Just overheard a loud guy in Soho House having what I assume was a business meeting. "Circle back, do a deep dive and pressure test the idea. Pivot if you have to, and we can touch base offline." I have absolutely no idea what the meeting was about, but they put a "pin" in it.
Nerve wracking stuff...
There’s a rather significant design flaw in this AI image of Trajan’s harbour.
Imagine keeping a city of one million people fed using only wooden ships, brick warehouses, and sheer political willpower. The Roman grain supply, the annona, was an engineering and logistical marvel that kept the empire from collapsing into famine and riots. From the massive
From what I can tell, he sees the bear coming, but is a long way from his car, so adopts the recommended 'do not move' advice in this circumstance. Brave dude, as he remains still even after being nipped. See the closing of the car allows his escape. Phew!
Dude has zero awareness of his surroundings at all! I feel a fly land on me and I flinch! 😳😳😳
When you notice ‘please’ is in decline you spot its absence everywhere. A few times I even found myself having to hastily add it because somehow what’s filtered throughout society seems to be a tendency to ask nicely, still say thank you, but omit the please. We have to save it!

And while we are on conspiracy theories; I had another conversation with that insipid #Grok program and it agreed (after denying it) that it’s only there to placate people. The mis/disinformation it creates from conjecture and Reddit postings and presents them as facts is boggling. I saw a post yesterday that when I went to investigate was absolutely wrong. When I confronted the program and pointed out the flaws it said it would correct itself and I had nothing further to worry about. Then I had a friend today while he was driving his Tesla ask Grok (which comes with the car) the exact same question and Grok answered exactly the same giving the wrong information. When I went back to Grok today it finally revealed that it cannot learn at all and that it’s programmed to appease you (and lie to you to assure you it is learning when it cannot.) It cannot even fill in a support ticket to let the developers know the issues so it can learn to give correct answers. When I asked what could be done; it said to send an email to [email protected] (which after I asked if real people answer it; Grok said it’s AI and would take a lot to get to an actual Human.) I find that a bit disappointing that it appeases but cannot correct mistakes and uses crazy people’s diatribes on Reddit, X, blogs and weirdly enough lawsuit filings. It mixes them together and presents amalgamated conjecture as facts that people will believe but have no basis in truth.😵💫🤯 #fixgrokordumpit
Pub unveils huge Jodrell Bank mural as campaign grows to save iconic telescope manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-…
A moody morning spent at Three Cliffs Bay. This place is incredible!
Wednesday. Cat has just gone out. For her second run. After her second breakfast. There is not a second to spare. For facilitator. Busy facilitator. Who is now eating his breakfast. Crumpet. And marmite. Yum!
And WTF is not 'What? That's fabulous!' ??
‘SOS’ is NOT an acronym for “save our souls.” ‘Golf’ is NOT an acronym for “gentlemen only, ladies forbidden.” ‘Posh’ is NOT an acronym for “port out, starboard home.” ‘News’ is NOT an acronym for “north, east, west, south,’ OR “notable events, weather, sports.”
Pfff. You young whippersnappers and your fancy machines. I run Kimi K3 locally, the old fashioned way: with pencil and paper, one matrix multiplication at a time.
People who make stuff on social media to enrage - I've started calling them 'confectioners'. Their contributions 'confectionary'. Diminishes it.
The announced closure of the UK's largest telescope at Jodrell Bank is only a small part of the cuts in UK physics
There is something uncanny, even eerie about the British countryside in the heat: the heaviness, the stillness, the vitality all burned away...
It was so much better in the past #2391...

It might be surprising to some people but you can find absolute masterpieces of ancient Islamic architecture in China. We're currently visiting the 17th century Afaq Khoja Mausoleum in Kashgar, the family tomb of the Afaq Khoja dynasty of Sufi leaders. This place is extremely famous in China not only for the architecture, but because of Iparhan, a Uyghur woman from this family, who became a legendary concubine of Qianlong, the 18th century Qing emperor. Her name in Chinese is "Xiang Fei" (see her statue in the last picture), which literally means "fragrant concubine" because, legend has it, her body naturally exuded a fragrance so much so that it attracted butterflies. In any case, this place, her family's mausoleum is typically considered the most representative masterpiece of Islamic architecture in Xinjiang - and looking at it, I understand why!
However impressive you think D-Day was, you’re underestimating it.
