I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

This has been a brilliant series, Iโ€™ve read a bunch of Orwell, Kafka etc. but didnโ€™t know the history in enough detail to see just how true it all was.

6hrs in so far and no Peopleโ€™s Front of Judea joke either (not sure how I feel about that)

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.

But you can parse a duchy and heโ€™s left outside.

The New York Times has now published a document which sets out the governmentโ€™s basis for the proscription. This is the โ€œopenโ€ version of the MI5 assessment that has been placed before the courts in litigation challenging the proscription. The judges would also see a โ€œclosedโ€ version with material not to be placed in the public domain. 


One hopes the โ€œclosedโ€ version is a far more impressive document than the one published, which is a flimsy and unconvincing piece of work. The assessment even admitsโ€”twiceโ€”that most of the activity of Palestine Action cannot be called terrorism.  

The document overall reads as if it has been compiled backwards, intending to justify a conclusion that needed to be reached. If so, it will not be the first intelligence document to have been created in such a way.

The assessment relies on the group having caused โ€œseriousโ€ property damage, which is the relevant statutory test. The problem here is that the spraying of paint and graffiti by the group does not meet the threshold of seriousness. 

The document also relies on โ€œopen sourceโ€ estimates of the cost of damage which, if one looks at the cited sources, trace back to a claim which the police themselves put to arrested protesters in interview. As such there is a certain circularity: the state is relying on the state claiming the damage is serious.

NEW

Has the government overreached in using terrorism law against Palestine Action?

A disclosed MI5 document indicates that the basis for proscription may be weak

I once got on the front page of B3ta with an animated gif of no hands as King Kong (swooping planes and all) it took me HOURS, a million layers and was janky as hell.
So much appreciation for the skill and time you put in to your work.

Asking what flavour API they have with a side order of โ€˜do you version itโ€™ can often elicit a satisfyingly panicked look from the salesperson.

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely.

That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles.

Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.

Snip of the report: 

After the aborted drive the TITAN and LARS were towed back to the stern of 
the HORIZON ARCTIC for recovery operations. While the TITAN and LARS were being pulled up the stern ramp and onto the stern of the HORIZON ARCTIC, 
OceanGate experienced their first โ€œincidentโ€ of the 2021 expedition when the forward 3,000 lb titanium dome sheared off of the TITAN and landed on the front of the LARS. According to TITANโ€™s Maintenance Log, the forward dome was subsequently inspected, reinstalled, and an incident report was completed. The MBI was unable to obtain the incident report filed for the incident.

Ok, this is too good not to share immediately from the Titan report.
