The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one. #NoBrainer www.theccc.org.uk/2026/03/11/c...

Yes, the #eu has a lot of regulations. But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago. Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no […]

Future Daniel asking a follow-up: "when you said you ran the code and reproduced this issue, did you then "run the code" as in executed the instructions in a real CPU or did you "run the code" as in guessing what it would do based on your half-assed reading of the code?"

“To all influencers and other tax exiles in Dubai, the tax authorities wish you a safe return to France”

The tragic awfulness of this government is that it has extended a factional war against the left of the Labour Party into a war against almost all the good things we might have expected of it. It cannot respond to the crisis it faces, because its hatred of the Labour left is definitional.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

We should all get used to no longer saying "GitHub" but "Microsoft AI GitHub" just so it's clearer where your code lies and for what purpose.

I sin klumme skriver Rune Lykkeberg ret præcist: "Epstein-filerne har lært os, at eliten findes. Den er pervers, tarvelig og sensationelt middelmådig" Forstår vi nu at eliten/overklassen/rigmændene/de royale ikke er overmennesker? De er bare overbevist om at de er særlige, og derfor har de ret […]

When people say Shakespeare isn't relevant to modern life it's good to have people like Sir Ian around to prove them wrong:

1. Russia cancels START 2. Trump says "want new contract" 3. Putin says: Then give me Ukraine. Worst actors I've ever seen...

I wonder when some smart person will realize that it is easier to murder Hitler before you need a time-machine to do it ?

Just so we are clear, the investigation in France against Musk's X is not some haggling over a paragraph of some obscure regulation or the phrasing in the cookie banner.

the public consultation on "European Open Digital Ecosystems" apparently received 1,658 submissions. One of the biggest public consultations ever apparently. Well done fellow Open Sourcers!

Something snapped into place in my mind. There is an anti-AI position that has absolutely nothing to do with luddism, or any other anti-tech position. AI is cognitive suburbanization. Think about it. Architecting everything so that I can't do even the most basic thing without gratuitously […]

Oh, and also, the response of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to Musk calling the search of his offices a "political attack" is absolutely savage.

Been up all night with friends going through the unpleasantly long lists of infosec people in the Epstein Files. Yikes, guys. I knew some of them were pieces of shit, already - but too many other people fell for a transparent bid to illegitimatize elections, and I said so then. 🤷🏻‍♀️😞
