One of the criteria is to deliberately peg your currency to the Euro for two years. This is optional and you can simply never do it.

So Sweden will not join the Euro without a referendum, even though they don’t have an opt out.

You absolutely can’t use LLMs for anything big unless you learn to code.

Think of an LLM as a particularly shit builder. You give them a small job and maybe 70% of the time they’ll give you something that works. But it’s often not up to spec, so even if it kinda works you’ll have to tell them to correct it or fix it yourself.

The bigger the job is and the more complex the more ways they have to fuck it up. This means in order to use them, you have to break the problem down into small sub tasks, and check that the code is good enough for each one.

Can they be useful? Sometimes yes, it’s quicker to have an AI write code than for you to do it yourself, and if you want something very standard it will probably get it right or almost right.

But you can’t just say ‘write me an app’ and expect it to be useable.

So a random person on Reddit claimed there’s about 800 million possible uk mobile numbers, some people have multiple numbers so ballpark 80 million active phone numbers. This gives around a 1:10 chance of picking an active number at random. If there’s actual patterns in the numbers this could be even more likely.

What’s interesting is this won’t have been a realistic sounding number.

Company lines typically start 0300 or 0800 but mobiles are 07… Something.

So if it was just hallucinating, it did so badly.

It being undemocratic is actually pretty important for the system to work.

Because only the house of commons is elected they have legitimacy and the house of lords knows that while they can resist some dumb crap, they do ultimately have to accept the decisions made there.

If you have two elected houses you end up like the US with the senate blocking everything the house of representative does.

A more representative second house with less rich people and politicial cronies would be nice though.

This actually doesn’t affect landlords because council tax is charged to people living in the house first, and only to the owner if no one is living there.

This primarily affects second home owners and short term lets, but there’s other renting reform coming as well, and this has already dropped house prices, so it’s a start.

Because demanding more nuclear power is free and feeds into the hype train.

Are they going to sign a contract committing to future energy use at a particular rate, so that we can build new power stations? Of course not, they don’t believe the AI hype that much.

But they will pretend they really need it.

How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?

I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.

Because Tesla is a meme stock.

It’s price has always been completely decoupled from the number cars they sell, and depends on musk constantly lying and promising fully working humanoid robots and self driving taxis by next year.

Hey guys, I’ve found JD Vance’s lemmy account!

What is a game that wouldn’t be solvable if you removed most of the pieces and positions?

I mean, yes. Any game with only a small number of possible moves can be solved with brute force trial and error.

All unsolved games must have a “sufficient amount of positions” that brute force isn’t an option, and enough complexity that there’s not a cute maths trick to solve it despite the number of moves.

Chess is one of these unsolved games.

They put that in vice city as a set of missions.

Mostly.

That’s exactly how I handle my five month baby, just with more screaming and pooping.

Moving abroad is different to giving up citizenship and doesn’t remove your right to vote or fund candidates.

Oh this is why my two monitor dongle only works on Linux.

I thought it was weird that I couldn’t get the second monitor to work without plugging it directly into a Mac, but I put it down to being a cheap dongle.

The most compelling thing about it is the fact that final link says that there’s problems with the earlier models you also linked to.

A critical constraint on solar system formation is the high 26Al/27Al abundance ratio of 5 ×10−5 at the time of formation, which was about 17 times higher than the average Galactic ratio, while the 60Fe/56Fe value was about 2×10−8, lower than the Galactic value. This challenges the assumption that a nearby supernova was responsible for the injection of these short-lived radionuclides into the early solar system.

They go on to explain a workaround, but if you’d even glanced at the abstract you wouldn’t have included the first two papers because the third one is arguing that the previous models are not supported by the evidence.

Have you read any of these?
