To be clear: I’m not suggesting some elections should be thrown, to allow ONP to win some seats or form government. Of course, every election needs to be fought.

Its more like, the silver lining is that populist governments can’t govern, and in Australia an ONO state government would likely prevent an ONP federal government.

IDK if I’d call it “analysis”, but I’ll see if I can find the ep. It was recent but there’s a lot of episodes and this wasn’t the main subject.

This was some commentary on ABC’s politics now podcast: the federal labor party is going to be challenged by ONP, but if ONP wins some state govt elections it will take the heat out of their surge.

The census matters because it provides data that governments, businesses, and communities use to fund public services, plan infrastructure, and ensure fair political representation.

I just don’t believe this is true, it’s the PR story delivered by the census team to motivate people to fill it out, but it just doesn’t withstand a moment’s critical thought.

Governments aren’t building hospitals and schools on the basis of what the census data says, they measure demand at existing facilities.

There is no government decision which is not better informed by other means.

Firstly, if this were true, it’s not an appropriate reason to be collecting names.

Secondly, it’s absolutely not true.

In the before times in a “census” you might have shown up and gotten counted and given your name.

Now there’s just no way ABS is publishing your address

Also… The best way to be rid of ONP is for them to win a couple of elections so everyone can watch their candidates implode.

ONP has an early lead

Its a census. They want to gather as much data as they can. The data would be incomplete without it.

That said, I’m a vocal objector to the census generally. It just shouldn’t be a thing any more. They certainly shouldn’t be collecting identifying information.

Ah yes, the hallmark of sophisticated management: everyone has to express an appropriate level of support for all decisions, especially bad ones.

Sorry mate MAGA has sealed the date of the US. You’re going to take the fall and live in a shit hole country for many decades.

Really? he’s delivering a masterclass on how a middle power can wipe the floor with Trump

Americans, now would be the time to spring into action.

Americananas

Dude its a joke.

Its funny because it references the mysterious origin of the meat.

Millennials when gen y avoid social media

God often works with imperfect vessels!

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a link to something on tik tok. Well done.

I’m not sure about that “currently not the case”.

I mean you can download the data from OSM, open it in QGIS, and make a custom map of your city. You could use whatever locale you wanted for names.

My point is, any assertion that it’s not used by a renderer is false, because someone will inevitably use it

That doesn’t make it true though, obviously.

Because a CEO is a specific thing with a specific meaning that just isn’t relevant here. It’s laden with human meaning that is irrelevant to a statistical model.

Really you’re trying to say that the bots coordinated their efforts, and perhaps one of them was delegating tasks.

This type of structure is very common in tech, in load balancers or queues of service workers, containers and hypervisors, et cetera.

Power structures that seem logical and efficient to humans are not so for a gen AI model. If everyone knows what needs to be done and no one has any ego or character traits to manage, then everyone can simply perform the next task as it arises.

Its absolutely absurd to suggest that the bots elected a CEO.
