In the interview, Dudley said “extracting Grenfell from the statistics, actually people dying in house fires is rare. Many, many more people die on the roads driving cars, but we’re not making cars illegal, so why are we stopping houses being built?”There’s a good point hiding in there somewhere, Simon, but I’m afraid you’ve grasped rather the wrong end of it…
It’s not at all obvious to me what it actually does. Just saying that something uses AI doesn’t actually tell you anything at all, without saying what functions the AI provides. Is it using any underlying training philosophy, or can I try out various approaches to see what works for me? Or is it purely based on past data of what has worked, in which case, how is success defined, and where is that data coming from? (If it’s just based on a small number of users to date, I wouldn’t have too much faith in it.) Is it able to adapt to my personal training history, or is it only using what ‘works’ at a population level. Or is it nothing more than a chatbot that can pick out key words and match them to a library of workouts (in which case that seems of minimal usefulness).
I suspect most people on here aren’t going to respond well to the Peloton-style hype language (‘BOOM!’; ‘smashed it!’; ‘champion!’; etc.) – something that’s a bit more matter-of-fact might go down better.
Either that or cars are not crashing into buildings.They’re crashing into forums* instead?

The judge said because he was employing people as a roofer they didn’t send him to jail.Personally, I think those people might be better off not being on a roof with him and his anger issues.
Three injured as bus crashes into bridge

Might be as well to put this up as an article (as you sometimes do with other site updates) – given that forum comments are no longer/not currently being surfaced on the main areas of the site, a lot of regulars might miss your post here.

impossible of course, to clear the cache for a single website in a browserDepends on your browser. On Chrome desktop, for example, you can right-click > Inspect > Application and delete whatever bits and pieces you want for that site.
Been meaning to post an update to an issue I previously reported:
On tablet, I’m getting a phone view, so for example in the comment carousel it will only show one comment at a time instead of three, but taking up mahoosive amounts of space so that it shows whole paragraphs of text instead of just a snippet.Oddly, this is only happening when I am (or rather, when it thinks I am) logged in. If I’m logged out, I get the three comments with just the short snippet, as I did on the old site.
BTW – I haven’t received payment for any of this UAT work yet – can I double-check that you’ve been getting my invoices?
I’ve had a few comment replies that haven’t threaded properly (appeared as the start of a new thread). I’m not sure whether this is because:
a) the reply to comment box isn’t correctly linking the comment to the previous one when submitting, or
b) the reply link is flaky and isn’t making the reply to comment box appear in the first place, so I’m inadvertently posting in the new comment box by mistake. (Because the new comment box is now there permanently – you don’t have to click ‘post a new comment’ to open it – and the new comment and reply to versions aren’t sufficiently distinct, this mistake is a lot easier to make.)

Not that anyone will see this, because of extreme site borkenness, but nevertheless…
