> At the time of the October 2025 incident, the personnel involved did not recognize the meaning of Melbourne NTP at stratum 5; that looping was already occurring in mobile core timing when an intended NTP stratum 3 server was able to become a client of one (or more) of the clients and that a circular loop was established when the stratum 2 source was lost. This anomaly was observed but not noted and no problem ticket was created for further investigation.

Two opportunities to raise tickets and nothing was raised.

Our bank has just bumped the minimum Android level again to the point where the Play Store reviews are flooded with people complaining they can only access their banking via the web now.

Just look at how many people pump positive comments into influencer's posts that are nothing more then ads (sorry, collaborations). While some are bots, plenty seem real.

Or the new local takeaway that's just opened and all the reviews saying "I keep seeing this place appear so I had to check it out"

They're more likely to share their research then big tech once it's ready and they can get the credit they deserve.

This can then be used to succeed in future grants or if your institution is particularly strict, meet your publish quota to keep your position.

But you have to keep paying the monthly cost, if you loose access to a phone number in your Google account it's game over for any account recovery or "let's verify it's you" it might decide to throw your way.

The problem is they've probably gone to the wrong house before and met an owner who got defensive.

I was in a similar situation. I wouldn't mind coming in because in person discussions have their their benefit but I resented being made to come in just to sit on Teams calls all day. It was open plan (of course) and everyone else in the giant space with hard surfaces were also on team calls. Even my line manager was in a different physical location.

There's no shortage of footage of people casing a place spotting the camera then wondering away. The smart ones look like they're any other lost delivery driver complete with package in hand. Thanks to the rise of gig work nobody has uniforms anymore. No that it really matters, plenty of stolen uniforms in play too.

I disagree, demand is outstripping supply.

Only 8% of households meet the tests for accessing Legal Aid and I'm not convinced in the current cost of living crisis the remaining 92% have enough spare cash to spend on lawyers.

The volume and complexity of legal issues in the community continues to outpace any growth in Legal Aid’s ability to respond.

In Victoria, the Public Understanding of Law Survey found that for every 10 respondents there are over 12 legal problems, with over half of those problems needing legal assistance that is not available.

Despite this growing demand, the report warns of a “justice deficit” with only eight per cent of households across Australia meeting the strict income and assets tests for accessing Legal Aid. [1]

It's good the tribunal acknowledges we can't all necessarily afford the costs you may incur in those initial discussions with a lawyer. While there are pro-bono lawyers they have to make sure they're taking the cases with the best prospects for success so they don't go out of business themselves.

> "Most community members are aware of this kind of property of AI now where it has a kind of sycophantic tendency … and may in fact encourage people to believe that there are legs in a claim they're making when that may not in fact be the case."

It'll be interesting to see how the AI providers are going to balance the need for models to be engaging enough to keep the tokens flowing but not so engaging they give bad advice to encourage continued conversations.

Considering the top level domain is trying to sell a book and you're active about your company on LinkedIn I'd be worried about my email address.

Beware the trap of making the pipeline so complicated it's like code except you can't debug or unit test like regular code, and it takes an hour between attempts to see if a change worked.

You can add Reddit to that list, IPO is coming so better price out the third party apps we encouraged developers to build.

I was focused on the data initially scrolling through until I suddenly realised, wow, this is really nice!

If you want to book a doctor's appointment you don't call and talk to an AI chat bot you message them on WhatsApp.

Signal was starting to gain traction until they dumped text message support and people were like, "well if I need two apps now I'll just drop Signal"

Their changelog suggests using their new upscaler but I've had nothing but disappointment from upscalers.

Upscale when ready: Users on paid tiers can seamlessly upgrade their favorite clips using our new 360p to 720p upscaler.

It's depressing that some transport systems around the world delivered decades later couldn't match this (using a proprietary card not a credit card), looking at you Myki.

So much for those people who tried to claim they knew how to prompt AI better then the next person.

While it sounds great you're quickly disappointed after you run the same prompt at standard resolution only to get a different result because it's non deterministic.

It certainly felt that way when someone was giving my GMail out to the cashier at the hardware store where I got no end of digital receipts which I couldn't unsubscribe from because they're providing the email address to the cashier each time. As they were receipts from a large verified brand Google treated them with the highest priority.

This is exactly why I do it, it's eye opening to see exactly which companies leaked your address. As a result of being able to blackhole the leaked addresses I no longer get any spam, the Dvorak dream.

I actually caught a company outright selling my address to AWS of all places, I didn't even know Amazon purchased mailing lists.

AWS were crafty because they didn't directly sell a service, they only offered "resources" for "business leaders" because they knew nothing about what I might need.
