You seem to be missing why people object very strongly to digital IDs. The digital ID along with mandatory "age" checks and a potential ban on VPNs was widely seen as part of a push by the Starmer government to strip people's

If it's just the singlet and the shoes you would expect lots of other runners to get close too. It's surprising that the previous record stood for 27 years if the equipment has been progressing since then.

Sorry I think you misunderstand me. I'm not pitching Apple as the best or only solution, I'm saying that selling local inference seems to fit with their current marketing goals. Selling high end, high margin computers that have lo

I would guess it's because Apple are a hardware vendor that at least talks about privacy as a selling point. The M series chips provide large amounts of GPU RAM so I think people can see a world where Apple sells local first, privacy f

Now it would be interesting to give it some text on blurry nonsense to see what affect that has. Probably that it just reports it can't find the second message or that one is not present but I wonder if it would flag it up and if that

FYI the current run of Korg PS-3300 sold out in minutes even at £11,000.

Hmm, I sort of get this but I also think people fetish treating tools badly and then complain when they break. I have a micrometer. It's delicate and lives in a velvet lined case. I could treat it like a hammer but I know that once th

In someways this isn’t that unlike the past. I saw that Pete Townsend has donated his synths to a school in West London. That includes a Yamaha GX-1 and an EMS modular. That’s some of the rarest (and largest) synths ever made and would have

Very true especially in this day and age. I think by “professional” I mean someone already successful rather than an up and comer.

Likely around £11,000 I heard. That gives me the same feeling as a concert grand piano or installed pipe organ. I'll never get to own one or probably even touch one but I'm glad they exist for professional musicians to use. Lucki

Good point. The full title was too long so I edited it down. Hopefully this is clearer.

They probably couldn't. Farage is in very safe seat. He wouldn't have called the election otherwise. You don't vote for a comedy character to win an election in a safe seat, because they won't. You vote for Binface bec

Then he should probably say that. Almost no words are exclusively "British English" as it is the original and oldest dialect of the language.

Actually the prior art is Screaming Lord Sutch of the Monster Raving Looney Party[1] who started in 1963. As a former Monster Raving Looney I have decided to defect to the Binface Party based on their sensible policies on the hand dryer in

Of course but we're talking about vintage control room designs here, some of which predate that investigation, so it still seems relevant to point out.

Vintage nuclear plants are also infamously used as the canonical examples of bad UI in teaching. To paraphrase, the Three Mile Island Disaster happened because the operators couldn't discern the right red light in a sea of other lights

An easy to learn UI is not without merit but neither is a complex UI with greater inherent flexibility. I like old, analogue synthesisers. To pick two very famous examples: I love the MiniMoog because it's very low friction. https:&#x

Very true. It reminds me of the aesthetic[1] of German musician Hainbach[2]'s studio. He makes use of a lot of early test equipment. The look is very functional but not ugly. It's not colourful but everything is well made becaus

OpenAI is a company built on copyright violation. That means it’s in the corporate DNA to treat laws as things for little people. Apple have deep enough pockets that they can actually sue OpenAI but I bet OpenAI are surprised they got caugh

I know I do. I think the main purpose of the EU is to prevent wars between European states by providing a forum for compromise and cooperation. I’d say it’s succeeded in that nicely since its founding. Not one war between member states desp
