@bendee983 Experience and knowledge is expressed in language (books about code) and code - all text. What is the feature set that cannot be extracted for .... 'prediction'?

@sudobunni All technology is a bit rubbish. The real miracle is any of it works at all.

@VincentRowlatt The ones who would leave if asked to pay a bit more tax.

Soon, we'll have spent so much money on defence that the only thing left to defend will be the wealthy and their economy... Oh...

@samueljmcd "Unexpected Use Case in the bagging area"

@samueljmcd Several are listening to Gob Radio LBC 24/7, providing transcription, categorisation, evolving context summary and snarky asides. Just need to plug in something like Patter with Twilio and see if I can get one on air.

@sri9s I'm a geek, I have been waiting for this for 50+ years and I'm damn well going to enjoy exploring it, making some of the Sci-Fi things I dreamt of and using it to remove things that blocked my progress on projects in the past.

@AIandDesign The analysts, developers, testers were always running around inside the SE Chinese Room, with the product manager on the outside, sending in the prompts, neither side ever really understanding the other but nerveless from time to time, producing little miracles.

What a lot of folks don’t understand is that it is not and never was about the act of writing code. The skill is “software engineering”.

@BarbaraSutton15 @GMB @GBNEWS Funny how like a synchronised dance troupe, our journalists pivot from "How can we possibly afford that" for any public spending that benefits people to, "more taxes for bombs please", citing military bods who will only ever want more.

The whole world is celebrating the World Cup while Israeli occupation forces are attacking Gaza.. This is for this night’s Israeli attacks in Gaza

🚨🇬🇧 A man in Bolton allegedly tried to burn down the home of a local Imam while his young family were inside. Not shouted abuse. Not a nasty tweet. Not “concerns about immigration.” A man in a motorbike helmet tried to set fire to a Muslim family’s home with children inside. And this is exactly why Tommy Robinson’s rhetoric is so dangerous. When you tell angry crowds that Britain’s towns are being taken over by “Pakistani Muslims,” “race gangs,” and hostile minorities; when you take a murder with no Muslim connection and deliberately drag Muslims into it; when you tell people they are under attack in their own country - you are not “just asking questions.” You are painting a target on innocent people. Tommy Robinson does not need to personally hand someone a petrol can for his rhetoric to matter. This is how incitement works in the real world. You create the enemy. You repeat the lie. You tell people they are victims of a conspiracy. Then some coward in a helmet decides an Imam’s family home is a legitimate target. That is not patriotism. That is fascist politics: collective punishment, racial paranoia, religious hatred, and violence against innocent families for the supposed crimes of people they have never met. If this Bolton attack is confirmed, it should be treated with the full seriousness it deserves: an alleged attempt to burn a Muslim family alive in their own home. And every politician, pundit and “free speech” grifter who has spent years demonising Muslims should be asked one simple question: How many more homes have to burn before you admit what your words are doing?
