99% of the appeal of Art of War is that it has a catchy title...

"metal health" 🤘

Wait until he realises why there is a 57 on the neck of Heinz ketchup bottles...

You mean the flat side?

It's like a boring version of the studio scenes from "Don't Look Up"

There is also a "How easy should it be to kill?" question.

I don't see where in the decision pipeline LLMs come into the question.

The type of answers they producing is incompatible with Type I decision making.

Like what are the scenarios?

"Tell me what to bomb in Tehran?"

Just mentioning that prices will rise in Europe as well and a bit of propaganda will go a long way questioning them financing the Ukrainian war while at the same time helping Russia.

It can be entirely a plot to help Putin.

my first question, exactly

All commodity people become Gold Bugs eventually...

I meant the underlying health that the stats measure.

After the big wins, they need 1000 different initiatives to shave off a week here and there.

Any systematic lapse (like since 2010) and they stop yielding.

I would agree with this.

Maintaining these stats is disciplined and tedious and the NHS simply doesn't have the capacity (money, people or attention).

I was joking... ;)

Calling football soccer immediately disqualifies one... /s

_not_ "ex-U.S. attorney"...

They have the scale, but on a low level, they are interchangeable with each other or self-managed datacenters

Architecting this would be the task of the team I mentioned above and then the procurement problem would appear differently. Rather than buying SME from Palantir, they buy commodity compute

The main idea is to have control.

IMHO, hyperscalers are fine until they don't cause any dependencies. You don't rely on their proprietary services.

All critical infra component OSS, and everything hybrid cloud, which not only manages continuity but also because you buy commodity lowers price.

What's happening now is the very opposite of supply chain risk. Literally, the absolute critical components of the UK state are outsourced in ways that could damage the entire system.

What if Trump tells the NHS to pay more for medicine or they shut down Palantir's product?

That's true, but I don't think it needs to go that level. But the NHS budget is 200 billion, a small fraction of which could fund an engineering team capable of solving the "build vs buy" problem.

Currently there is no "build".

The UK have bits and pieces, bit I guess once it would be strengthened and get paid real money the tabloids/right wing politicians/lobbyists/consultancies/bigtech would jump on it and ruin it.

Like literally everyone is counter interested in this to happen and work.

It's ridiculous that the large UK government entities doesn't have a software engineering team comparable to large tech. companies.

The UK pays more this way, gets a worse service and gets security risks.

Small state is a lie.

Or too high...

Just for the record, did I read that right? "Children marrying"???

These people read the 9/11 conteos and gone "I want to do some of that s**t"

Congrats on Labour alienating a large chunk of their voters for nothing...

"If we had some ham, we can make some ham and eggs, if we would have some eggs..."

They are three press conference away from "special military operation"...

These are not wars.

I don't know what reality and satire is any more...

The sign is that the US society is unwilling or unable to put any check on the oligarchs power. So far the oligarchs didn't tolerate Trump level politics (or the weren't aware of their power).

Now they don't care. They think they're would survive (prob abroad) a collapse of the state.

If you live in a place you need a gun, you need to move...

I consider blue Labour an "entryism", it is a contradiction on its own.

Practically no evidence of their worth, how do they have any weight with Labour's majority as it is?

Starmer is definitely bad. at politics and pre election boringness is essentially inadequacy.
