This is a really weird decision because not only will it annoy people, you don’t even get any theoretical benefits (assuming that there ever are any) until well after the next general election. A cursory online search indicates that it takes between 5 and 8 years for something like this to be built up, and it’ll probably be more like 8 because they don’t really have any reason to hurry.
Andy Burnham: we need to be unapologetically Labour and not the Tories
Also Andy Burnham: More fossil fuels. Just like the Tories. Yeahhh.
Does he even have a strategy or is he trying to piss people off even faster than Starmer did?
Presumably this means Ed Miliband is gone.
The original unreal engine not UE5 which has been replaced with UE6 now apparently. I don’t think they’ve ever updated the creation engine. One of the reasons that Starfield was so claustrophobically boxed in is because it can’t support very large maps because you can’t move the origin point around, a feature that is present in virtually all 3D game engines including the free open source ones. Hell even the original source engine would have been able to cope with that.
If it’s your job then you know the gas supplies aren’t limited because we aren’t extracting enough gas. The limited because they’ve been sold to other markets hence my original comment of more gas extraction will not necessarily equal more gas for the UK and therefore lower prices.
Additionally it would take 5 to 6 years minimum to build out a drilling operation so it’s hardly a solution for today or even 2029. Wouldn’t the more sensible option be to build out more renewables such as solar which can be stood up in a lot less time than half a decade?
I don’t install any social media on my work phone. It’s got teams on it and, LinkedIn (whenever I’m in especially dumb meetings I like to go on LinkedIn, I like the idea that they’re spying on the device and can see that I’m applying for other jobs).
And the most predictable and obvious one to ever be committed.
When the IPO first was announced I made the point that Elon Musk isn’t now a trillionaire because not one will buy the stock at that price. Overinflated IPOs aren’t really relevant to the stock market, they already knew the value of a company they don’t need to be told what it is, they’re just a marketing gimmick.
Well in defence to Starmer he basically faced a coup d’etat, it would have been more irresponsible of him to fight it than to have done what he’s done and stepped aside. Of course it would have been better if you’d been less useless to begin with but perhaps that’s beyond his personal capabilities.
They’re still limited by the laws of physics and geometry. Assuming perfect reflection and perfect alignment with the sun to the target destination you’re looking at something like 0.1 percent of the total brightness worth of energy being transmitted to the surface of the earth.
In other words, considerably dimmer than the moon. It’s not going to turn night to day, it’s not even going to turn at night to dusk, it will be the brightness of a crescent moon on an overcast night, assuming clear conditions. Covering an area of less than 3 km for a period of time of less than 20 minutes (increase the orbital altitude and you increase the amount of time that you can be over an area but you also decrease the brightness) I don’t think Mr Badger is really going to notice.
But as I said this is irrelevant because they know this which is why they’re not going to do it.
Ok thanks but 2023 was quite a while ago in the world of AI. It’s kind of weird to still be upset about this now.
I really don’t want this to come off as rude but you do not know what you’re talking about.
When they drill for oil and natural gas in the North sea it doesn’t go into some special “only for the UK” reserve, it’s private companies doing the drilling so they will sell on the global market. So more drilling of natural gas in the North sea will do diddly squat for the prices in the UK.
Well what happened here was;
Everyone wanted a solution to the problem.
Experts told the government what the solution to the problem was.
The government did something completely different than nobody liked.
Everyone complained.
The government scraps the entire thing.
Everyone still wants a solution to the problem.
There seems to be this inability from the government both Labour and Conservative to just do a thing for the purposes of resolving a particular issue. Instead they always seem to try and make it into this one size fits nothing solution that will fail to tackle multiple issues including the original issue.
It’s like this social media ban for under 16s. That’s a good policy and I support it, but they’re implementation of it is insanely stupid, will cost loads of money, won’t work, and will violate the privacy of a bunch of adults. Instead of doing what the experts told them to do which was to mandate a law that required operating systems to have parental controls.
The monitor in that image is clearly not switched on and they do have blinds which you can see are partially closed. So im not convince this isn’t just somebody trying to be funny.
Not saying this isn’t a legitimate lawsuit or anything and that there aren’t safety concerns here because there are, but articles like this seem to be implying that interactions with AI drive people insane. But really it should just be that insane people have their irrational beliefs amplified by AI. I think it’s important to make the distinction.
We are 10 years away minimum from robotics being a viable technology. We’ve got the early alpha prototypes right now but look at how long it took to get to where they are. I remember watching YouTube videos 15 years ago about the atlas robot and it still isn’t commercially available.
Which government? SK hynix is a South Korean manufacturer, along with Samsung. This is one area the Trump administration can’t get its fingers involved.
Anyway both companies have shit tons of money I don’t think they need bailing out
I wouldn’t risk it. The AI market is full of SpaceX like companies, massively overvalued despite literally never making a profit and having no coherent business plan beyond crossing their fingers and hoping they create AGI.
It takes 5 or 6 years minimum to step up a fab, the AI market is so unstable it could be gone by next week. If you want to cash in on this particular gold rush you need to already own the pickaxes.
Doing damage control to try and get the general public back on side when the AI bubble inevitably bursts.
Don’t worry it’s not going to happen. They’re just after investor money then they’ll vanish.
Even if they actually build this, a very small area of the planet is going to be imperceptibly brighter for 35 seconds.
I 100% believe that the reason that Kemi was being kept around is that all of the failure of the Tories can be lumped on her (which is somewhat unfair because she’s isn’t bright enough to be responsible for any of it) so when it’s getting close to the next general election, maybe two years out or so, their will suddenly be letters going in, and a vote of no confidence.
Only they are a bit screwed now though that Robert Jenrick has switch sides. If Farage goes down, and it looks like he’s going to, maybe he’ll switch back.
