The Serbian police just used a LRAD sonic cannon against the student protesters in Belgrade while they were holding their 15 minutes of silence. LRAD is an acoustic weapon that fires a targeted "beam" of sound

Looks like effectively Australia is helping Russia break sanctions by buying refined products from India.

Love this - funkatarium / jump. Always thought the track was called jump but looking at my copy it’s the other way around.. still great whatever
Yeah there’s no downgrade back to the old one I had for a bit more storage. So had to cancel Gemini and then buy another 100gb plan I paid an annual price for a couple of months ago...
Newtown Social Club, Fitzroy about 2002. I’d heard it was invented there so interested if anyone else can take it back further.
"Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

I was just discussing this scenario as the biggest danger - we decided the split of codes means you’d never get a full country populist from footy.. fingers crossed eh?
This is where Albanese should be on the front foot - tying Dutton to Trump and Musk. But he seems to be too scared.
Good, but I’d suggest ditch the ‘progressive’ ‘regressive’ - say ‘where the rich pay more’ to ‘where the poor pay more’
Does the use of average speed therefore (somewhat murkily) combine the factors - speed is there but people don’t use it because it’s too expensive. Maybe a better metric would be $/MBit/s and av. distance from exchange to factor the Aus geographics vs say Singapore. It’s definitely pricey tho.
Although maybe they don’t have to do such life threatening work, pay rates for prisoners are quite similar in Victoria.. max $8.95 a day. Just terrible. thejusticemap.substack.com/p/victoria-t...

It’s occurring to me that the whole crypto thing is on this fact/fiction self interpretation continuum and may be feeding it. The idea that if enough people decide that performing meaningless calculations has value, then it may as well be the same as real money…
Oh I hope this is one area where Australia sees sense.. I can just see us being the bagholders.. www.theguardian.com/technology/c...
i'm just skeptical that a bunch of people who are in a shambles because they were told they won't be followed back are going to resist fascism
Swap the butter for a bit less olive oil but he’s got it. Lid on, don’t burn the white. And I think I just learned why Germans call fried eggs Spiegeleier..
Ah, that’s great that is! Thanks for reposting..
That’s true but it’s not the point of the OP who felt that their material was being used to train OpenAI’s models and restricting distribution for that reason. You make a fair argument that the student doing this is lazy, but a different one so I think the comment you’re responding to stands.

Pretty relevant to all Dutton’s gas/nuclear malarkey in Australia
If you use it to just tell you the answer, sure. If you use it to tell you lines of reasoning and how to justify the answer, validate, poke and prod for alternatives, it’s quite possible to use it as you would a study partner.
This is it - they’re all temporary!
Dutton claims you can’t be united as a country if you have more than one flag.
Dude, our actual flag has another flag in it.
