  • British voters want to be part of EU more than French and Italians, poll reveals

    Jump

  • I think there's a lot of assumptions going into current polling. Labour is disenfranchising a lot of people, but a large number are becoming true "don't knows" and taking themselves out of polling calculations.

    These are the the left of the party who are politically homeless. The greens are mopping up some of them, but Polanski is a divisive character. Some love him, and some find him superficial. Some might land in the Lib Dems as their social policies are left of labour, but there's a lot that would never even consider that. Corbyn was trying to set up a party for them, but that's never going anywhere.

    One thing is for sure, this block is not voting for Farage. He's diametrically opposite to what these people believe in.

  • If you could add one book to the required reading curriculum for people under 18, what would it be?

  • So how do you study literature without having the class all read the same book? Can't really have a discussion on the themes of a work if the class isn't all reading the same thing.

  • UK university degree no longer ‘passport to social mobility’, says King’s vice-chancellor

  • One of the biggest examples of equality Vs equity there is, and how the Blair government picked the wrong one. A university education was a dividing line in society they said. It was something only available to a select few. Everyone should benefit from a university education.

    Thing is, apart from Oxbridge, the dividing line was never about race, sex or class. It was about academic ability. If you had the grades, you could come from anywhere (Equality). Now, there was a problem with high schools and sixth-form colleges not being as good in certain areas, but that wasn't a problem with the universities. Many even tried to take such factors into account during admissions. If they'd solved the school education issue instead it would have been a fair system (again, apart from Oxbridge).

    ...but Blair felt that everyone should go to university. So they pushed up the intake numbers, converted all the polytechnics into universities (blowing away further education for less academic people) and turned the now unsustainable grant into loans.

    End result: 20 years down the road and the bachelors degree is now largely worthless in hiring circles because everybody has one, and the masters degree is going the same way.

    Qualifications are meant to give prospective employers information about people's strengths. Now everyone appears the same on paper (Yay... Equity!) and the qualifications have lost their reason to exist.

  • Stop calling USAians "Americans" - it only solidifies their belief that they own 2 continents

    One painted a sci-fi utopia. The other showed us ourselves.

  • Journalists that interview LLMs need a slap. It's not an admission of wrong-doing if the LLM is the source.

  • Bend it back further. When it gets to 180 degrees, it latches into place and doesn't spring back.

  • How might political bias affect the future of AI-generated content?

    Jump

  • The political bias of AI will be set by those tuning the models. Now mix in a bunch of voters asking LLMs who they should vote for, because people will outsource their thinking any chance they get. The result is model owners being able to sway elections with very little effort.

  • Manatees aren't the only ones.

  • I can't fault that logic. I just think that the general public get guilt-tripped a lot of the time for things which are really the fault of corporations, and they continue to escape responsibility.

  • ‘We’ve Metastasized Russia’s Military,’ Say Ukrainian Partisans

    Jump

  • I was just meaning it's not a common turn of phrase in English and possibly the author isn't a native English speaker, so they're trying to make a Ukrainian idiom fit the headline when it doesn't.

  • Stay under the speed limit, guys. It's not worth it.

  • There's a difference between driving fast and being ready to move when an opportunity appears. It mainly comes down to watching traffic far enough down the road so you anticipate where the gap will be. That then allows you to smoothly merge into it.

  • So that paints the other countries in a better light. Here in the UK it'll just be down to individuals choosing not to buy. It's still on the shelves.
