@Telegraph This is awful, but its even worse thinking about the tens of thousands killed by LTTE suicide bombings. Hope justice is served for all of it.

@Standup_global @NSWHealth this is how people sounds like when they can't face the competition, blame everyone else.

"Created in 2012, the development officers’ service is now 45,000 strong. For context, MAS, Sri Lanka’s largest private employer, has a labour force of around 90,000.

This politically driven transformation of the public service results in incapable and unfit public servants. In 2016, almost half the public service couldn’t use a computer.

To make matters worse, the technical branches of the civil service, which require technical qualifications and entry by exam, are grossly understaffed. For example, the Scientific Service is the most understaffed — over 30% of its cadre isn’t filled."

@maarcoofdezz Tbh, These type of websites are fucking annoying to visit, used to be cool when there was one or two of them, but now please stop

extremely unprofessional. if kimi wants to make it as a frontier lab, they need to act like one: perhaps silently route people to worse models, and maybe write a blog post about the collapse of humanity

In the AI space right now:

The most democratic country is moving like a communist regime.

And the most communist country is acting like a democracy.

.@airserbia what a pathetic airline. No one in transfer desk for like 30 minutes and that made me miss the connecting flight Skopje to Pula via Belgrade! And the transfer desk people in Belgrade are just giving attitude!

Most European citizens will likely never have heard of VFS Global. But across much of Africa, Asia + the Middle East, the visa giant has become notorious

Our investigation finds VFS has made huge profits by exploiting people with 'weak' passports https://t.co/USfKQt29a3

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Loops are still too manual. It's actually both more efficient and more token effective to let someone else manage the agents, produce the code, pay for the tokens, as well as run the company, while you do something entirely different professionally

Yesterday, after a visit to my barber on a quiet Sunday evening , I was stopped by the Traffic Police for inadvertently crossing a traffic signal a little too late. The violation was mine, and I readily accepted it.

What impressed me, however, was not the fine, but the professionalism with which the entire situation was handled.

The officer from Cinnamon Gardens was courteous, respectful, and efficient. He politely asked whether I had a banking app on my phone, then patiently guided me through the GovPay system, enabling me to pay the fine instantly on the spot. Once payment was confirmed, my licence was promptly returned. The whole process took only a few minutes — no unnecessary delay, no frustration. Just professionalism, courtesy, and technology working as it should.

As I reflected on the experience, I could not help but recall the early discussions we had with the Police and other stakeholders during my tenure as Minister of Justice on using technology to improve public services. Seeing those initiatives now delivering real benefits to citizens is quietly satisfying. It is a reminder that every worthwhile reform takes time, and that no sincere effort to improve public service is ever wasted.

We often focus on what is wrong in public administration. It is equally important to acknowledge what is working well. This was a simple but powerful example of how technology can improve governance, and how a public officer performing his duty with competence, integrity, and respect can strengthen public trust.

My compliments to the Sri Lanka Police, the GovPay initiative, and particularly the officer from Cinnamon Gardens who handled the matter with exemplary professionalism.

Technology can modernise systems. Professional public servants can transform public confidence. Together, they make government work better for everyone.

Well done. 👏🇱🇰

@ErikSolheim Growing up in Sri Lanka during the war, like most people I knew blamed Norway for trying to break up the country. Seeing even LTTE supporters now criticise them makes me realise, Norway actually made a sincere effort. The LTTE were just too overconfident to take the deal.
