Absolutely shameful reform, the only reason it's happening is because Labour holds a majority in that age bracket. This will backfire spectacularly once the younger generation flips to some kind of tik-tok popular right wing strongman.

The killer feature of Claude Code is that you can just pay for Max and not worry about API billing. It lets me use it pretty much all the time without stressing over every penny or checking the billing page. Until they do that - I'm st

I have never in my entire life seen a better example of the "we have always been at war with Eastasia" phenomenon than the recent US switch from anti- to pro-Russia stance.

Yes, Zelensky just called Trump's bluff more or less.

It's also something that sounds very appealing to Trump's base who have little understanding of the government's inner workings, but finally have something concrete that they understand they can point to, to show how "us

They should have never had them in the first place. I have been a strong critic of wokeness, DEI, and all that nonsense. Yet, it is mind-blowing and eye-opening to see how quickly these companies can bend to the will of a powerful autocrat.

And using BlueSky as an example of a "non-politicized" platform is even more inaccurate.

I understand why they do it, and it makes sense. Still, it's amazing how quickly that open world has closed down.

It's far more complex than that. TikTok is a Chinese company with immense reach and influence that can shape American public discourse. A global superpower cannot allow another global superpower to influence its population so significa

I am not saying that it's good or bad, and the geopolitical situation has changed a lot, but I miss the relative innocence, openness, and sense of unity that characterised the 2000-2010s internet. We are slowly going in the direction o

We ARE in WW3's prologue if not in the war itself, even if nothing major kicks off right now. The world's seeing this major power shuffle - US losing its grip while China keeps gaining ground. Both the US and Russia are trying to

This is absolutely true. There is a Polish-Danish singer who moved to Denmark when he was 5 years old. He returned to Poland at the age of 28 and created a song called "I hate you Poland" that explains this very concept. I'm

Coming from an Eastern European country to the UK, I was told by many colleagues who had also moved there that people in the UK are very difficult to befriend (make friends, not acquaintances), as if it were part of English culture. "T

This is such a lazy, pointless comment that doesn't add anything to the conversation. It's also way off base about what LLMs can actually do, and the fact that they're pretty handy for debugging production code too.

It means that each federated technology creates a federation of "self-governing" entities, for example Mastodon servers. The meaning is very similar to the political meaning of the word.

The end of globalisation means events like this will occur more frequently, unfortunately. We no longer live in 'one global village', instead, we are increasingly living, once again, in opposing ideological blocs. Consequently, we

There is a saying in Eastern Europe that the biggest driver of innovation is American sanctions. This seems to be the case here.

What do you mean by wrong? Would the company be against that if you asked them? Most likely. Is there a commandment against that? Not really. Do people do that? Some do.

I still remember the Steve Jobs era when people would praise Apple for having a simple lineup of devices, in contrast to Android, which had some crazy amount of variants of every device. How times have changed.

Musk is the one who makes this possible. There's a reason why neither Bezos, Gates, nor Branson are anywhere close to this achievement, despite also having vast financial resources. I strongly dislike this attempt to erase Musk from th

I don't understand the Musk comment at the end. Can you please explain what you mean by that and what is the significance of him growing up in South Africa?

To me, this appears to be the democratisation of information (or bullshit, depending how you look at it) dissemination. In the past, only a select few told stories to the masses. With each new invention (printing press, camera, internet, AI

The reason people "dislike AI because of its tone" is that they only recognize AI-written text when it's poorly composed. It's likely that you're already interacting with AI-generated text without realising it.
