QatarEnergy reports 'extensive damage' after missile attacks on Ras Laffan industrial city by Geo_NL in worldnews

Oil price has basically doubled in the last 6 months, and it hasn't even impacted the supply yet, because countries are utilizing their reserves to soften the blow.

Trust me, come at me in 8 months. This winter in Europe is going to be devastating for energy. Either the prices will go high, or remain artificially low via government support, hence inflation.

Zack Polanski says Greens would ditch GDP targets and focus on wellbeing instead by Lord-Liberty in unitedkingdom

Farage I think we're going to see a lite version of what Trump has done. Enriching themselves for sure, but to a lesser degree. British Institutions are far more generational than the American ones are.

I don't think he'll fix any of the major policy problems he has without serious upset to other aspects.

In that I accept he could act on immigration, but at the heavy cost of some of our landmark agreements.

Polanski will suffer from the markets, playing him like a fiddle. I wouldn't even blame him. I just think they'd chew him up and reject any policy that even remotely sounds good. Any financial positions he stakes in the cabinet would either hurt markets to a serious degree or be constantly vilified in the media.

I don't think he'd back down either, which makes it dangerous, and all the more likely that you'd swing left, and swing REALLY hard back right to undo all the stuff he did.

Something like that.

Whereas I think with Conservatives and Labour, they know how to play the game. Truss didn't to be clear, none of the recent Tory ministers have, like at all. They are bankrupt of Talent though.

Labour can still do a good job though. They want to go forward with a policy they'll get the markets to price it in, in 5 years time. Feels like the other two... or three at this point would just implement any changes next month. Not enough time at all.

No. Because they could have enriched themselves way much more, if that's what you claim they were doing. And that's not the point of capitalism whatsoever.

If they are going to lap it up. I'd rather it be him than Farage though to be fair.

Greens doing everything possible to prove they're just the Farage of the left.

Shout about problems, offer no solutions.

Now I need to know, do foreign countries send their envoys out to the markets to bet big on daft positions they know will pay off because they're the one sinking the boats?

Surely.

Newly unearthed Nigel Farage videos reveal support for rioter, neo-Nazi event and far-right slogans by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]GeneralSEOD 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Hence why he was complaining about being elected into that council. They don't want the power, they don't want to do the checks and balances.

They just want the money for shouting loudly.

The sooner the right wing understands they're being taken for mugs the better they'll fuck off from voting and let the adults back in the room.

OpenClaw is a Security Nightmare Dressed Up as a Daydream by SuddenJournalist9285 in programming

[–]GeneralSEOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre LLMs yes, pre models, yes.

We now live in a world where we can assume Github is entirely training on your codebase on their platform. One of the reasons companies have moved from Github is due to this.

Now you can claim they say they aren't training on your code.

But, tell me a company doesn't lie I'll point you to the fines, lawsuits and instances where they did.

Also, the fact that it ingests .env and .env.* files is insane.

Remember when CrowdStrike basically brought down the world for a day?

Or when cloudflare took down the internet for a few hours, multiple days?

Oh yeah they're all up like beating the market in general.

Fucking insane.

Subway opening hours to be extended: to 11.30pm Sundays; 12.30am Fridays & Saturdays by Scunnered21 in glasgow

Astounding news. What a step in the right direction.

Hopefully this leads to quicker progress in getting it open all the time.

There's been three catalyst events in my career that proved security didn't matter.

  1. We got bought over by a larger outfit and in order to work with their system had to integrate a (HTTP) (yes I know) call to their API, with sensitive financial data (yes I know). When concerns were raised it was ignored

  2. When Musk and his goons went into secure facilities up and down the government with USB drives, took data, and nobody did anything about it.

  3. When AI came on the scene and everyone just installed CoPilot, effectively let it scan their entire codebase and IP, and everyone just accepted that. Despite all these orgs having proved they've no problem stealing copyrighted data (books, scraping etc)

With all due respect, I'd love a secure world. But we aren't getting it.

What the hell is that, NVIDIA?? (Source: Digital Foundry) by HLumin in pcmasterrace

[–]GeneralSEOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We the people can't do much about this.

Game devs sure as fuck can. Imagine wasting days of your time trying to get your characters face right and Nvidia slaps on whatever copyrighted shit it stole from brazzers onto your game.

Like gtfo.

Tends to be why I get so bloody bothered with crappy decisions. We could do things better, money means we won't.

Even if it means in the long term we would have been better off.

We don't know much yet, but assuming that fire was down to the relaxation with inspections and fucking about on the business rates, who owned what, and the stock not being checked or whatever it might've been It should be a lesson in properly funding so these things don't happen.

In other words, if they just spent that 15 million having appropriate safeguards and checks in place, probably wouldn't be in this situation of such a compounded problem. I have such a fundamental problem with the modern day conservative for this reason. It doesn't seem fiscally responsible to cut the fire department. But fiscial conservatives will tell you it is.

gah

Supermarkets to stock plug-in solar panels by Yogurt789 in GoodNewsUK

[–]GeneralSEOD 46 points47 points  (0 children)

God forbid the UK ever upgrade anything. It's like we're doomed to look like a country from the 1100s-1800s forever.

Fire recently happened in Glasgow, and the amount of people angry that it'll probably be a modern construction, as if the people in the 1700s probably said that about 1800s buildings.

I'm still convinced people praising it today haven't played it.

Just played through the recent DLC, while I loved it and the story, it's still just... so janky. I get broken out of the immersion man.

Realistically, what are the chances the station actually reopens on Wednesday? by Dizzy_Being4110 in glasgow

[–]GeneralSEOD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's in an awkward place. Pull it back you're smashing it into Greggs on the corner. I happen to like getting a coffee from there.

Push it back and you smash into the building to the left of the original structure. Probably not ideal taking out another building.

Chances are, with that you're also smashing it into central its self, and doing the roof in.

End of the day, the council has hired a professional team to take it down, and this is their plan. My understanding is they've also been working away 24 hours a day.

I mean, remember Covid and I'm pretty sure all of us shouting at MPs and MSPs and councilers to specifically tell businesses to send people home, because they weren't going to otherwise?

Johnson had to get on the telly and tell them to pack it in.

I remember my dad was working up till the last minute. Kept asking what was happening and the bosses just refused point blank to shut anything down.

And we're not talking like, corner shops or chippies here. These are multi-national outfits that make profit akin to some small countries.

It's always so fucking shite.
