"Famously, those allies have now fallen out, reflecting the truism that, in Victoria, factions are like the weather. If you don’t like what’s on offer, just wait a while."

I like this line. It reflects realpolitik in the #Labor Party - something voters tend to forget about in the fever of elections - and the variagated #Melburnian weather. I love them both. One because no party can truly be a homogeneous represetantion of the community and the other because just as seasons mark time, Melbourne gives seasons everyday.

Christopher Warren wrote a brilliant reminder of what musical chairs in the Parliamentary caucus is all about and explains why political egos are not the main game here.

The latest factional struggle in Labor goes back a long way, from before #Hawke to #Rudd and #Shorten

#Auspol #Shorten

A human, different view of the everyday Bill, from one of our most perceptive writers, John Birmngham.
I enjoyed JB's forecast of what he wished on Morrison, but it was not to be. YET.
Also shared that rage on the night of the 2019 election.

The real reason Bill Shorten never made Prime Minister was how he ate the sausage #democracysausage #auspol #shorten #shortened #zinger

That said, #ChatGPT doesn't seem to be doing a particularly good job with #scientific #texts, and also it doesn't seem to be able to #count the characters in its own output. So typically if you ask to #shorten the text, it first overshoots by a bit, then undershoots by a bit.

Here I'm trying it on my own old abstract as an example (from 1340 chars it first went to 1200, then to 700, while I asked for 1000)

Please take the text below and shorten it, making it exactly 1000 characters long (including spaces and punctuation signs). Try to preserve as many ideas and details as possible, but feel free to reformulate things where necessary. Be very careful about not changing the meaning of the text, as it is a scientific text, and precision of definition matters here. Do write in good and grammatically correct English. The text: "Looming stimuli evoke behavioral responses in most animals, yet the mechanisms of looming detection in vertebrates are poorly understood. Here we hypothesize that looming detection in the tectum may rely on spontaneous emergence of synfire chains: groups of neurons connected to each other in the same sequence in which they are activated during a loom. We then test some specific consequences of this hypothesis. First, we use high-speed calcium imaging to reconstruct functional connectivity of small networks within the tectum of Xenopus tadpoles. We report that reconstructed directed graphs are clustered and hierarchical, that their modularity increases in development, and that looming-selective cells tend to collect activation within these graphs. Second, we describe spontaneous emergence of looming selectivity in a computational developmental model of the tectum, governed by both synaptic and intrinsic plasticity, and driven by structured visual inputs. We show that synfire chains contribute to looming detection in the model...Looming stimuli in most animals can evoke behavioral responses, but the mechanisms of looming detection in vertebrates are not well understood.

The model shows that synfire chains contribute to looming detection, and that structured inputs are critical for the emergence of selectivity. Our findings suggest a conceptual scheme for understanding the emergence and fine-tuning of collision detection in developing aquatic animals.This text is still way too long.

I don’t watch #ABC #QandA anymore, but I will have a quick look at their short posts.

#NDIS - to access it, you need to be White, Middle Class, Uni educated to access it (summarisation of Bill #Shorten’s words

That was in response to a question/comment from a #muslim #refugee #black #disabled #women
