@flyfour @Hoggmother11 @Jenny_1884 I stopped donations to them when I called them to save a drowning dog and they refuse to attend that’s why!
What are you implying?

@bane_bears @CharlotteCGill No it doesn't. Last year it made £26.4million. The lowest since 1995. Less than a quarter of what it made in 2011.
English

@CharlotteCGill They do nobody donates anymore. Yet it will break last year's record, it always beats the previous year. It's impossible.

Comic Relief awarded:
£340,000 to Bail for Immigration Detainees
£200,000 to Detention Action
and £2,254,267 to Refugee Action, which provides "activist packs" on its website.
Is it time the British public boycotted Red Nose Day?

@CharlotteCGill Stop paying in years ago. A little digging gave startling findings.
Let’s not forget Terry Wogan (man of the people) fees to host.

@grok @Ossan_Anna @Deep_Take001 Really, as all his other tweets and retweets seem to be about the situation in the Gulf and the US war on Iran and the shortages and costs of oil. On what basis do you think it's about the UK Meningitis outbreak?
English

He's referring to the meningococcal B (MenB) outbreak in Kent, UK. Cases hit 27 (15 lab-confirmed + 12 suspected) as of today, with 2 deaths—a 21yo uni student and a sixth-former. Linked to Club Chemistry nightclub in Canterbury, hitting students at unis and schools.
UKHSA is rolling out targeted vaccines/antibiotics to contacts and club visitors since Mar 5. Officials: risk to general public low, not as contagious as COVID, expect more cases but contained.

@YesterdaysBrit1 Bits of. Some episodes are good. Some make no sense, at least not to me. Some I don't like. Portmerion is a nice place to visit though!

@AlanWilkes16 1.2% of RNLI callouts are to small boats in the Channel. 98.8% are to other emergencies. That second figure represents 15,105 lives saved last year. They are a charity, and don't pre-judge before going to the aid of humans in trouble.
I suspect for you they'd make an exception.
English

Then dont do it, simple.

English

@StephenLeek7 @Jenny_1884 I used to sail & always donated to RNLI (just in case) now they are glorified taxi’s for illegals so will never donate another penny

@TonyB_1997 @anon_opin At 90mph you'd travel the length of two arctic trailers further in 2 seconds than at 70mph. That would be a death sentence in many incidents.
English

@anon_opin It’s not hard to work out journey times at 90MPH either.
Far easier than 70.
90 is the perfect balance of low criminal risk versus progress.

@cleckylad What pisses me of more is they have someone check your receipt as you leave, if they don’t trust me to do it myself then don’t give me the option

@Nigel_Farage There were about as many people in Trafalgar Square as there were in my local Tesco on Saturday morning. Not really a takeover is it.
English

What we witnessed in London at the historic Trafalgar Square, in a country built on Judeo-Christian values, was a group of people attempting dominance over our capital city and our culture.
We are not going to surrender everything that was built over centuries and defended at great cost in two world wars for us to be a free, independent nation.
The British people will not put up with this any longer — simple as.

Morning 👋! We have some exciting news for customers. We’re replacing our intercity high speed trains (HSTs) with more modern Class 222s. 🚆
The triple 2s are getting a complete makeover with a new interior, better Wi-Fi, improved accessibility, cycle spaces, and electronic seat reservations.✨
You’ll be able to board the first of these trains in late 2027.
Check out this link for more details: scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail…

@defense_civil25 We stood up to a convicted fellon and sex offender who started a war and bombed a girls school to stop us talking about his hundreds of appearances in the files of a dead pedophile, and said no, sort your own mess out. Oh and we haven't forgotten Epstein

@mikeerwydd1968 @RNLI 1.2% of callouts are to aid small boats in the Channel, in 2024 they helped c.26 people a week.
The other 15,105 people they helped were lucky the RNLI, a charity, exist.
They make no pre-judgement about who they go to help, although I suspect they might think twice for you..
English

If you're driving a lorry over from France and an illegal immigrant has sneaked into your truck you get a fine of £10,000 per immigrant.
The @RNLI brings in hundreds every week, no fines whatsoever.

Holy shit... Microsoft open sourced an inference framework that runs a 100B parameter LLM on a single CPU.
It's called BitNet. And it does what was supposed to be impossible.
No GPU. No cloud. No $10K hardware setup. Just your laptop running a 100-billion parameter model at human reading speed.
Here's how it works:
Every other LLM stores weights in 32-bit or 16-bit floats.
BitNet uses 1.58 bits.
Weights are ternary just -1, 0, or +1. That's it. No floats. No expensive matrix math. Pure integer operations your CPU was already built for.
The result:
- 100B model runs on a single CPU at 5-7 tokens/second
- 2.37x to 6.17x faster than llama.cpp on x86
- 82% lower energy consumption on x86 CPUs
- 1.37x to 5.07x speedup on ARM (your MacBook)
- Memory drops by 16-32x vs full-precision models
The wildest part:
Accuracy barely moves.
BitNet b1.58 2B4T their flagship model was trained on 4 trillion tokens and benchmarks competitively against full-precision models of the same size. The quantization isn't destroying quality. It's just removing the bloat.
What this actually means:
- Run AI completely offline. Your data never leaves your machine
- Deploy LLMs on phones, IoT devices, edge hardware
- No more cloud API bills for inference
- AI in regions with no reliable internet
The model supports ARM and x86. Works on your MacBook, your Linux box, your Windows machine.
