Frequently glossobuccalic. Knows just enough to be a danger to himself and others in a surprising number of areas. I'm not overweight, I'm underheight. "AI" is marketing hype, machine learning is the technology, copyright theft is the business model.

Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD

New Channel 4 documentary, The Great ADHD Myth?, seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct

While clearing up old mail I found this story from friend: #Engineering #WarStory When I was working at [deleted to save embarrassment] I had to do some testing using an expensive programmable radio frequency attenuator. I asked where this could be found and was pointed to a high shelf. 1/4

Also: HAWK’s entire foundation was very new—just 4-5 years old, an infant by cryptographic measures! Most brand-new cryptography gets broken or severely weakened before long. This is normal and good. Now AI will help speed up that process more systematically.

I'm seeing folks draw the wrong conclusion (in good faith or not) from the HAWK attack. HAWK is a scheme that 1. cryptographers were suspicious of and 2. was still in the assessment process. A break is GOOD. It means the process is useful, and it INCREASES confidence in the selected algorithms.

I’m all for paying more tax to fix social care and the NHS as long as the private equity parasites that have infected both are eradicated. What I’m not up for is paying more tax to line the pockets of shareholders of companies that have been invited to enshitify our essential public services.

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

Elaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?) (she's also a professional old person; she was on Good Morning Britain last year, and then also at the Nov budget, and the year before lmao)
