This is great:

Could they not label the tickmarks more clearly? I'm trying to book a holiday.

"The damning findings suggest AI models cheat by diving into the data they were given — and coming up with the rest based on probability, even if it’s almost entirely conjecture."

That's a feature (sic) not a bug.

I live near there and pass this shop most days. I would guess most of the shoplifters are homeless and/or drug users. Brixton isn't particularly dangerous or violent but low level shoplifting and begging has become more common since 2012.

I thought the child actress performance was excellent too.

How would that work at Man Utd?

Data centre delays threaten to choke AI expansion Almost 40% of such builds in US risk hold-ups, including projects tied to Microsoft and OpenAI

Really? Looks like a classic bullwhip where they have stockpiled GPU, turbines, and electrics out of fear. Every chance of reduced spending in future years - especially if bottlenecks delay projects.

Is this announced or real datacenters? If its unbelievable shouldn't we just ...not believe it?

You would have thought the Starlink debacle would have been noticed - or raised a few eyebrows???

They do track sentiment. The slopes roughly follow each other - and then there is a fixed component that switches when the president does.

Okay I get your point - but your definition is just a circular fallacy - "correct" is what the market decides.

It's a rhetorical trick not a profound incite.

As it's the US there is a decent chance she doesn't really need this procedure too.

Why Affordability and the Vibecession Are Real Economic Problems There are many ways inflation makes people worse off even when real incomes recover, especially for essentials.

I don't know how much of translates to the UK - but in the US many economists are pointing out that the income/inflation aggregate is hiding the fact that essentials such as food rent housing have massively increased while non-essentials suppress the headline figure.

Why Affordability and the Vibecession Are Real Economic Problems There are many ways inflation makes people worse off even when real incomes recover, especially for essentials.

There is a lot of academic discussion of the US vibecession by economists that discuss how the aggregate numbers fail to capture economic distress.

It's not just randos on Bsky. See for example:

Hard cases make bad law. But two of the most prominent cases were in Scotland in the past few years. Isla Bryson and Tiffany Scott. So a lot more than 5% of liley voter swill know these cases and have opinions.

Come back to me after they re-elect Orban in 5 years.

66 Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding? A.R. Moxon

I keep coming back to this.

I think this might be the first time this new logo's been revealed. Drew it myself and I think it turned out quite nicely.

Something I don't think the UK boasts about enough - and a great rebuttal to Reform and the Tories' anti-net zero propaganda:

The UK is home to 7 out of the top 10 biggest offshore wind farms in the world. 10 of the top 20. And 6 in 10 of the largest ones in the world currently under construction.

it's just Scottish.

meh ... very mild reaction ... just a few eye-rolls.

Must try harder.

Panama and the Marshall Islands are the two largest ship registries....so... you know.
