Pinkster Gin supplied us one of their promotional mannequins, which has been installed in the Inksterplex. It matches our pink reception chairs and is the perfect place to drape one of our court gowns. It contains an emergency Gin & Tonic kit. Which could be essential after a hard day in court!

Your periodic reminder that LLMs are incapable of "understanding" anything and that it is all a function of "self working card trick" of language probabilities; it just generates likely sounding bullshit. Sometimes that likely sounding bullshit is accurate because likely sounding things often are.

I made an app. play.google.com/store/apps/d... Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby. I hope it's useful for someone. Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple github.com/yjeanrenaud/... It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making

▲ Nearby Glasses

Smart Glasses are probably nearby
Device: Unknown
RSSI: -42 dBm
Reason: Meta Company ID (0x058E)
Company: Meta Platforms, Inc.

This app notifies you when smart glasses are nearby. It uses company identificators in the Bluetooth data sent out by these. Therefore, there likely are false positives (e.g. from VR headsets). Hence, please proceed with caution when approaching a person nearby wearing glasses. They might just be regular glasses, despite this app's warning.

@chrisdaleoxford.bsky.social Can you identify this bird? - Saw it in Glasgow yesterday and unsure what it is. Quite big and looks as though only its lower bill is yellow?

Surely no one ever has said we will tariff you until you let us take another country. The boot should be on the other foot: If you invade that country we will sanction you like you have never been sactioned before. Perhaps sanctions should be imposed unless and until that threat is removed?

“At a time when polarization is so amped up, aphorisms can serve as psychological circuit breakers, interrupting our comfortable assumptions and prodding us to open our minds, unclench our fists, and think for ourselves,” James Geary argues:

Aphoristic Intelligence Beats Artificial Intelligence

It’s not just okay for some things in life to be hard—it’s essential.

Hey Scottish Employment Lawyers! Is Scotland Practice Direction No 1 issued in December 2006 still in force? If not, where do I find direction or guidance (if it exists) on disclosure?

I'm listening in on the Perkins Coie hearing in DDC. (I made it onto the call!) Judge Howell is just recapping where everything is at - 3 pending motions, she hasn't ruled on sections 2 and 4 previously, so she's going to focus on that.
