She's prickly and doesn't come across very well when challenged.

So is Trump, on both counts. I think she's going to be a lot more effective than Jenrick at rebuilding the Tories as MAGA UK. How that succeeds nationally is another question. Think we're going to have an unpleasant time finding out, whether they sink or swim.

less than what it would cost me to buy a ref.1016.

It's all over.

Edam is made backwards

You're right, but it's not often we get to see somebody radicalising themselves. Usually we just see the end result.

In memorial eulogies and obituaries, people sometimes say "He died doing what he loved". That's what Shuvael Ben-Natan's family said at his funeral, except that as well as being one of the four IDF reservists who died in Lebanon last week, he was a settler who loved killing palestinians for trying to harvest their own olives.

“You entered Gaza to take revenge — as much as possible. [Against] women, children — everyone you saw. As much as possible. That’s what you wanted,” said Uriah Ben-Natan, the brother of 22-year-old Sgt. First Class (res.) Shuvael Ben-Natan

Another eulogist said, "You were the happiest, most optimistic, and most mischievous person in the unit. We first met in Gaza, when you burned a house without permission just for the atmosphere."

What a fun guy.

I almost fell over when they charged me a £5 deposit for my cup at Monmouth on the market.

While they have a historical agreement with russia for port visits of warships they officially condemn the annexation of Crimea, Donbas etc and oppose the war.

They also have strong partnerships with Nato countries as well as allies in the region who are not aligned with russia and China.

None of this contradicts my point. They could keep doing what they've been doing, be in the same position for all the things you describe, and not be giving NK an excuse to raise tension.

North Korea getting involved will potentially change this.

I'm not sure of your logic there. I don't see much incentive for the South Korean government to effectively be fighting a proxy war with North Korea.

I know we have our own versions of Sovereign Citizens, but I think Mr. Christopher may have been inspired by a U.S. lunatic who set up an organisation of the same name over there, back in 2012. There are quite a few similarities aside from the name, which is an odd choice for a UK outfit otherwise.

There's no space in my head for yet another knowing take on zombies. My reanimated corpse can watch it.

Where do you go to slap your kids?

I hate the fact that in my local supermarket, there seems to be no end of staff filling bags of shopping for lazy, pointless, sofa-dwelling twats who can't be arsed doing their own shopping so sub it out to Deliveroo.

It's keeping some store staff in jobs that would otherwise disappear because of self-service tills.

Shane Smith has always been a prick. He went on Rogan just recently to explain why all the shit at Vice was somebody else's fault and not his. I think, like Russell Brand and others, he's gone MAGA/Qanon because they're the only people who will believe him.

Every so often I track down one of those significant films that I missed at the time (e.g. Lone Star, Collateral). I make a point of not looking for reviews before watching. This week it was "Before the Devil knows you're dead".

Fuck.

Well, I'm not going to forget watching that one, but I need a couple of months of mindless activity to restore emotional balance.

I can be rude about Github Copilot if you're interested.

any fiction, or even non-fiction, even mentioning Giles Coren.

He popped up in one of his dad's articles, and that was a good read. Depicted Giles as a three year old with his pajama trousers round his ankles yelling "Wanna go toilet", so it was pretty accurate.

I’m still holding out that the one true use of AI will be to tidy my desktop.

It can provide you with a plausible but fake version of that document you can't find. Will that do?

What is the solution to this?

Generally? Other than the digital tech revolution slowing down rather than exponentially expanding, there is none.

@steelspeed

Well AI and automated coding solutions will get better…

No. Mitigating technical debt requires understanding and insight. It's not about bugs. Most things labelled "technical debt" are entirely functional, just not a solution you want to have to live with long term.

Technical debt is not a bad thing in itself; the metaphor is useful because financial debt is something that people and companies thrive on, as long as it's acknowledged, logged and managed. Financial debt is bad when people hide it and/or don't keep it in check. Technical debt the same. The software/IT world has such a bad problem with unmanaged technical debt mostly because of the pressures I mentioned above, partly because most people (and managers) don't have the same basic understanding of tech that they do of their account balance. It's not hard to get people to see the shakey step ladder problem when you're actually talking about building a house. Trying to get them to see the real software engineering equivalents, and why they'll be a problem in the long term, is hard.

Mischief and selective quoting have long been the main point of this thread. But the (often abused) quote really should sound at least a bit like something somebody would say in a golf club bar, I thought. They might as well have quoted

For analyising what code does, an LLM is flat out the wrong tool.

Vape bar, maybe, Golf Club not. Pretty much the only people from software companies who go to golf clubs don't know what that sentence means. The kind of people you'd have to use those metaphors on, but it's not something they could think up.

You can go fuck yourself up the sunny Philadelphia hole.

You have missed a career in freestyle rap battling.
