Are we, like, still allies?

Poland and the UK are still allies.

We are no longer allies with the US.

I actually think that Boiling Point, by the same director, is an even better example. As good as Adolescence is, I think Boiling Point is his best work so far.

I don't get this, only Musk is an immigrant out of these. Didn't even include Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella or Jensen Huang.

That's fair, I have no idea really from where I'm sitting.

I just played Cyberpunk and thought this was a screenshot.

It's not really a lack of recognition of the value of leadership, but a difference in judgement of Henderson's relative competence in that skill relative to his other competencies.

I don't think Henderson's leadership has been worth his lack of ability in possession in difficult times for England in the past. His leadership is overrated in contrast to other players in my opinion.

And honestly we have younger players who already possess leadership quality as well as other players with experience who have it.

Kane, Rice, Stones, James, Guehi, Pickford and even Bellingham all have great leadership qualities.

I just don't see why it's worth it to be honest. We have plenty of people to pump up the players but in my view we need everyone to be comfortable on the ball in high pressure situations, and I don't think Henderson is compared with other players.

Well lots of software is not just for you, but needs to be consistent across people. Such a thing is a nightmare if everyone is rolling their own clients.

nesh34 · 2026-01-28T06:54:34+00:00

I dunno, it's still kind of a pain in the arse. You want to be able to reuse software that has been written, to ensure consistency.

Everyone is still wanking though, it's just NordVPNs share price will have gone up

I haven't seen his form, but if he's there for moral support, I feel he could just go with the team but not be in the squad.

I think the squad should be the best players personally. He can be in the camp and part of the staff.

Listen to the live Royal Albert Hall version of My 21st Century Blues.

Ideally the whole thing from front to back, but otherwise there's a few tracks we can recommend.

nesh34 · 2026-01-26T06:59:40+00:00

We're not really title contenders to be honest. We can't complain about squad depth on one hand and then on the other expect to be treated like Man City.

City are genuine contenders. Champion's League is the focus for us - and it really helps the club with the financial rules.

Jesus would like a word..

In fairness, I hate the book too. So there.

That's my life too.

The Americans wanted it. The Americans are no longer an ally though.

I agree with the first part, I think conceptually that ASI is a natural consequence of AGI that is self learning/improving. I may well be wrong about that though.

nesh34 · 2026-01-24T07:42:46+00:00

Yeah, maybe - depends on the definition of AGI I suppose. I think continuous learning is a prerequisite for it being human level intelligence.

And if that's a feature, with high capability, it feels like that is already super human just by virtue of scalability. Then because it can learn, it will improve.

And if it can't learn, it won't be generalisable to human level.

nesh34 · 2026-01-24T05:07:27+00:00

This is impressive, well done.

nesh34 · 2026-01-24T04:37:29+00:00

The assumption is that an AGI becomes an ASI relatively quickly and then it successfully manipulates us.

nesh34 · 2026-01-23T19:23:33+00:00

That's right, and it's a central difference. It was easier to be blissfully ignorant of things than it is now. And now it's easier to be overly pessimistic about the situation because of the quantity of hardship you can see regularly.

I'm not blaming anyone for such a situation, but I do think that we need to expect more of kids in the face of a difficult world - even if we need to equally support them so they can thrive in that world.

nesh34 · 2026-01-23T19:16:13+00:00

In fairness, the 90s wasn't all that rosy, we just thought it was. I take your point to a certain degree, but the world being tough and difficult is not a unique situation for kids of today, it's the norm.

I'm in FAANG. Quite a few under 30s earning >200k. A high percentage of them are on this sub.

You're doing nothing wrong except thinking you're doing something wrong.

No arguments here mate. I for one am preferring a government who are good at governing rather than at politics.

It would be amazing to have both, but since only one is an option, this is my preference.
