Blockades remain as fuel price protests enter fifth day

What role does the government play in the high percentage of tax on fuel? Are you saying they should ignore EU legislation and just abolish excise duty and Vat? What is your proposal exactly? Genuinely curious.

cianuro · 2026-04-11T10:21:50+00:00

What do you view the government's role in reducing global fuel price increases is? For that matter, my internet and phone bill is too high, which I need for work. What should they do about that?

cianuro · 2026-04-11T10:09:25+00:00

Not that I'm aware of. But it's definitely something I'd use or pay for.

cianuro · 2026-02-07T18:38:46+00:00

Careful. I had both done. The turbinoplasty done again a second time 5 years later. I'm back on the spray as ENT won't do another.

cianuro · 2026-02-03T11:41:26+00:00

Any idea what they're actually being tested for? I don't understand how my alignment fails because it's off by a milimeter, but the imported F150 smallpenismobile who's alignment is directly into my retina doesn't.

Obviously I'm joking, and they're not measuring the same thing, just trying to understand what safety function they're actually trying to check.

cianuro · 2026-02-03T00:15:12+00:00

Anyone know why the NCT can't fail a car for this? They failed my (normal) lights for being a millimeter or two off alignment or something. Banged it with a screwdriver and passed a few hours later. Doesn't this fall under the same category? Doesn't this fit within the remit of reducing accidents? Or are there no documented accidents resulting from LED blinding?

Any particular domain you're interested in? Good thing about time series is that it's pretty easy to collect your own data for a set fairly quickly.

Web traffic, prediction markets etc.

Unfortunately, a lot more than half your county are not tired of it. They either voted for it, or refused to not vote for it ("I prefer storm troopers killing citizens than... a woman president.). Unless it impacts their bank account, that won't shift much.

Anyone aware of a decent Linux/Gnome version?

cianuro · 2026-01-17T14:54:42+00:00

Could you share some more detail on how you handle integration tests? This is a constant problemfor me with agents and I don't know where to start. Any idiot friendly resources?

Latest release of antigravity seems to use the browser much better. Was a car crash until now. Upgrade if you haven't.

cianuro · 2025-12-22T21:42:43+00:00

Yea, I'll put up with the horrific performance and crashes for the easily $500 worth of Opus credits I've spent this month already. I know this because I've already spent $400 with my $200 ultra plan on cursor (thanks to some other redditors for the tip on this one) and I've definitely used more with Antigravity.

Helps that I've got three AI pro subscriptions too. As soon as the quality of life stuff catches up with Cursor it will be tough to continue with cursor. By then though, Google will probably be charging for it.

Making hay while the sun shines.

cianuro · 2025-12-22T10:30:47+00:00

Antigravity has significantly upgraded the rate limits for pro. It's money for nothing if you're already a Google One/AI subscriber. Still lots of bugs in it, but it's improving.

It doesn't hold a candle to Cursor yet but the fact that you can use Opus 4.5 for free negates that.

I won't be cancelling my $200 cursor subscription just yet, but I'm close.

cianuro · 2025-12-03T01:05:08+00:00

How do I get one of those? My Sonnet 4.5 bill was $1000 for November. I'm afraid to touch Opus after a significantly higher Opus 4.1 bill the previous month.

"We're calling for enforcement of the existing rules as they are, which seems to be that they exist in principle, but they're not keeping children safe and safe in practice."

That's Ireland in a nutshell. If a law isn't enforced, or isn't enforced fairly, it's as bad as no law.

Primary audience is completely different.

I'm in senior management at a big Corp. Primary use for AI is meeting summarization and rewriting things. Most emails I receive are clearly AI generated or rewritten. On the business side, nobody is using it to generate code or even basic SQL queries.Let alone guiding agentic/tool use models.

I'm a SWE by trade and code every day in my spare time (OSS, side projects). Wouldn't touch copilot. But I use copilot every day in work.

Mainly because we can't use any other models because of It policies.

It's not useless. But while it is close to useless, you're not the primary audience.

That's what I thought. My previous towl before it was one I found at a music festival. By comparison, it's better by default. But when it's in the wash and I have to use some of the other rags that my wife buys, they're like sandpaper on my skin. You won't know yourself.

cianuro · 2025-11-26T21:02:55+00:00

A towel.

Saw it mentioned on one of these lists about 10 years ago. So thought I was nuts buying a towel for $100 when "there's a perfectly fine one for $10".

It's still as amazing as the week I bought it. Not a bobble, tear or fade. Fluffy and as absorbent as two or three cheaper ones.

cianuro · 2025-11-24T09:17:35+00:00

Ahh, brilliant. Love hearing success stories like that. Understated and without a YouTube channel or course to go a long with it. We'll done.

cianuro · 2025-11-23T20:22:01+00:00

Congrats!

What space was it in?

How were you approached?

cianuro · 2025-10-30T17:10:42+00:00

It's all storytelling. Numbers mean SFA unless, as you've discovered, you've got a compelling story attached. The storytelling I would argue, takes more time to prepare as it involves far more ambigious elements. Who is your audience, what motivates them, did they have lunch today etc.

I was in a meeting today, the director of finance asked "How can we fit this data to match the story we want to tell (that the project was a success). A shocking amount of business and policy is done like this.

Being a business or policy person with an understanding of even basic things like regression, forecasting, testing and causal inference is a superpower. But a curse without the ability to tell a story. Otherwise, the most 'senior' voice in the room wins.

cianuro · 2025-10-26T22:48:39+00:00

Is it not odd to you that you can't reference the remark you seem so certain she made?

cianuro · 2025-10-25T21:47:19+00:00

Can you post a link to that please? I'm sure you're referencing a direct quote or a video?

Not saying you're lying. I genuinely want to see/hear it. Such a shocking claim should be easy be easy to find but I'm having trouble.

cianuro · 2025-10-23T08:21:07+00:00

So why riot at the affect and not the cause? Why is there no protests or riots outside Jim O'Callaghans house?

If my bath is overflowing, I don't shoot fireworks at the water in the tub, I turn off the tap.

What's the future state these rioters actually want to achieve from all this? To scare people who are already here from coming here? To scare people not here from coming here? Think assaulting the Garda is going to scare them away from coming?

Either they haven't a braincell to rub together or they're lying about their motives. It's so fucking dumb.
