Firmly in favour of this. Bring on the beavers, I say. Cash could make a comeback.

@Nickiquote Which beavers though? There’s literally thousands of them, all wearing their woggles and swearing fealty to Lord Baden-Powell
@DJDarren Little Bob-a-Job bastards, coming over here, doing our hard working Boys Brigaders out of pocket money.

What about a Beaver *dressed* as Winston Churchill, though? One of a range of historical beavers.Florence Nightingbeaver: the beaver with the lamp, Beavdicea, Elizabeav 1: the virgin beaver, and so on.

@Nickiquote @Bez_Lightyear As opposed to a hairy tenor, which is more in Williams' and Hawtrey's territory.

I liked the Irish coins with animals on them. Apparently one priest strongly objected:
“If these pagan symbols once get a hold, then is the thin edge of the wedge of Freemasonry sunk into the very life of our Catholicity, for the sole object of having these pagan symbols instead of religious emblems on our coins is to wipe out all traces of religion from our minds, to forget the ‘land of saints,’ and beget a land of devil-worshippers, where evil may reign supreme”

@Nickiquote I mean, obviously I can see his point. The corrupting force of having a horse on your currency. Utterly shocking.

@Waxingtonknee The sow on there has piglets, strongly implying that it has had sex, and out of wedlock too, as pigs cannot marry!

LOL: Fanatical religiosity = if you're not fanatically with us then you're fanatically against us. #WTAF
I had a couple of those (the two Bob fish and the chicken) in my childhood coin collection but I didn't know about all the other animals.
Nice!
We should definitely have wildlife on all our coins and banknotes!

@krnlg @solitha Therac-25[1] predated most of the problems: the problem is that Therac-25 isn't universally taught in CS classes!
[1] the accidents happened from 1985, but the Therac-25 dates to 1975 and the software was written by one dude using PDP-11 assembler who may well not have understood race conditions.

@cstross
Mind you at this point I don't even really know what I'm trying to say any more, it's more a primal scream in elongated word form. I didn't mean to spam you folks notifications quite this much, sorry.

@cstross
All I'm saying is, we engineered nukes and machine guns, napalm and white phosphorus and ethics exams never stopped us. I know it's easy to group all that as Military but it's pretty cross-discipline I think.I do agree about software eng, Therac 25 comes to mind.

@soph Interesting: do you have a citation for vibe-code failing legal checks? No issue if you don't, I can hop on Google and find it, but this would be the first I'd heard of it (most of what I've heard is that LLM output is uncopyrightable, not that it violates someone else's copyright).
The reason I ask is that I'm aware of corporate contexts where it's being used and if the courts are leaning towards declaring them copyright violations that could have significant implications (declaring them non-copyrightable probably less so; in practice most companies protect source code as trade-secret because it's hard to prove provenance in a court-of-law... Or by moving so fast that a competitor exfiltrating an out-of-date chunk of source isn't super useful or would require the competitor to also have the hardware / architecture the code "lives" in).

@solitha
We have the wrong balance, is all I'm saying. Not that science is wrong, far from it. Not that we should sit in caves loving each other while we die young either! 🙂We're an immature civilisation flailing around with power we don't know how to handle. Our philosophy is way behind our science, and we're ruled by bad people who take our science and use it to ruin everything.
Feels like we're already living in sci-fi but I guess that's the power and purpose of fiction!
