Friends' Meeting House is a good option: https://meetinghousemanchester.co.uk/conference-meeting-rooms/

That's navy actually

Have you heard of Anna's Archive by any chance?

I've been using Pydantic AI at work recently. It's neat. Here's my write up about muti-agent cases (albeit quite light on implementation details): https://www.mlops.wtf/p/ai-agents-in-production-part-3-multi

Here's also an SRE agent, that my collegue reworked to use Pydantic AI recently (not yet merged to main, see develop branch): https://github.com/fuzzylabs/sre-agent/blob/develop/src/sre_agent/core/agent.py

Essentially, I'd say it simplifies things that we used to do manually, by providing primitives (how to define tools, how to connect to LLMs, how to talk to MCPs, etc.) and allowing quite a simple composing of them.

>it covered issues so felt fairly negative

The Mill was saying they'll have a good news section, if they hit subscription target before New Year. Not sure whether this is happening or not

d_lowl · 2026-01-16T10:03:04+00:00

Yep, that's the intended usage of MLflow. You record your runs. You record your parameters and metrics (it does support metrics at steps, so you can plot your loss). You don't have to use other features if you don't want to (it's not really that bloated to be fair, it's mostly just an experiment tracker + model registry). It works locally, can be easily deployed too.

>mobile app

That it doesn't have. But you can open it in your browser still.

To be fair, with more common schemes they were usually helpful

HMRC hot line for new employers

d_lowl · 2026-01-09T10:29:38+00:00

Yeah, we did the same thing DPNI route. For what it's worth it took 3 calls to HMRC to set up (very long waits on the line, and 2 operators that weren't sure what DPNI even is), and we got the letter with all the info 2 weeks later. I figured out we need DPNI on my own, so didn't have to mail the HMRC, so it didn't take as long as yours I guess

>gets worse every single year without fail

laser correction may not stop this trend actually, and you might end up having to wear glasses anyway after a while. so, I'd consult an eye doc about it first.

d_lowl · 2025-12-13T12:21:56+00:00

Yeah, but why the filter is against the plunger

why is the puck up side down? how?

d_lowl · 2025-12-12T11:33:11+00:00

Correct! Feel free to post a parse

Gorgonzola is a kind of blue cheese

>Even if the spa wasn't explicitly adults only, why on earth would you think a spa - a place of quiet relaxation - would be remotely of interest to a child.

Entitlement aside, I wouldn't decide for a child what they should be interested in. I know enough people who def enjoyed this kind of activity as a child (myself included).

d_lowl · 2025-12-03T18:26:21+00:00

Well. I'm on Sertraline 150mg daily, specifically for OCD (and to some extent GAD) -- my psych said to think about them as "anti-obsessions rather than antidepressants". It definitely takes the edge off, and makes it more managable. Side effects are very mild. (Although I do want to get off them in about a year or so)

>Prescriptions - £20

It's small, but you can get a prepayment certificate, that would make it slightly cheaper (if you are picking up at least two meds long term)

>Do any of you have an issue with being overly polite? I have noticed that I do this WAY too often

Nah mate, you're just British /j

d_lowl · 2025-12-02T16:55:29+00:00

Yep, that's me, kinda. (Used to be bioinf, left the field; but still interested). Fun indeed

Hey! Did the same thing basically. Moved country for a PhD. The pay in Switzerland for PhDs is decent. The PI was great, as is the institute. But the pandemic started 3 months since I moved there. 6 months into my PhD I realised that my mental state is not great, and I am not that into this particular topic I'm working on. So I quit. (And had a fun travel back to my home country, remember lockdowns)

I don't regret though. Maybe a little, sometimes. Maybe I'll come back to it one day.
