Here’s the thing about prompting as software design: English and other human languages are inefficient and ambiguous. Which is why legal English is so tortuous. At some point we will have to reinvent programming languages just to tell LLMs what to do in sufficient detail.

I am delighted and very honoured to have been renewed for my 15th year in the programme

Interesting interior this year to the @MorrisComm JE at Everything Electric London

@mrlacey I would watch this

People tend to be shocked when I show a trivially simple UI mock-up and point out there's at least 90(!) questions to ask, or things to consider, or decisions to make before you can implement it as desired. Is "200+ questions about UI mock-ups" an interesting conference talk?

Really well done Jonathan. Great use of props to explain the heat storage.

@OhmeEV I hate to do this publicly but I have had support ticket 293899 outstanding since the 18th July with no response to my follow up emails. I would be grateful if someone can look into this.

It's taken two sessions on the phone with Amazon CS but I am, hopefully, now getting all of these items refunded. So that's a positive outcome. Thanks, @AmazonHelp, for that at least.

I'm an Amazon customer of 20 years and a Prime customer for at least 10. I'm not a scammer trying to claim refunds for things I have received, or returning a brick instead of a laptop. I think maybe I've earned a little trust?

A very mixed experience with Amazon over the last few days. Long story short, several items didn't go out for delivery on Friday, on Saturday I got notification that they had been delivered, but they had not. I was at home, no delivery attempt was made, plus no proof of delivery.

I never take this for granted. Absolutely over the moon to have been renewed as a #MicrosoftMVP for the 14th year. This year for both .Net and Developer Tools. @MVPBuzz Thanks for everyone's support

@WinObs I can't think of anyone who more deserves to have the time to do what they want to do with their life. Hope our paths cross again and all the very best for your future

@adpead @SynStalker As am I

@MusingsEv @isdixon And a fabulous conversation it was too

Those good guys, @isdixon and @garrywma had me on The Digital Lifestyle podcast this week to talk EVs, FUD, and the current situation with motorway charging. If you’ve not seen my face, yet, this is a great opportunity to do so!

thedigitallifestyle.com/w/2024/05/tdl-… We had a great chat with @MusingsEv this week

@EVFestivalUK You didn't let anyone down Paul and like others I am totally happy not to have a refund. I had a fabulous day anyway.

I am so sorry for everyone who has made the journey today especially everyone from a far. I am truly sorry for letting everyone down. I will gather my thoughts and information about the financial situation later. I will try and look at rescheduling.

@neilhewitt Just have to have a much smaller team lunch 😀

TFW you organise a team lunch and then realise you can't make it.

@tillathenun It's the chicken

So close! Baffling that almost 30k people subscribe to our chaotic, unhinged discussions (and some EV stuff). @MrEV" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@MrEV

My chat with @alexlowe30 and @tillathenun at EverythingElectric followed by a great conversation with Dan Caesar from @FullyChargedShw is now live youtu.be/u1h_Gscd8TM
