- Comment on Causes of death, or track list for latest black metal album? 2 days ago:
It’s ageneric term for an open hole between two spaces where there should be a wall. The two spaces might include “outside”, but could be two internal spaces (e.g. between the intestine and abdominal cavity)

Not only that. It’s your home secretary, foreign secretary, treasurer and energy minister. There couldn’t be 4 more relevent people.

Is it just me that always reads the word “travesty” with sarcasm.
Oh, yeah. Sure. You’re so upset it leaked.

When there’s no support system, there’s no benefit to reporting it. Only risk.

…protect women
Can we please stop gender-ising these things? Anyone in a domestic abuse situation needs help. Anyone committing domestic abuse needs repercussions.

- Comment on 10!=10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 1 week ago:
6 Weeks * 7 days * 8 * 3 (24) hours * 2 * 4 * 5 * 9 * 10 (3600 = 60²) seconds
The last one is a bit of a jump, but 94 is 36 and 105*2 is 100 so together it’s 3600.

That sounds perfect for conducting parliamentary business in. Get them off their phones whilst debating.

Massage… that’s what I’m meant to get riled up about?
We’re talking about leaking national secrets and predatory sexual actions. BBC needs to get some perspective.
- Comment on Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?” 2 weeks ago:
Yea, but it’s growth is limited. People seem incapable of using a platform if there isn’t an algorithm telling them what to look at.

Well that’s going to be a good vector for feeding disinformation to the police.

- Comment on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office 2 weeks ago:
I suspect he’s more likely the one that will turn on the others to save himself.
- Comment on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office 2 weeks ago:
If a king or past queen were to be accused. It is technically impossible. As our whole criminal justice system is based on the king Vs the defendent/accused.
It’s not “The King vs…”. It’s “The Crown vs…”. It might seem a pedantic point, but the crown is a concept similar to “the state”, and distinct from any monarch.
A case being “The Crown vs. HRH King Charles III” is perfectly feasible. The monarch being subject to law is a concept that goes back over 800 years.
Other then the king. The only people fully free of the justice system. Are MPs when acting in parliament itself.
They are not free of the whole justice system. They have limited parliamentary privileges mainly related to what they can say without consequences, but they couldn’t murder their opponents.

I hope the police will be taking position of all documents to make sure evidence doesn’t evaporate.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 3 weeks ago:
I’m 90% certain that none of the resources being “bought” by AI actually have been sold, or created yet.
Indeed. The prices skyrocketed because vendors realised they couldn’t get replacement supply in the future. What existed today was all they were going to get.
I’m expecting a glut of supply once those contracts fall through.
Speaking of the auto industry: Is AI a mirage, like the dreams of a working rotary engine?
It is, but I think it’s a different type of mirage. The rotary engine does work, but it brings with it significant downsides. Getting the positives without the negatives is the mirage being chased.
AI appears to do one thing, but actually does another. People see it “creating” new things, but it’s more like it shreds work up and then glues the pieces together making sure it looks consistent. Train it on one work and it can reproduce that work. Train it on two and it will mash the two. Train it on a billion and it will mash the billion. Nothing creative,. No extrapolation. Just interpolation.
People want the AI promise regardless of the downsides. It just doesn’t exist.

- Comment on Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK 4 weeks ago:
I’m all for clear labelling on food. I think it’s important. I don’t see the need to stop them using “milk” in any form. As long as it’s part of hyphenate “oat-milk” there shouldn’t be an issue.
