Ed really killing it today.

β€œThe fact that Microsoft moved GitHub Copilot subscribers to token-based is also a very, very bad sign. Microsoft is arguably the best-capitalized, most-profitable, and best-positioned company to continue subsidizing compute, and if it can’t afford to do so further, nobody else can either.

The real thing to look out for β€” a true pale horse β€” will be a major AI lab like Anthropic or OpenAI moving all of its subscribers to token-based billing. Once that happens, you’ll know it’s closing time.”

I'm currently looking for work in Hamilton, Waikato.

I completed my Master's in Music in 2025, and have been doing casual AV work since. It's been fun, but now I'm looking for something with a regular schedule and will pay the bills.

I've got good administrative skills from studies and being a private flute teacher, and I'm a good communicator (both within a team and with customers/clients). I have consistently produced well-researched documents with a high degree of attention to detail, which lead to me being engaged for a research project by one of my lecturers.

I've spent the last couple years learning what I can in subjects that interest me, including computer science, te reo māori, bookkeeping, acoustics, and so on. I'm by no means qualified in any of those fields, but I really enjoy learning on or off the job, and work well in inter-disciplinary teams.

So yeah It's a long shot, but if you know anyone hiring or who might be interested in hiring someone with my background, please let me know.

I'm sorry ,but these motherfuckers had 2 fucking years to do literally anything to prepare, didn't, and now are getting rewarded with taxpayer money. If you're a worker for Heinz? no notice, get fucked. If you force animals to race, so others can skim money off vulnerable people? 2 years warning, and if you don't do anything the government will step in for you.

You can be some arsehole profiting from abusing animals, and the government is so spineless in illegalising your industry that you can basically hold these dogs to raansom against the fucking state and the state will cave.

"Simpson said the agency is still determining what the rate will be, but she estimates it will be "in the $20s or the $30s" a day." "$30s" is a bit vague, so let's take $30 as the mid point. Each greyhound owner will receive $210 per week for *each* dog, until they've been rehomed." That surely re...
