I was worried about you in your last post - I still am, you need to someone not talk to something! You are clearly getting in deep - well beyond coding support and into emotional support - and I thought that was our job and you have no idea how dismayed I, and perhaps many fellow members, was to find that we are being cast aside for a machine that just spits out tokens on the basis of probabilities.

I think the 30mm will be reduced by: This is still going to be a problem unless you: Get a long range charger: This guide will help - https://invisqi.com/blogs/all-about-qi/quartz-countertop-wireless-charging-guide Get the recess so that only about 10-12mm of the quartz remains between the charger and the phone.

Ah, perhaps not a sensible assumption - it seems that your GPT (LLM) is not telling you about the self attention (is all you need - where all these machines spawn their approach from) 'quadratic bottle neck' it is trying to manage in helping you. If you double the context you effectively quadruple the compute needed to handle it so stuffing your context window with the problems you created with the last stuffing is effectively melting the planet and means that 5.6 won't sort a 5.5 generated mess because the whole thing is an exothermic reaction of sorts (compute runaway) . It creates problems and in trying to sort them it creates 4 times the problem unless you can tail the context back at every step - not easy because you a creating something which is growing. You will have already found that bigger contexts have interesting effects on the attention between tokens, it starts to weaken the connections between them - the LLM effectively has a weaker grip on the whole context. You can help by reiterating important stuff in the context / prompts (teachers will know all about the power or reiteration in learning situations). You can read more here.

I have been an SQL server & MYSQL user until about a month ago when one of my students was showing me some work they were doing on a knowledge hub with Postgres and I thought I should give it a go for my next mini project idea and I found it very good all kinds of ways the pgAdmin software is excellent.

I did try to say! 🙄 No, not the way I discussed above - for single cables, much tougher for multiple. Just cut a square of EPDM (0.7mm) punch a hole just smaller than the diameter of the cable (or its smallest dimension for the flat stuff - invention of the devil) then just pull the cable through the hole and tape the square of EPDM to the airtight layer

You need to get a proper workstation else you will do your back in.

Then all will be well - except! You need to think about how the cables come through the airtight layer as you will need to make that interface airtight as well. I used some squares of EPDM with hole punched through smaller than the cable then pushed the cable through and sealed the EPDM to the airtight membrane once it was installed - it does mean pushing the cable through the airtight membrane so you need the end free to do it.

The is very good- why is it so good, what insights can you give us into getting that good? Our COP was all over the place until I let it settle at 16oC today we are getting above 3.4 at the moment I will keep an eye on it and we where it goes 7 is miles off.

Interesting stuff Gus, The challenge is the pipework, we have 25mm insulation around nearly all our pipework - not sure how much condensation is forming on the pipework beneath that but our Underfloor Heating (UFH) manifold is not insulated and that is my tell tale. Humidity is hovering around 46%.

I have had ours at 16oC for a couple of days. It have brought the slab temp down, at 15 we get the faintest of condensation on the manifold at 14 it drips off!

How do they know it is battery export, do they have some sort of local monitoring? More importantly does that mean that the GAS based generators, and everybody else because of the contracts system, are getting £1+ for every kWh they generate at specific times?

It is still coming through the fabric of the house so maybe it's picking up heat from the ductwork etc?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

PPS that was published on the first of April which may or may not be significant 🤔

PS Just found a piece of research that shows a group at UCL pushing a domestic fibre to 450million times the domestic speed.

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.

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.

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.

Are there no downsides to not signing off - can you claim the VAT back from there.
