It sounds like a successful build then, all in all! Did you go for 10 or 15 ovens?

I disagree, if it’s corrupted, then it’s broken. If you have a system where there’s redundancies and backups but they all fail due to the same issue then that’s a bad design.

Still not a fan of the HP logo. The livery is fine though.

I can see these front wings causing some carnage though!

How’d it go in the end? Did Kevin McCloud make an appearance? Did your partner get pregnant? How much over-budget were you? Did the high-tech glass from Estonia arrive?

RFK’s asking “how”, the rest of us are asking “why”.

Yep. There’s 5 test days, and the teams can use 3 of them.

Why does an AI agent need to be a virtual employee on the org chart? Are they doing something “creative” with their accounting?

RFK said that about Trump?

He loves getting a reaction out of people, good or bad. There’s no other reason for him to say or behave the way he does.

He’s proven that the “checks and balances” that the yanks loves to go on about is utter bollocks, every second this guy is president just proves how broken their system is.

It’s the upper house of parliament.

I love the juxtaposition of the ads and the content of the article (on work laptop which manages the browser & controls extensions before anyone chimes in about adblockers)

It’s not that deep lol. Do you use a washing machine?

It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve seen a new proper hot hatch!

It’s just way more convenient. I can do it at home and build up my order while doing the meal plan. Plus I don’t need to drag the kids around with me who only add to the stress.

The additional cost is negligible. We get a 6 month pass, but when you factor in fuel costs, wear and tear on the car then it’s hardly worth thinking about.

Maybe I can get a £200 million contract witht the government to implement this technology.

Lost my job

I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you find something soon!

Second oldest daughter became a Christian overnight

…I’m sorry to hear that! Hopefully it’s just a bit of a phase and doesn’t try to push things onto you.

Better late than never! I’ll try to post these each week.

I’ve worked around systems that store products in a previous job and products are usually linked via facets and categories, it’s very unlikley there’s any AI inolved. It’s probably just rules based and goes through them (what’s in stock, same product type but different brand, same brand, similar price etc).

I asked ChatGPT if it could find me an alternative product for the given supermarket and it gave a load of sensible substitutions!

Well, that would reduce the emissions emmited per person though!

To be fair, Ocado doesn’t sell itself as a cheaper alternative. But they’re definitetly more convenient. I used them for a bit towards the end of last year as I couldn’t get any slots with my usual supermarket and found they had a lot more slots. Plus they could let me know how far away the van as and quite a specific time it would arrive. We never had the issue you described with waiting ages, maybe it’s area specific.

But they’re annoying though as you can’t buy individual fruit & veg, like you said it comes in loads of plastic (this will be because of their fulfilment process using those robots).

For me it absolutetly beats going into the supermarket, I’d rather just meal plan and build up the food order at the laptop than go out and drive to the supermarket.
