@PMarlowe1939 Only us olds even know what a photograph is now. The young only know video, and so the clip of Polanski running is the only thing between the country and total financial collapse

So much space in space that it boggles the mind!
Tom Brown@nottombrown
Terrestrial datacenters will increasingly be bottlenecked by permitted real estate space. Lots of space in space.

@tomfgoodwin this had me struggling too - I decided to focus on what things *were* unlocks for me instead. I built an agent to send me a daily alignment/affirmation text that summarizes *how* my activities line up to my long term goals. This allows me to reflect and brings me joy.

@INArteCarloDoss Or to put a slightly different spin on it, when the required return on computing capital used for AI is significantly higher than it is today, how much will that impact pricing of the product and thence demand?
English
Has anyone wondered what it would be like if, in the future, we won’t actually need all the compute power we think we will unambiguously need? Could there be any future unforeseen technological leaps that challenge this consensus? Just asking…

BlackRock Chair and CEO Larry Fink suggests the demand for computing power is so large that a new asset class will spring up. He speaks at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, California bloom.bg/4eXyy32

@mrtabrett @notayesmansecon It is rather, I would say whoever was buying 30yr gilts at 0.5% yield was a muppet...but, oh ...it was the government buying its own bonds...nice one
English
@feeling_elfish @notayesmansecon That would make sense. A 77% loss in 5 years on G7 government debt is astonishing.
English
@mrtabrett @notayesmansecon I suspect they bought these at 100 during the grand old days of COVID
English
@notayesmansecon So they resold gilts that they bought at full value only recently for a 77% discount?

@DrSdeG Even the City doesn't really do boozy lunches anymore. There are pockets of holdouts, but on the whole its uncommon, which is very different to 2007 when I started my first sell side job
English
Thing about the whole drinking MPs thing, is that lots have never had a serious job (some have). Lots of “consulting” and pretend jobs that pay a lot of £££, or even real ones but all involving boozy lunches etc.
So they won’t think it’s weird. Whereas, to most of us, it’s really NOT a thing.

@CPhilpOfficial Cat check: Here's coverage of the same event in 2023; you were Minister for Crime & Policing at the time Christopher.

@aljhlester Totally agree - there is no mystery here, absolutely everyone knew he was a dodgy one, but thought he was the right dodgy one for the job. That backfired. The end

1/3 The constant intrigue over Starmer-Mandelson is exhausting. We all know what happened & why. Starmer wanted Mandelson in the US because he was widely thought to be someone who could humour Trump & prevent him harming UK interests. Very few protested at the time.

@McCormack_Tara In 2026 UK, "freedom" is now largely a meaningless concept. Whatever the question, more laws is always the answer
English
Alcohol next? This is a terrible decision to make (and will be unenforceable), but it is also a weird law in terms of putting people into separate legal orders depending on their age. Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@phl43 Twitter definitely made me happier during COVID, I was feeling very very very isolated and finding likeminded (left libertarians?) helped hugely. Especially since they were also intelligent and funny, and wrung snide humour out of the blackest of days
English
It would be funny if they did the same experiment with Twitter and it turned out that, despite being regularly denounced as the most toxic social media, it actually makes people happier because hating on your political enemies is good for your mental health.

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.

@pilgoth why do people keep sending me podcasts to watch? Please just tell me the salient points in 1 minute, better still send it to me in bullet point format...powerpoint is your friend

I hate, hate, hate being forced to watch a video to learn something when I could read at 10x the speed. Videos are for cattle.
"Hey guys, today we'll be talking about X -- X is a fascinating topic, and a lot of you have been requesting I talk about X, so..." - Shut up, Shut up!

@phl43 Given where we are today (stuck, with no exit) it would actually be the most rational move, but that doesn't mean it will come about... Not sure it will be a "complex operation" to reopen it either, nothing negotiations and money wouldn't solve within a week or two
English
While I don't believe for a second he is actually going to do that, it would be hilarious if he did.

NEW: Trump told aides he’s willing to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, administration officials said, likely extending Tehran’s firm grip on the waterway and leaving a complex operation to reopen it for a later date.
