- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 1 week ago:
I’m guessing it’s because he’s a prick. That’s is, isn’t it?
- Comment on Have you watched masterpiece named "Happy"? 2 weeks ago:
Wayne. Trust me, this is the one, although you’ll hate that there was never a second series, it’s still phenomenal
- Comment on U.K. cops are going undercover as joggers. Will it stop women runners from being harassed? 2 weeks ago:
Might help them work off those doughnuts I suppose
- Comment on Record warm seas help to bring extraordinary new species to UK waters 2 weeks ago:
To be clear, this is not a good thing
- Comment on ‘Not what our roads are built for’: Trump’s hope to see more US cars in Tokyo, London is a hard sell 3 weeks ago:
I met a modern US pickup in a little English town the other day. It was pretty much the same size as the 7.5t truck I was driving, and the owner couldn’t judge his road positioning well enough not to be holding up traffic. All for what is essentially a 5 seat car, it was ludicrous

Ground up and in my freezer?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
One of my mates got his plums snipped in his 20s, still doesn’t regret it. Another of my mates spent his whole life saying he wasn’t going to have kids, and seriously considered the snip, but was grateful he didn’t when he met the now mother of his kids in his mid 40s. Life’s weird, and only (and sometimes not even) you can really know your own mind
- Comment on UK watchdog threatens Ticketmaster with legal action over way Oasis tickets were sold 1 month ago:
Aww, come on, winding up oasis fans is practically a national sport at this point. The only people who rise to the bait faster are Radiohead fans
- Comment on UK watchdog threatens Ticketmaster with legal action over way Oasis tickets were sold 1 month ago:
Surely they should be threatening Oasis with legal action for selling them in the first place. Calling that “music” is definitely one for trading standards
- Comment on Fixed speed camera toppled hours before switch-on 1 month ago:
That’s exactly how I read it, I had to go through the article a couple of times to make sure I was getting what the author meant, and I think it’s exactly that
- Comment on Global cocaine market hit new record highs: UNODC 2 months ago:
Someone was very pleased with themselves for coming up with that headline

Now jail the bastards
- Comment on New AI test can predict which men will benefit from prostate cancer drug 2 months ago:
We need more enlightening terms for this stuff. The hallucinatory waffling waste of energy isn’t AI, it’s all LLMs. The models which work well in medicine aren’t generally LLMs, and aren’t even known as Generative AI either, they’re very advanced data aggregation systems. If we keep calling everything AI, it all gets erroneously lumped together and tarred with the same brush, held in a badly drawn hand with too many fingers. The data science used in medical images is a world away from LLM nonsense, and has been making decent progress for at least a decade - here are some of the more amazing uses

Now start jailing the executives responsible
- Comment on Is it OK to leave device chargers plugged in all the time? An expert explains 2 months ago:
Yeah, that’s pretty much my attitude. Why am I worrying about a watt here and a watt there when muppets are constantly asking LLMs inane questions and getting them to make dodgy hentai.
- Comment on Is it OK to leave device chargers plugged in all the time? An expert explains 2 months ago:
I have a whole bunch plugged in constantly for various synth nonsense. Running off solar, I thought it would be worth seeing how much of a difference it makes turning everything off at night, and basically it wasn’t worth the effort. It’s like a percentage point on top of the things like my fridge that run constantly, and is way less than using my toaster once a week. That said, if you’re on mains, it’s probably a worthy consideration if a lot of people were to do it, but it’s also probably comparable to using ChatGPT once a day or something
- Comment on I knew it 2 months ago:
In fairness, my aesthetic of choice is brutalism, so if I became ungodlyly famous, my house would very much look like a bunker, which is proof you can have your cake and eat it

The new Ukrainian sea drones are no joke, SAMs and a minigun in addition to torpedoes make them incredibly versatile
