It’s not quite September and Morrisons already have a Christmas section.

Fairly sure Pete Hegseth is talking bollocks here. The General Belgrano was sunk by submarine torpedoes during the Falklands War in 1982.

I've been messing about getting a Raspberry Pi 5 working with the new AI+ 2 HAT, which uses a Hailo 10 GPU. The results are much quicker than letting the CPU do the work (no surprise), but the output from the first LLM model I chose has been, ahem, less than accurate.

What’s the best way to Cockfosters? Serve it in a warm glass. Thank you Paul Hogan circa 1990s.

The Royal Mail "assistant" is total garbage. I'm trying to track a parcel that should have been delivered days ago. The "AI assistant" simply regurgitates links to their website. It's basically internal website search for idiots. Is this what AI is expected to deliver? (no pun intended)

Last week we visited the refurbished Battersea Power Station. It’s mainly a shopping centre now but has quite a buzz and some OK restaurants (and a lot of flats).

Sage Online seems to be down - can't access from any device or any network (e.g. broadband/mobile). Is there a wider problem I wonder?

When you're quoting the amenities of your hotel on your website, do customers care that 80% of your lightbulbs are LEDs? Not a typical "amenity". Also how useful to have compostable stirrers, but not top of my list....

Fairly easy to guess which is the cooking wine today and which is the drinking wine!

First time playing Padel this morning. Interesting mix of tennis & squash. Relatively expensive, but entertaining!

One is real, one is fake! It’s fairly obvious which! Real chilli is from this year’s crop (Hungarian Long).

Temperature’s rising… I also want to say “barometer’s getting low” but that’s a different thing. Thanks Weather Girls for that earworm. :-)

Compared to earlier in the week (torpedo mould)

Today’s sourdough effort. Think it might be a little underbaked.

Found my old squash rackets. Haven’t played in literally decades.

Incidentally, Cornwall was amazing. Here are pictures of St Mike's Mount and the Minack Theatre, well worth a visit.

The start of the communications era in Porthcurno that has culminated with the Internet. Ironically, I had zero mobile service anywhere in the vicinity. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Absolutely. Been saying "I Heart New York" for years.

Perhaps you’ve chosen the wrong company name if you need to remind people you’re not just about batteries.

Another quality Amazon delivery. This is what I was greeted with when opening my front door. A shelf for further parcel deliveries!!

So I could have been at Excel today….

Why isn’t this man wearing a suit? Does he own a suit?

Are you sure that all these Duffs, er I mean Cuffs are unique and distinctive?

For all you pensioners that didn’t get the winter fuel allowance, here are some book recommendations from Bill Gates that you could burn instead.

More interesting perhaps, are the underlying statistics, such as the data on AHV adoption, which now sits at 74% of all licensed cores on a 4-quarterly average. As the graph shows, the adoption of AHV has been growing steadily since the adoption data was reported in Q1 FY2017.

And here is pizza made tonight with the sourdough as a base. With homemade tomato sauce base.

I periodically try LLMs as a content source. Every time (with Claude) I am disappointed that the results are generally incorrect. There's a long way to go for AI to be 100% trustworthy.

Our local church. It's right next door to the house that's referenced in "Country House" by Blur.

This little chap keeps leaving his monkey nuts in our garden. Not who is feeding the squirrels, but I'm sure they don't pop to Sainsbury's for their nuts.

Looks like HPE has finally taken the plunge and started to resell its own object store - however is the product X1000 or X10000, HPE itself doesn't seem to know....

Somewhat phallic weather warning from the BBC tonight.

The golf course sure is a beautiful place at this time of year. The trees are just changing colour, looking especially lovely with the oranges and reds. Greens look pretty good too! 😆

OK, I shared some of my recent reading on LinkedIn. May as well share it here!
