Really struggling to understand prediction markets.
Someone putting $1m on both markets would be up at least $80,000 in 24hrs. It can't work like that.
Presumably there are no rational participants and quotes are manipulative positions that would collapse if anyone tried.
Regular reminder on the walk back from the pub last night that Herdwicks are the SAS of feral sheep.
Some poor soul will no doubt be wondering how the cam stones they just bust a tyre on ended up in the middle of the road this morning.
This is insane @metpoliceuk.
I get that it makes no sense to have an officer sit in a room through 10+ hours of video to possibly detect a crime, but the commercial cost of getting this done by focussed humans (poss with AI assist) has to be about £5... https://t.co/uJpZ9jeXy3
On the bus on the way to "work' this morning. Doesn't get any better than this
I imagine everyone who needs to know this already does but, just in case...
Why it will be a while before we see the #OpenAI speech-to-speech model being deployed at scale...
Building a (presumably) WebRTC infrastructure to sink hundreds of millions of hours a month of media streams into stateful processors is non-trivial.

This is fairly surreal. Did contemplate asking them if they knew the snowpiercer theme tune.
Ruby enjoyed the polling station being a decent walk away #DogsAtPollingStations
A ~5-year old embedded kiosk application built on Windows and TeamViewer. There really is no hope for the world is there? https://twitter.com/0xMatt/status/1806951740153205015

This.
If your computer systems deliver corporate emails to employees in their working environment which say "click on this", and your company explodes if they do, then maybe there is something a bit wrong with those systems.
How the heck did we get to this point. https://t.co/RRo6oufb9a
A phone AI thing in a field... https://www.pickering.org/emf2024/
What should I have done by now? packed everything up for @emfcamp .
What did I do instead? noticed they have a Jambonz server whilst registering my phone, which set me off down a path which means I have not started packing yet. Doh.
Practical insights from the OpenAI announcement yesterday that could be useful for folks developing audio conversation services... www.pickering.org/openai-audio-streaming-a...
TL;DR carry on building, good is about to get easier (using some platforms).
I love this analysis, very plausible. twitter.com/TheEudaimonist/status/17...
This is like painters objecting to the invention of photography, come full-circle.
AI generated pseudo images will dominate applications where people care about the aesthetic, not accuracy.
Lens based photograph providers focussing on traceable authenticity will build their own… https://t.co/SNx
Thought experiment...
Our brains are particularly badly adapted to cope with accelerating societal change at the same time as we age cognitively.
Unfortunately this change is an essential part of growth that drives our collective standard of living and the only thing that will… https://t.co/cSPn
If a disreputable organisation asks to use pictures, never say "no".
Instead say "I really don't want to be associated with you, so the cost is £1m per use which you may accept by simply using the pictures".
They will use them anyway so better to have a watertight contract 🤣 https://t.co/XPejdaDOMU
Apple pays Spotify Nothing...
Spotify has created an app at it's own expense, made more complicated & costly by Apple app store restrictions. The availability of the app drives Apple hardware purchases, producing massive revenues for them, but they pay Spotify nothing.
Discuss.
Was involved in a discussion yesterday evening about how AI can *improve* democracy. It ended up being pretty depressing. Actually something that parses and summarises every government data drop like this within minutes of release...
May have a new project for this weekend. https://t.co/DHhmvPpZ2m
Without saying anything show me how long you've been on the internet. Still on my bookshelf. Two Class Bs and a Class C against my name. twitter.com/PaulDJohnston/status/176...
When you really need this, but it would mean pulling on waterproofs and walking to Grasmere. twitter.com/faerymere/status/1758770...
If you have malicious payloads on your LAN, maybe your biggest issue may not be that some of your engineers run wireshark.
Just saying.
I don't buy this.
It would be interesting to know how many of the Fujitsu staff responsible for Horizon were BCS members and how the ethical obligations they were under via their membership played out in their conduct once under management pressure.
I have a great deal of respect… https://t.co/6
The county has nothing to do with it.
Everybody knows that the North starts somewhere around Matlock. New Mills is level with Sheffield for goodness sake. This is a fight worth fighting. https://twitter.com/GroomB/status/1757499577656091049
Love the backstory and tech behind Broadcast Bridge. Built by the folks who organise @CommConUK from their experience running a remote conference for people keeping systems running in depths of Covid.
Is there any public info on what the BBC use for their remote interviews @zsk? https://t.co/W6Y

This isn't quite the same as when Steve Jobs applied Apple UX pixie dust to the Ericsson P800 smartphone concept and punched that industry through to consumerland (on the 3rd iteration).
I have a feeling that, decades hence, kids are going to be mocking mum's Sinclair C5 moment. https://t.co/udO
Mood : improved. This week is finally getting better.
Because train travel from Euston wasn't already utterly dystopian, @nationalrailenq have found a new horror to torture travellers with. https://twitter.com/Amscreen/status/1727220031472410712
