long-term, yet still we beg for eye-wateringly expensive private finance.

Too broke to pay tax? Methanex pays $70m dividend to Canadian owner The Govt has paid hundreds of millions in subsidies to the Taranaki-based methanol producer; now there are calls to speed its exit from NZ. Jonathan Milne reports.

So just to be clear Luxon wants Kiwi families to pay a new tax on their power bills to build an LNG terminal that we don’t need & that will cook the climate, so that Methanex, a company contributing 0 dollars in tax themselves, can keep sending their profits offshore. newsroom.co.nz/2025/04/30/m...

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
