Making things

[Jamie Young @dt99jay]

An attempt to use AI to map the topics covered by @TheRestHistory. I fed episode titles & descriptions into a Phi-3 small language model and asked it to infer the location of any events. Far from perfect but nice to explore episodes on a map https://t.co/yxvgFgFAUo

@WeeDragon_J I put this together a while ago. (Doesn’t feature Drumbrae, can’t remember why) https://t.co/sEnaJxJbvk

@OrdnanceSurvey @EnvAgencyGeomat More hilly roads, this time in Edinburgh #OpenData

[Jamie Young @dt99jay]

@steveattewell @OpenAI @OrdnanceSurvey Amazing demo! Would be great if the tourist & leisure info were in the NGD too (https://t.co/69THBni7DU) e.g. 'find me a place with a dramatic viewpoint' etc.

[Jamie Young @dt99jay]

This is a brilliant idea. Am on a 390 Customs, etiquette and folklore binge with 'Fairies' and 'The Fisher King'.

The entire BBC In Our Time archive browsable by Dewey-Decimal code? Yes please

I made a website to find old episodes of In Our Time to listen to. There are almost a thousand, it’s my starting point for any new topic

Very early, suggestions welcome

@jonpayates @WhatWorksWB @NCS Thanks! Will have a look. Hoping a for a lost-wallet study or similar!

You could play Pong with the driver in the next lane

Should we let cars use the road as a projection screen? https://t.co/r1dXbOvM2e

For anyone still thinking we just need to "tough out" this winter because that's what used to happen in the olden times, I have a chart for you

Quite enjoying Nesta’s journey from social innovation to plumbing

Visit a heat pump near you 🏡 A new pilot service in London and Glasgow links those interested in learning more about heat pumps with people who have them installed in their homes.

@rachel_hursey @jonpayates Wow! That sounds very Quis custodiet ipsos custodes

[Jamie Young @dt99jay]

@mccargow What do you think? Lots of planning, not enough strategy in HE, I reckon.

A Plan Is Not a Strategy https://t.co/xrKIi0XSa4 via @YouTube More gold from @RogerLMartin

Love the replies to this. I'd add the Ionic capitals on Trotters Opticians on George St which look like a pair of spectacles.

Ok #Edinburgh peeps, I want to know about your favourite MUNDANE, hidden in plain sight things.

You know the kinda thing: signs, pipes, drain covers, stonework, door-knockers, trees, bus stops, doorways, ornaments, gates etc that you like but suspect no-one else notices.

Go!

[Jamie Young @dt99jay]

@Jonathan_Rowson I’ve fond memories of Troon. My grandfather & his sisters were brought up on Morven Drive and we used to visit my gt aunt there. (Their dad ran a home furnishing shop which surprisingly seems to still exist https://t.co/xQqHYMPgGm) Congrats to your mum & step dad!

@owenboswarva @EnvAgencyGeomat Hmm ok. Thanks!

[Jamie Young @dt99jay]

@owenboswarva @EnvAgencyGeomat Thanks! Yes, has been handy to download older data via the ‘Tiles' DSM option, but currently there's separate entries for 'Comp. DSM' as well as 'Nat. LIDAR Prog. DSM' (which made latter sound like a different product). Guess former = Comp 2017 & latter = Comp 2020.
