I know this is far too late to make any difference, but I had always thought that the better term for what LLMs do is confabulation.

Yes, digital ID cards will link up with porn verification system, Starmer confirms

THE prime minister has confirmed that digital ID cards will indeed work in tandem with the age verification system which records all the filth you watch.

I did wonder if daylight saving might increase births at the end of October (and less in the spring) but a squint at the charts does not seem to support this.
Also happy birthday. 🎈🎈🎈

Perhaps a niche dataset but if you are doing anything with primary care data it helps to know what is actually recorded in computerised medical records. #SNOMED 🩺💻 digital.nhs.uk/data-and-inf...

Getting a little more automated. The last piece of command line PHP has now been eliminated. Data mangling now in a combination of SQL, python, awk and a little sed.

I have put English #QOF data for the 2024-25 year up on the QOF Database website. As usual 10% of the work is the data itself and the rest is keeping up with organisational changes in the NHS. www.gpcontract.co.uk

Update on the bat. There are two of them! Thought there was something going on and they have posed for the camera today. If we keep up this daily doubling we will have over a quarter of a million bats by October!

A bat has returned to my video bat box. It has been up there for about ten years before we noticed the first bat. Only stayed for a week then. @batconservation.bsky.social
