- Certainly banned enough that you can't listen to ATC playback anywhere online. I think in practice you can use an air band radio at home (not sure how anyone would know if you were anyway).
- High Court notice from the mentioned court case: https://pretty.direct/consentorder.pdf
> The Defendants accept that they have never had any evidence to support the allegations apart from the two unverified claims published in coordination with the Open Letter. They were never in a position to make any informed judgement on the truth of the allegations, and did not seek clarification on any of the allegations from the Claimant.
He won £5,000 plus costs.
[edit - the defendants here appear to be signatories of the open letter]
- It's interesting looking at the messages of recent commits of people removing their names:
- Upon reflection, I don't think this letter was the right approach for this situation. Although I cannot retract my initial decision to sign it, I would appreciate having my signature removed from the document.
- We had good intentions and reasons for concern, but there was no due process, and the consequences of that can be awful. Please accept my withdrawal.
- The goal of providing safe spaces is laudable and necessary, but I expected to see further process outcomes from this effort. Perhaps some sort of SIP or scalarum iustitiae processus.
- I no longer believe the way this letter was the right way of dealing with the situation. And while I cannot undo signing it, I would like to request removing my signature.
- Given its role in energy transfer, does this suggest creatine might be a good supplement for improving sleep?
- Also the working on PRs workflow seems broken - the local branch doesn't have the changes that are on the PR so I can't pick it up and continue working on it.
Agreed that worktrees seem clearly better.
- > Fake meat isn't really a product for vegetarians/vegans
This is just flat-out wrong.
- Why do you fucking think? Because it's tasty. You can disagree with the ethics of how we make animals suffer because they taste nice and still think they taste nice.
- WhatsApp has a somewhat similar feature - pull up to start a group voice chat. You can ping others to let them know you're around.
- WhatsApp has this now - https://faq.whatsapp.com/1973730693032338
- You imply that, like a stopped clock, LLMs are only right occasionally and randomly. Which is just nonsense.
- Also very very good is Guesstimate - https://www.getguesstimate.com/.
- I had a very similar experience during a lab internship I took during my biochemistry undergrad degree.
First part of a project was running PCR on a particular plasmid that we were going to use to transfer a gene into Drosophila. But for some reason the PCR didn't work, and I spent almost all of my time trying to get the damn thing to run.
Everyone naturally assumed I was just doing something wrong, being an undergrad with little lab experience. After about ten weeks, it turned out that the lab tech had written up the protocol wrong and I was using the wrong primers. No wonder it didn't work.
Was one of the experiences that made me realise that working in a lab really wasn't for me...
- Yup. From Sam Bowman's Foundations[0]:
> [The TCPA] moved Britain from a system where almost any development was permitted anywhere, to one where development was nearly always prohibited. Since [it] was introduced in 1947, private housebuilding has never reached Victorian levels, let alone the record progress achieved just before the Second World War.
> Today, local authorities still have robust powers to reject new developments, and little incentive to accept them. Historically, local governments encouraged development because their tax bases grew in line with the extra value created, but this incentive has been eroded by successive reforms that have centralised and capped local governments’ tax-raising powers.

- I read it. I'm so sorry for what you went through, and that times are hard. Sending hugs your way.
Late 40s - you have so much of your life ahead of you! Are you medicated (with e.g. actual antidepressants)? Please explore that avenue as thoroughly as you can before doing anything drastic.
- That stuff looks fucking terrifying. Incredibly potent and super lipophilic so long-acting...
I'm building Flock, a social goal tracking and intentions app. Styled a little around Complice/Intend, but with more of a focus on working in public with your friends and colleagues - see what they're working on, track your intentions against specific goals.
Building out reviews now - so you can systematically review your progress against your goals to stay on track. Give it a try, and add me as a friend! https://www.flockwith.me/u/henryaj
