Speaking of Starmer's lettuce run, who's your pick for the most likely (aka most disastrous) successor?

	Wes Streeting
	Yvette Cooper
	Bridget Philipson
	Luke Akehurst

Poll ends at Apr 20 at 2:51pm.

The legacy of Harry Potter fully fucking needs to be anybody who says a remotely positive thing about it, normal human beings just glare at you like you said Triumph of the Will is "good cinema if you just look past the politics" and don't invite you to things anymore.

So, anyone running a book (or a head of lettuce) on whether Starmer resigns before or after the local elections? I was expecting him to hang on until the results came in, but then Mandelsongate went and escalated…

my code has started (and ended) romantic relationships, changed how people view the world around them, and brought people bits of otherwise unachievable joy

it is embarrassing to tell on yourself that you can't do the same, but it is downright ignorant to claim it cannot or shouldn't be done at all

When I write code I am turning a creative idea into a mechanical embodiment of that idea. I am not creating beauty. Every line of code I write is a copy of another line of code I've read somewhere before, lightly modified to meet my needs. My code is not intended to evoke emotion. It does not change people think about the world. The idea→code pipeline in my head is not obviously distinguishable from the prompt->code process in an LLM

@bodil Apparently I had a rant about it exactly five years ago. https://einarwh.no/blog/2021/04/18/no-programming-as-other/

NO! Programming as other

Oh dear sweet Dog, are we really having the "code is/isn't art" discussion again on the internets today?

All I have to say on the matter is that you don't get to decide what qualifies as art and what doesn't, especially with your taste in music.

What if consciousness, a property that was accidentally left out of the entirety of scientific understanding, is actually something fundamental and not a magic thing that appears from nothing for no reason at a certain scale. That makes no fucking sense.

It is actually annoying to me when the general science community gets super excited and shocked when an animal uses some iteration of language or even "proving" that an animal is self aware. It's such an asshole human thing to be like "We assume that only we can do this because we won evolution"
