@0xglitchbyte One of the worst things that the whole AI coding thing has resulted in is idiots thinking lines of code is a good metric for productivity.

You did not become technical af
You do not go from “I have no idea how to code” to “I shipped more than senior engineers!” in less than 6 months.
You shipped code you do not understand creating an insurmountable amount of tech debt you cannot fix potentially introducing bugs and other issues you cannot find.

@kimmonismus Well yeah - he needs people to continue to invest. Its the Elon Musk game. Never deliver but continually promise.

Holy moly: Sam Altman told Axios in a half-hour interview that AI superintelligence is so close, so mind-bending, so disruptive that America needs a new social contract.
- It's on the scale of the Progressive Era in the early 1900s, and the New Deal during the Great Depression.
- Altman warns: widespread job loss, cyberattacks, social upheaval, machines man can't control
- "soon-to-be-released AI models could enable a world-shaking cyberattack this year. "I think that's totally possible," Altman said. "I suspect in the next year, we will see significant threats we have to mitigate from cyber."

@EastMidRailway The 10.39 is now also "delayed". What is going on? And what options do I have as this will mean ill be over an hour delayed. There must be some way you can help customers?
Manchester, England 🇬🇧 English
@WelshBluebird The next service will run, it is currently scheduled to run on time. 2/2 ^TM
English
@EastMidRailway any idea what is going on with the 09.39 Manchester Oxford Road to Norwich train?
Manchester, England 🇬🇧 English
@EastMidRailway The departure board is now saying due to a fault on the train. Which one is it? And what should passengers waiting for this service do? I have EMR only tickets and heading to Peterborough from Oxford Road. Will the next service run on time (10.39)?
Manchester, England 🇬🇧 English
@WelshBluebird No, unfortunately we don’t have an update yet on when the service is expected to depart. ^TM
English
@EastMidRailway And idea of when / if it will start moving again?
Manchester, England 🇬🇧 English
@WelshBluebird Good morning Marc, that service is currently delayed due to a passenger causing a disturbance onboard the train. As a result the service is currently delayed at Liverpool South Parkway. ^TM

🚨 BREAKING: Reform UK has just hit 25% in Cardiff and SE Wales, pushing Labour into second place! The biggest surge in Welsh politics is happening right now.
🩵 Retweet so people in Wales see that change is coming very soon.
🗳️ Ordinary people are done waiting. 💥 #ReformUK #CardiffVotes

@rjb_1998 Oh fuck off. Its a foul yes but nothing more. Come down to the football league and see what you say if you can't handle that!
Manchester, England 🇬🇧 English
If you can't accept a dodgy tackle on you cos of your age you shouldn't be playing open age football

What a coward Ryan Manning is. Trying to hurt a player half his age.

@WineGal8603 @JosephAbdin Orange juice is a sugary drink.
Bristol, England 🇬🇧 English
@JosephAbdin Hospital guests do not need sugary drinks for health. A diabetic patient can be given orange juice or other juices on an interim basis to stabilize health.
English
For the love of god… if that woman was having a hypoglycemic crisis, she needed fast-acting SUGAR to raise her blood glucose. You do NOT hand someone in a hypoglycemic emergency a piece of sugar-free broccoli.
MAHA Action@MAHA_Action
RFK Jr. just shared that hospitals were giving diabetics foods like Jell-O and Coca-Cola that worsen their condition. “A diabetic woman… was immediately offered… a Jell-O and a Coca-Cola.” “And a number of other foods that all contain sugar that are all gonna injure their metabolic system and aggravate their diabetes.” “We have the best doctors… and the finest hospitals in the world.” “But… they haven’t recognized the most important tool of medicine today is good food.”

@SeneddWaste If the other parties could club together and block reform that means reform wouldn't have won! To "win" you need a majority, or be able to form a majority with help from other parties, not just be the largest party.
English
If Reform wins, Drakeford confirms Plaid, the Greens and Labour will block them taking power. Welsh democracy does not work.

@CerysParker1 @WelshBluebird Hi Cerys, queue systems are currently in free flow. Valleys and Vale of Glamorgan passengers are now able to use both Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street for their services. ^Tudur
English
@tfwrail is there a time today that the queuing system at Cardiff stops? Ill be getting the 11pm Treherbert train from Central, at that time will I still have to go to Queen Street instead?

@PaulEmbery Depends on the pub. The good ones are still like that.
English
When I was growing up, pubs would often be rammed until closing time (not so much during the week, but certainly at weekends). The bell for “last orders” would usually spark a rush to the bar. These days, even the most popular pubs seem to start emptying out around 8.00-9.00pm, including on Fridays and Saturdays. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Is there a reason for it?
English
They really are idiots arent they. You easily get to 137 litres per person when you consider baths / showers, toilet use, washing up / dishwashes, clothes washing, cooking, gardening etc. But no it must be some conspiracy to do with immigration.
Hector Drummond@hector_drummond
Does the average Brit really use 137 litres of water a day? Or are there more people in Britain than we think?
Bristol, England 🇬🇧 English
@AnnetteCath @GrumpyOldGit5 You use way more than that. A bath is about 80 litres and a 5 min shower is around 40. So unless you dont shower or bath you are just lying.
Bristol, England 🇬🇧 English
@GrumpyOldGit5 I calculated a week for dishwasher, laundry, washing, baths, cleaning, drinking and cooking roughly just for me and came up with 50 litres a day on average.
English
How many litres of water a day do you use?

@mtpennycook You literally said "end in its entirety". How can that not mean outright abolition?
Whitchurch, England 🇬🇧 English
We obviously do not mean outright abolition, which would be an incredibly disruptive, costly, and complex undertaking that would undoubtedly have a detrimental impact on enfranchised and RTM buildings.
English
On Tuesday, I gave evidence to the @CommonsHCLG as part of their pre-legislative scrutiny of our draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill 🧵
English
@mtpennycook @CDL92 @ph7litmus "End in its entirety" certainly sounds like "abolish" to me. What do you think is the difference?
Bristol, England 🇬🇧 English
This stands. How did we manage to lose that. Why do we always make it difficult for ourselves.

@CapStasher @f4micom Unless you cannot drive (medical reasons, disqualified etc). Then you're just screwed or have to get an expensive passport and take it everywhere hoping you dont lose it.
Bristol, England 🇬🇧 English
@f4micom Provisional driving license functions essentially the same as a national id and almost everybody over 16 has one.
English
hold on the fuck you mean the uk has no national id
Ellie Winters@N104AP
so, apple uk age verification either done by: ur apple account age, or credit card, or driving license. they dont accept passports. did they forget we have no national id if you dont verify to my knowledge no 18+ apps and no adult websites which cant be bypassed cuz webkit
