Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM. Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting […]

The goal is to build an online office suite that can open and edit standard Microsoft Office documents (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX) and the OpenDocument format (ODS, ODT, ODP) used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice. The current design is remarkably close to Microsoft Office and its tabbed toolbars, so there […]

Took quite a bit of specificing searching to find BBC's coverage of the London March yesterday. Absolutely buried in "local news". Front page of The Guardian. For comparison, Far Right march is front page last year. March for hope is nowhere to be seen. Impartial?

Any journalists want to write about this? Or anyone know how to figure out who insures Reflect Orbital? Reflect Orbital will cause eye damage to people using telescopes, as astronomers have previously calculated, and they openly admitted it in their reply. (There is a whole slew of absolutely […]

After the U.K.'s Green Party candidate won a by-election in the Manchester constituency of Gorton and Denton, Reform leader Nigel Farage was quick to claim it was down to "family voting" (where a family member influences someone's vote). The Greater Manchester Police and Electoral Commission […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@adrianhon/116294730404430207 This is like when the BBC geolocated the Sounds content so "forrins don't listen for free" and just shrink the UK's cultural reach. South Korea invests in it's culture and promotes it around the world, and we all know what Kimchi is […]

It's like he's a rapist bully who doesn't understand the concept of "No", isn't it? The more the corrupt Paedophile mouths off, the more we hate him and Farage falls in the polls. It's the same across Europe, the 'Trump Taint' is derailing the Far Right […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted? All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.

Fuck. Reflect Orbital apparently had more time than we thought to respond, and they just did. We have a lot more writing to do. Hopefully some of you who wrote comments will also write and submit replies to Reflect Orbital's response. I'm sure it's total bullshit, and I am not sure when I will […]

A human requires 2400kcal per day or 10MJ. A day has 86000 seconds. So a human uses 116W. Humans are thus a hundred thousand times more efficient than computers in cut pasting shit from the internet.

I have a question. How many Spanish air bases have been targeted by Iran? #iran #ukpol #uspol #war

As Trump contemplates deploying ground troops in Iran, it's time to reinstate the Ancient Greek principle: that anyone declaring war is expected to lead their army into battle.
