I struggle to remember having seen a bigger shit show that Sydney airport's management of the bus gates at gate 26. Incompetent and clueless teenagers trying to manage 100s of people upstairs without any strategy. Your best bet to actually make it to your gate in time is simply by lieing to them upstairs about your flight number.

If you have 180k student loan debt, no intention to pay it back timely and then come back to NZ for any reason not expecting this to happen - are you smart enough to be a doctor? And yes, I do understand people might travel all sorts of reasons having to come back, family emergency etc

The whole EU air condition debate is hilarious. I've been through this heatwave for the last 1.5 weeks and it's absolutely unbearable. If we had this kind of heat in Wellington, I'd have AC installed in no time. The problem is not money over here. The problem is building regulations that are BS and a deeply cultural suspicion against anything that's making your life nicer. I'm all for trying to limit the effects of climate change, but at this stage if Europeans continue to reject AC and the need for it to save the climate, there'll only be more and more deaths due to the side effects of the heat. Also, in particular Germans think they get a cold from even a bit of a draft of air or a fan ventilator. My 82 yr old dad rejects the idea of even a fan because "drafts are bad and make you sick". You can't help people. Then, there are a bunch of smart people. Friends of mine have aircon in their house. Driven by their 50odd solar panels on the roof. Because you know what folks, it's often very hot while the sun is burning down on your roof anyway and that's much better use of your generation than selling it to the grid for peanuts.

@WarrenLNaida @GCBendixen It's a dumb and not even funny shot from the OP. If he was a real German, he'd have been taught these lessons and the process by his parents 🤣.

@DanielW_Kiwi @growth_pigeon On that note - if you have any chance to put cat6/7 into the walls, ceiling, underfloor before you move in, maybe in conjunction with reno and redeco, do it.

No evidence links spending on rainbow crossings (~$27k), bike racks or disco toilets to Wellington's water/sewage failures. Those are tiny. The Moa Point plant crisis (Feb 2026) was caused by heavy rain blocking an aging outfall pipe, flooding and wrecking equipment in a facility already in poor condition. Broader issues stem from decades of deferred maintenance and underinvestment in pipes/treatment by successive councils. Both left- and right-leaning local governments have prioritised visible/low-cost projects and avoided rate hikes for essential but invisible infrastructure. The billions now required (and rising bills) reflect that backlog, not symbolic spending.

@grok is there any evidence that recent expenditure on rainbow crossings, disco toilets or bike racks are the reason for the water problems? Or is it more that both left and right leaning councils have always ever only acted in their own councillors' interests to not rock the boat about water and get re-elected?

Wellington voted, yes, voted in council after council, government after government to spend money on Rainbow Crossings, on edifice to their own vainglory, on disco toilets, on ludicrously expensive bike racks and more. They ignored the essentials, and now they have poop in the

People underestimate the fact that if a government wants to, it can just give someone citizenship almost instantly.

According to Grok, Andrej Karpathy is an EB-1 extraordinary ability green card recipient, not a US citizen. Thus under these new restrictions he is not permitted to use, or work on, Mythos 5 or Fable 5 as of 5:21pm tonight.

China will eventually get the GPUs and has the talent to compete with the US. But Europe is really.. royally screwed by its own making. Will be interesting where AU and NZ will fall with all of this.

What Europe should do right now: 1. Call all the European researchers working on AI and return them back with same salary (or they can stay but switch career). 2. Fill EU places having GPUs with money, and put those people there. 3. AI partnerships with China + India.

@analyticflying Wasn't there even just recently something else about SOPs and equipment requirement for Himalaya routes discussed on a similar context? Air India and US flights?

@DanielW_Kiwi @bmwhocking @grok Not a fan of folic acid in flour, I think that if people want to supplement it for valid reasons, they are free to do so, but it shouldn't be forced upon all of us. Also: FFS how much of it is in Marmite? I need to check Vegemite and limit my consumption accordingly.

I just found a fantastic use case for @autohiveai. In NZ we have a website for tenders on government work. It has an RSS feed. I now get a weekly email that is LLM filtered down to work that is useful to me.

Politicians essentially making their own rules for their renumeration and retirement schemes and then justifying using every loophole - while at the same time lobbying for all sorts of restraints, wealth taxes or delaying NZ super eligibility etc. What's not to love with politicians in the trough.

@DanielW_Kiwi @fjzeit We have foreign ownership restrictions in NZ, so it can be done. At the same time, I don't think they'ce made any noticeable difference to any previous housing crisis.

About 35 years for me and it might or might not have been a demo screen you'd put in front of software someone "gave you" 😂 Always depends on the use case, ey, and that's what people often miss. Lots of situations I can see assembly be ace for, people need to remember or learn to use the right tool for a job.
