And we'll all bitterly regret the willingness by the devs to indulge furries and other perverts from the start.

Where are ofcom and the culture secretary in all this?

Just on a long rope.

Reckon you could drop a net off the side, see what you can scoop up?

He's mad. All they have to do is go public with it and demand he be removed. It won't solve all the problems, but it will eliminate a major one.

Cook. And allow the pilot and navigator to work in shifts?

oh fuck

We are getting to the point where in any other authoritarian country a general would be considering a coup.

Death To America! is going to be the main route to electoral success for much of Europe for a generation.

The first domestic politician to explicitly and vocally blame Trump and America is going to reap huge benefits, aren't they?

Unfortunately that bullet is going to hit us too.

Pretty high chance Keir said something during their call, isn't there?

But that's within a 3 hour window 4-7pm. If I used it for consumption I'd only make £0.07 per kwh.

Yeah I've got a large battery and cheap night rate electricity and an export tariff that changes every 30mins so the economics of solar for me are based on storing then exporting during peak demand. I'd make £0.15-0.25 for every solar kwh exported.

What's the yield like from vertical panels? Thinking of sticking some on a e/w and a South fence in my garden given they're cheap and I've got a hybrid inverter already.

Yes. Also I guarantee that cuts to Glasgow City Council budgets and thus inspections have resulted in a large number of premises not meeting safety standards.

You're asking me to prove biology works via gradients?

Biology works by gradients, computers work by discrete logic. These don't overlap.

Then words have lost all meaning and no progress can be made on the argument. 'What is consciousness?' is a fair question that can be investigated using scientific methods. Assuming a silicon chip meets undefined necessary and sufficient conditions for consciousness is a religious belief.

Hyperloop, but for ships.

If it was simple it would have evolved sooner. Evolution generally doesn't favour the complex over the simple.

Oh dear.

Silicon based computing has a hard limit because circuits can only be made so small. We will never have the capacity to reproduce a neuron in silico. Now if you want to wire organic matter to machines, you've got more of a case for a solution.

Complexity. The most powerful computers we have today can't model the interactions between molecules in a single neuron as a closed system, let alone a mere handful responding to stimulii.

Not while silicon chips using binary are the substrate.

In the finest tradition of Scottish sects.

Oh dear oh dear. It's too easy to think that there is a mind with lived experience behind short form social media posts, there must be a mind behind some statistically generated prose with, at best, a low resolution knowledge graph underpinning it.

Oh

Who now?

Lancet surveys of Iraq War casualties - Wikipedia

Incidentally, although publishing Wakefield was the worst thing he's done, he's made quite a few iffy publication decisions around non-medical matters that somehow ended up in The Lancet, e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancet_...
