@IyegereS Brain dead maybe. If they put Stormfront's brain in her body that could be interesting. And then use it as a miracle.

Don't tell me Firecracker is dead, her eyes moved a bit

@unclebobmartin @KentBeck Always is a long time.

Hard agree! Software engineering has always been a human activity. “Forget that and all is lost” — Bjarne Stroustrup. There will always be software engineers, because there will always be software to be engineered. The AI’s will take over more and more of the grunt work, and the nitty-gritty details that interfere with the human part of the activity. But the human activity of software engineering will continue; and it will require technical expertise.

Dario demonstrating that he doesn't understand software engineering. The human side of what we do has always been the heart. I can empathize with *wanting* to never talk to an engineer ever again, but engineering becomes more important with better tools.

@Interested95071 @LNBDublin Mate they are paying that tax. It is reducing a tax not increasing spending. There is plenty of waste in the government to cut that the people would be happy with.

@LNBDublin It would cost over 4 billion to cut the vat on diesel by 10c a litre. More so it cut it more. What you going to cut to pay for that Lynn?

Spain just went ahead and cut its vat rate from 21%to 8% without waiting for EU. Also remember, the Irish Government had no trouble *standing up* to EU re the Apple Tax. #Choices

@LeoVaradkar Do you support men being pulled off the streets to fight and die in a war they don't want to fight?

In my column today, I set out why financial support for Ukraine is 100% in our own self-interest. If Putin wins there'll be more refugees, more wars and price shocks. I also set out why the carbon tax and climate action can free the next generation from the roller coaster of fossil fuel prices we've had to deal with since the 1970's

@MeadowCapital @newryhurler1 You can compare two things without saying they are identical. Otherwise comparisons would be useless. No they are asking for a reduction in tax.

@TaeTimeCode @newryhurler1 You can't compare company to a country. Company is a dictatorship. Micheal has a tax-funded budget that he works with. Incidentally, the fuel protestors want what? Subsidies. Hand outs. If Micheal agrees. He will have to reroute money intended for someone else to them.

Dear Lord as many who follow me here know I'm no fan of Micheal Martin but the man is entitled to celebrate his daughter's wedding and indeed with a degree of privacy ...same way he should be able to go watch his son play for Cork without people abusing him ...

@MeadowCapital @newryhurler1 Mate look at it like a CEO running a company. If the company fails the CEO is to blame. You take the role you take the blame. If you don't have solutions and are in over your head have the pride to leave.

@TaeTimeCode @newryhurler1 From what you've written, you have a bit of a cartoonish "big bad man" view of Micheal. The problem is the job itself. No one person can do everything. Only, honestly, children think one man is a superman. The protestors are showing you how things change : collectively.

@MeadowCapital @newryhurler1 How many have lost children/parents due to his actions over the years? I don't care for people to hate me. If you can't tell he hates a large portion of our population I don't know what to say. The world is a fair place being nice to horrible people doesn't reward you.

@TaeTimeCode @newryhurler1 I have a mindset of "We need to be the change we want to see in society." It's no good us wanting a decent society but then doing undecent stuff to get it. Micheal lost a daugther. Very sad. Now another is getting married. Show some decency. Or else how can you ask for it.

@MeadowCapital @newryhurler1 Sure then people can protest at their wedding. How do you think politicians should get punished for ruining their peoples lives or should they be immune?

@TaeTimeCode @newryhurler1 I'm in favor of protestors having the right to protest. I'm in favor of Trump and Michael attending weddings.

@MeadowCapital @newryhurler1 Do you know what a hypothetical is mate? So if trumps daughter had a wedding in Ireland and Trump went you would be against protesting...

@TaeTimeCode @newryhurler1 Trump's not in the equation. Both men are entitled to attend their daughter's weddings.

@MeadowCapital @newryhurler1 I'll make it easy for you the point hypocrisy.

@TaeTimeCode @newryhurler1 Waffle. No point made at all.

@danobrien20 You sound like a Trump supporter.

Ireland is now at great risk of inflicting a catastrophe on itself. Blockades of critical infrastructure nodes must end, or be ended.

@AnnCoPeace @Mick_O_Keeffe The idea of peaceful protest working is just government propaganda.

