This is six times better. It’s now 300 people who know less than you do.

”Will”.

Wow! Skimmed now. HMRC should appeal.

That is very good advice. When I worked on deals for slightly more spivvy parts of the FS world, they had nearly always fucked up ERS somewhere. Closely followed by VAT grouping.

Not read. My guess is not - even if they could prove that they’d only charged private vehicles.

Der Telegraph.

Ah mortgages. I remember those.

It’s an excellent production. Find a ticket if you can. The ”simple” staging makes the play much more intimate and the cast is very strong. Hard to imagine that it’ll be done better any time soon.

Great story. Great book. Did you cover any SF?

Great. It’s so easy to be misunderstood on social media.

Thank you for the patronising comments.

I asked you a question to tease out why you thought using a bit of AI in coding was such a problem. It seemed a little knee-jerk/unsubtle and I was curious.

Mike - Iβ€˜m very sorry if Iβ€˜ve upset you. I really didnβ€˜t mean to and I’m well aware that I do sometimes come across as a bit of a dick. But you’ll note that I replied directly to you - politely I thought. As I said, happy to delete my posts if you prefer.

Definitely could have done with a few more episodes.

Risk exists. We can seek to mitigate - not eliminate - the most significant risks. It’s a balance. I’m guessing but perhaps the app means that thereβ€˜s better patient data or some patients find it easier to follow the exercise program. Doesn’t feel like a full clinical trial is needed in this case.

”Come after you”. Really? I asked you a pretty mild question on a coffee break. If you feel thatβ€˜s too strong then I’m happy to delete. Please let me know.

I suspect Dan’s brother can probably manage a stopwatch app under his own supervision.

Have you got any idea how much of medical practice consists of random doctors deploying non-evidence based techniques? They kill plenty patients, but rarely with apps.

I find that they’re still unpredictably bad at arithmetic so I wouldn’t rely on them for that part. But so long as you have an independent way of checking that it’s educated you correctly Iβ€˜m sure it’s better than nothing.

They still get pretty straightforward calculations wrong. So Iβ€˜d keep them for cases where nothing’s riding on it or there is an expert reviewing the work. I’d certainly stay a length or two behind the optimists.

How do you know that it taught you correctly? Did the LLM teach you how to review a set of accounts?

Shame.

So that’s why I haven’t seen him for a while. What’s Suffolk done to deserve him?

Iβ€˜ll let the dogs off the leash. Trip hazard.

Lot of baggage. I used to nod when I saw him jogging around Wanstead Park. In future I’ll blank him. That’ll show him.

That’s just capitalism, enslaving us all. Apart from me, about to start using my pension to make calls on other people’s current production, enslaving them. History repeats as the man said.

I wonder what’s really in it for Reform in the longer term to collect so many people with so much baggage.

(Biting my lip on the physics of nailing a black hole)

It's not good economics either. There is no black hole, just poor fiscal policy.

Even at the level of his supposed realism/pragmatism, prostrating before Trump is not goiung to keep the US paying for Europe's defence.

It’s already one of the most reimagined books, which should encourage people to go back to the source too I hope.
