Safer than ChatGPT you say? Wow…
That isn’t a high bar.

It changes.
In the UK the sequence Cameron -> May -> Johnson -> Truss -> Sunak definitely had differences. They were variations on a theme sure, but there were differences.

Impeachment just opens somebody up to trial without the protections of the office. It does not remove them from office.

Probably depends on what you mean by populist.
- Enacts the popular-will of the people: sure, maybe
- Stuffed full of people who will lie to the people just to be popular: sure, maybe.

Try reading them in bed laying on your back. When you fall asleep and drop them on your face, the heavy ones will make you cry.
- Comment on How Much Energy Does It Take to Power Billions of AI Queries? 2 days ago:
I’m with you. I think the markets are going to be demanding results very soon now. When they do…Nvidia, Meta, Google, X, Microsoft stock prices are all going to go into free-fall.

Datacentres powered by coal are bad. Cruise ships are worse.
Coal Vs Marine fuel. You’ve picked the kings of pollution.
Coal is worse for CO2. The free carbon it releases binds with oxygen in the atmosphere to produce more CO2 mass than the coal itself. It’s crazy how much CO2 it generates.
Heavy fuel oil / bunker oil / marine fuel is cheap ass shit that contains masses of pollutants. So whilst it won’t generate as much CO2, it will create a load of other stuff including Sulphur Dioxide. That creates acid rain.
Here’s an idea. Let’s do neither of them.
- Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe 2 days ago:
Which is what Textsecure was. The precursor to Signal. Signal did it too, but removed it because it confused stupid people.
- Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe 2 days ago:
Signal has never done that. Whilst the app might not be available in some regions they’ve been proud to talk about how people can use it to avoid government barriers.
- Comment on 'Buy one, get one free' deals for unhealthy food banned in supermarkets 5 days ago:
FFS the problem is the price disparity between standard prices and “loyalty card” prices. It’s anti-competitive.
How is that not obvious to politicians?

- Comment on Keir Starmer says digital ID cards an ‘enormous opportunity’ for the UK 1 week ago:
Yes, but we don’t actually want that.
We live in a surveillance state and don’t want it to go further.
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 1 week ago:
No they can’t because we use them for different things. One ID means one system that tracks everything. Also, you don’t have to have a passport. You don’t have to have a driving license. Everybody needs an NI number to work, but it’s not an ID (No photo, DOB, etc).
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 1 week ago:
You’re nearly 40 and have to show ID to buy alcohol?

I’d miss mexican food, but some arsehole bundled it with the USA.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 1 week ago:
The sad truth is that, regardless of your intention, it does exclude them. Even if they’ve put some effort in and learnt some basics, they’re unlikely to jump in to group of natives talking.
I don’t think there’s a good solution. I’ve been on all sides at work.
- Having fast conversations in English and realising too late that somebody is completely excluded.
- I’ve been excluded because people are speaking a language I don’t know (e.g. Danish – what the hell is that!!!)
- …and I’ve caught people talking behind my back about me because they didn’t know I could understand a bit of Dutch. To be fair I didn’t know either but my subconscious worked out enough from German.
- Comment on Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll 2 weeks ago:
Which doesn’t explain the reform support.
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 2 weeks ago:
When you’re working you need to communicate in a lot more depth than that though. That’s exactly why they want to talk Spanish, to speed up communication or be more precise.
Social language skills are on the easier side. You can get away with a lot of mistakes.

Whoa whoa whoa! We were all having a good time joking about killing people and you had to bring religion into it.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 2 weeks ago:
You’re missing the point that the universe is expanding uniformly. That means two points acceleration away from each other is dependent on their distance apart. The further they are from each other the faster they accelerate from each other.
So GP is right. We measure red shift and infer distance.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 2 weeks ago:
Right, but I don’t get why this thread is full of people talking about collisions. Even if it was moving at the speed of light (it’s not) it’s still billions of years away.
It would just prove our theory of universe inflation to be incorrect.

Data is copied 100s of times just from a server to your device.
- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 weeks ago:
6 figure jobs are still common, but not at the entry level. The companies that used to offer such thing are taking that money and investing in AI, thinking that they won’t need new blood.
They’re wrong, but that’s what’s happening.
- Comment on Shipping costs will no longer exist if teleportation is invented. 2 weeks ago:
Once teleportation exist, so do replicators and all costs apart from energy costs disappear.
