@jamesvillasuk we do not have the high chair we booked in our villa despite multiple calls requesting this to your "helpline" call centre. Will you please give us local details to sort this out as your call handlers in India are not well placed to do this. Holiday ref 6513298.

@zachary_horvitz @SebastienBubeck @MSFTResearch @OpenAI @bing didn't the humans get it it wrong where GPT asks to move up from the main room; they said there is no way there but in fact it goes to kitchen 2, so at least that difference between the maps can't be blamed on GPT

@SebastienBubeck @MSFTResearch @OpenAI @bing Wild results here. Example: GPT4 can visualize mazes as it navigates them.

At @MSFTResearch we had early access to the marvelous #GPT4 from @OpenAI for our work on @bing. We took this opportunity to document our experience. We're so excited to share our findings. In short: time to face it, the sparks of #AGI have been ignited. arxiv.org/abs/2303.12712

@thameswater your lorry did this to our neighbour's grass bank full of primroses and spring bulbs. Not only does it now look like Mordor instead of the Shire, it's likely undermined their wall and damaged the tree. How do they get you to come and put this right?

@DPDgroup_news I did that - please could you reply to it?

@harrygibson Hello and thank you for these details! We are sorry to read this. Please contact us by direct message and we will assist you with this issue. Kind regards.

@DPDgroup_news What happened? - you've gone from best to a very distant worst delivery service. Trying almost a week to get my parcel. A different excuse every day. Many other deliveries in the meantime but you are the 1 who "can't find" our house and ignore requested alternates.

@sgrif I reckon that much storage could hold an uncompressed text file containing the name and a short bio (~125 chars) for every human alive. On a device smaller than a thumbnail.

@krishgm nothing to apologise for

After a robust interview with Steve Baker MP I used a very offensive word in an unguarded moment off air.  While it was not broadcast that word in any context is beneath the standards I set myself and I apologise unreservedly. I have reached out to Steve Baker to say sorry

General Election NOW. RT if you agree 👍

🎨 The best way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting. RT when it works for you.

@DCMS @what3words Now it's at "homes.reap.adopt", which could have been proper.parent.assist, elite.mild.encounter, chained.simply.serve, modest.skirt.arena (it is a place of respect!), gifts.parent.hills (nice Duchy!)

I see @DCMS are using @what3words to track the #QueueForTheQueen ; I'm looking forward to seeing some overly- or inappropriate addresses. Near to the current "frozen.angel.guitar" we've bright.round.sobs, passes.regime.posed, crush.allow.areas, record.event.spot...

What if London bridge actually had fallen as well though. Would be a good day to bury that bit of news.

@marksavage23237 @mrmarksteel Yes! I'd forgotten that; it absolutely was

@mrmarksteel The night of the Referendum was actually just like that

Twas the night before Liz Truss became Prime Minister, and the skies were torn apart with lightning, and the ground did roar with thunder and the rain swept with mighty power through the darkness, and the earth itself seemed to tremble at the thought of what was to come.

Tesco copywriter adroitly puts finger on the real nub of what is making so many people stressed - inconvenient mushrooms.

@thelaceylondon Thought this was a holonomic truck

In six words or fewer, write a short story about this photo... #amwriting #sixwordstory

@DrMLHarris Quite right too (octopus?) but (even apart from the wrongness of elec market being tied to wholesale gas regardless of actual daily source), I think it sadly doesn't make sense for electric to cost <= gas per kWh delivered due to basic thermodynamics 😭

@DrMLHarris But so long as power is generated from gas, at ~40% efficiency, the electricity can't really be cheaper than gas! All other things being equal and simple of course, which they aren't.

@DrMLHarris So that sounds like you are getting a CoP of less than 3 from your heat pump - in summer? That's not the worst, but it surely ought to be better at this time of year?
