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!

Very sorry to hear this. Giles was a connection in the very early (and good old) days of Twitter and so well known and respected in the blawgosphere. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

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.

During the pandemic and the height of lockdown there were ones sighted on Buchanan Street that they thought had ventured out from the Necropolis!

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
A screenshot of an Android app. Text:

▲ 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.

Thanks. Looks like it now I have googled images. Thought the beak looked rather strange which might be particular to this one bird!

@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?
