However, from a programming perspective, it either works or it doesn’t. From a legal perspective, that is something completely else, so I guess the comparison is not quite equal.
To me this is the crux of the matter. It’s why AI is absolutely worthless for engineering (the traditional kind) beyond asking “hey, what’s the part of the standard that says something like XYZ?” and then just going directly to the source.
LLMs can’t reason.
Oh I want them to introduce campaign funding limits, just without the loop holes and unfair advantages.
They won’t though, because it wouldn’t benefit them.
$5,000 in expenses on a standard four-bedroom home
This seems pretty damn reasonable to ensure that the house is built to a good standard…
Even their cherry picked numbers aren’t convincing
but provided an exemption for funds transferred to registered political parties through their “nominated entities”.
The only parties with nominated entities registered with the Victorian Electoral Commission are Labor, and the Liberal and National parties. While laws allowed for the creation of new nominated entities, any set up after 1 July 2020 were subject to the donation cap.
Seems like the High Court made a sensible decision. This is some anti-democratic bullshit if I ever did see it.
Fuck the Labor Party. Watch them not reintroduce these laws at all now…
100%.
All I’m seeing is a subsidy for drivers here…
Like, I can sort of, SORT OF see the logic behind providing subsidy for fuel for the use of delivery or other legitimate business uses, and for people who live in the country, in order to suppress some inflation.
But for personal transportation in a city? Nah. Take public transport. Doesn’t exist? Time to demand it. Bus routes can be spun up incredibly quickly, and yet governments aren’t doing that at all…
Electric cars will fix everything.
Really hoping this is sarcasm.
The only solution to traffic is viable alternatives to driving.
I strongly dislike anyone who actively decides to go to these things.
I know they left the royal family, but for purely personal reasons.
Fuck the royals, and who gives two shits about these two ex-royals?
As much as I think tobacco and nicotine are really stupid drugs (very addictive with the most boring mind altering effects one ever did see).
I support you doing that because at least people could “shop local” with you and not support mega corps or other large cartels.
The prohibition though, in my opinion, is sound.
There’s a reason why smoking is being banned in more and more locations: it stinks, and smoked as tobacco, definitely causes cancer - which the community also has to bear the cost of in medical expenses and familial/fraternal trauma.
Understandably, alcohol and other drugs also have bad side effects, and there’s an argument to be made about whether is appropriate to control that also - but heck, at least the mind altering effects are actually fun, and it’s not chemically addictive.
Basically. Smoking sucks, and I wish people didn’t do it, sorry bud.
Water definitely should not count, wtf
Damn, that sucks :(
Hope your insurance excess isn’t too high
About bloody time. I’m glad that for once there’s a semblance of justice
The only bad thing is the state government not rapidly increasing train frequencies for off-peak, when we have the rolling stock to do so (and also removing the VLine booking system, like, that is really stupid).
Whether we have enough drivers, I dunno
It’s absurd that a private school receives a single cent of public funding.
Go be private if you’re going to be private…
All funding destined for private schools should be redirected to public schools (and more) at rapid pace.
For clarity, I’m not saying everyone can not own a car, but most people definitely don’t need a yank wank truck, or a car that drives 1000 km in a single go, for the vast, vast, vast majority of their trips.
I think there’s a case to be made that if one must have a car, and they have the option of choosing an electric car, they should do that, and in the rare cases they need a car that runs on fuel for range or lack of charging options, just rent one.
I hope you get some more transport options near you soon to tick you over to the car-free life!
As someone who doesn’t own a car, it’s wild to me that people will buy something for the extremely rare times they’ll use that feature.
Renting a car for the weekend is a thing, folks…
I’m so sorry. Godspeed friend, we’re cheering you on around the world. Hope all goes well for you and you loved ones in these particularly trying times
When is our government going to have some moral courage?
Sadly, Labor’s notionally socialist past is long, long, in the rearview mirror.
Upsetting the gambling industry is liable to get your house firebombed, so it’s unsurprising the status-quo “Labor” party isn’t gonna do shit to really reign it in.
We’re the worst in the world on gambling…
Seems pretty clear cut that QR is at fault.
Hopefully the public knows this. Drives me up the wall how many comments I hear from the community against striking workers.
I really think they’re all slapping a band-aid on the problem. Our bus routes are such low hanging fruit to actually be good, but all around the country, they’re kinda meh (especially here in Victoria).
We could pretty quickly rationalise the paths the take, and hire many new drivers to increase frequency.
We need to give the people who can get out of their cars the option, and currently many people simply don’t have a choice because of the stupid ways we’ve allowed our cities to grow, and be car-dependent.
Mark my words, fuel corporations are going to be laughing all the way to the bank for the rest of this crisis. All these tax cuts are going to do is leave us with less revenue and more of the money going to them.
Compared to how much we subsidise roads, this is a drop in the bucket
