@ashlielailove Normal nikke combat bodies already weigh something like 150kg+. MegAnis would probably weigh as much as a small car.

@ProudBavaria Also my junior partners being able to declare wars on their own and me not being able to intervene or do place settlements until literally the last integration tier is really goofy.

@FemboyDCS If you are 5km from an F35 that is purely due to the F35 letting you.

- presenting a technology invented in 1961 as new
- video is from a range of only 5000m because said technology relies on visibility
- modern aircraft have laser warning receivers anyway
- talking about notching as if it's still relevant in air warfare

Lasers can be used to search and detect stealth aircraft, since it's difficult to avoid reflecting short wavelength beams, or even track the distortions created by turbulent air in their wake (also getting around Doppler Notching by doing so): geospatialworld.net/article/levera…

@richgel999 My brother in Chirst, most large codebases I've seen are already chock-full of tech debt.
This will just make the new shit code already rotten on par with the old code if used idiotically.
English
this is going to be glorious in a few years, as these corporations realize they've trashed their codebases with enormous amounts of technical debt

This is an absolute ball-ache if you have an ISA which receives dividend income, something which you need to accumulate for a while before it's cost-effective to re-invest.

It’s understood Chancellor Rachel Reeves intends to introduce a 22% tax charge on interest earned from cash held within Stocks and Shares ISAs, but it would not apply to UK pensioners aged 65 and over. Expected to come into effect on 6 April 2027.🔍

Society has gotten so bizarre because the 18th birthday is seen a a magical event that transforms a kid from a child who cannot be left alone into an adult that can sign up to fire a machine gun for Uncle Sam.

@BiankaB12 As someone who has to deal with this, it's genuinely incredible to witness. I have senior engineers quoting the AI at me, saying shit that is obviously wrong and that they should realise is obviously wrong on it's face, only to go "eto bleh" at me when I point it out.

He is saying this because he has zero influence over Starmer and that annoys him

🚨 NEW: Tony Blair has accused Keir Starmer of having no "coherent plan" for the country as he attacks Labour's policies on workers' rights and above-inflation minimum wage rises "These measures have given headwinds not tailwinds to British business"

Estonia’s P4P high-speed missile interceptor drone has been tested in Ukraine. Developed by Tallinn-based Alatyr Group, the system is designed to intercept jet drones flying around 500 km/h. It uses vertical takeoff with four electric motors, then engages a rocket booster for high-speed pursuit, combining multicopter launch flexibility with missile-style acceleration. #Ukraine

@LinkofSunshine Also you would be shocked at the sheer number of these people who lack even basic proficiency, but thats neither here nor there
English
I mean proficiency in excel is legitimately important in many jobs

@xMARINxGames The part I am shocked about is why these arent skins we can get in game?

@wight1984 Also
-- delete community outreach/comment (nobody gets to veto legal developments bacause they dont like it)
-- simplify environmental review and requirements
-- blocking/revoking historic building status outside of small designated special zones - no historic Tesco parking lots

@Sikalka1 My wishlist would be:
-- Planning reform to a rules-based mixed-use zoning system (rather than discretionary case-by-case system)
-- Remove affordable housing requirements (functionally a tax on development)
-- Greenbelt reform
-- Georgist land value tax

People will pay higher rents to live in smaller homes if it means living in a high population density area. They will also complain about there being 'too many people', but the higher population density is exactly why the location is desirable.
Jamie H@wight1984
@T1494178470877 Absent any trade-offs, people might like the idea of a detached mansion in a big field away from the city, but revealed preference is for living in high population areas where the jobs, shops, and services are... even if that means living in a smaller home (e.g. a flat)
English
@wight1984 It illustrates the difficulty of building new buildings to address the massive demand and getting rid of ancient ones, due to nonsense regs and ridiculous "affordable housing" mandates.
English
@wight1984 I also prefer modern apartments, it's just that none are available at under 5x the rent if at all.
English
@SpaceKoala Yep. Doesn't help that a large section of the housing fund is from the 19th century.
English
People in the UK have been able to get away with building poorly insulated houses because the weather is so mild and heating was relatively easy.
Pretty large portions of the Earth have both hotter summers and colder winters than the UK.
Space Koala@SpaceKoala
"couNTRiES BuILT foR AcTUAl HeAT don't BuILD LIkE THE uK" If your high thermal mass house is poorly insulated, it wasn't built well for cold winters: you just wasted money on heating. Better insulation would cut your heating bill AND save money on air conditioning.

@number_pizza111 It's at the intersection of availability (no IT department will block it), usability and installed user base (everyone uses or has used MS office).
It's like saying screwdrivers are obsolete because we have power tools and industrial robots.
English
Excel is incredible. We have tools better than it at data processing but none that can match the combination of legibility and power a spreadsheet provides.
So long as people need to see and comprehend data before making judgements, Excel will be used.

@AndyAyrey CTOs rip ahead because they have no idea what they are doing while having the character and skills to sell the resulting mess up the chain or to corporate clients (who are usually equally clueless).
English
engineers who are high IQ but low EQ continue to report terrible results from coding models, while CTOs with people skills rip ahead because the AI likes them

@michael_kove @levie If the company sucks nothing can help you.
Some top down push is absolutely required to facilitate initial adoption. At that point it tends to be a monkey see, monkey do situation. Stuff that works tends to spread naturally without you needing to force it down peoples throats.

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.
So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.
“Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues.
“Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with.
The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.
Michal Malewicz@michalmalewicz
CEOs are the most delusional about AI. Detached from reality.
