So sorry to hear that. She was much loved in real and virtual life, and brought cheer to her virtual friends in the pandemic.
Yes but were they Archers?
If I've understood correctly, calling it "AI" is a bit of a stretch - it's a data analysis comparing against schools which are otherwise "similar". With no transparency as to the algorithm. Remember the fiasco with estimated exam grades during the pandemic?
Probably, I was there for a talk and to check out the coffee.
Congratulations - and on the new job at Kings. Have you met Mike Cook yet - also doing cool AI things

Love the buttons - (and the rest obvs ;+))
I think it is a short-EARED owl, not a short-haired one..
Wasn't it great - sorry I couldn't find you to say hi. You were fantastic - and several people around me really liked your "phlogiston" analogy.
Good!
Congratulations Richard - a recognition of your role, as Bodley's Librarian, and also as a public intellectual standing up for the importance of libraries in difficult times around the world.
No idea why bluesky showed me this, but the picture takes me back to the 1950s we'd troop up there from Cradley Primary for school dinners. (At the time the Primary School was in a Victorian building round the corner, now moved elsewhere and the site used for housing).
There is a wood library in the Oxford Department of Plant Sciences...
Hmm, so do they ban applications by medics to medical charities like Wellcome, who do not pay overheads?

Got it ;+)
I agree this statement is stupid but I can't see it in the article
Also crisps. Is there a crisp angle?

Nice picture!
Ben Hope, surely.
Such sad news.
I'm bemused by Scotland's "Secret" Bunker in Fife - so "secret" that CND were regularly outside protesting in the '60s, apparently. And how do you dig a hole that big in a fairly busy rural area without someone wondering...
Ugh
Wow! I rose to the giddy heights of an apron decorated with cross-stitch..
"So now I'm drafting a whole new pattern block from scratch." Crikey, this sounds like quite a project... and not something we did in my school needlework class
Poor you! I am in Wadham today which is a little island surrounded by the race. (cf Wapping /London Marathon)
Just visited Bayeux which is amazing - can one cite a contemporaneous tapestry commissioned by the winner? W shipped a lot of horses across La Manche, apparently. The arrow in the eye is a later bit of editing, apparently, to reflect the belief that this was the traditional fate of traitors.
