@seatsixtyone Aqaba to Sharm el Sheikh but I don’t know how you’d get to Jordan

First flight since 2019. BA to Cairo. Haven’t been to Egypt for 36 years: In 1990 I travelled there and back by train and ferry via Paris, Munich, Athens. Sadly there are now no ferries to Egypt!

@HalifaxBank - what great service from Darren and Lucy just now

I don't think I need worry about ChatGPT taking over my job just yet

hackage.haskell.org/package/mwc-ra… Additon of binomial sampler using the rejection sampling method in Kachitvichyanukul, V. and Schmeiser, B. W. - you can still use the lookup table method but this will be faster for eg the beta binomial

@aspiwack That was very entertaining - thank you for posting it

A masterclass.

@JimPropp I made some notes about Baer and Hasse who re-published Steinitz' (a distant relation) classic work "Algebraic Theory of Fields" but I don't think they are worth committing to twitter.

@JimPropp "Nach der Schlacht von Stalingrad meldete er (Teichmüller) sich freiwillig an die Ostfront und an der letzten größeren deutschen Offensive bei Kursk teilnahm und ist 1943-09-11 an der Ostfront (westlich von Kharkov) gefallen."

How do you compute 7 1/4 minus 3/4, and what does your method say about you (at least according to some people in early 19th century Germany)? See my latest Mathematical Enchantments essay: mathenchant.wordpress.com/2024/04/17/jew…

@sagemath I am getting 502 Bad Gateway when I click on ask.sagemath.org

@TheEconomist I asked ChatGPT for an inspirational fridge magnet "Embrace the journey, celebrate the small victories, and savor the moments – your story is a masterpiece in the making."

@Gilesyb We need compound nouns: Hauspreisrutsch in Beijing verschärft chinesische Immobilienbranchesorgen

I'm SO glad I never had to learn English as a foreign language. This *looks* like nine consecutive nouns.

@TheEconomist I can’t change it via the website via chat or via phone and apparently twitter does not get your attention ☹️

@TheEconomist I have been chatting to one of your agents for 30+ minutes trying to change the delivery address of The Economist - I don't know why this is so difficult

@airalocom my esim is still not working after 3 hours chatting with your Helpdesk :-(

@Sustrans we made it to the end of NCN 4 - at least there were no more 4 signs pointing West.

@BarclaysUKHelp The status page is also not working :-(

We’re sorry about our ongoing issues with our app and Online Banking

@highfielder80 @MikeyCycling @UKCycleChat @NorthCoast500 I've done bits of it and my daughter did it all. Accommodation is scarce so book in advance and also your evening meal. The single track roads are busier than might be expected. Neither of us had great weather so warm waterproof clothing. The scenery is great.

Has anyone ever cycled the North Coast 500 route in Scotland? Wondering what it's like, feasible, enjoyable, route advice, variations, accommodation etc. @UKCycleChat @NorthCoast500 #cycling #northcoast500 #Scotland
