After public outcry, a national inquiry was promised to the British people last year by their [pro-immigration] Prime Minister... but, of course, this process has still not even begun.

The facts of the independent rape gang inquiry must be faced head on, not ignored because we find the person who instantiated it uncouth. The state has repeatedly refused to make good on its promises of an inquiry, it is a disgusting and inhumane injustice to the past (and future) vicitims.

The facts are horrific and shameful.

I suspect they've been planning this and experimenting for many months. Along with the large existing test suite, they have lots of tooling for parallelizing agents and an unlimited token budget. So don't feel too bad..

I suppose the question is whether the author had ever entered into a contract limiting reverse engineering...

"$30B in sales and $1B in profit."

This margin seems terrible.

Does it? I'm not sure I'd necessarily notice but I haven't found it noticeably worse.

me feel that it needs some tweaking - it's a little annoyingly cute (and could be even terser).

same. I use pi - and anthropic pricing change have made it usuable with Max. Codex works pretty much the same, not need to change development practice... apart from no 429s (so far).

had been using claude max/opus with pi and the results have been incredible. Having pi write an AGENTS.md and dip your feet into creating your own skills specific to the project.

With the anthropic billing change (not being able to use the max credits for pi) I think I have to cancel - as I'm whirring through credits now.

Going to move to the $250/mo OpenAI codex plan for now.

I think people are more concerned about SpaceX getting the raw deal here.

I think one of the things that will need to be embraced is carefully curating .md context files to give the prompts better/shared direction to contributors. Things like any new feature or fix should include a test case (in the right place), functions should re-use existing library code wherever possible, function signatures should never change in a backwards-incompatible way, any code changes should pass the linter, etc etc. And ideally ensure the agent writes code that's going to be to the maintainer's "taste".

I haven't worked out how to do this for my own projects.

Once you've set it up it's not too hard to imagine an AI giving an initial PR assessment... to discard the worst AI slop, offer some stylistic feedback, or suggest performance concerns.

the European Union was seen to be a good thing in the eyes of the archetypal Brit

It wasn't, hence Brexit. We were dragged in via a Customs Union against the will of the British electorate at every turn.

The £100k threshold is such an economically illiterate policy for society. The GPs and lawyers I know are working ~3 days a week to avoid it, so much economic output and taxes missed out on.

and most don't live in the neighbourhood, city or even state (in tech anyways).

This is great for HMRC because it collects 10 times more than what the publican does

WTF.

Is this something likely to ever change?

I'm reminded of a graduate course in Elliptical Curves where, late in the semester, we took a lecture to speedrun all the prerequisites and ideas of Perelman's [then new] proof of the Poincaré conjecture. It was wild but a lot of fun.

the process is the punishment

Or outcompete because it's state-funded, and can inject things like remote access (that the state might like the option to use one day).

It's really confusing that the EU don't consider this "dumping". I thought that was this big thing that they cared about.

The being table open for the entire time with 100bb minimum and no maximum.. is going to lead to some wild swings at the top.

and the board isn't dry (there are straight and flush draws).

"make money in the UK"

an oxymoron.

I would vote against it given the chance.

Unfortunately the British people are rarely given a chance to vote and even more rarely listened to.

The question is which version of node, not npm.

A General Election cannot come soon enough.

L1 is another option.

I just wish they had a smaller offering than the SE. (But seemingly this is the case for everyone nowadays.)

So why not have the employer pay the entirety of the tax burden? Make it seem, to the employee, like they are paying 0 tax.

Biden's Chips Act attempts to onshore chip production, arguably so that we wouldn't have to protect Taiwan in the future (or mitigate against it's eventual capture). However, were Trump to allow China to take Taiwan it would make him look incredibly weak - he won't do that.

If it happens, it happens this year.

It's ironic given pre-acquisition under every Elon Musk tweet the top replies were always crypto scammers. Hopefully this time YouTube fix the impersonation stream but it was up for a long time during/after the last launch.

Politicians should not, indeed in the US it can be illegal for government branches to, make decisions based on the political views of a vendor’s CEO.

Clearly the current administration have been doing this willy nilly. Excuse my English.
