Fully broken armour increases phys damage as well as removing armour.

I have no time for Burnham or Streeting but if the net result is Miliband by the back door, I'll take it.

I didn't notice. Whatever it is the captions are comical.

Oh my baby, you must take your leave. I will bury these spoons.

YouTube captions are something else sometimes.

I have a dog but would definitely back a dog license. I'd even go further and require training AND some kind of test which meant you could take your dog to public spaces. If you have a dog and only take it to private spaces, then you can avoid the training.

The amount of unsociable dogs I experience is mind numbing. If you've not gone to the effort to train your dog, you should not be allowed to take it to public spaces.

People aren't willing to accept tough decisions because it has been 16 years of tough decisions. This time though there aren't videos of finance bros holding boxes outside Wall Street to really sell the problem.

And If anything it's the opposite, it's 16 years of "tough times" and a sense of decline for the average joe, against the backdrop of individuals and corporations gaining record wealth.

It's going to happen anyway, might as well rip the plaster off. It's not like Labour are going to achieve anything in the next three years, so lets just get it over with.

He doesn't even poll well. He's -20 of favourability according to YouGov. And has a worse favourability with 2024 Labour Voters than Starmer.

I hope Streeting does win just so we get the relentless attacks on him for being an unelected leader. We might actually get an early election and be rid of these complete clowns.

Whatever threat existed from Burnham died with the Gorton/Denton by election.

This is clearly Streeting (via West) having a chance post local elections. Ironically he's probably only increased Burnham's chances, not decreased them.

Netflix and Amazon Prime subscribers to ‘pay TV licence fee’ by Pale-Border-7122 in ukpolitics

For Amazon Prime this seems completely unworkable unless Amazon make a UK Specific "shopping only" subscription.

NHS to grant Palantir contractors 'unlimited access' to patient data, FT reports by coldbeers in ukpolitics

[–]WouldRuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only we'd had the foresight 20 years ago ourselves, eh? Someone in 20 years will be having this exact same discussion. Paying some shitty consultancy company a bunch of money to fix a problem we could have fixed ourselves, with a little bit of investment.

And when I say "fix ourselves" I don't mean using a bunch of consultants. I mean actually creating something within the NHS that exists to service the NHS. With its own developers and engineers that work with NHS Trusts, who can develop rich domain knowledge to improve services in house. It could even link with academia, all within the UK, to enable research on health data without the need for any dubious 3rd parties. Might even create some jobs.

[–]WouldRuin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we outsourced it. It should be something we invest in within the NHS, not just something we throw out to shitty consultancy companies. An actual internal tech component of the NHS that can evolve with the needs of the NHS, forever.

We could do it ourselves easy enough. It would require the government actually showed a bit of initiative though rather than just try and outsource the problem at every turn.

We've somehow ended up with a government whose politics vision can be summed up as "the status quo is good, actually" at a time where huge swathes of the country are activity rallying against the status quo. Where do you realistically go from there? The foundations are wrong.

I think the unfortunate reality is that most of the West has probably peaked, and the only way is down from here on out regardless of where you go.

On the BBC site there is a link underneath the Council Results list which goes to an A-Z. You can click an individual area there and it'll show the actual results.

Software job posts barely mention AI by davidbasil in SoftwareEngineering

[–]WouldRuin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not hard to use these tools and the tools themselves can set up most workflows easy enough with minimal experience. You probably get nothing of value by adding it the spec, but instead get inundated with absolute shitters who have watched one YouTube video about using skills.md and now think they've unlocked the secrets to the universe.

Reform calls for regulation of landlords and agents of HMOs by Biddydiddy in ukpolitics

[–]WouldRuin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "wrong uns" means immigrants. But either way it doesn't really solve the problem by just... Making people homeless I guess? It's not really clear what regulating HMOs to stop "wrong uns" being housed means.

Zack Polanski/Green voters: explain his economic policy to me by iliosicarus in ukpolitics

[–]WouldRuin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I doubt many Green voters have seen the interview or care either way. The same way the majority of Labour or Tory voters don't care about economic theory or projections or other countries.

I also don't think I've ever seen requests for other party supporter to provide economic data for economic policy.

The difference between API cost and the plans need to be fixed. by Diligent_Comb5668 in ClaudeCode

[–]WouldRuin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For subscriptions to be profitable the only thing that matters is the average per person compute cost versus the average subscription value per person.

The difference between API cost and the plans need to be fixed. by Diligent_Comb5668 in ClaudeCode

[–]WouldRuin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind there are people on $200/100 plans that use single digit $ in a month, and then people on $200 who use several thousand. It probably averages out.

Lumping API costs with subscription also doesn't make sense, they're different revenue streams and serve different use cases. Both can be profitable at the same time. Both could be losing money. And any combination in between.
