The IRA bombs in civilian areas in the uk almost always had phone calls that preceded the bombs going off.

That was a terrible experience. For a start that site has an expired certificate, as do many of the pages it suggested, and of the pages that worked it was mostly people that dippe…

It might be because it wasn’t a technique as such. I don’t visualise not thinking, I just stop thinking about things, but I also don’t have a constant inner voice talking to/with m…

Sounds trite but my surefire method is to stop thinking. I literally lie down, close my eyes, and stop thinking. Sleep comes quickly.

In the UK it was “Attack Henry Cooper, outside his shop, on a Tuesday” no idea why the random violence but I never forgot it

The repetition of adjectives in adjacent sentences is much more of a tell than using the word delve, imo.

I don't know, maybe the 10 prior weeks of sleeping in hypoxic tents might have had some effect too. If they walked off the street, huffed some Xenon then blasted up Everest that'd …

How are you supposed to know in advance if it is going to be able to usefully answer your question or will just make up something?

You might, just as ages ago when people were complaining about juniors c+ping stack overflow answers you might have said you used them to learn from. LLMs are a turbo charged versi…

Training people is a cost, an investment, if everyone does it the cost is amortized across the industry. If I can cut that cost by using AI I'm now at a competitive advantage, ever…

But they don't learn from that, they turn the crank of the AI tooling and once they have something that works it goes in and they move on. I've seen this directly, you can't shortc…

The why is because we can, but damn am I finding the tools being built with, or having tacked on, AI depressing. Is this a small glimpse of the future we're building for ourselves?…

I think you're ignoring the externalities of supporting a business/country that is doing things you don't agree with. If ACo can sell me widget cheaper than BCo because they dump t…

An endless supply of content you like is infinitely more problematic than just shovelling irrelevant slop at you. With the latter you’re going to put it down.

Just listened to the Buck Bumble soundtrack and that is very much garage not jungle.

There isn’t one, as you say it’s over 2000km between them, the only link is that when Britain was administrating them it did so as a single territory. This is not some reunificatio…

I thought the translation of the first of the trilogy was stilted and flat, I could appreciate and enjoy the underlying story but the prose felt like a mechanical translation. The …

Consider for a moment that maybe your experience isn't universal. I took both of mine to baby sign classes and both were able to communicate things such as hungry, tired, milk, nap…

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

I would suggest you don't understand the equivalence because it's not there. They aren't saying that creating something with polish is expecting to make money off it. They're sayin…

It feels like AI in an OS is going to be the next Internet Explorer. MS are going to bundle their version with special hooks and integrations and it's going to be impossible to com…

The biggest issue with the UK plug is when it’s been left unplugged, lying pin up, in the dark. It’s got to be the most painful one to stand on.

$20 one time purchase, I think I'll be getting this at release. I understand the subscription model but for things like this that I will probably play with for a bit then possibly …

Probably not that one but I’ve seen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bridge_(2006_documentary... powerful film.

Not everyone who supported Brexit in the UK was a right wing xenophobe but look where they ended up.
