In hindsight it was quite prescient to be installing renewables wasn't it.

It might have been better to lump some of those costs on gas rather than electricity. Polluter pays and all that.

> Part of the reason bills are high is because they subsidise the installation of renewable generation.

Yeah citation definitely needed. UK electricity prices are high because we are highly dependent on imported gas.

Sounds like that was a good idea, then? Not sure why you perceive this as some sort of gotcha or an axe to grind.

Yes, building infrastructure costs money. Where's the problem?

Yes. Obviously it does.

Is it obvious? Do you have the figures? One month of £1bn savings vs what cost over the last 20 years?

I support the roll out of renewables. I worked for a renewable energy company in the UK.

I just think a lot of consumers (industry and residential) have had to pay a very high price to get to the current situation. And lots of foreign private and other institutional (the Crown) organisations have benefitted most from this fast but expensive transition.

Thanks - I wish it could be drilled into by category, i.e. what are the stats for categories of import (filter out sports, crypto, etc). My worry is the average could appear rosier if the share of trivial events are high.

I switched to use LLMs exclusively since around March last year and I haven’t wrote a line of code directly since then.

I have followed the usual autocomplete > VS Code sidebar copilot > Cursor > Claude Code > some orchestrator of multiple Codex/Claude Codes.

I haven’t experienced the flow state once in this new world of LLMs. To be honest it’s been so long that I can’t even remember what it felt like.

All of the ads are gone from the stream?!

As a viewer I don’t think this is in my interest as I think they will get a lot less prestige guests now. They have interviewed some huge names recently.

This web app has very little design-wise in common with the iOS app. It doesn’t even serve the same use case.

They’ve hurt their brand here really, which is a high quality native app experience that makes sense of a lot of granular data from different sources.

GitHub going down during office hours in a large enterprise has knock on effects for hours as well. Especially if you are in a monorepo.

Can you explain? It seems like a pretty standard British news/newspaper headline to me.

If that’s how this works out then perhaps Accenture will be okay after all.

It feels like people do this to Canada to get in to the USA as well.

Ireland->UK seems to be increasing as well because of the Common Travel Area.

I think a lot of historical agreements of this nature will not hold up in the era of mass international migration. The CTA is obviously a complex example.

Yeah, it's like the really high-energy way it's written or something? Can't quite put my finger on it.
