..and three months to review the false positives

this is always overlooked. AI stories sound like "with right attitude, you too can win 10M $ in lottery, like this man just did"

Running LLM on 1000 functions produces 10000 reports (these numbers are accurate because I just generated them) — of course only the lottery winners who pulled the actually correct report from the bag will write an article in Evening Post


> these numbers are accurate because I just generated them

Is it sarcasm, or you really did this? Claude Opus 4.6?


For those who have chicken coops: why do you have separate doors for chicken and people?

My dad used to keep chicken and they just went through the same door and we'd just open it in the morning and close it in the evening.

Other people in my home town have similar arrangements and I feel I'm missing some important thing :)


Separate doors make it easier to access without releasing the chickens, if you need to (they're relatively habitual and if they never use the "people door" they won't really try to).

Easier to automate a small door, and control where it goes.

It looks cooler; people like "small doors for small things" - like the half-height garage doors at Walmart for shopping carts.

If small enough, it can reduce at least SOME predator incidents (but this is minor).


For me: the chicken door goes into a fenced enclosure to keep the chickens safe from predators.

I don't want to enter the enclosure, so I have my own door to go in and service the coop, fetch the eggs, etc.

The enclosure has a gate when I want to let the chickens out, as well.

Having an enclosure lets me leave the house for a couple days, at least, and not feel like I've imprisoned them.


The dedicated chicken door can be automated. It's nice to be able to go on vacation, or sleep in, or not suddenly wake up and wonder if you remembered to shut the door.

> I suspect fascism is currently winning

I think this war is actually pushing many away from fascism. Trump was the reference for a lot of the European right and this is showing people he was terrible and, by extension, embarrassing them all.

Heck, Orbán is currently running an electoral campaign as "the candidate of peace".


If Trump wasn't embarrassing for them before I doubt they're embarrassed now.

With the price of petrol skyrocketing, what I see in France are people complaining about taxes, not the war started by Trump.

And they still don't see the point of EVs.

Those short-sighted people are the ones cheering for fascism, so the current events have no impact on their vote.


Did you completely miss the disaster of DOGE in the first year of this administration?

I remember that! It was awesome!

Ditto. Worked perfectly and nice UI. Great work!

This is partially the case in Italy, though it changed over the years.

The assignment of funds is based on refunding prints/sales, so money goes to help newspapers that do print "something" of interest to the public.

The problem is that people don't want "independent" journalism, they want "my ideas" journalism.

Which.. still good somehow? Italy had plenty of newspapers which were the literal extension of political parties and a few independent ones in the past and still does.

But these days, they are all dying anyway.


But parents do that all the time with babies.

It is disgusting (I hated doing it) but you get somewhat used to it relatively quickly.


We seem to make a disconnect with our own children. I certainly did. But it doesn't extend to even other people's kids!

> But it doesn't extend to even other people's kids!

I think it's a question of exposure and tolerance, otherwise it'd be much harder for daycare workers, for instance.


IIRC from the book " packing for mars" the American man astronauts begged NASA to provide them with diapers at some point, which is what women astronauts got, because the earlier male-only system was a sort of sucking condom which was incredibly bad.

This really tells you how "bad masculinity" pervaded everything. I'm speaking of the designers here, not the astronauts. Why not a diaper also for male astronauts from the beginning? Isn't manly enough? Does it show weakness, like a toddler or an old dying man?

I think the designers just didn't think of it.

Women also started with a feminized version of the uncomfortable device and then switched to diapers, and then men followed.

It's possible there were no women on the design team but I don't think it's a case of bad masculinity.


I don't think that having or not having women in the design team is the key here. IMO it's more about how men perceive how men should be.

The "odd" location names in London are a fun plot point in Garman's "neverwhere" novel, tho he focuses on tube stops (black friars, shepherd's bush, kings cross etc).

I like those but IME most people have no clue what old names mean, they are just sounds associated with a place most of the time.



Ah, I did the same, but wasn't the experience/UI back then pretty nice too?

I haven't used azure since then, but I remember the web interface was way more polished than aws and things worked ok (spinning up a VM was fast etc).

So I'm confused by how everyone seems to hate it now.


I did it all in the command line so can’t say
