  • SkyNews | The number of people on NHS waiting lists in England has fallen for the fourth month in a row, new figures show.

  • Grins. Just looked. Screw up happen i make more then my share :) PS sorry for any typos im visually impaired, after a while it just gets annoying to hunt for them.

    Yeah, my calling wait list's pointless comment was more about having an effective alternative to measure NHS effectiveness. So we technically agree here.

    My caution about using customer satisfaction. Is customers are less qualified than anyone to do so. In general they have 0 understanding of the workload involved and needs to triage the needs of a population. Heck, even if we just look at an ER environment. Where triage is litrally about life and death. Most patients are unable to place their own priorities appropriatly to those they see. Let alone based on medical knowledge, they cannot or should not see due to privacy or lack of medical understanding.

    That same triage needs to happen when it comes to the effect of medical issues on quality of life.

    If we accept more money is not going to happen ( Once again ill say it def needs to. But unlimited resources are never going to happen, no matter what % of our GDP we spend ). There will always be a need to prioritise some types of care over others. And the people receiving that care are the least qualified to make that decision.

    Satisfaction is important. But, as this is not a retail or restaurant environment. The opinions of the recipiant of care are much less important data wise when it comes to how wer need to allocate the resources we have.

  • UK: Rooftop solar could reduce energy bill for the country's poorest families by almost a quarter, study says

  • Their is a movement wanting solar on all viable new builds.

    Goven how many are sold to landlords. I assume that is in part the goal of articles like this.

  • and now can’t get her child into the UK

    While more egregious may be common. Separation of family is a clear violation of our EHCR commitments. And refusing entry to parent unless they dump dependent children (let alone babies) is pretty unacceptable attack on refugees. No matter the birth location of that baby.

    Our human rights commitments in no way approve locking refugees/asylum cases within our borders. Or rights to change their status based on reproductive choices.

  • Honest question.

    Yep any target based system leads to people manipulating them to pass. It is just a common human response to forced competition.

    But calling wait lists pointless is also pointless. Without some better way to ensure patients are getting the service they need as effectively as possible.

    So other then spending lots more money. (I agree thats needed but in itself dose not provide metrics of a service)

    What would you propose as a method for measuring NHS effectivness.

  • UK economy grows by 0.1% in unexpected boost for Rachel Reeves

    Jump

  • Yep. And given some expectations. That is good news.

    Honestly the government has not implemented anything that will as of yet effect growth. These things take time.

    But some interpretations of the recent budget caused our nations interest rates to go up. Meaning any drop in gdp would lead to deficiency in payments. IE a need to reduce spending or raise income to prevent even higher rates.

    Evidence that the economy is stable. Should mean the cost of UK borrowing stops increasing for a while. Allowing the government plans to continue.

  • AMD vs Nvidia

    Jump

  • Blender supports cuda for much of its gpu work. It will work with amd. And there are projects allowing gpu rendering via amd. But they are (and have been for a while) a long way behind the cuda stuff.

    For major rendering projects nvidia is still the fastest set up to use.

  • AMD vs Nvidia

  • AMD. Unless you need blender.

  • Lol just ordered an air fryer / dehumidifier for this exact reason. Thanks for confirming it works.

    As the one I ordered can run at <80c the recommended dehumidifier temp for asa. That is exactly what i plan to try it on.

  • Artificial merely implies manmade, as opposed to naturally developed IMO.

    Yeah but we do not use it for that anywhere else. Everywhere else we use artificial it is referring to something that dose not contain the original product. And implies something lesser.

    When talking about intelligence we use artificial in a unique way to describe something digital or created. And honestly. You better hope emotion is never a part of that creation.

    As for you definition of its how humans think. Sorry but you do not know that. It is the very hypothesis I was claiming you need to find a way to test.

    As I say we have lots of ideas / hypotheses on human and animal thought. Bot absolutely nothing that would move such into the relms of a theory. As of yet. We are not even sure how to test most of those hypothesis. All we do is measure neurons electrical and chemical transfer. We are a very very long way from tieing that to any process of original thought or generation of ideas.

    As I say. Id love it if you were proven correct. But ATM we don't even know how to proove you or anyone else wrong on this subject.

  • Have fun.

    The issue is your interpretation is at best an hypothsis. Not a fact. And the only way to prove your hypothsis is to simulate the thought you wish to create.

    Others have not managed it yet. But you may be the first. Personally i am not sold on the idea. Bur would love to see you prove me wrong.

    That is after all the point of science.

    But linguistics wise.

    How is that intelegence artificial?

  • I think you underestimate the hate.

    For the organisations that want to deny the ideals suggested. Using software under such a licence would lose them support. So when developers select such a licence. The software itself gets recognised as such. Meaning any shitty organisation using it gets labeled unacceptable to their very user base.

    So requiring the acceptance of these facts would have the same effect as anything else.

  • I think such a licence would need very careful wording. Wording that concentrates on the entity or organisation using rather then jurisdiction.

    GPL claims free as in speech not beer. Whereas this would be removing that very concept. By suggesting use for some ideas is not allowed.

    I can def see the advantage. Especially for people developing social software. But trying to form a licence like that. While not running fowl of existing GPL restrictions. Would take some seriose legal understanding. As making gpled current libraries incompatible. Could totally remove existing work to expand upon. Removing most developers desire to place the effort needed for the new software.

    Would be interesting to watch the project form though. Unfortunately it would be very much like watching a dangerous stunt. Facinating as much for the risk of failure as that of hoping for success.

  • Ssh x11 forwarding has been a popular system for decades. (Id love to know if wayland options exist yet)

    But as other have suggested you need x11 on both systems. It is very inbuilt into the way x11 was originally designed. (From back when we had huge shared servers and dumbish xterm workstations. This means it was designed to do much of the work on the server end with the display being the lower cost less able system.

    It will work on a pie. But not with the lite os system as designed.

  • However, stopping oil immediately before alternatives are in place would be a humanitarian disaster

    I agree. But many don't. Its def up for debate.

    But that is in no way justification for new dilling. All drilling new fields dose is give excuses to delay those alternatives. We are not really waiting for new tech to solve this problem. The tech we have today is able to do it. What we need it the fiscal and societal motivation to move away from oil. More oil will just motivate those currently making money from it to slow down that investment more.

    We need to invest in major inferstructure uprated to our electrical grid. Copy ideas like Norway new overhead power for trucking. (Think electric trams but using roads and semi trucks. Then using battery for last mile transport etc. While its only a trial being built atm. It is the type of thinking we need. And better electrical grids are the first steps.

    Unfortunately giving current oil interests longer is not in anyway the solution. As a society we need to accept the use is going to stop. So pull our freaking socks up and get on with it. We don't need to wait for new tech. We need to implement the best of the current tech and stop finding excuses.
