Property tax valuation.

More like a 2001 Renault Clio. Camrys are already bloatware.

Switching tools is _very easy_.

The Prime credit card is Chase.

Thanks for the clarification. I had forgotten the distinction.

Inside scoop: the pub group who owned that pub (still going, owns four in Cambridge and environs) was cofounded by Steve Early, a Cambridge computer scientist who wrote his own POS software, so it was very much a case of "yeah, that sounds like fun, I'll add it". (Until tax and primary rate risk made it not fun, so it was removed.)

The POS software's on GitHub: https://github.com/sde1000/quicktill


That's brilliant insight, thank you. I enjoyed reading Steve's extensive read me.

Also I'm planning a trip to Cambridge so I've bookmarked one of the pubs for a visit.


Did you do any serious simulations work? If so, machine learning. (PhD in mineral physics, staff ML engineer at a FAANG.)


Not sure about seriousness but I did some simulation work regarding seismic wave propagation. Would that apply?


Wouldn’t hurt. (The key thing is; have you done work which involved serious linear algebra? I was an electronic structure person, so I’m not familiar with the geophys stuff.)


Skills are just prompt conventions; the exact form may change but the substance is reasonable. MCP, eh, it’s pretty bad, I can see it vanishing.

The agent loop architectural pattern (and that’s the relevant bit) is going to continue to matter. There will be new patterns for sure, but tool calling plus while loop (which is all an “agent” is) is powerful and highly general.


Yes, that sentence is simply untrue for, at the very least, BrE. For example: https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/home-news/chart-show... (2015)


This is all very familiar with this North Eastern American English speaker except the "quite good" one. The rest seem normal to me in my American English. Perhaps it's too many Dr Who and or Monty python as a youth. Though in New England the language can be very sarcastic and indirect.


The joke is that Calvin is aligned with Hobbes’s philosophy and vice versa.


No? Like d-us-vb said, the characters' names have nothing to do with their personalities.

Yes, they occasionally discuss philosophy.

No, that does not mean that the philosophy being discussed has any relation to John Calvin or Thomas Hobbes.

The joke is that they're a kid and a stuffed tiger named after philosophers.


This collection is, indeed, ticking all the boxes.
