To all those editors putting the Tangerine Tyrant on their covers as Man of the Year... here's the real Person/Woman of the year....
Gisele Pelicot has been fearless & in forcing the trial of her attackers to be public has struck a blow for women, dragging abuse (in the family and beyond) out of the shadows.
This is who we should salute at year end not the American Monarch!

This weekend, looking at the troubles confronting Rachel Reeves, the FT explores indicators that growth has stalled & a recession looks likely, but doesn't once mention this has been the express intent of BoE/MPC policy for the last two years.
Its a conspiracy of silence that is really annoying me (this article is not the first to exclude the BoE/MPC' policy actions in this regard, nor is the FT the only offender).
A recession is what the sado-monterists have been working towards
Gas fire free to collect from #Cambridge. Our gas fitter says this is a good piece of kit, "they don't make them like that any more".
It worked last time we used it, but we've remodelled the room such that there is no space for a gas fire any more.
Not for DIY installation, get a real gas fitter to do it.

I'm not only writing Loops, but also building a team to help maintain it, and reaching out to other projects for collaboration.
My plan is to build a solid foundation for @loops and delegate management to a team of trusted contributors so I can focus on other endeavors.
I may still be the only dev, but the team leaders will better handle my priorities and tasks by interfacing with the community and other team leaders.
Let's make Loops a community driven project, we don't need no BDFL!
Israel's military said Saturday it had failed to intercept a "projectile" launched from Yemen that landed in Tel Aviv, with the national medical service saying 16 people were lightly wounded.
In a statement, the Houthis said they had "targeted a military target of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of" Tel Aviv using a ballistic missile.
The Yemeni group has repeatedly launched missile attacks against Israel since the war in Gaza began.
perhaps israel realising that they are not untouchable will make them less keen to commit war-crimes in every neighbouring country.

WIRED article forecasting the generative AI bubble will burst in 2025. This is more optimistic than my own expectations, but if WIRED are printing it, it's the direction sentiment in Silicon Valley is running in.
(Hint: there's gold in AI, but it's in *analytical* AI, aka big data, not stochastic parrot bullshit.)

@Charlie Stross @Profane tmesis a year ago everyone on Internet forums was all, “let’s ask ChatGPT!”
And now when someone posts a GPT response, the answers are always, “why did you post this? That thing lies”
Gives me hope.
@ptmesis It's so very obviously a market bubble. Generative AI makes for amusing toys but it's fundamentally not conscious or aware in any way—so its answers veer towards "plausible bullshit" rather than "meaningtful".
Which is why spicy autocomplete gets you results like this screencap ...
Meanwhile using non-generative tools for spotting cancer in breast scans seems great, but you can't milk gullible non-techie investors of billions that way.

Video of the failed attempt to intercept the Houthi missile last night over Tel Aviv:
At the beginning of the video - two interceptors go out to the missile, fail to intercept it and apparently destroy themselves in the air, immediately afterwards - the missile strikes Tel Aviv.
