Absolutely love the idea of Australia safely storing nuclear waste for centuries when we can’t successfully run a soft plastic recycling system for five years.

And guess where all the old tech will be sold?

@StenoKeyboards Wait, really? Does this work with embedded steno?

It's really wonderful how much Dominic Perrottet cares about forgiveness.

It's a shame that it seemingly only extends to forgiving him of dressing up as a Nazi, whereas jailing a climate protester was "pleasing to see". Nice one champ

But even the best range hoods only work if people you use them.

And most people don't do that.

One study found that 28% of people use their range hood while cooking. Another found that 34% use them.

If you think you've heard / seen this story before, you're wrong.

This is a stunning revelation that not only did Exxon "know" - they knew with stunning accuracy and scientific skill. They're weren't told the impacts: they confirmed it themselves, at great cost.

AND STILL LIED

Today I had a terrible experience writing an essay using normal typing. My thoughts were going 200 wpm but my poor little fingers could only go like 100 wpm. I had to physically wait for my fingers to catch up before I can start to think again.

The gas industry in the US is absolutely going to ramp up a massive, well-funded disinformation campaign modelled on both the smoking and climate denial campaigns of the past, to introduce doubt about the obvious health impacts of burning methane in your home to cook food

@StenoKeyboards @jthlim I just tried this out today and I'm getting issues uploading my hex file to the RPI-PR2 volume that mounted on OSX. It's saying that it's a read-only filesystem. Attempting to dig into this issue more. Also attempting to upgrade from OSX 12.6.1 to 13.1.

It took humanity 80 years but we have finally invented computer security that can be bypassed with polite but firm insistence

Google is done.

OMG WTF

The Victorian Greens are on track for our best ever result at a state election.

More people voted for the Greens than ever before.

Victorians voted for climate action, no new coal & gas, affordable housing, and bringing integrity back to politics.

Greens won’t let you down.

This is a huge deal — for the first time, an AI is able to consistently manipulate humans to act against their own interest, and further the AI’s goals, using only natural language.

And all along, humans don’t even know they’re dealing with an AI.

Interesting graph from Philip Lowe's speech last night

It is wild how a massively delayed nuclear plant will go like 327% over budget and generate tons of waste so toxic it has been be specially stored for 10,000 years yet there is no permanent storage site and nuclear fans will be like "check out this affordable clean electricity"

Remember when Google told us they were going to bring all the good things from Inbox into gmail and then didn't

Software Engineers don't realize that 95% of production outages come from code changes.

Twitter has been on a code freeze for almost 3 weeks now which explains how it has stayed up and running with only skeleton crew.