@Mick_O_Keeffe There's no point in protesting if you don't plan on fighting back, the zogbots and army have already proved countless times that they are not on the people's side

🚨🇮🇪 BREAKING! Farmers are being dragged out of their tractors and assaulted by gardaí at the Whitegate oil refinery right now!

@LiosGlas49 @DavQuinn Yes Europe can bid poorer countries and we do have reserves it'll be no where near a 20% reduction. Demand would also reduce if the government pushed for work from home. But na it'd be too easy.

@TaeTimeCode @DavQuinn So you think oil supplies to Ireland are not going to be cut, despite being cut to every other country? Dream on.

Do you know, if the Government kept its stratospheric public spending more under control, it would have more room to cut its insane taxes on fuel.

@LiosGlas49 @DavQuinn Not true at all. You can just bid higher to get the oil someone else would get. It is a global supply.

@DavQuinn On 27 Feb oil demand matched oil supply in Ireland. Then the madman Trump launched a war leaving Ireland’s oil supply cut by 20%. Ergo, oil demand must fall in Ireland by a corresponding 20%, otherwise Ireland runs out of oil. This can only be achieved by much higher prices.

@limerickblog Either does the government.

He doesnrt care if you die waiting for an ambulance that cant get to you due to lack of fuel.

@mickwall @EO_Halloran They will lose a lot more revenue if the country grinds to a halt.

@EO_Halloran What can be achieved is to reduce the duty to the EU minimum and VAT to 10% this would drop the price at the pump for diesel to around 1.80. The gov would loose some revenue but, long term it may keep other prices lower and keep some businesses open.

To be clear Ireland currently taxes ~50% of fuel after cutting excise duties. That's now below the EU average of 52% Anyone claiming it's 65% is just repeating a misinformed statement. And that misinformation is fueling what these protests think can be achieved #fuelprotest

@bitcoinpanda69 @Bumr501 AI would be the tool to help people seld-govern if they have a problem with that.

@Bumr501 Yes I think it is most likely Elon believes genuinely that it would be a good thing for people rather than a "bread and circus" gambit but I think most ppl will need a lot of help learning to self-govern

My strongest blackpill belief is that UBI will lead to an overwhelming amount of mental illness most people if they are honest w themselves need external boundaries and challenges imposed on them You're asking everyone on the planet to self-govern their whole lives when most cant even go to bed on time now when they have work early

@ClassicGamerTWR @splizard @unclebobmartin embryo.asu.edu/pages/roger-sp… If you haven't read the split brain study you should. I think your opinion will change.

Yes and no. The human brain doesn’t store information like a digital recording. It keeps certain important bits and reconstructs the rest as needed. Some parts of a decision may have been unconsciously achieved and a record may not have been stored. Which can cause you to surprise yourself when asked to explain why you made a decision. The brain is forced to pull the unconscious process into conscious focus to work on it as a skill. That can lead to impotent deep-learning. (Though my “favorite” situation is cognitive dissonance. The brain almost always resolves this by wiping the new information to return to the comfortable former belief. 😑) It’s all a bit too complex for an X post. But what is known is that we do have conscious reasoning processes. That allows us to experience activities like deep-learning that build new unconscious processes by examining their structure in the conscious brain. Unlike LLMs which are simply echoing human behavior of the past and “make up” excuses by simply repeating what is in their training set.

Stop asking the LLM why it did or didn’t do something. IT HAS NO IDEA. The “AI” is just an array of messages that get fed through a static data structure on each request. The transformer network has to rebuild the state of “thought” from that history every time. A state that’s promptly forgotten the moment the request ends. Which means that the LLM is inventing a plausible explanation based on the chat history rather than having knowledge of why it did or didn’t do something.

@davepl1968 @AutisticCoach_ I think the argument is about leverage. If communication difficulties are downstream effects of anxiety or overload, then targeting the upstream regulation issues may give broader improvements than just focusing on communication technique.

@AutisticCoach_ How does that help? Systemic issue or not, understanding it won't improve your quality of life unless it improves your communication.

Most autistic adults are trying to solve structural problems with personal effort. Trying "harder" - communicating "better" - "optimising" Meanwhile the real issue is that we were never taught how our nervous systems work. It's a systemic issue.
