At the New Kirkgate Shopping Centre. Your blinkered hostility to motorists *doubled* my journey time home. As someone who is disabled and has a chronic health condition which limits my energy "active travel" and even public transport are not viable options for me on low energy days like today.

Congratulations Edinburgh City Council, thanks to your ill-concieves Hostile Environment Policy against the city's motorists and your ill-concieved alterations to Great Junction Street and Henderson Terrace, I spend over 10 minutes stuck in mostly stationary traffic attempting to exit the car park

Nick explaining how Building Atlas can use it's knowledge base to help customers make successful applications for updates to building and how it can make useful inferences based on historic applications as to the likelihood of future applications. Very clever stuff.

Excited about the possibilities of using Neuromorphic Photonics for AI workloads to reduce energy usage. @codebasetech.bsky.social @giuliasnlworld.bsky.social
A slide about Neuromorphic Photonics explaining how using photons instead of electrons to process AI workloads can reduce the energy consumption for AI workloads by allowing the processing to take place in memory rather than having to shuttle back and forth between memory and the CPU/NPU/GPU

A message from Stornoway to Diaper Don. Scotland wants nothing to do with your nonsense. #slavaukraini #istandwithukraine #resist #Stornoway #democracy
A picture of a cream coloured roughcast house in Stornoway Harbour with a Ukranian flag on it and a banner which reads "Shame on you Donald John #democracy". Donald John is a reference to American president Donald Trump, who has Lewis connections through his Mother's side of the family.
