Hmm, seems not so good.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
Best I can do is Upton Sinclair:
this is in my top 50 English things list.
Stackoverflow/exchange was built by public good will and now it's wilting because of LLMs.
harmed a valuable public resource in stackexchange in order for me/us to be able to do that, which is a tragedy of the commons.
this sounds cool and using LLMs to spit out how to do esoteric setup and integration of software/hardware components is another niche but "useful" case. I have used it to help me configure python on blender, which I could not have reliable expected to have got working.
OTOH it has ripped off and
This is a terrible and very uninformed take of Tim who should know better.
- heat pumps save around 80% gas today compared to gas boilers
- using renewable electricity is one of the most effective ways to reduce gas consumption
- the marginal emissions argument is deeply flawed (more in comments)
These traffic jams are a democratic choice.
Tech guys who only read self help books struggling to understand Shii'ism and glorious martyrdom
Two contrarian takes on policy strategies around active travel:
1) stop making PUBLIC "behaviour change" the central pillar of modal shift - if modal shift is agreed policy, you'd have a lot more impact by changing the attitudes and behaviours of those with the power to make it happen
NEW STUDY: “Thanks to the influence of the road lobby, the harms of driving are underestimated & overlooked, while measures that make walking, cycling, & public transport the easiest option are viewed with suspicion. Policy responses to reducing population-level driving…can create positive change.”
Hmmm. Reads like someone's been watching too much Industry.
The British didn't even invent lists, or newsletters. Woeful.
something like: "the British didn't even invent stealing things from abroad and putting them in museums named after their country, what a pathetic apology of a nation."
Empty Gas meter box.
Gas meter removed. Relieved to be off gas now we have a heat pump. Will save £100 a year just to be connected to it. FYI - that service charge will increase the more people abandon gas. #Netzero @myzerocarbon.org
Her policy decision further entrenched the UK's 'transatlantic' fiscal bind: a) it is too expensive to offer unskilled employment (the 'European' disease); b) the median earner isn't taxed enough (the 'American' disease)
I don't see the need to ask anyone else for comment on JK Rowling. Will Self has now said everything that needs to be said.
If you think that's bad, just wait until the cargo bike owners weigh in. (I can even plug my bike's charger directly into the solar inverter unit)
Economically ignorant and morally repugnant.
Apparently "the whole concept of asylum is outdated". And who could forget her marbles video.
It works to explain the appearance of the war but lacks predictive function.

🇺🇲🇮🇷 #BREAKING :
According to the Washington Post, the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division has been ordered to prepare for an incursion into Iran.
On the one hand TACO, on the other just think of the most obviously foolish, nonsensical, counterproductive and telegraphed in advanced thing. That's what will happen next week.
🇺🇸👀 The elite 82nd Airborne Division, which specializes in ground combat and other fraught missions, is awaiting new orders after the unexpected change of plans, - WP
Officials with U.S. Central Command, which oversees operations in the Middle East, declined to comment.
I'd say Dutch but there's not enough people attempting it to be sure.
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

1. In strategic terms this is correct.
2. The US military and intelligence apparatus still has immense resources and a lot of skilled people capable of big tactical wins in airstrike targeting and maybe down the line seizing Kharg.
3. Hubris generated by 2. reinforces 1.
This guy thinks he's slick and we don't notice
