Sorry for the disturbance in the force, the mystic code gods are working out how to unfuck the blog 😀
That’ll teach me to press the “update” button

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Mine did something similar a couple of days ago, only I didn’t press anything, this was entirely done by itself.
Filmed at the Crystal Palace racetrack/sports complex at the top of Sydenham Hill. You can see part of the antenna tower in the background. Long ago, in the days of gas light and horse-drawn cabs, YHS taught people to ride motorcycles on that very track. How time flize.

P for “Plenty”…
Classic explosives formulae in the US Army use “P” for “Pounds of Explosives (TNT), which are usually calculated for TNT and converted to whatever other explosive is being utilized.
Soooo… P=Plenty.
Which usually translates into a real-world “Oh, sh*t…” moment when you’re shattering windows two counties away, and the Post Commander is getting phone calls at two in the morning from irate mayors and so forth… Ask me how I know.
Fun quiz question: who’s the guy on the right?
@Patrick, obviously it is Michael Caine. Do you mean the guy on the left? No idea. Also, no idea what the movie is, but it looks like a good one.
Ah! Right and left! Why do they have to be so similar?
The movie is the Italian Job.
The Italian Job. Great flick.
Oh, funny, I just watched the newer one with my kids. Mainly because Charlize Theron was in it…
Ah! Right and left! Why do they have to be so similar?
Is that a political statement advocating for libertarianism 😀
Can’t imagine a Bitcoin heist ending like this.
Michael Standing is standing on the left. Maurice Micklewhite is Standing on the right.

Apologies for hijacking this thread, but an off-topic comment would probably do less harm here than elsewhere.
Via Instapundit, an article about the difference between AI and ML (Machine Learning) that turns out to be just empty verbiage (including contradictions and circular definitions) and will not increase anybody’s understanding.
Probably written by a LLM such as ChatGPT… or is it? Nowadays, humans are just as good as LLMs at spouting empty verbiage.
