danny.

Do people just manually turn the heat on or off? Why not just use a thermostat?

Don’t worry guys, Luke Thomas is on.

Sounds like a parody Trump generator. Not sure even he knows what he's saying. Reminds me of that scene in The Office when Michael just starts talking and admits he has no idea what he's saying or how he will end the sentence but just starts and hopes.

Does he think we've reached ASI, or just calling it the wrong name? They're different things and no one thinks we're close to ASI. Not far off AGI though, probably.

AI isn't coded. LLMs aren't deterministic algorithms, as a traditional program/app is created, they are trained, not coded, more like you'd train a human to do something, and they learn. And no one fully understands how they work or how they think, even the people creating and training the models. They understand the maths behind the training but don't fully understand why LLMs "think" as they do, any more than we fully understand how organic brains work.

Am I being really thick here? Isn't Highfields off to the right? I assume that's the view from Victoria Park road?

Well our only win was a fluke so very much so

Looking forwards to league 2

The 2027 non linear projected increases are exactly what most people overlook

Already have in many industries. People just don't get if their industry hasn't been affected yet.

You're going to hate the not too distant future...

It's been lying for a long time

What an effort from Hamza 😂

That was diabolical

You don't even get a ban reason, a warning - no chance!

Very tidy paint jobs!

Or Richard Murphy is wrong.

Most mainstream economists disagree with Richard Murphy's framing of MMT. Not surprising really, if you read most of the nonsense he writes. It's semantic slight of hand, you might as well say if you have a credit card everything is free as you merely offset the CC account (I know the creation is technically different, but it's still semantics). Edit: didn't see the other posts since then - I just replied to the one on Saturday, oh well, same point really. And confirms you were quoting Murphy.

That's amazing willpower!

It's all will power unfortunately, but stuff that I found helped: - Buy nice drinks, don't just switch to Vimto and coke, treat yourself to some nice non alcoholic drinks like Fever Tree do some great tonic mixers, not cheap but feels more like you're having an adult drink than a squash. - Non alcoholic beers are good if you are used to sitting there having can after can in the evening, if you are more spirits wine you can't really replace these but drinking something keeps your mouth and hands busy - Find something to do with your hands when you usually drink, ie if it's after work in the evenings then do a jigsaw or build a model aircraft, or paint toy soldiers, build some lego. it keeps your brain concentrated on something and your hands too full to hold a glass/can. - Exercise, although this is hard because you probably feel horrendous all the time now and going for a jog will make you nauseous. After any withdrawal symptoms have calmed down try doing 30 mins walking a day and then see if you can progress to just some press ups/sit ups or maybe a 15 minute job, one step at a time. That will make you feel massively better. - Stop watching the news or reading it online. Everything is terrible and it's easy to go into a doom spiral. You don't need to know about 3 billion bad things happening each day, there is nothing you can do about them, and it won't improve your mood. Hope this helps and maybe works for you too. Inbox always open if you want to talk.

Sounds like added time mutli-ball!

I don't disagree. I still don't like it. You could say FPTP is also normal, but I really don't like that either. We live in a completely different time to when our parliamentary system was established, and I feel we could definitely look at changing our systems to make people feel more connected to politics, and to give parties a mandate for the things that are doing. Probably will never happen, or not for a long time but it's a forum to air thoughts, right?

Ohme are great with Octopus. I've been using an Ohme Commando socket version for 5 years. Cost < £300 back then and never had an issue. Looks like it's closer to £500 now but still way cheaper than most - https://www.electricpoint.com/ohme-go-commando-7kw-tethered-type-2-smart-ev-charger.html
