If we consider planning applications, what's to stop a planning authority using AI to extract a list of relevant objections and pass that to the planning committee for consideration? Further up the chain, can't a developer anticipate objections in this way and head them off in the application?
wow - this is actually a very big deal
I took a bus into Oxford from the Redbridge P+R to the police station last night. It took 10 mins. My experience is that the journey times are shorter and the buses on time more often. I also drive in to drop people off at the station using a pass occasionally. Also much quicker. It's working well.👍
"At the end of the day it goes dark." In isolation, that reads both as banal and bleak. Perfect for Morrissey.
The EPI examined the progress made by equivalent cohorts in grammar & fully comprehensive schools. They found similar progress or possibly grammar was slightly worse. So grammars don't even provide a measurable academic benefit to their students. There is no rational argument for bringing them back.
Introducing my children to The Princess Bride during one of the Covid lockdowns: Fezzik: "Why do you wear a mask?". Man in Black:" they are terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.". That raised a few laughs.
For the youngest it was planned because of fears of a repeat. That was a much calmer process. I've not looked at the data, but I'd expect planned to have much better outcomes than emergency for obvious reasons. In my family's experience C-sections are a vital tool for docs to have at their disposal.
I have seen the difference with an emergency C-section for my eldest and a planned one for my youngest. An emergency one is not done lightly and in my experience was proposed when one or both of the mother and child's life were at risk. It was roughly 30 mins from the decision to the delivery.
All lampposts to have a Union Flag or cross of St George (preferably both). Flogging for anyone removing them, flying a Union Flag upside down or flying the Union Flag below the St George's Cross.
Over 2 years on (long story) and we finally got to use our newly installed induction hob and 5 ply John Lewis stainless steel pans. Both have been a revelation. The pans are particularly good - cook evenly and clean very easily. Thank you for the recommendation.
Something like teen fiction book titles? Perhaps that's not separated out as a genre as far back as 1950, so maybe something that heavily overlaps like fantasy book titles?
A chart of detrended labour data due to A.I. with transportation and warehousing and information ranking most highly in time saved
Good summary of the paper on AI and productivity going round, and OH BOY I'd watch that rise in productivity in Information services like a hawk. What use is more information if it's probably subtly wrong. (Also amirite that some of those labels are missing?) giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
It looks like the paper referenced below the graphic contains a full set of labels. I'd guess the problem was introduced when the FT took the data and combined two data sets. Interesting early data though that needs to be treated with caution.
I took a bus into Oxford yesterday. It used to take 25 mins+ from the Redbridge P+R to the city centre. Yesterday: less than 10 mins. It's consistently quicker now, buses run to timetable without delays and footfall in the major shopping centre is up. Only car nuts seem to have a problem with it.
So the Lords think no one under 18 should be able to do a job that requires VPN usage or access public WiFi securely or bank ATMs? www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-priv...
I had a flat tyre and couldn't get the wheel off to change it, phoned the roadside assistance and explained the issue. I was passed to a call handler who said "I hear you have a problem with tight nuts".
Oxfordshire County Council are doing this. 4000 new trees by 2028.
I saw a familiar face across Trafalgar Square. Tried to catch his eye in the hope he'd recognise me and that would remind me how I knew him. He walked straight past me without acknowledgement. When I was about 20 yards beyond him, I realised it was Neil Kinnock who I've never met before or since.
We must maintain a cattle-proof fence. That sort of makes sense as it's farmland behind, but with 500 houses being built on that land (2 of which will back onto ours), it's going to look awfully strange in future.
"Pipped"?
I'm about 5 miles from where he used to live in Goring on Thames. There are loads of local stories of his generosity. Here's one: www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/1499742...
I'm 92 (actually 59). I think it's because I listened to a bit of Tom Lehrer when he died in July.
Ours got re-banded a couple of year or so ago (14 years after we bought it). It was the only band D house amongst similar properties that were all Band E. We got moved up to Band E. I suspect it had been turned up by some sort of automated search for anomalies like that.
Just run it against the planning application you're about to submit and it will tell you which holes you need to plug. Could be used by both sides and the end result could be faster planning decisions if there are no valid grounds for objection.
I suppose they think it's better to have him inside the tent at the moment and that promising him rewards that he can never achieve does that. The risk is that he takes ever more insane gambles to hit those targets. They must be confident they can jettison him when it all starts to blow up though.
And also if they are valued enough by their employer. I've seen a lot of redundancy amongst former colleagues in their mid to late 50s. Some voluntary, some not. Also radicalising...
Of course this is less relevant at the younger end if GenX which highlights why such a broad age range may not be a good unit of analysis.
It's those whose sense of self was wholly embodied in their jobs who seem lost. They appear prone to radicalisation in either direction whether by Telegraph Comment writers, Facebook groups or X (OK those 3 definitely lean right, not left).
I'm an older GenXer (59). I think part of the turn to the right is about loss of status as people confront the brutal truth that they were entirely expendable to their employer. Those with post-work projects, volunteering roles, strong family and friendship groups etc are fine.
There will never be a second winner because no one would accept such a tainted prize. Well maybe Infantino would...
