In the early days of the IPL, every penny was for name recognition, mostly off the back of test cricket.

Maybe he should reshuffle himself to foreign sec

would not a less, rather than more, extreme reaction function lead to higher 10-year inflation expectations?

I think my view is that it is less the size of the car that is the problem, and more accelerating the behavioural shift away from pointless car use for short journeys

Can you fit both all your luggage *and* a largish dog in the boot? It would also be nice to be able to occasionally offer a lift - currently 2 childseats take up the entire backseat

Maybe? Can you definitely fit 3 suitcases and quite a large dog in the boot though?

I do find the parallel conversations about cars fascinating. On the internet everyone is convinced cars are absolutely enormous should be made more expensive, in real life other parents bemoan not being able to find a single car big enough to fit two modern child seats and a dog for under 50 grand

There are these separate conversations about technology being too powerful and taking away all these jobs, and also all of these things that we need to fix but can't afford to do so, and no-one twigs that with a bit of imagination and determination, one is the solution to the other

Someone said the other day "we planned to use machines to clean the house whilst we wrote poetry, but its turning out the other way round" and I wanted to scream: This is a CHOICE! Humans have agency. We can choose to use machines however we wish! Nothing here is inevitable or unavoidable!

Its also not uncommon for brewers to use different recipes in different countries

Weird. I honestly couldn't tell the difference if you gave me unmarked glasses

I'm sure they will, but he's quite good at being combative without coming across as defensive against what he sees as unprofessional or biased media, and so I suspect they will wish they hadn't as generally the reporter comes off looking worse from these type of exchanges

That's a really good, clear, nuanced, thoughtful answer, by far the best answer I've ever heard a politician give, and its not surprising he comes across well and is winning support wherever he goes

well what do you think it means?

he don't grass on noncin

Who else is there for the english to be independent from?

The concept of English independence only really makes sense in terms of throwing off the norman yoke.

Lol

Racism

Is this not massive scale code duplication though? The code to do basic data extraction and statistical manipulation surely already exists many times over.

Like a very basic point: calculators exist! If you want to build an LLM that correctly answers maths questions, just code it it to interface with a calculator package. If your solution is to get it to try to figure out the answer based on linguistical patterns, you're an idiot

I'm still slightly confused/alarmed that people keep trying to use LLMs to do tasks that LLMs are clearly *not at all* suited for, rather than using LLMs to create a natural language interface for a more appropriate technical software package

Historians will spend centuries trying to unpick which bits of this presidency were naked corruption, which bits acts of personal vindictiveness, and which bits just the confused ramblings of an old man

I have asked the BBC to scrutinise + correct the factually inaccurate claims made by Mr Nigel Farage about why net migration fell in 'Political Thinking with Nick Robinson'

Here is the link if you want to do something like this.

Everything there is incredibly spread out. Suburban roads are like half a mile wide. Parking lots are larger than small European towns. When I stayed with friends *in a relatively dense suburb* in NoVa, it was a 45 minute drive to the nearest shop, and they thought nothing of it.

I've stood up at consultation events and explained plans, and the vast majority of people who came up and asked questions and disagreed genuinely had really good points! If they didn't, it was generally because they were confused rather than disingenuous.

Maybe like 10% of objections are done in bad faith. Most are not. Whiskey is, but many actually have very good points. The risk is that you fall into the trap of assuming bad faith at the outset. That's a real surefire way to radicalise people against you.

Nimby is an unhelpful catchall. There are some people who just don't want their pastoral view spoiled, and others who genuinely want to see better designed developments for the benefit of everyone. Important to note that these are both perfectly legitimate views!

Feels like a motte and bailey that conflates two very different conceptions of social conservatism

Or just the price of carrots
