Polite AI
Had a conversation with Google AI asking about an API and it provided me with wrong information. I was trying to find out where the location information had gone which was present in API v1 but not v2. So I told it the info was wrong and it came up with a bit more b*llocks until finally... -

And the decline continues
Also the York Cold War Bunker is an interesting visit:) -
Now we're going back to the 1970s
Your Russia points are good but we need to be able to look after ourselves in the new world Jungle full of forces that would relieve us of our protectorates and other interests. We also can't play if we don't have the muscle to survive. Living together peacefully isn't going to happen as history... -

I recently rewatched Reilly, Ace of Spies on Prime, fantastic series, he was a good actor, RIP. -
retirement age
I'm retiring at 75 or when no one will pay for my software anymore, but the OAP is useful extra cash:glasses 75 because I'll probably need to take it easier with increasing decrepitude by then and you have to pull your private pensions then anyway at 75. Then it'll be a lock up and go and... -
Something Must Be Done
Children don't need smartphones and if they need to be tracked then simply sew an air tag into their clothes. This ban won't work and takes us more down the big brother route with facial recognition being suggested as a security gate. Everyone including kids will just use a VPN and then they'll... -

Hello, it's been a while
Much like myself 30 years ago and still going strong:glasses What's your target market? -
What AI do you use
The good thing about AI is there will be loads of work in the future fixing buggy and downright failed stuff with fewer people able to do the fixing due to dumbed down AI skills. I asked Google recently for a summary of a large local authority contract that failed but it thought it was brill and... -

Who needs foreign climes?
Taken this morning on a walk around the local lanes, no tourists, no queues, quiet and peaceful and not yet too hot, but the home office aircon has just gone for the first time this year :happy -
summer holiday plans
Off to Cornwall soon for a week with friends returning via Bristol to visit the SS Great Britain as we saw its mast in the Falklands earlier this year as part of an Antartica cruise :happy Then later in the summer doing a fly drive to Slovenia and a few more cruises before the end of the year... -
State Pension Affordability
Quite likely, and equally there are people who see the UK as an easily milked honeypot and/or aren't interested in the UK beyond that. We even have some indigenous folk who have a weird hatred of all things British. I think the vast majority though are passionately interested in a successful... -
State Pension Affordability
Make work pay by changing the benefits system from income for nothing to income for something, including pensions. There's plenty of work just a lack of willingness to organise for it and do it. Some sort of national service is required even if its education based and local government has to...
