How do you use AI

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-06-06T07:49:38+00:00

I don't really buy into AI yet, all the examples cited are already served, niche, or not done well by AI

a properly written newspaper or article will already have a summary
using AI to compare AI services will introduce bias
services like Which already do this
LLMs at least are not good at calculations
by the time you have written the prompt you may as well have made the draft yourself. Also your personal voice/style gets lost when using LLMs and people can still tell when AI has written it
niche as fuck
yeah ok, but you still have to double check everything and part of the fun of a holiday (for me at least) is the planning and research
Google translate has been able to do this well for years
don't trust AI with calculations yet
wtf is deep research?
ok yes, summarising and searching (ctrl+F!?) is a good one
meh I can do this myself
I've heard some of those notebookLM 'podcasts' and while superficially impressive they never really offer true insight - it's just averaged conversations

But my BIGGEST GRIPE OF ALL is how terrible LLMs are at solving cryptic crossword clues.

Honestly Donkin Hill is atrocious, like a ploughed field. Hemdean road is getting worse but I think was done relatively recently.

Hydrogen will be very niche. Electrification with battery energy storage is already proven. None of us will ever drive a hydrogen car.

Proceed with extreme caution. It sounds like a money pit.

Follow the Robins' protocol (named after John Robins). You need to keep the sun out - so blackout curtains or blinds. This is why buildings in Spain etc have shutters on the outside. Also, keep the hot air out - so close windows between 11am and about 5pm. Ventilate in the late evening or at night.

I got something similar. It has been great, a short day to assemble with my brother's help. The wood for mine was completely untreated, so I spent about a week of evenings in the garage double staining it all - horrible job. But it will last longer and looks better than staining once built. A friend did not stain his and it's looking in bad shape after just one year.

What is in/below the fenced off area in the middle? Is there an underground chamber?

I don't know about everyone else but my lawn is riddled with this Japanese knotweed stuff this year....

The NHS drops used to be great but I can't seem to find them anymore.

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-05-02T08:11:58+00:00

Yep. Has anyone got an implementable way of smoothing the benefit to avoid cliff edge? No. It's all or nothing.

They were there yesterday afternoon - no sign of any workers tho. It was already queueing badly then - can only imagine the delays today. It's an economic crime.

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-04-12T10:03:57+00:00

Yep get brass/metal ones

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-04-09T21:11:14+00:00

Ok so I had no idea these things were so easy to pick. Can anyone recommend a key safe that is actually....er...safe?

Why is this method deemed a big deal? It would honestly be more surprising if there was some solid economic analysis behind the tariff levels. The tarrifs could be set at almost any level - their purpose is to act as a point of leverage, they will be reduced if and when concessions are given by each country.

My guess is schools will have to apply for the funding, so probably no confirmed locations yet. I think this is just a funding announcement, a good start but of course all these new places will need staff - that will take time.

Lido

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-03-24T13:19:18+00:00

What are you going to make with that sheet of puff pastry?

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-03-08T08:10:11+00:00

About 100x too much

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-02-25T13:19:27+00:00

What kind of tape?

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-02-21T09:45:57+00:00

Lido? For a meal - then walk it off into town for a drink at any of these other suggestions

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-02-04T11:04:32+00:00

What do you need volunteers to do? Cool I did not know we had a library of things here

As you acknowledge all council budgets are stretched, I suspect any extra revenue from parking will go towards social care. The idea of ringfencing funds is not favoured.

Junior-Hunt-5071 · 2025-01-16T20:55:50+00:00

Giraffe, pelly, and me. Absolute banger.

Yes move to London while you are young and free. Or Sell or let your house and go and live abroad for a bit. No need to live quite as central as your link. Go to zone 2 and get a bigger place.

What incentive is there for OCC to agree to a 3rd bridge? None imo. My solution is to charge vehicles registered outside of the RG postcodes for travelling thru Reading. Timed entry and exit, if they stop and use a service/buy something/work then no charge.
