@allenholub Rust, because it's so obsessively fussy the agent can't get away with slop.

@MartinSLewis The irony is the result of your latest poll, that a huge majority of people feel poorer than 5 years ago, is a major contributor to what's happening in France.

@moebio and your sunglasses?

@MakeVotesMatter Awesome, thank you!

@sharrond62 A double lock (2.5% or inflation) would do the same. Indeed a simple 'single lock' or CPI indexing would too.

The problem with including inflation *and* wage growth is one leads the other, so if it spikes (as now) you get a double dip across years.

@rorysutherland I'm coming to the conclusion that my sole agency in the future will be to copy 6 digit numbers from my phone to PC or other phone apps.

Or, on my phone and MacBook, be a rather clumsy and inefficient mechanism to wield a fingerprint.

@asifpatel ASDA and Sainsbury's ATMs refusing to handle either Lloyds or Halifax cards for last few hours.

@Garrett9fb7 @VaibhavSisinty They are safely testing it, obv.

It probably doesn't save someone who has been eaten by a shark either 🫤

Seriously, though, I can see these being used for MOB on larger yachts - just chuck it over the side, it will locate the casualty and beacon them giving you time to return.

@NoContextBrits @duolingo Using flags to indicate language is always and everywhere bad UX, but particularly on a language site!

@MartinSLewis 5. I don't buy drinks in single-use plastic bottles.

@YesCornwall I'm not sure number of councillors is the best metric for quality of democracy.

[Paul Clark @sandtreader]

Blimey.

The fact that *everything* is procedural is very interesting.

Claude Opus 5 one-shotted this game.

EVERYTHING you see in this demo is custom code... not a single external asset was used.

AI games are going to be amazing.
