  1. Ours is closed, tung & groove, detail is the same though. If the drops are long you need a gap at the joins. I am hoping we don't need them.
  2. You might see it that way BUT there is very little research I have seen that shows that people without any coding skills can drive LLM code developers successfully - ie taking the basic output of requirements engineering, in English if you like, and just expecting a fully worked solution. So I speculate that what we have is apparent, stress apparent, productivity improvements for the coders that are left but where that productivity as measured by the normal metrics is coming out much less than expectations and that may in the medium term, because of maintainability, be even less. This is not to say I would advise cutting back on LLM coding but rather seeing it for what it is - more of a challenge than expected as it is now. The advent of more " agentic" LLM coding along the road Codex seems to be heading will change the perspective again. Anyways it's all good clean fun and I am off for cream cakes and lashings of ginger beer - tallyho.
  3. Could be - but at least I am following the manufacturers recommendations so I should be able to have some comeback if it does not work. This is the drawing I will be following in spirit at least.
  4. Probably lots more to come, scuttlebut on the street is that complex system coding with LLMs is not as effective a professional team almost no matter how much compute you apply the directional control takes vast amounts of work, the smells are far greater, the code is much more complex - longer and much harder to maintain and it looks like you are finding similar challenges.
  5. The download speed is often throttled by the server supplying the data so it can serve many clients at once and not your network speed.
  6. Cricky there is more - a group in Japan build a .125mm glass fibre with 8 cores enclosed in its diameter they managed to crack the Peta bits per second barrier.
  7. PPPS Nope that looks like a PR error with the date - they published the news on 1st April - not a good look but the research was presented in March so 450 million times stands!
  8. PPS that was published on the first of April which may or may not be significant 🤔
  9. PS Just found a piece of research that shows a group at UCL pushing a domestic fibre to 450million times the domestic speed.
  10. I think the max theoretical speed of a domestic fibre is probably limitless but exploiting all the light bands tera byte speeds would be easy. The limits are imposed by what is on the end of the fibre. So splitting is not a problem but it would result in active hardware being out in the field and that's a problem of power although PV and batteries might solve that one for remote locations.
  11. We have purchased this with our cladding and they estimated 16 rolls, our cladding is vertical, I did the calcs and got a couple of rolls less but stuck with the estimate. We are not using their battening system as we don't have the depth. Instead I will make up some custom notched battens that create the air gap at the back, have the top slope and allow the use of the Kompefix on the front face.
  12. That's why they pay teachers so much, not, because making the obvious obvious is not at all simple - learning styles, language skills, neuro diversity, prior skills, current capabilities and much more are all factors to be taken into account - and that's just the learner.
  13. Are there no downsides to not signing off - can you claim the VAT back from there.
  14. Can you maneuver a wheel in & out the end of that run?
  15. We are just having a fan coil unit (FCU) in each bedroom run from the Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP), those and the cooling in the under floor heating (UFH) pipes should, I calculate, be enough although I can add a heat / cool battery in the mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system (MVHR) if I need to.
