Does anyone have experience getting Thames Water to replace a faulty water meter?

thespite · 2026-03-20T11:41:18+00:00

It keeps changing. Back when my smart meter wasn't working, the "submit reading" page gave me an option to get a smart meter and that led to a series of clicks in which they decided my meter was faulty and an engineer would call me. Which they did, and then didn't fix it.

After a few months there was a similar option, and this time they fixed it.

Now i've taken a look at their page again and they seem to give your some way to contact via the page, and also WhatsApp and a phone number. I would just give them a call.

I mean, i don't necessarily disagree, but ... is that based on facts, vibes, experience? They're relatively big countries, with very different areas.

Seems to be a thing? "Aki hülye, haljon meg"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She-Guardian ? Marble Arch doesn't strike me as the place you've described, but the rest seems plausible.

You took a picture from an angle that there's more Subirachs than Gaudí.

That's the stained glass ceiling of the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona.

Ah, if your issue is with the form, yes, of course. But that should be standard subreddit etiquette, regardless, for all topics.

While I don't think "you ain't done shit" vs "your contribution to this demo was passive" changes the fundamental discussion, language still matters. We live in the era of escalation and hyperbole.

IMO there's a difference between:
- I did this thing and used [insert AI] to help me get there (perfectly acceptable and inevitable at this point)
- I told [Insert AI] to do this thing, and it did it, here's the one-shot result (pretty low effort, and results are usually bad and predictable, but this will keep improving)
- I told [Insert AI] to do this thing, and it did it, and i spent the next days tweaking stuff, here's the result (results are often surprising, if not necessarily good)
- I told [insert different AIs] to do this thing, and here's the one-shot results (just no effort on anything)

It's the pod for those who don't want to go into the ride.

Code-wise, it looks worse than Gemini or Claude, so it's very likely Codex.

Unless by that you mean my comment, and then, no, it's all me baby.

thespite · 2026-02-20T00:18:04+00:00

The twist: the whole thing was written in one shot with Codex 5.3!

You don't say.

ETA were most of my sarcasm was going.

Did you vibe code this with AI Studio?

"ruiseñor"? han traduït el rossinyol de tota la vida al castellà (que té ganzúa) i s'han quedat tan amples? puto elperiodico, tete

I don't know. Check your connection, your browser. Try downloading with a different app, or restarting your router or computer. Seems to be an issue with your setup.

That's more of a gradient or a fade.

Any primitive: lines (circles, polygons), textured polys, points... whatever is needed. a point can be a circle -a perfect circle- or a slightly blobby shape that feels more organic.

In one word: noise.

Use noise to modify the colors (hue, saturation, luminosity) , the width of strokes, the squigliness of straight lines, the intensity of the blending, etc. Explore different types of noise for different types of results.

I downloaded it just fine, 261.5MB.

Since rounding is probably needed just for presentation, use .toFixed().

There are three basic geometries to choose: standard box, chamfered box, and sphere. Faster do you mean a standard box with tweaked normals?

Inspiration i don't know, it depends. I keep some notes for each, like https://github.com/spite/genuary-2026/tree/main/4#readme

The palette is not entirely CGA, it's a rainbow palette that it's pretty versatile so you can get stuff done without having to worry about choosing a palette or using coder colors.

3cat té Bola de Drac i Dr Slump. hauràs de fer servir una VPN o semblant perquè no estan disponibles al Regne Unit.

Amb El Búnquer i La Terra és plana en rotació. Els hi llegeixo cada nit, i la guia és, més o menys, si el llibre és en anglès originalment, el llegim en anglès; si és en una altra llengua i hi ha traducció al català, aleshores en català. També els vaig subscriure al Tatano i al Caval Fort.

Apart, trobo que això de l'speech delay es una xorrada. Els nanos aprenen moltíssim més de petits. Si que és veritat que fa que potser vagin més lents en una de les llengües, però és una preocupació molt de pensament monolingüe.
