  • As I’ve pointed out elsewhere pension funds may be exposed to AI but the money in your personal fund doesn’t need to be. If you haven’t already moved your retirement investment out of shares then see if that’s possible. I’ve changed mine to conservative settings already and looking at the list its mainly in cash, property, farming and a few manufacturers now with no tech stocks at all. That seems a sensible mix for when the market collapses this time around.


  • It’s disappointing but some nation state sponsored attackers are either adopting useful addons or creating them from scratch. After they have a sufficient base of trusting users they update the addon to add spying code that activates for a group of accounts possibly targeted by geolocation. The vast majority of users are not even affected. So with that going on it’s hard to be certain of an addons quality.

    I’d consider where the addons are hosted. Firefox and Chrome both allow reviewing existing addon permissions so disable when not required or split into risk level profiles for personal vs work vs anon browsing.








  • The ability to categorise and tease out common attributes is one of the foundations of science because it lets you make predictions. If something is true of most plants then it is probably true of this specific plant. The next step beyond this primal science is to formulate a hypothesis and test it. If I combine these two metals they should have some of the properties of both sources. Let’s test that at different ratios and temperatures. The problem with Greek proto science is that it’s as much theology and guessing as observation, and they thought they could reason out nature without experimenting.
