Wow, with this impressive growth we will be recovered by only 2300!
- Comment on Open Source Python ETL 5 months ago:
What is ETL?
Their website doesn’t say, the hackernews comments don’t say. I could Google it but tbh this is on the people announcing their product to have not even said what it is properly
- Comment on Jan Leike's OpenAI departure statement 5 months ago:
So he is leaving because it “came to a breaking point” where his safety team was not able to do it’s job properly, but he believes the openai team can course the ship in the right direction?
Some careful wording to not burn bridges there
- Comment on Transport secretary considers ban on floating bus stops in UK cycle lanes 6 months ago:
Well I think the stupidity of the proposal is summarised here:
There is also some doubt about the safety case for a ban. In London, which has the highest number of floating bus stops in the UK, statistics for 2020-22 showed that of 623 pedestrians injured after being struck by a bike, 0.6% of them – four in all – were hit at floating bus stops. None of these incidents appeared to have happened at a designated crossing point.
Over the same period, 11,400 pedestrians and 15,000 cyclists were injured after being hit by motor vehicles.

- Comment on MoD giving Ukrainian soldiers in the UK free cigarettes to 'boost morale' 6 months ago:
The key sentence being:
A source, familiar with the deal, told the Telegraph: ‘It is fair to say that smoking is going to be less of a threat to these brave soldiers’ lives than fighting Putin’s illegal invasion of their country.’

- Comment on Meta cancelled climate change ads, then cancelled a local newspaper that reported about the ads, then a blogger who reported on the paper's cancellation, and now has escalated to blocking all of LGF for posting the blogger's story 7 months ago:
websites that serve users in the EU need to allow you to decline cookies, not just tell you about the fact they use them. this website is actually breaking EU privacy law, it’s definitely not what the I would consider protective

I’m glad they clarified it was for fighting on horseback and not for the horses themselves
- Comment on Petition: Call an immediate general election 1 year ago:
That’s a false comparison. One party has created the mess over a period of 13 years. The other party wants to change it. Comparing which can better fix the mess just isn’t a good comparison

Healthcare is tailored to the patient, and thus the specialists in the flavour of healthcare needed are assigned to the relevant wards. It’s a recipe for medical mistakes if the patients get mixed
