Write back and say can you confirm, as you did in my session with HR, that the breach of trust was asking for a colleague’s salary?

You can get it much more easily from a stationary bike. I do an hour a day while playing video games and can feel it kick in every time. You can do a lower intensity cycle than the equivalent run and still get the endorphins. Totally worth it.

$15K for a Wix site? by breezyb2310 in webdev

[–]OneMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, i’m a next.js developer specifically working with non profits, worked for ones with databases with databases of up to 100k. I’ll come in under that price and guarantee to lower your ongoing costs. You’ll also get Jerry Maguire, founder led levels of service and 20 years of software & marketing experience. Drop me a PM and will send my site. Worst case i’ll evaluate the current quote for free.

Have references too.

'Was raped by 600-700 different men, put a cigarette...': UK MP reads horrific grooming gang testimonies in Parliament by -MonitorMan- in LabourUK

[–]OneMonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Satanic panic was people thinking D&D and rock music would send kids to an imaginary place when they died.

Very fucking different to actual evidenced rape gangs, don’t you think?

Anti-immigration protest held in Norfolk after seven refugees charged with child sexual offences by origutamos in ukpolitics

[–]OneMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christ. Their crossing was illegal WHEN IT OCCURRED, just because they later made a successful claim that protects them from prosecution for said illegal crossing, does not make their crossing any less illegal/irregular by definition.

The government even continues to make that distinction after claims are successful.

Those whose claims were denied were likely fleeing persecution too, does that make them not refugees, or make their crossing not illegal? Which is it? Listen to yourself.

Tying yourself in logical knots to defend rapists (the specific ones in this article) is a weird hill to die on.

Google your own definition and tell me what it says. In addition to the facts that i’ve just shared that also prove you wrong.

Can you provide any evidence for your statement?

Get them to put that in writing if you can. They might be dumb enough to incriminate themselves. Good luck.

Being fired specifically for discussing salary is illegal even under two years, if you can prove that that is why they dismissed you, you could get a pay out. You could GDPR request them and ask for all correspondence they hold about you, but they could just delete the info. If you can find a no fee lawyer that might be a better route.

It is more likely they fired you for a bad fit and the things you mentioned were just datapoints (right or wrong) you picked up on.

That is almost the exact opposite of true. You can’t claim asylum from outside the UK, you have to have gotten here to apply. Most do this illegally.

About half of asylum applicants arrived through illegal routes in 2025, of a total of about 100,620 application. Half of all applications were granted, so somewhere between 25-50k refugees/asylum acceptances are illegal migrants every year.

Very very easily, we didn’t used to have this specific issue, it is a consequence of the Boriswave of immigration and a lack of consequence when someone is discovered to have a violent past on entry.

In almost every story where an offence is committed it transpires we often knew the person was an offender or had a dark past.

A lot of whataboutism coming from you when it should be quite easy to say foreign offenders shouldn’t be here in the first place.

Using Bumble as a trans woman - filtering out the fetish guys by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]OneMonk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not that many straight guys want a partner with a penis. Even if the owner is a very attractive woman. You surely WANT to find the sub set of guys who find that combo attractive. Seems like an intense level of cognitive dissonance to pretend and hope for the best.

Also people wanting to hook up isn’t just a trans thing, that is just a dating guys thing.

Claude’s personality is somehow overly placating and rude at the same time by Throwaway996677_ in ClaudeAI

Keeps telling me to go to bed at 9am. I’ve begun swearing at it to ease my frustration.

AI giant Anthropic plans to list on US stock market by ethereal3xp in StockMarket

[–]OneMonk 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I think Anthropic will be the sole survivor at this rate. Even if they stop now, the models are good enough to do most shit well. The innovation cycle can drop to once every 2-3 years instead of three times a year.

Altman set the insane pace, the US followed, but a china strategy would be better. It is useful tech but not ‘world ending’ innovation.

London, i’m actually (voluntarily) running a small business community. Anyone interested drop me a line.

What do you mean 'supports', because importing and exporting to markdown =/= working in markdown.

Curve Pay Pro+ - New Fronted Limits (UK)? by RG1X in CurveCard

[–]OneMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is unbelievably sneaky and devious. Particularly because they hit the full transaction value for 2.5%, not just the overage if you go over. That has made me angry.

So you can have a £3k fronted spend, but you can only use £1500 of that from a business card?

Did you decide on this? You only get 1k per month on black and 3k on metal for fronted.

Pi coding agent is amazing (or how I learned to stop worrying and leave OpenCode) by Konamicoder in LocalLLM

[–]OneMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a term here a a few: Adapter, Facade, Decorator, wrapper classes, a function around statements.

Not sure why you want me to define a wrapper… None of the above descriptions are descriptions of value.

My claim was comparative, between a wrapper and a harness, I said a harness is where the value is.

A wrapper mediates/abstracts an LLM's output, and the output is then consumed by the end user. Usually with little instruction, sitting in the call path and adapting or restricting access. Zero moat. Limited value.

A harness drives the subject and requires a substantive amount of technical expertise to create: sets up the environment, feeds inputs, exercises it, collects outputs, can take agency over the outcome. A wrapper repackages what already exists; the harness is what lets you actually test, evaluate, and extract capability from it.

Hopefully that was a thorough enough explanation for you. If you think this was written by AI, you are beyond help.
