If we were sunnier, I would be a huge defender of the UK's net zero policy, because solar is quite clearly going to underpin prosperity in the latter half of this century. I'm much less confident about wind, and think our path ahead is unsettlingly expensive

quite possibly! My fear — and the reason I give some time to the latter of the two cases — is that _solar_ looks like it's progressing rapidly to become the engine of future prosperity. And we're cloudy and northern.
my fear is that we specifically have a shitty position here. solar is an inevitable market and we're cloudy and northern; wind feels far more… evitable… and even though we're good at it, the cost curve stubbornly refuses to bend
in what direction?
I don't know, are we? "We aren't actually trying to do this" is another good response if it's true.
I think there's a few good reasons for the UK to lead the way on net zero — it may materially motivate action amongst bigger polluters, it lets us build up the post-fossil tech stack earlier, if you're gonna do it anyway you may as well get it over with — but I'm not convinced they're a slam dunk
wish there was more engagement with the distinction between "net zero is bad" and "the UK leading the way on net zero is bad". former is nonsense talking from barely reformed climate denialists but the latter deserves a better answer than "oh you like climate change do you?"
Only so I could buy it a second time
Can’t you just sell them to me
Wasn’t it specifically selling you Jamie’s comics
Jaaaaaaaaaaaamie
If you structure it as a Monty Hall equivalent, then yeah, you absolutely should swap: "you select a box, then the host opens the lowest prize. Do you swap with a random remaining box?" yes you do. And you can repeat that every round and you should swap every round.
Right. If you structure the query in DOND terms it's: "You select a box, then open every box other than the grand prize and the bottom prize; should you swap?" I think it's hard to say "yes", because the structure of the problem has left you with the same 5050 opportunity
key difference is that Monty Hall only has the counterintuitive outcome _because the person opening the door has knowledge you don't have_. In DOND, swapping can never have any effect, because no-one has added any information to the mix
GREAT stat: one in six of all British prime ministers _ever_ will be at Remembrance Sunday this year. [assuming nothing bad happens] [pray 4 JMPM] diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2026/06/all-...
Cool storm
Yes but the counterpoint here is that the thread is also implicitly an explanation of why HDM is SO good, since it does the same shift and pulls it off
Oh you gotta read the Wayfairers books too then
…did you forget to pick up the kids cam
amazing
