I've been thinking for a while, there's not real winners here except the incumbent technology providers. Hear me out: all models are converging towards the same level, gains are getting smaller and harder to come by. The models ar

In this episode, I look at the new wave of AI "creators" that are cannibalizing attention and resources away from real creators. It's time to do something but no one seems to care.

There's a bunch of SDR cyberdecks, there's a few that both lots more. Take a look at this one: https://hackaday.io/project/174301-raspberry-pi-sdr-cyberdec... Or this one: https://hackaday.io/

That is what they do. Male, female, man, woman, boy, girl are sex categories, not gender categories, that is they predate the very idea of gender as distinct from sex. Sports categories never had anything to do with gender. The other differ

I have proclaimed RAG is dead many times, and I stand by it. RAG is Dead! Long Live Agentic RAG! || Long Live putting stuff in databases where it damn well belongs! I think you agree with the people saying RAG is Dead, or at least you agree

If you're rights are contingent on circumstance, they're not rights. I don't see anything there encouraging a riot. There is no call to action. We should know this isn't enough to convict, since a Labour councillor who c

That non crime hate incident goes on your criminal record and if you need an enhanced criminal records check, it will show up, and can be used to deny you employment. Its not just intimidation.

That's the position I came to based on these rulings, or lack thereof. I think of all the reasons open source shouldn't accept AI created code is that it can't be protected, and that has the potential to threaten the whole pr

In this case isn't it more that: Every sculpture that is made, every picture drawn, every bed left unmade, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. From where I'm s

Yeah, its almost as if the knives aren't the problem. The gang memebrs will use whatever gives them an advantage, guns, knives, acid, bats, bricks. We can't ban everything, we should possibly tackle the cause instead of the sympto

No, and the blades created because of the methods used, would likely not be covered by the legislation anyway, theres a carve out for antiques and weapons made using traditional methods (now define traditional methods, because the law doesn

No, this is exactly how Amazon management works. Members of a team creates a report explaining the state of their small section of the business, usually a 2x2 grid of boxes to fill. This is then reviewed, usually in an in person meeting tha

I can't get enough of Borges. His way with words and way to highlight to absurdity of situations is first class. My favorite is the Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge. It's a critique of the classification used by the Inst

No, the age verification doesn't, the linking of adult profiles to real human people, which is required to enable the age verification is. Did you watch the linked video? There's an MP admitting they are doing this

I never thought I'd say this, but I now fully approve of social media bans for children, screw under 16s, let's go further no children on the internet full stop. No mobile data plans for under 18s, arrest parents if they are found

political dissent. Uncomfortable truths. Any speech that does not align with the official narrative. A Labour MP foolish attended a GB News show and when pushed admitted that the Online Safety Act was also about identifying speech by adults

that's difficult when most post is dropped in a metal box on a street. But I'd argue that not the issue people have with the way these laws work in practice. For those that don't use the UK postal service, Royal Mail has a re

It's interesting that other native groups, all of which have intermixed with others over thousands of years don't have to defend their right to their ethnic identity. The English ethnic group is defined by a shared genetics and cu

Sports teams aren't a particularly good criteria, I could be Scottish or Welsh and play for England, it's one of those idiocracies of living in a country that pretends to be 4. Denying the existence of an ethic group is extremely

I agree, they are not ethnically English, they are British citizens and have all the rights that come with citizenship, the same as every other UK citizen including those that would call themselves English. You think there's some kind

That might be true, but the votes (not seats, first past the post, almost guarantees people aren't represented): Labour: 9.7M Conservatives 6.8M Reform: 4.1M Liberal Democrats 3.5M The point clearly stands that had Reform not been a th

Wait a news channel gave more air time to the current prime minister and his cabinet, the guy and team with the power, than someone else. Consider me shocked! Have you considered that by choosing different time periods you get different res

think its important to leave some context here: As far as it is known, Kelly walked a mile (1.6 km) from his house to Harrowdown Hill. It appears he ingested up to 29 tablets of co-proxamol, an analgesic drug; he also cut his left wrist wit

I guess it depends on what you mean by English. England is a country, but you can't have an English passport, you can only get a UK passport. so, English is a kinda-sorta a non-nationality, but it is very much an ethnic group. I don&#x

Maybe this is the key takeaway of GenAI: that some access to data, even partially hallucinated data, is better than the hoops that the security theatre puts in place that prevents average Joe doing their job. This might just be a golden age
