A brick cottage at the end of a hedge-lined driveway. Hard to identify from resolution of the picture if anything Tudor survives.
The only potentially surviving part of the Tudor building is the gatehouse, though this was rebuilt in the C18th.

When I clicked 'reply' I was planning to applaud such a brilliantly chosen example of his genius. But then I remembered Arabian Nights. And Happy House. And Israel. And Christine.

If what you're after is superb tea that doesn't put a foot wrong ethically, you truly cannot do better than Williamson.

The whole range is flawless but the English Breakfast is the very best builders-type cuppa I've ever had. And I say that as a Yorkshireman.

Thank you so much for introducing me to this. After a little bit of search, there is also SO MUCH MORE

But also, I'd echo what @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social said: if you don't enjoy lovingly gardening and inspecting your data, maybe this whole thing isn't really for you.
Script output should be deterministic. Hallucinations by definition arent.
tldr: If you want to use an LLM get it to *code a script* to clean the data for you (which doesn't itself call an LLM).
Otherwise, eg for classification tasks perform iterated runs for sanity checks and/or check manually.
Jury still out what I'd trust an LLM with but rule #1 of data cleaning is never do it ad hoc.
Whether human or LLM when cleaning data you should always write a script to do it, because: reproducibility. Careful scrutiny of the script should offer (hopefully substantial) protection against errors.
How did they make the exterior look so much like a circa-2003 Sketchup render?
Oh im so thick, sorry. thank you. EPIC. I
Love this to bits. Do you have a reference for it?
Pan-cake is clearly the philosophical view that cake is inherent in everything.
Contrast: emergentist accounts e.g. Berry, Lawson, Hollywood which propose that cake is a threshold property achieved only in sufficiently complex aggregates of non-cake matter.
Yaaaaaay!
I have shelved all other plans for the rest of the evening. So much more I want to know about all these people and their lives!
AMAZING. Thank you. Can't wait.
Seriously this is such great, great work. I wish I was like even 1/100th this cool.
Great UI; code & data available: exemplary.
Fascinating to track the trajectories of serial offenders over their careers - e.g. Edward Duncombe's migration Westwards... (Fleet Street -> Holborn -> Drury Lane / Oxford Street -> St. Martin’s Lane) or William Ward's slide from West End to the fringes
Im afraid you may have just nailed the origin story for AI.
Every day is a new humbling as you discover whole new subfields you ought to have known about all along. Every day thickens the despair ever of mastering anything at all.
Seriously, I am truly sorry to have posted in haste. As I say, everybody makes mistakes.
I shall trouble you no further. Have a better evening.
I do regret the sourness. Bad moment. The best of us have them when provoked. Mea culpa. Sorry.
But language is a moving thing, right. This is about usage, not understanding and blanket rule-making about that feels... hasty.
But I do regret my discourtesy so have deleted my post.
Didn't have time to browse the rest of your feed but we certainly agree on ICE fwiw. Have a better day.
Sorry about that.
Had to be Fountains of Neptune - libraries: art of the possible. I cackled aloud more than once at how uncannily perceptive a recommendation it was. Thank you. (One recalls Angela Carter's magnificent "Okay, I write overblown, purple, self-indulgent prose. So fucking what?")
Davis you're up next.
.…and this week's transcribery was going so much better. Then a bunch of 30 Dutch artisans rock up with names my English scribe - perhaps unclear that yodeling is not in fact Dutch - clearly felt needed ALL the vowels. Van der Breeouese? Plz.
Godzijdank for www.cbgfamilienamen.nl/nfb/index.ph...
Fascinating. Thank you.
I stand by my suspicion of vowels - you plant a vowel in your nice tidy alphabet and before you know it it's budding off some weird new consonant.
💯. mind remains blown.
going to get myself in hot water, because I don't read Arabic or Hebrew (the former not for lack of trying but argh) but is the lack of vowels also a factor? Vowels seem like chaos agents if anything is!
I should just wait patiently for the paper but I'm fascinated. Sorry!
