Very sorry to hear this. Giles was a connection in the very early (and good old) days of Twitter and so well known and respected in the blawgosphere. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
If only we actually had such technology!
Your periodic reminder that LLMs are incapable of "understanding" anything and that it is all a function of "self working card trick" of language probabilities; it just generates likely sounding bullshit. Sometimes that likely sounding bullshit is accurate because likely sounding things often are.

Very interesting thread on Harvey and the legal tech industry in general from a researcher and developer.
An anagram of "Triumphal" is "Hail Trump" (not quite Heil, but...).
Happy Easter from a rather snowy Glasgow!

Duke of Wellington Statue, Glasgow with one cone on his head
The Guardians of the Cone have been out and order has been restored (18:47 on 28.03.26)
Duke of Wellington Statue, Glasgow (21 March 2026) with a traffic cone on his head and two traffic cones on his horse's head.
... Forgot I had taken a picture at the time. It was three cones on 21st March.
He had at least three on last week!
During the pandemic and the height of lockdown there were ones sighted on Buchanan Street that they thought had ventured out from the Necropolis!
They say they are in the Necropolis too. But never seen them there. Have you?

▲ Nearby Glasses
Smart Glasses are probably nearby
Device: Unknown
RSSI: -42 dBm
Reason: Meta Company ID (0x058E)
Company: Meta Platforms, Inc.
This app notifies you when smart glasses are nearby. It uses company identificators in the Bluetooth data sent out by these. Therefore, there likely are false positives (e.g. from VR headsets). Hence, please proceed with caution when approaching a person nearby wearing glasses. They might just be regular glasses, despite this app's warning.

I made an app.
play.google.com/store/apps/d...
Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.
I hope it's useful for someone.
Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple
github.com/yjeanrenaud/...
It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making
@scottwortley.bsky.social FYI :-)
It all looked yellow to me but there might be white in there!
Thanks. Looks like it now I have googled images. Thought the beak looked rather strange which might be particular to this one bird!
@chrisdaleoxford.bsky.social Can you identify this bird? - Saw it in Glasgow yesterday and unsure what it is. Quite big and looks as though only its lower bill is yellow?
