I thought that quote was particularly interesting. Why would Robert Stordy expect to recognise everyone in a town whose population churns on a weekly basis?

I don't know if you can when the SIM is disabled, but if you can get to emergency dial *#06# to get the IMEI. The SIM might have logos indicating the mobile operator to contact with that number.

Interesting case. Are the domestic kitchen sinks in Richmond connected to a different system? Should the residents be going out to pour some things into street bins instead of down their sinks?

Is dog urine an animal product? Will dog walkers need to carry bottles as well as bags?

Banks: Use a year-month-day in statement filenames so they sort properly. Filenames in this format do not sort properly 16-03-2024-17-04-2024.pdf which is very annoying.

Shouting into the void like this is infinitely preferable to trying to talk to Cora, #NatWest.

Leaving the ECHR is just another "cause" that right-wing lunatics can latch onto.

It's Brexit 2.

And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they
are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.

A mate had all tickets in basket then a red line appeared through a child ticket, and everything expired before he could re-add it. This system is not at all perfect, to say the least.

Just seeing this.

Unfortunately we have not been able to reserve the tickets you requested. This is most likely because the tickets sold out before you attempted to reserve them

Hopefully, not be distracted from the issue of the Epstein files. I assume that's his goal.

So we can expect it to keep happening then? What about the individual people who made the decisions leading to the catastrophe?

When police arrest someone for projection, it’s because they subconsciously want to do it themselves.

Over-hype of anything results in misapplication with poor results, so will appear fundamentally flawed.

There's more to AI than LLMs with a tendency for confabulation. These will cause problems when misapplied in, say, court cases. Cf Alphafold.

Surely we need to take inspiration from Douglas Adams in any attempt to create AGI. First, make an ANI that has a focus on creating AGI, give it a hot cup of very strong tea and let it work it all out all the details.
