Insurers starting to listen now - so I think they will send a loss adjuster out which is what I want .

Yeah it’s a rental . How can an insurer take 5 yrs with no result ? . Don’t worry ; I’m good at motivating companies by annoying them - it’s my special skill .

yeah but as I said drains on the opposite side of the plot . Managed to get hold of the neighbor (another LL) and his tenants have reported cracks in the same place their side - so I'm on insurers back now.

I'm going to push the insurer to supply a loss adjuster/subsidence specialist - I hope they see it's in their interest to establish cause and remedial work rather than me "try"

Thanks. Floor window cills all fine. So how do they access that party wall?. Neighbour isn't helpful as presumably they want me to sort and pay the excess whilst potentially benefitting. Lets assume the movement has stopped ; how can we be certain there wont be more?. I have monitored it for a year now doesn't appear worse. So what would/should a contractor do?

Yeah I was thinking that. But wont an SE just say "yes subsidence" , cctv down drain to eliminate that as potential cause i.e. collapsed; and then tell me to get a professional subsidence company in? The most likely reason is ground shrinkage - as the entire area is mainly on clay. But how do you "get under" a shared wall that isn't directly accesible ?

Nope they've had zero work

of note (maybe) there is a drain running under the property (front to back) but thats on the opposite wall

TBH even with recent photo's it looks pretty much the same. I notice on the landing ceiling some obvious damp so maybe render cracked on roof? The main cracks are on a shared wall with neighbour i.e. terraced house. So even with resin how do they fix that? Going to have to get insurance involved for 1K excess ... What I dont want really is subsidence fixed 1k poorer and then I still need a roofer/plasterer and decorator!

I posted about this property a while ago. It has got worse. So really need recommendations. Not keen to google, click 'n' hope. I see lots of "resin" fixes this viable? ta

Videos coming ! I’m away at the moment so getting Claude remotely to add new features and send me videos .

Yes I know it’s “ generic “ but it’s obvious ( too me ) that these things can and will be solved via llm / AI and within our lifetimes ( subject to how long either of us live of course ! )

Just imagine cancer cured ! (expletive deleted) me that’s a big one ! . Onward then to every other main disease etc then maybe dementia etc . That’s (expletive deleted)ing A star stuff

Looks like Astra has made 3d artists redundant now ! . Staggering examples . No programmers , no artists - Chuck in seedance no movie makers . Can’t imagine what will get just 6 months from now !

Lol. I had a problem with a opus session - it wasn't doing what I wanted. Told the Boss session and it sorted it out. As I'm doing optimisations decided to get multiple Fable sessions up to look at different aspects. As timings are critical can only have 1 at a time using the m3 for rendering. To avoid messing each other up they have coordinated themselves . Each asked how long the other sessions needed. They all then scheduled themselves i.e. "I'll wait until 16:40 for my gpu session". Only got about 20% fable time left this week so it's going to be a stretch. But resolving some tricky issues - optimisations are thin on the ground but I'll squeeze what's left. Though any gains are lost as I add new features at the same time!. I got a feeling the video is going to be (expletive deleted)ing awesome!

Used 25% of it only started 10 minutes ago!.....

Oooo Fable 5.1 - now I can burn tokens even faster for sure!

Oh my! If you could see what I can see. Just trying to get the Indominous locomotion to be acceptable - then it will be video construction time!

LOL! I nominated a claude session as "boss" and to coordinate the others. I don't think this is proper sub agent stuff but seems to work. I asked it if they were behaving!. Working my way towards that YouTube video I've been threatening, then the phone call from Mr'X' with the million quid. Bound to happen. Probably be someone on here...:-)

Honestly. Can't work out if it's brilliant or mad. Getting Multiple Claude sessions to literally talk to each other so they dont stomp on each other's commits. But just had to tell one session off for (expletive deleted)ing about and drifting. I demoted it to help another sessaion as an advisor!. I can see it grovelling to the other session and offering its support and knowledge. Bizarre to watch. These is all MY BITCHES

Nasty !

Yeah - mid life crisis purchase like we all have!. NEW TOY!. Also once the gpu AI is used I can expect maybe a 4 fold increase in local LLM speed.

Fuuuccckkkk! At the start of this thread refreshed Apple website every 55 seconds!. Missed this though!. M5 256Gb ordered!. Might keep might flip. Nice one @-rick- SERIOUSLY appreciate the heads up!. Also means it will always be 60fps!

You are SO right . Effectively on some things we’ve exceeded UE . But I cheated a bit . Mines a heightmap engine so I can’t do overhang / caves etc - fine for landscapes etc but not insides ( though I’m thinking about how you would do that with a ray marcher for a follow up project ) . But yes ! Everything UE does we attempt . Rain , snow , wind , lighting , explosions , lasers , ice , real big list . Put a video up on YouTube in the next few weeks . Expect Apple to offer me a billion dollars for it …. maybe …. or Mr.Beast ( I.e more money than sense ) . But I’ll take the cash from anyone ; not fussy !
