Yeah that is totally unforgivable.

I have actually worked for the BBC. It all went downhill when they moved to media city in Manc. Bit of a disaster for staffing.

What the hell is that question?

I made exactly no comments about other countries or a comparison. That is a different argument.

Which bit is the propaganda? Do you know any actual Iranians? I do!
276.
by cryo32 4mo ago
That's what happens when you employ someone on their political stance (CND poster girl) rather than their editorial integrity...

Never thought of it from that perspective. They should read multiple sources too. BBC as well, which once the articles have settled, are quite good. (just ignore the breaking stuff which is dubious sometimes)

Fair points. The reformed DSMA notice system which replaced the D notice system in 2015 is somewhat more specific on what should not be reported. I think that's fit for purpose now. And it's still not legally binding. It's an

I'm not sure that the Grauniad has a particularly good global reputation for independent and critical journalism . It publishes the same mix of disguised opinion pieces and rather biased junk articles as the other side of the politica

Iran has been funding terrorist networks who are active in the UK and has taken direct action against UK citizens before on numerous occasions. They are also allied with Russia who are doing the same. They aren't some innocent party he

They have been trying to kill people in the UK for years. And have been funding proxies everywhere, some of whom have attacked the UK. We're not really even involved and I find it hard to agree with this point. However it should have b

I don’t want to host from a neighbourhood with criminals in it. It makes me look bad.

I’m never hosting or dealing with any companies in Iceland. I had a run in with a hosting company there who was DoS attacking us from compromised nodes. I emailed them and they told me to get a letter from a local lawyer telling them to sto

MPF102 is my favourite there. “It’s a JFET” is your only guarantee. Buy binned parts and design spec spread into it.

I just don't bother with television full stop.

I don't think all universities or research agencies are particularly pressed on this. I mean my daughter is a notable researcher in a scientific field and they have absolutely no pressure to use AI to pump out papers or deliver value q

My academic connections that I keep in touch with never really left the 1990s. And no one is pushing them on AI.

Well I rather like to be paid more than a mathematician so left academia rather quickly. In my case corporate modelling mostly involves making prediction models based on shitty data and metrics to make poorly contrived business decisions th

As a mathematician by trade I think they’re overblowing it. You can choose to use it or not. I choose not to because I enjoy the process. But I’m not doing formal research or getting paid to do it these days. I will note that the average co

Err me. I have a few 42S though so probably don’t need it. Edit: also three 15C and some slide rules. Think I have a problem.

No it should be done with DRC tooling which is deterministic.

That's about right. Instagram is the worst. "We won't remove this because it doesn't violate our content policy - just block the user if you don't like it". Yeah just seen someone's head cut off with a mac

Vibe coding is certainly the main part of it. But another problem is how deep our software and hardware stacks are. There is too much information to retain to solve problems now.

Yeah this stuff isn't even realistic as well. A number of years ago I was working on something professionally and there was a problem. Only about 1 in 5 boards assembled wouldn't crash the CPU. After much debugging it turned out o

People who don't care about the outcome, only the efficiency gains. If it's Meta that should be a big sign to get the hell off their platform.

You're not wrong. I'm forever cleaning up the turds they leave everywhere.

Bullshit in bullshit out.

by cryo32 5mo ago
I don’t know anyone other than a very small but vocal minority who will give a shit about this. Even in the analytics side most of the stuff is some shonky ass numpy or excel gank. I don’t know what the market is. I just can’t see it.

This is a brilliant take. I was talking to friends the other day and we were reminiscing about the old days where you'd email and phone people. And if there was a family event you'd shove a quite write up and some photos on your p
