Only if it can export its oil. Over to you, Ukraine…

If I knew who those two were, I might well agree. Firstly though, if 'vibe coding?' is the question, then LLM are NOT the answer. They can be v useful, when used in a rigorous software engineering environment, with appropriate specification, validation and regression testing. Otherwise, forget it…

That's European drivers of ICE vehicles. So get out of ICE…

What utter bollocks: the tragedy of this transition is that if companies put the same effort in to creating products and business models which exploit the changing regulatory environment, they'd end up with better products, a bigger global market and a healthier world. Idiots.

When CfDs are built atop a fundamentally flawed market model, all they do is inhibit the growth of less volatile, more life cycle cost-effective renewables.

Plus ça change… …but now we can add in criminal AND moral corruption, overt fascism and sheer overwhelming and petulant stupidity.

Dear Hungary, don’t steal people’s stuff: it annoys them.

For once, good use of our tax revenues. More of the same, please

There was very little in which he could not find humour: when I keeled over with kidney stones in the studio one day, he promptly wrote it up in his column in The Times with an ironic pejorative about the unhealthy lifestyle of dehydrating lycra-clad cyclists. Gone at 72, which is a damn shame. 2/2

Michael Bywater - Wikipedia

We've lost another one: Michael Bywater, author, columnist, wit, general smartarse and know-it-all, of whom Anne Kasriel once - after an evening spent trying to to trip him up on medical matters –  rightly said, "Michael has a bluff which cannot be called".

TIL that US juries can invoke 'Jury Nullification' if they believe that justice is best served by not convicting someone despite evidence that they have in fact committed the offence in question. Thanks to Prof. Hannah Fry for that snippet.

That’ll teach me: I just installed qwen3:8b under ollama, before realising that it’s an Alibaba model and therefore skewed by the political and repressive diktats of the CCP. Now pulled and being replaced by Mistral - I’ll take Gallic phlegmatism over Chinese or US hegemony

Oh yes, definitely. And water is usually more available than sand, unless your device catches fire on the beach!

Passer-by tried to tackle Glasgow vape shop fire which led to inferno Lamin Kongira told BBC Scotland News he had been walking past when a shopkeeper ran out saying

Bloody immigrants, coming over here and trying to to stop our cities from burning down…

…big shout out to this gentleman for his efforts

No. Li-ion fires need to be put out with water. Lots of water, and preferably immersion.

Situation now normal. In a good way

I hope not, but Glasgow has had so many ‘convenient’ fires in recent years

Live updates as fire breaks out in Glasgow city centre and trains cancelled A number of major roads in Glasgow city centre are currently shut after a fire broke out ...

Glasgow has - or had - some spectacularly varied and historical architecture. This today - the B-Listed Forsyth building, next to Central Station and the Central Hotel 😢 Fires in Glasgow buildings in recent years can only be a source of suspicion as to cause…

The bridging episode - they’re all looking good but a deal older - would be a very interesting writing challenge. I’d hope that a reboot would be with new storylines

If this turns out to be anything BUT a Firefly reboot, they'll be lynched by the fanbase!

Now it just means that you get looked at with a mixture of pity and contempt. The UK did just the same to itself, albeit with fewer explosions.

His medication must have run out.

AI singularity may come in 2027 with artificial 'super intelligence' sooner than we think, says top scientist We could build an AI that demonstrates generalized, human-level intelligence within three to eight years — which may open the door to a "super intelligence" in a very short space of time.

Only because the definition of The Singularity is movjng as fast in one direction as the horizon for autonomous vehicles is moving in the other. I predict that we may have a Slug Singularity by 2030

The spineless UK government is doing itself and whatever is left of the global perception of the UK immeasurable harm through its sophistry in allowing this traffic.

I’ve been to Yosemite 5 times, but never quite managed to get there for Firefall. I usually camp up a White Wolf - quieter there even in season. Just got to wait for the fall of the Nazis now

Yep - last time I was there, I’d been at Burning Man, so came down after Labor Dat w/wend and was pleasantly surprised at how empty the place was

Lovely shot: I really miss Yosemite, and hope to be able to return one day, without being arrested and deported

That is somewhat unusual: the last Mac I had that was determinedly unreliable was the godawful PowerBook 5300 - we had about a dozen of the things and finally sent them all back
