  4. Enjoyed seeing #SkatingPolly in #Sheffield this month, ably supported by @spafftheband@twitter - who delightfully deployed _that_ Boris Johnson sample. Disgusting/delicious. I hope all injuries have been recovered from, thanks for giving us a full show despite everything.

  5. Home from a painful experience at the dentist.

    No, nothing wrong with my teeth. They had Hallmark on the TV screens and country music on the muzak. Despite that torture, they wouldn't anesthetize me!

  7. Do you remember the Pokémon Go craze a few years ago? Now, its players are getting scammed by the game's maker, Niantic. The company has jumped onto the AI bandwagon and is selling player data -- all those locations they sent you to, and all those photos you dutifully took are being fed into AI training.

    If you're sick of hearing about Large Language Models (LLMs), get ready for Large Geospatial Model (LGM) hype!

    Currently, it appears to be at the stage where Niantic has had dreams of monetisation, put up a "For Sale" sign, spaffed a bunch of AI hype on their website, and baited a trap to get the gullible with a bunch of techy sounding keywords such AI and Augmented Reality (see attached screenshot).
    Will it cost a lot of money? Yes.
    Will it burn a lot of electricity and cause a lot of pollution? Yes.
    Will it amount to anything useful?
    No, I don't think so.

  12. @spaf It must be flying though... Which is not that much of a requirement, I guess. A simple #Trebuchet will make just about anything fly.

  15. A five minute race at Spa-Francorchamps.

    The number 10 car, whose bumper I staring at most of the race, was a right bastard. 😁 What he did at the end of lap 2 and also at the bus stop in lap 3 were meh. His Aston Martin definitely had more straight-line speed than my Lexus.

    Still, I started P5 and finished P4 with no spinning out.

    All billed to the NHS, wasn't it? The thieving #Tory bastards 😡

  21. throwback to 2019, when we were invited to belgium to the 6h classic races in spa-francochamps by the count von faber-castell. you will always get a stupid grin on my face when something loud on four wheels is involved. and believe me, those beasts were loud af. #classiccars #6hspa #spafrancochamps #belgium #grafvonfabercastell

  22. Speaking on a panel at a conference this morning, with my recent book coauthors. I am presenting on a topic I talked about at the same venue in 1998. They weren't ready for it back then. Maybe now.

    This is a pattern throughout my career. I get ideas of things that need to be done (or avoided), and people nod politely, then ignore me until a decade later when suddenly -- aha!

    Too bad my talent doesn't extend to stock picks and roulette games.
