An incredibly blatant misuse of executive authority. Driving licenses should be about competency to drive, not become a catch-all for miscellaneous crimes. Fly-tipping is, as it should be, already a serious crime. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We don’t see many books like this one. The reviews for THE TECHNOLOGICAL REPUBLIC: HARD POWER, SOFT BELIEF, THE FUTURE OF THE WEST are coming in. A new book from @PalantirTech CEO Alexander Karp and longtime deputy Nicholas Zamiska. techrepublicbook.com

@ScMesab Should the executive branch still not be bound by EXISTING laws?

🚨 #BREAKING: DC District Court rules President Trump’s firing of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) Board of Directors was beyond his authority, declaring it null & void. 🇺🇸 The court also voids the transfer of USIP’s $500M headquarters to the GSA and invalidates appointments of DOGE staffers as USIP leaders. Elections mean nothing when courts control all! The judicial branch towers over Congress & the President! #USIP #JudicialPower #Trump storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

@tombennett71 other than that idea, i see nothing wrong with abstracting humanity into legless consciousness neuralinked with ai

@tombennett71 the next paragraph is also pretty worrying - as if teaching “employment” and “personal finance”, instead of say english and maths, will fix things. to have personal finance, one needs a job. to have a job, one needs an education - not a set of subjective and vague assertions.

Jenkins is so reliably wrong about education, he might actually be the most important tool we have to improve things: simply do and believe the opposite of what he proposes, and a Golden Age will appear. This argument is like saying, ‘Why should we, humans with bicycles and cars, continue to be so attached to our legs? Lop them off, I say!’

@TonyTheLion2500 Just find two sequences xn1 and xn2 both going to zero but sin(xn) not same as x gets to zero. I mean they’ve basically told you the answer here icl

Exercise at the bottom has made me angry 😠 Where does one begin with this? Clearly using theorem 3.3.1, but then what?

@AlchemistJedi @futureofautos @svpino @Apple @AskPerplexity no 😂, mac is good for portability and battery life, plus the unix kernel helps with a tonne of stuff where windows suffers and pure linux laptops can be a pain for normal stuff

@JayAmbadkar @futureofautos @svpino @Apple @AskPerplexity and let me guess the apple people are all infected with the woke mind virus

This is the best laptop in the world. Period. M4, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 18 hours of battery life, 13 inches, 2.7 lbs. $1,699 with the student discount. No competition.

@AlchemistJedi @futureofautos @svpino @Apple @AskPerplexity Ah yes, so that’s why at least half the people on my CS degree at a global uni use iPads or Macs, including the lecturers

@futureofautos @svpino @Apple @AskPerplexity In what world does a 40 year old guy appear a boomer in your mind? Anyone with any bit of real computer skills hates Apple.

@ShepherdWales @BBCPolitics So what? We should allow major public expenditure to be unaccountable in a body not controlled by directly elected ministers?

@BBCPolitics No no no!! The NHS needs to be totally removed from being a political football. 🙄🫣

📈 Hydrogen was once seen as a universal fuel that could work with renewables to provide low-carbon transport, heating and electricity. 🤔 But now its role is less certain. ❔ Our new #ImperialStories feature asks: Is hydrogen still the fuel of the future? 👀 imperial.ac.uk/Stories/hydrog…

@tombennett71 Chat, is this real?

This is the most accurate headline I’ve seen about this study all day

@EU_Commission Why on earth are you putting accessibility ahead of technological edge. This is pretty much how regimes fall. (not against accessibility here, just saying that the EU regulates while the world innovates)

AI made in 🇪🇺 OpenEuroLLM, the first family of open source Large Language Models covering all EU languages, has earned the first STEP Seal for its excellence. It brings together EU startups, research labs and supercomputing hosts to train AI on European supercomputers ↓

@garethkthomas This can only really work as an explanation and solution if we can assume that all humanity is good at heart. In reality, no. Not even close.

@RupertLowe10 I think you’ll find that the death penalty is incompatible with the ECHR.

It is my opinion that now is the time for a national debate on the use of the death penalty in exceptional circumstances. This is an exceptional circumstance.

@elonmusk Have a full, really good custom website independent of X, obviously linked to etc, but one that can be kept distinct.

Feedback is welcome

@professor_dave @tombennett71 Isn’t that why *every child* gets two days per week plus half terms and holidays to do non-academic stuff? Having an academic school system, which still integrates a holistic curriculum, is the best way of showing kids what they want to work towards in the world.

@tombennett71 The curriculum in schools is very heavily skewed towards the most 'academic' pupils. From age 13, all focus/priority is on 'academic' GCSEs. We need to better provide for less academically-minded students, possibly with provision differentiating within the school around this age.

Starting the new year with this utterly odd claim: kids don’t misbehave in schools because the curriculum doesn’t suit them. I’m amazed anyone would believe this. This is like saying people break the speed limit because the roads aren’t the right shape.

January exams are pretty mean if I do say so // not like I have any 🙄

@VivekGRamaswamy Yes, but if you used $18 bills, then you’d only have to go from the Earth to the Sun and back once

$36,000,000,000,000+ in national debt. The human mind can’t really process a number that high, so here’s a thought experiment: to completely pay back our national debt in $1 bills, you’d need enough to line them up from Earth to the Sun & back 18 times. And it’s going up daily.
