Ah the annoying feeling when your team built something that did this ten years ago then FB launched โ€˜FB for workโ€™ and groups and stuff and the arse fell out of the whole thing. Wonder if the code base is still lying aroundโ€ฆ?

In the foreground, a laptop. In the background, a magnificent view over palm trees, orange buildings and the sea beyond.

There are worse places to work. Long four days though - and this is the only time I see the place in daylight.

Current view. Unfortunately not holiday but working - I barely saw the outside world yesterday! Glorious start though.

Iโ€™m a lifelong fan but the rehashed final episode was an utter travesty.

Damn, I need about 14 hours plus packing time.

Missing the point AND behind the curve - my kids' school already had a policy in place of confiscating a phone if heard or seen when eldest started there 9 years ago.

That's motoring.

I'm on module 5/5 for a course I'm delivering on Wednesday morning! Although the fast turnaround means the client is actually delighted. We will see how it goes...

People have no idea! Crikey, mine was in the sale and still the thick end of ยฃ300. Best investment I ever made though.

@reactiveashley.bsky.social is Emily okay? Her posts have vanished.

This is why I took my books โ€˜wideโ€™ instead of locking them in to Kindle Unlimited and Audible. Gives people a choice.

Thatโ€™s just another learning experience for the students to show why they shouldnโ€™t use a large language model as a legal reference engine.

But as a language model, parsing and categorising what is fed into it is actually useful feedback.

That's quite a decent coaching use case. The feedback to the students will presumably show what the LLMs derived from the evidence and expose any omissions / biases / poor structure.

Friday book news Because one is as ever behind on reviews, as well as general book news here is a catch up in general on my book news and a few new releases form authors I have reviewed before and recommend. Firstlโ€ฆ

Contains reviews of new books by @katebaucherel.bsky.social @bensawyerwriter.bsky.social @shelleyadinasenft.bsky.social and others, and news of my new non-fiction project because i have too many novels to write and need a distraction.

Exactly the same as the UK. My now 6'4 trans daughter missed the cut.

Yes, it'll be their selection in that case.

99p means thereโ€™s a smidgen of buying intent and might get you read through. If itโ€™s Amazon that drops the price IIRC you keep your massive royalties (about ยฃ2) and if itโ€™s the author that does it then you just pray for series sales. Free promos get no real traction at all though.

A friend saw his talk in March and afterwards ran straight for the free cocktails in the IBM sports lounge and pondered his immediate life choices at leisure ๐Ÿคฃ

Oh no! Thatโ€™s awful. I worry if I havenโ€™t seen mine for a couple of hours. Paws crossed.
