@BasilTheGreat You can’t help people with these absurd claims. It’s a bit like claiming a bridleways are car’ist.

🚨DIRECTOR FOR NATIONAL TRUST SAYS COUNTRYSIDE IS RACIST “The research clearly shows that ethnic minorities don’t feel comfortable in the countryside - there are lots of reasons for this, they don’t know what to wear, don’t know the countryside code” What is wrong with her?

Robin Askwith and Sid James shooting the Carry On film that never was - the film version of Bless This House (1972). What are your thoughts on this film?

@therealdanvega @khmarbaise Sat in awe of the complete trash GPT 5.4 formulated this morning. Threw it away and wrote it properly. Time saved - negative.

Speed first. Programmers were never judged on how many lines of code they could write. They were judged on whether they could solve a problem. Fast code that doesn't work isn't impressive. It's just fast garbage.

Someone new to coding showed me their vibe-coded project. 90,000 lines of code. They were proud. I didn't know where to start. 🧵

Recently I’ve been explaining more than ever before to people who are not interested. When I’m gone someone will take my place. What a waste.
Dustin@r0ck3t23

Jensen Huang just explained why China is winning the technology race in two sentences. Huang: “Our country’s leaders… they’re mostly lawyers. Most of their leaders are incredible engineers.” One country sends engineers to lead. The other sends lawyers. One builds. The other regulates what was already built. Huang: “They showed up at precisely the time when technology is going through that exponential.” China did not stumble into the AI era. They arrived engineered for it. The education system produces engineers at a scale the West refuses to match. The competition is not tough. It is Darwinian. The culture rewards builders. Not commentators. Not consultants. Builders. Then the accelerant. Open source. When your talent pool runs that deep and that hungry, you do not hoard breakthroughs. You release them. The community multiplies everything. What costs American companies a quarter, Chinese teams finish in weeks. Not because they are smarter. Because the entire system points one direction. Zero friction between idea and execution. No committee. No review board. No eighteen-month compliance process. Then Huang said the part that should terrify Washington. Huang: “Their country was built out of poverty.” Comfort makes nations careful. Poverty makes nations relentless. When you built everything from nothing, you do not slow down to protect it. You accelerate because you still taste what nothing felt like. America built its dominance with engineers. The highways. The moon landing. The semiconductor. The internet. Then it handed the keys to the lawyers. Compliance departments. Regulatory bodies. Oversight committees. Review processes for the review processes. Every layer of protection is a layer of friction. And friction is a luxury you cannot afford when your competitor rides an exponential curve. Fridman: “It’s a builder nation.” Huang: “Yeah, it’s a builder nation.” No pushback. No qualifier. The West is not being outspent. It is being out-structured. Engineers ask how do we build this faster. Lawyers ask how do we build this without getting sued. One of those questions wins the century. The other writes a detailed report about why it lost.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President the US has ever seen. Now it looks like he and his cronies may have used insider knowledge to enrich themselves while their war makes everyone else poorer.

The best original song from a movie has to be Bryan Adams “(Everything I do) I Do It For You” from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. How that song never made it to Number 1 is beyond me.

Larry Ellison just told every software engineer on Earth their job description is dead. Not evolving. Dead. Ellison: “The code that Oracle is writing, Oracle isn’t writing. Our AI models are writing.” This is not a startup demo. This is one of the largest infrastructure monopolies on the planet telling you it already replaced the people who built it. For fifty years, building software meant translating human intent into machine instructions. Line by line. Bug by bug. Sprint by sprint. That entire layer is gone. Ellison: “We don’t write the procedure. We declare our intent.” That sentence just made the entire engineering labor market flinch. The procedure was the job. The procedure was the paycheck. The procedure was what made a developer valuable. And now the machine does it without being asked twice. Ellison: “We just tell the model what we want the program to do, and then the AI comes up with a step-by-step process to actually do it.” You are no longer paid to build. You are paid to think. And most organizations have no idea how to evaluate that. The companies still hiring armies of developers to grind through codebases are paying salaries the machine already made worthless. Not in years. In seconds. When a company worth hundreds of billions hands the keyboard to the machine and tells you the output is better, the debate is not winding down. The debate is over. The enterprise that wins this decade does not write the best code. It removes the human from the process entirely and runs on intent alone. The programmers who survive are the ones who realize the craft is no longer typing. It is architecture. It is judgment. It is knowing what to build and why. Everything else now belongs to the machine. And the machine does not negotiate severance.

@GeoffNorcott Agreed, I was expecting the same old faces. I honestly suspected a left wing love in but it was even handed. I shall watch next week which in itself is an endorsement.

One of the things I enjoyed about SNL UK was seeing new faces. Especially from a generation of comics who haven’t had much of a shot at doing proper telly.

@freedombill3 Aside from dubious suppositions, your argument is short sighted. Without conspicuous consumption the firms driving compounding don’t exist.

Freedom Bill 💸🏖️🏝️
Walking past a David Lloyd car park on a Saturday afternoon looks like an absolute parade of pure wealth. You see endless rows of brand new Porsche 911s and Range Rovers sitting outside the premium gym and spa. It looks like the ultimate definition of success, but the reality behind the dashboard is completely different. Let us look at the actual numbers keeping that illusion alive. To put a brand new Porsche 911 por Range Rover on your driveway, you are easily handing over £1,200 - £1,500 every single month on a PCP finance deal. Then you are paying another two hundred quid a month just for the premium gym membership so you have somewhere flash to park it. That is nearly £1,700 pounds leaving the current account every single month, to rent an aesthetic. Over a single year, that is a full £20,000 Stocks and Shares ISA allowance completely wiped out. They are literally going broke just to look rich to people they do not even know. If the monthly salary stops, the car gets repossessed and the membership gets cancelled almost instantly. Real wealth is not driving a rented supercar to a premium treadmill. Real wealth is driving a standard car that you own outright, while your cash buys slices of the S&P 500 $VUSA or Vanguard Global $VWRL in the background. Are you funding a car dealership's profit margin? Or are you building freedom? Please don't rent the illusion.
