@OldAintDead I bought it on iTunes. After I watched it as a rental IIRC. Anyway, I liked it. Can’t recall if the ending annoyed me. I just checked on IMDb and I rated it 10/10. 😊

The Govester isn’t standing at the election.

Good riddance!

Despite living in Ireland for the best part of twenty years, I still find election posters, appearing like a rash for about five weeks, attached to every piece of street furniture, bewildering. Like some continual game of "Snog, Marry, Avoid"*.

@DMLeathley What election is it in Ireland? European Parliament?

@DMLeathley You can vote in the UK General Election now. The Conservatives changed the rules to try to get the expat vote.

@Schnuckster Yes. The Northern Cricket Union (NCU) are part of Cricket Ireland. The governing body that was formed in 1927.

@ianbetteridge Could I ask what plugin or other method you use to send your Wordpress based email newsletter?

I want to add the functionality to my 3rd-party hosted Wordpress site.

As far as I know, there is no „AI“. There are LLMs and ML. Use shit data, get shit data. Use biased/bad algorithms, get biased/shit results.

@TCMuffin @RalphBassfeld Another plus in the Anthropic column.

Anthropic have the best vibe and smell amongst all the LLM providers. I hope they don’t change trying to match the marketing buzz Open AI and Microsoft are generating.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

Station Eleven is a fantastic book. https://beige.party/@purplepadma/112490800507550428

@coperob @purplepadma There’s a scene in the last episode where two main characters part at a fork on a path in the forest, that makes me want to cry just thinking about it, never mind watching it.

I read some comments on the BBC site. With time and stiff walks in the country, I'll probably recover.

Never read comments on the internet.

Marking Time in Political Quciksand

We're stuck in political quicksand and there's nothing to do but wait it out. But what's the "it?”

@WarnerCrocker Good article.

@WarnerCrocker It was added to my new What I've Been Reading page. An idea I stole from Molly White!

@purplepadma @oldmankris Yes. Fabulous book. The TV adaptation is worth watching too.

Just seen 12 runs scored of a single ball. Never seen that before.

Bowler messed up a delivery and the ball bounced twice. That’s a no ball: 2 runs and a free hit.

The batter is still allowed to hit the no ball. He hit it for 4. Total of 6.

A no ball must be bowled again. And it’s a free hit which means the batter can’t be out directly from that ball (they can be run out). Anyway, the batter hit the free hit for 6.

So a total of 12 runs from one ball!

@smurthys @jtwcornell91 It’s been 2 in competitions I’ve been watching on YouTube recently. It’s down to the playing conditions of each competition it seems. Base rule is 1.
