Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

I too was impressed with my Dyson for the first 5 years, but it died immediately after the 5-yr guarantee expired. And I also refuse to give my hard-earned cash to a Brexit freak.

I have put a sharpie in my wife's handbag, just in case we meet anyone famous. Autographs in a cheap Biro look rubbish.

Monitors! You had it lucky In the basement of my halls there was an old teletype. It was not on the booking system and very few people knew it was there, so even when an assignment was due, you could probably get online. It also had ticker tape - very handy if you wanted to share some code secretly.

We tried that and discovered the 3rd from last DVD in the set was only in German. Really trashed the vibes.

On the topic of sign language, I'm not sure about this one, but I'm guessing it means 'Nazi'

And the more I learn about the Kennedys, the less I like them. Neither Bobby nor JFK were 'honorable' men.

how about "incredible" ? 1. impossible to believe. 2. difficult to believe; extraordinary. 3. lacking in credibility

Tories need 100 MP (out of 120-ish) nominations to select Tory leadership candidate(s). But only 15% of their MPs (i.e. 19) need to send letters to the 1922 committee to request a new leader. ...assuming the 1922 committee still has any elected MPs.

I says something that I have never even heard of some of the "big-name" Tory losses, but I certainly enjoyed hearing Liz and Jacob are now former MPs.

Morning. I took the day off so I could celebrate the election and after 3 coffees and a red bull, my dog is going to have to walk really fast today. Still almost 2 hours until the pubs open...

In the UK tech sector only about 5% even acknowledge they received your application. You're never told you weren't selected (just have to assume, having heard nothing.) Even if you got interviews, they won't tell you you didn't get the job (in case their preferred candidate doesn't accept) B****rds
