It’s all just the new testament. Before you fuck with poor people and nail them to a cross, make sure they aren’t just slumming it, and actually have a very powerful father.

I mean the big problem is how the labour party will whip.
PR is a significant issue, that changes how much power a party will have in the future. If PR goes through, it’s quite likely that no party will ever have enough MPs to rule without support of another party. It’s also likely to lead to the larger parties splitting into different factions. Because of this, the labour leadership are going to have strong opinions about it, and if they don’t support it, they will probably force their MPs to oppose it by using the party whips.
There’s one thing it will do, and that’s decrease legitimacy of the current system. If Labour get a supermajority and end up with 70% of the seats on 45% of the vote, it makes it very obvious that first past the post isn’t working. With that and what’s likely to be every other party calling for voting reform, it does make a cross party consensus on voting reform more likely.

It’s always one of the first things to get cut when companies try to save money.
If yud just got to the point, people would realise he didn’t have anything worth saying.
It’s all about trying to look smart without having any actual insights to convey. No wonder he’s terrified of being replaced by LLMs.
Because there’s all these fertilized eggs that don’t become people. If you believe life begins at conception, then IVF kills a lot.
It’s all unscientific nonsense, and requires you to ignore how many fertilized eggs don’t become a viable fetus, but the anti-abortion stance has never been about science. It’s about control.
That’s not how it works.
Parties are at the national level, and form alliances/blocks at the international level in order to get things done. These blocks shift and there is no guarantee that one party will continue to vote with a particular block.
Pick a country. Generally, the political parties in that country will stand for local elections, national elections, and EU elections. At that point you can ask what their politics are. But EU wide parties aren’t a thing.
Except that England’s national dish is chicken tikka masala.
I mean it’s worth remembering that some of the poorest areas in the country are in London. https://citymonitor.ai/community/uk-census-tower-hamlets-has-the-worst-child-poverty-rates-in-the-uk
Basically, the government doesn’t give a shit about poor people regardless of where they live. They just want to ensure that hedge fund managers living in Surrey can commute into their London office with a minimum of inconvenience.
You can use DNS based adblock, but this tends to break on public WiFi networks.
One other option is to use brave as a web browser. It’s a chrome derivative with a built in adblock. Most browser extensions don’t work on iOS so there’s not many options.
I’m fairly sure most people don’t assume they know why someone said it’s blue, they just don’t care.
People say things to make conversation. It often fails to make sense, but you can just roll with it instead of autopsy-ing the conversation.
You’re normally expected to have lifelong symptoms, but that doesn’t mean you had to do badly in school.
You can constantly daydream, lose stuff and turn up late for everything and still ace tests, at least early on. It gets harder to get away with this later in life.
Not these ones. They’re automatically generated so the computer that creates them will already know what the string is meant to be. You don’t need human annotations to use these kinds of capcha as training data.
This is just a road block. They’re designed to inconvenience spammers so you get less spam to delete.
Teams defaults are pure scummery.
No, don’t alert me on a Sunday night with notifications that I might have missed over the last two days.
It’s worth saying that ml is in a very different position to most of academic publishing.
All of the serious journals are free to publish and fully open access and a significant amount of publication includes enough code that things are mostly replicable. GitHub has done wonders for our field. Also many tech companies use publications as an indication of prestige and go out of their way to publish stuff.
We’re still drowning in too many papers and 95% of everything is shit, but that’s every field really. Talking to musk on twitter is the not right place for a nuanced discussion about publication.
I tried using some but they’re all equally shit.
Doesn’t matter if you forgot to work out for a bit. The trick is to just start again when you realise you’ve stopped.
That would be fine, if people weren’t using LLMs to write code, or to do school work,
But they are. So it’s important to write these articles that say “if you keep using a chainsaw to drive nails, here are the limitations you need to be aware of.”
There’s a reason terf stands for trans exclusionary.
They don’t really believe in some bullshit biological essentialism where trans men and cis women are categorised together. They just want all trans people gone. Excluded from society.
Biological essentialism is just an excuse to be dicks to trans people.
That line about competent bastards is running right through the Tory party at the moment.
Saatchi - former party chairman and the guy who came up with “labour isn’t working” has been saying the same thing.
It’s interesting that their response to this is always “we should be more competent” and never “we should stop being bastards”.
