Finally got a reply on WhatsApp just after tweeting.

• No/low water in CV31–4. Burst main. @stwater didn’t notify me or neighbours.
• Automated message falsely claims we were contacted—no note, call, email etc.
• Incident report webpage broken.
• Phone system unhelpful and sends you in circles.
• @Ofwat is this acceptable?

[John Pocock @JohnathanPocock]

On top of that, making a complaint is near impossible:
• Complaints page lists phone number where you can’t make a complaint.
• Suggests WhatsApp system which is broken for me.

It’s a shambles

@HMRCcustomers My bank also told me that it is the government (i.e. you) who make the rules and so they could not tell me. I have to ask you.

[John Pocock @JohnathanPocock]

@HMRCcustomers, I have a question about transferring ISAs. It says on https://t.co/9okO1s8uZy that you must wait 12 months to use the LISA bonus for a house. So, if you transfer from a Help to Buy to a LISA, are you penalised by having to wait 12 months to use the bonus?

[John Pocock @JohnathanPocock]

@HMRCcustomers https://t.co/9okO1s8uZy also suggests calling HMRC, which I can do, but I imagine that something asynchronous would be more helpful as they are unlikely to have the answer on the spot. I will also try that though.

The next version of Ruff gets autotyping features: automatically insert an inferred return type annotation.

@discord can we please get fast profile switching on mobile? I am constantly signing in and out and it is painful. Also, sometimes it authenticates but doesn’t properly sign in until I quit and reopen the app.

@CanaryMailApp hey 👋 love the app! I purchased macOS pro but didn’t realise there was an iOS app at the time. Can I upgrade to iOS & Mac bundle or do I just need to buy the iOS separately?

It is the only way

Not looked at the details but I'm already fascinated

[Luke Gessler @LukeGessler]

this paper's nuts. for sentence classification on out-of-domain datasets, all neural (Transformer or not) approaches lose to good old kNN on representations generated by.... gzip https://t.co/6eZiXlJxOX

Did you know that iOS has a unicode Emoticon art keyboard? Sadly it's only on the Japanese keyboard. Could we get this on the English keyboard please? @Apple ( ^ω^ )

Our ducktest inspired method can compute similarity of #CPATH whole slide images via maximum mean discrepancy #MMD kernels over implicit statistics for classification & prognosis with SoTA results for #TP53 mutation prediction in #Breast #Cancer.

@marksandspencer Great idea! Unfortunately it wastes the product inside and actually has a larger surface area (and more plastic volume) than a regular rectangle shape! The Barcode is M 0084 925 S

@marksandspencer Can you please explain why these burgers are packaged so weirdly?? Half of them are sitting on this little shelf where they become deformed and fall apart.

We are looking at the future of VR, YouTube & Google Street View.

This is zip-NeRF, a 3D neural rendering tech rapidly approaching the quality of a real, high-res drone flight video. Think of NeRF as transporting reality into simulation. Metaverse will finally work this time.
