@arstechnica LH2 might be tricky to work with but Airbus and Mitsubishi seem to manage reasonably well.

@liilliil @Vibracobra23 I'm pretty sure those are fishing boats. It's from over 100 years ago when engines might have been too expensive for fisherfolk ;-) They used winches to drag the boats up the beach.

@pigpenradio Indeed. Well worth the trip though - I must get myself to Kernow again soon.

@pigpenradio Loved the reggae tunes you played on your radio show. Sadly Falmouth is a bit of a trek from Brighton...

Machine Learning on Sunday was fun. I enjoyed playing a set there. Thanks to Lee, Matt and all the performers for making a great night out. There's a video of my Wavy Line set, mainly featuring fingers & buttons, but with good quality sound, on youtube youtu.be/oj80fDbNV0s

@GossiTheDog @ISO8601 Could be a challenge to implement because it appears that the current prisoner release process is paper based...

Two Astral Engineering tracks played on radio in one week, one ancient and one just recorded.
Network Space #2 from 1993 on Dubwise Wednesday by Olspin, Cutters Choice Radio cutterschoiceradio.com/index_I
Inside the Tor recorded a few weeks back for Motif on Gray Clay Radio greyclayradio.com/motif
Both great, and very different radio shows!

@clanger9 My thoughts too. Previously I had suspected JLR were using Oracle EBS, but it seems pwning Tata is easier than that...

@jackeric @nixCraft I've just switched from my 10 year old nokia to a new nokia simplephone, cos the old one was broken. Sad to say, they've managed to make series 30 worse and the phone bigger 😞 No ai yet though 🙂

I'll be playing with ja! Sputnik this weekend at Glastonbury Psychfest providing some motorik space-rock. Looking forward to what should be a great weekend of excellent music.

@pigpenradio I've been using Mixxx on Linux for around 20 years. It was a bit rough around the edges to start with but now it's a really mature polished piece of software.

@nixCraft AI does seem to be good for apologising. I see a great future for it in politics.

@nixCraft so if the news sites that Google's AI is summarising go bust what's it going to summarise then? 🙂
