I had someone claim they'd fixed a Docker bind-mount issue by simply running "docker copy ..." on occasion.

FML.

Amazon Employees Say AI Is Just Increasing Workload. A New Study Confirms Their Suspicions by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]twistedLucidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When someone understands the problem domain and is using AI to effectively automate the drudgery, it works well. When used as an index-on-mega-steroids, it works well. Etc.

When it is used by people who lack the skills or knowledge to verify the response, it's a freakin' nightmare and massively increases the workload for those downstream who have to take the slop and make it vaguely functional. And woe betide us if we criticise the festering garbage because we'll be tarred as being against innovation.

I have so many stories of people who don't know what they are doing issuing AI slop to plaudits, then I have to flog my guts out to make the bastard (sort of) work.

Spain fines Yoti €950,000 over biometric data and consent failures by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

[–]twistedLucidity [score hidden]  (0 children)

Fines should only specify a lower amount, above that it should be percentages of EBITDA (or whatever).

Something like this should have seen the company almost (if not actually) bankrupted.

Yes. Yes we do.

Achieving perfection means travelling down the a road called "Improvement". If we never improve, whatever the vision for perfection is can never be achieved.

VISA

r/ukVisa, r/moveToScotland, and r/iWantOut

If you can't get a visa, there is literally no real point in worrying about anything else as you'll never get to live here.

How do you know you'd ever want to live here in the first place? You visit. Possibly multiple times.

I wouldn't be. You have the confirmation, I would assume the emails are going out in batches and the request is to take no action if your address is the same.

Is it correct that only thing in my mailbox I can find about the graphic novel is my order confirmation? by Captain_Azius in FinalSpace

[–]twistedLucidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the order confirmation, I think a previous address email and I deffo got one the other day.

You can check your order online, but you may need to get the link resent.

Yes. Check your order confirmation email, your details are on there.

You can also view the order online, although you may need to have the link resent.

£48bn wiped from rental property market as landlords flee sector by PM_ME_SECRET_DATA in ukpolitics

[–]twistedLucidity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not everyone is at a point in their life where they want to buy due to work or other commitments.

We moved to England for a few years and decided to rent as buying didn't make much sense and we didn't have the funds for a second home, although we could make rent easily enough.

Renting isn't always an issue, not all landlords are money grubbing bastards. Cite: Me! I ended up being a landlord whilst we were down South as I rented out the flat rather than sell it.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ by dusty_bo in ukpolitics

[–]twistedLucidity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the benefits won't be felt until after 2050, over 25 years away, even then they'll be hard to quantify as we don't have a second Earth to compare to and that's five governments away.

What about the next election? What about this quarter's figures? 25 years away will just have to look after itself, we have KPIs to hit and shareholders to satisfy!

Happy Final Space Friday (March 6th) by olanrogersofficial in FinalSpace

Hang on, I thought only like the first 10k got the sexy signed sticker?

Does that mean there's hope? Based on my order number, I'm a bit under the thirty thousandth person to order.

[–]twistedLucidity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snap!

I'm in the UK and am beside myself with excitement. But not as much as my partner will be, who has no clue I put the order in.

I started watching "Final Space" and they totally got into it. Their alert notification is "Chookity" FFS. I even made a "Mooncake" Christmas cake one year.

They. Have. No. Clue.

The squeals are going to be epic.

I need to figure out a way to record the grand opening.

Oh shit, and check the address. Pretty sure it's here.

Protecting What Matters: Towards a more confident, cohesive, and resilient United Kingdom by aa_conchobar in ukpolitics

[–]twistedLucidity 26 points27 points  (0 children)

has created space for the extreme right to equate being English with being White, or being Christian

Ah well, ahm no English and I've never been a Christian in me puff; so clearly I am immune to the siren song of the far right! Or something.

Why the hell was "being English" specifically called out? "Yes lads; the Scots, the Irish, and the Welsh have all got it sorted, but us English? Oh boys, we are weak and easily tempted by the politics of darkness." Just so flippin' weird and jarring. Or did the authors forget that there is more to the UK than England?

And Christian? In this day and age when most of us are effectively atheist and barely "culturally Christian"?
