Something we can thank the Russians for and hackers everywhere.

Behind that stony facade I think Putin has quite a good sense of humour.

It’s even more outrageous since the British would never engage in this sort skulduggery 🙄

This is news for chumps and delusional fanbois

I feel blessed that I like my current job. Good manager, interesting work, limited amounts of bureaucracy. Most of this is a lucky coincidence but there are some things we can do. I had to explain many times to people which tasks I’m good at and which ones they should ask other people to do. I regularly defend this position. I set aside the morning for creative work only, no meetings, no admin, just thinking and solving. In the afternoon I down tools and do something physical, outside in daylight. A regular sleep cycle is absolutely critical for the maintenance of health and mood. Fresh food and companionship. Regular meditation. Do the basics well. These are the things that have made me happy.

Assuming these are straight lines.

We know that we have to reduce pollution and that it presents an existential threat to our children. Why are we still listening to charismatic psychopaths when it comes to matters of science and engineering? He is not remotely equipped to competently answer this question from a technical or ethical point of view.

This vulture and his ilk have had their time, step aside old man.

You might die on a hill if you attempt to control a car using a touchscreen.

Google search is still pretty good although definitely not what it was in its ad-free heyday. That you would go to the trouble of complaining about it is incomprehensible, given the plethora of credible alternatives.

Step 1. Make an AI that hoovers up content.

Step 2. When owners of content complain about privacy violations and copyright infringement, allay their fears. This AI is for the Good of Humanity.

Step 3. ???

Step 4. Profit.

Around 1kg per month. I buy Lavazza red, it tastes good and strong for £10. 40mg lisdexamfetamine washed down with a quad espresso is a good way to start the day.

Will we be able to fry ants with it?

Yahoo, the cowboys of journalism.

You are a gigachad that lives in the future.

The definition of having a drinking problem is when you drink more than your doctor.

Imagine a system where that isn’t true. Actually you don’t have to because it held sway for centuries when the monarchy was in charge. Only the very wealthy got healthcare which is not too far from the situation America currently finds itself in and the UK aspires to.

Microsoft is cancer but then so much of tech is going that way. We shouldn’t lose sight of small victories, this is a good result. The EU is enforcing more openness and transparency in the sector. These are the type of changes we need.

Difficult to feel sorry for an organisation whose only responsibility is to generate profit for their shareholders. If their policy happens to align with normal human ethics it is a coincidence and they will not spare a moment to consider the plight of their customers when the shoe is on the other foot. Fuck them. Long live the pirates.

That people know this and still continue with our antiquated school systems implies there is a correlation between astrology and the people who run our society. It’s the same idiots.

It is estimated that 30% of the UK male prison population has ADHD.

Skill issue.

Vehicle control systems are overwhelmingly programmed in C, mostly from graphical design tools such as MATLAB Simulink via an automatic process. These are real time control systems which are quite different to an interrupt based operating system such as Linux. The many individual controllers must work in concert according to a strict architecture definition and timing schedule that defines the functionality of the vehicle. It’s not at all like a PC or phone, whose OS become irrelevant over time, with respect to their environment of other systems. The vehicle environment is the same environment that we inhabit i.e. the one with gravity, friction, charge and the other SI units. This is slowly changing with advent of self driving but, yeah.

The NSA mission is to spy on people and help American corporations create a worldwide hegemony, they ain’t got no time to be wasting on pet projects for total losers.
