When Britain adopted the Gregorian calendar, 'Old Lady Day' was kept on April 6 (that's why it's the start of the tax year). There's a joke about this in LOTR: after Aragorn's calendar reform the Hobbits celebrate that day, but they can't remember why... youtube.com/watch?v=EDqeq_…

This sketch makes my laugh like a drain but because of a characteristic as opposed to a punchline. That's what makes it so clever, I suppose. We quote it ad nauseum in our house. All together now: What, forty, forty five years??

The biggest failures of most leaders of the left (and I am politically leftwing) are a fatal inability to listen to critics, and be open to recognise and learn from its own errors of judgement

I am loving the way everyone thinks drafting tax law to make it better targeted is easy. Sit down and try writing the definitions and then work out how you would get round them. 🤔Tax is a blunt tool for policy. There are often better ones.

Just peer-reviewed a forensic analysis in a case. The suspect mailed a package with a hidden Apple AirTag in it to a victim's old home address. The package was forwarded to her new (and formerly safe) address.... Might be good to warn DV victims of unexpected mail.

alternatively, if "no tax rises" is an unadvertised part of the fiscal framework, why not talk about that too? public sector needs and GDP are unpredictable, why are we treating the factor which is completely under control of the chancellor as if it were the only fixed point?

My thought for Today : No one has a monopoly of virtue, vice, or victimhood, Noone’s rights, or claims thereof, automatically supersede those of others. Stop thinking in cliches

The Transformer model is one of the most important contributions to modern AI. It powers Bard and is the "T" in ChatGPT. The 2017 Google paper, “Attention Is All You Need” is well written, but doesn't really explain how it works. So, here’s my "Transformers in a Nutshell”...

Sen. John Glen raised the spectre of GPS attacks back in 1998 in a question to @spacerog during the @L0phtHeavyInd Senate testimony. The vulnerabilities aren't new, just the attacks. It's the story of cybersecurity. vice.com/en/article/m7b…
