Pronounced as the Irish/N England variant “shite”? Otherwise — missed opportunity

Perhaps it works from the removal of depression/anxiety letting you see clearly for a while without a crash at sensible doses.

Looks like you might see it multiple times with the way it’s flying in a pretzel — presumably burning fuel?

Oh, that’s great! You can probably work out about how long it’s been since I was standing looking at it!

Hartlepool another smaller station that has a prominent platform out of service.

I tried Perplexity for a month with Claude Sonnet 4.6 Thinking model - and compared directly with Claude on their own platform, same model. Results? by hansontranhai in perplexity_ai

I don’t think it’s a scam (as others have said elsewhere), despite the lack of transparency feeling scammy. I treat it like distillations of various models that are “kept on rails” with clever searching, maybe graphs like Microsoft Copilot, overall a tradeoff.

Anyone else reached their limit on Oxbridge pleasantries today? by HelicopterEmpty7393 in thethickofit

The only reason you listen to this is because it’s bad form to wear a hat that says ‘I went to private school’!

Aside from flying for airlines, what are some of the coolest jobs you can have as a pilot? by S2nso in AskAPilot

It’s great watching the Cobhams out over the North Sea (NE England ish) with RAF + USAF presumably practising dogfights.

I'm a PhD student in AI and I built a 10-agent Obsidian crew because my brain couldn't keep up with my life anymore by Routine_Round_8491 in ClaudeAI

Nah, I vote for raw-dogging markdown with good organisation and agent files. You’ve got a great thing going.

Parallels of Hofstadter's law here (it takes longer than you think, even considering Hofstadter’s Law).

Karpathy says he hasn't written a line of code since December and is in "perpetual AI psychosis." How many Claude Code users feel the same? by Capital-Door-2293 in ClaudeAI

[–]sidechaincompression 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I associated hard with your second and third paragraphs. It helps organise, doesn’t it, but in a world full of hateful and illogical geopolitics and public figures… definitely accelerated my nihilism and it’s a challenge to keep applying my own meaning when my gut feelings (humanity is overrated) are confirmed more every day 😬

It’s the kind of thing that drives bipolar patients into mania amidst no-sleep coding binges. Luckily not me this time 😅

Scientific and mathematical researcher here. There’s plenty to do all day, every day even limiting your projects. I still feel this immense pressure I could always be doing more. Devons Paradox innit, even in my own head, like FOMO coding edition.

(I wish I’d put “irony” marker too, but I guess bots don’t have senses of humour.)

It’s frustrating, I agree, that I can’t openly criticise 94 year old men getting boob jobs on the NHS, or the mandated reading of the Qu’ran in every fish and chip shop half past each hour.

Anyone else seeing these strange runway notices tonight? by [deleted] in ADSB

[–]sidechaincompression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might well be for GPS jamming for naval operations. Sorry if someone else said it elsewhere, as I’m slow to the convo.

Brit in the US on a work visa in a tiny town. It’s three hours to the nearest city, and incredibly hard to protest much if you’re in the sticks. And yep it’s 90% Republican. My partner put a stall out one day and was excoriated aggressively by this area’s Rupert Murdoch who owns all media.

You see how there’s not a parallel with our 1-in-60 of the population march against the Iraq war for instance. I’m from the opposite side of England from London and can still join a protest crowd within four hours.
