- Comment on Google’s new weather prediction system combines AI with traditional physics. 3 months ago:
Ummm was weather foresting not always done using probalistic interference models, i.e AI?
Weather forecasts have recently felt like they’ve been less accurate, i.e. you maybe get a good level of confidence for a day, but two days and it might be completely different. This makes sense given the climate is changing and previous models wont fit as well…
Are LLMs going to consume search data for raincoats and air-conditioning to improve the weather forecast. Clearly time to invest in AI now, the revolution is here!

This is just project fear, why would the Tories want to asset strip and destroy the country they live in, just for temporary gain.
- Comment on ONS staff refuse to work two days a week in office 6 months ago:
The arbitrary n days a week requirement is just a simple lazy way of ensuring people visit the buildings consistently so there is a valid reason to keep them paid for. It will also continue to be n+1 until things return to as they were or peoples investments are no longer going to benefit with more forced return to office.
Face to face meetings can be organised anywhere. Its just inefficient to be using a building and requiring people to travel for what does mostly amount to sitting on your own on teams calls anyway. The requirement to have people sitting in places where you occasionally bump into them just smacks of bad management.
In person meetings can be useful for improving social relations. Mandating n days a week on the off chance you might have a useful meeting is asinine.

Office for national statistics, people who collate and curate data for analysis by other administrative groups. Do you mean they need to buy boots meal deals because that will help them open up excel?

- Comment on Increase your Linux Server Internet Speed with TCP BBR Congestion-Control 7 months ago:
Cool! This seems like an good write up on it
…medium.com/tcp-bbr-exploring-tcp-congestion-cont…
Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR) is a TCP congestion control algorithm developed at Google in 2016. Up until recently, the Internet has primarily used loss-based congestion control, relying only on indications of lost packets as the signal to slow down the sending rate. This worked decently well, but the networks have changed. We have much more bandwidth than ever before;
The Internet is generally more reliable now, and we see new things such as bufferbloat that impact latency. BBR tackles this with a ground-up rewrite of congestion control, and it uses latency, instead of lost packets as a primary factor to determine the sending rate.

- Comment on Brexit’s Lasting Damage Is Looking Inescapable 7 months ago:
How is this classism? Your original comment also changed ordinary people to working class, which I consider myself to be both part of.
You are suggesting that Brexit was some fight against some elite. The EU is a neo liberal mess, but the Tories who pushed this through by stoking bigotry are full on fascist and fully just taking advantage of useful idiots like yourself. Disaster capitalism is not a new concept
Victorian pencil made a fortune out of this shit show.
And of course David Cameron is laughing all the way as he whistles his way out of power by giving a big fuck you to the EU tax laws

Yeah, you show them elites…

Assuming you’re not paid or being forced to do this, you must know you’re being used as a tool for the fascists you claim to despise. Platforming trump is support and I see there is no mention of the direct relationship to Putin in all the very loud refuting of this support…
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 8 months ago:
I really can’t be bothered going and finding all the pretty fucking obvious examples of you shitheads either apologising or glorifying putin, or coming out with pure incel stuff, or platforming trump. Which makes sense given it seems to be the same campaign as before, and its pretty fucking obvious at this point, very sloppy… I’ve clearly hit a nerve lol. It’d be great if you all could change track at this point and stop platforming that odious cunt, don’t worry I know there is unfortunately no option to stop shilling putin…

You’re the same pack of fucking incels mixed in with the same russian shilling from 2016, that post was from an hour ago, took me seconds to find it

If they weren’t such weasels and actually agrued back rather than just ban people like the spineless dimwit twats they are, I’d say the argument that they are easily filtered holds. But given they are just looking to propagate their shilling for Russia, trump (and they definitely do this) etc… fuck em!

Yeah I think about that even with the tankie trolls on here, is it just some poor fuck enlisted in the russian war effort to shill for Putin’s imperial dreams

Odd the BBC choose to clarify here
… Love scams. The latter are also known as “pig butchering” scams, named after the farming practice of fattening pigs before slaughtering them.

the economyrich peoples yaught money - Comment on The 'Effective Accelerationism' movement doesn't care if humans are replaced by AI as long as they're there to make money from it 10 months ago:
Well, what I seen this image as was the classic divide and conquer strategy of the capitalist classes against the working class and/or arbitrary race category to enable them to control and/or murder at will.
However, this image is actually a complete gas lighting exercise in using toxic characteristics from capitalism to describe communism. I didn’t notice the hammer and sickle, which to be fair makes no fucking sense…
The relevance to the above post was really trying to play on
“The Production of too many useful things results in too many useless people”
which I take as a satirical poke at the deficiencies of capitalism, although it’s of unknown origin as far as I know…
If automation does reach a point where labour isn’t needed, then it may well encourage the likes of Murdoch et al to intensify the encouragement of class war.
Sorry, I clearly don’t pay enough to the shit I post :(

- Comment on [UK] Disabled people could be moved to care homes to save council money 10 months ago:
Is it the fault of the people being manipulated, rather than of those doing the manipulating? Fuck no.
Fair point, but there does seem to be plenty who do seem like they should have the capacity to understand, but choose not to.
And as you alluded to, lets not pretend Labour gives a shit about disabled people either (nor that this problem is somehow unique to the UK), so it’s not like we have anyone to vote for who will not fuck us over.
True, although if enough people understood they were being fucked, things could change. Like if the Murdoch rags told them (sorry, I’m miserable facetious cunt)
- Comment on [UK] Disabled people could be moved to care homes to save council money 10 months ago:
Yeah this is just the first step in removing state support for disabled people. Everything these evil cunts have done from the beginning has been so fucking obvious.
The big society, where private individuals would contribute to things like food banks, while they gut state support. Reducing support for GP practices while incentivising fully private practices to be set up, handing contracts to big American healthcare/insurance companies.
How is this not obvious to people in the UK, or do they know and want the UK to turn into a hellhole?
