The cost of a passport is negligible (~£10 per year on average), and it’s not reasonable to expect the UK to spend a lot of money architecting the system around a very small minority of dual citizens who don’t have passports.

I’m sorry but this is an awful take. gov.uk’s design is excellent, probably the best government interface in the world. My friends from other European countries are literally shocked at how easy things are to do (often, tasks that in their

Fairly regularly an 80-something will end up driving down the wrong carriageway of a motorway or dual carriageway. Fairly regularly this results in deaths.

Why not just use Ok/Error which is an accepted idiom and shorter than Success/Failure? I see this so often in new languages, making poor choices seemingly only to distinguish themselves from existing languages

> I'm jealous of my kids since they are so much better off in every way Really? It’s interesting how much I see this take online. I never see people saying this IRL.

This is true, and I think a good indicator of its truth is that basically all generations agree about it. Even Gen Z, who weren’t alive at the time.

This should surprise nobody. Do you really think that the intelligence agencies of the US etc would allow mainstream E2E encryption? Please stop being so naive

For what it’s worth, Anthropic very strongly claim that they don’t degrade model performance by time of day [1]. I have no reason to doubt that, imo Anthropic are about as ethical as LLM companies get. [1] https://www.anthropic.c

My take: learning how to do LLM-assisted coding at a basic level gets you 80% of the returns, and takes about 30 minutes. It's a complete no-brainer. Learning all of the advanced multi-agent worklows etc. etc... Maybe that gets you an

I want to write less, because quite frankly I get zero satisfaction from having an LLM churn out code for me, in the same way that Vincent van Gogh would likely derive no joy from using Nano Banana to create a painting. And sure, I could st

I’m not sure I agree. I expect that an Indian would similarly be more likely to coin the term “Krish Singh Facts” than they would “Sanjay Ghemawat Facts”, in exactly the same way we do. I’d be interested to hear from someone from a differen

It’s to do with the length of the name. My own name is polysyllabic and also wouldn’t work as a “Fact”, and I’m as white as they come.
