@OctopusEnergy It's actually just started working again! If there are no readings for for today when it updates tomorrow I'll reach out again. Hopefully it was just a temporary blip.

@OctopusEnergy @TrustMeItIsMe We're having the same issue, elec and gas data stopped reporting/showing in the app (no data for yesterday) and the smart display is continuously boot looping showing no readings. We also use Loop and they have readings until about 8am today. I'm guessing there's an outage?

We've spent the last three months investigating what's really been happening behind-the-scenes with Disco Elysium.

We've been to Estonia, interviewed both sides of the dispute and discovered so much more nuance than you'll have heard up until now.

Being a seasoned C++ developer means you know you need a local container variable for better performance if you're going to iterate a lot, due to how C++ rules work.

This 🤯 is a very big 🤯

I have access to the new GPT Code Interpreter. I uploaded an XLS file, no context:

"Can you do visualizations & descriptive analyses to help me understand the data?

"Can you try regressions and look for patterns?"

"Can you run regression diagnostics?"

@tradingview Multiple users reporting that their TradingView specific email addresses are receiving phishing emails across multiple email resets. This implies you have an ONGOING PERSISTENT DATA BREACH in progress. https://t.co/PlhYp0jMju

Simply unbelievable from @GregHands

"Public services are getting better"

I dare you, @GregHands, look at the graphs below and tell me the NHS is "better".

I'll wait

@tradingview a custom email I use for you has somehow leaked, I'm getting XRP scam emails sent to it. Either you sold data or got hacked

[Satoshi TRUMP / サトシ・トランプ 🦇🔊 @satoshi_trump]

By using different usernames and passwords for different services, you can know who leaked your personal privacy information. For example, in this phishing email, it is obvious that @tradingview has leaked my email address.

Chemists give GPT-4 access to chemical databases & control of off-the-shelf lab robotics to create an "Intelligent Agent system capable of autonomously designing, planning & executing complex scientific experiments."

They find it exciting... and worrying. https://t.co/JhRcyxuW3g

Visualizing floating point precision loss, or "why #gamedev stuff behaves badly far from the origin"

The blue dot is end of the desired vector. The black dot snaps to the closest representable point (in a simplified floating point grid with only 4 mantissa bits)

'People say they don't like negative campaigning, they don't like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick but they're gonna remember it aren't they!'

While discussing Labour attack ads, ＠mrjamesob received an unexpected phone call from ex-Labour campaign director Alan Barnard...

Extraordinary. And not in a good way

If you read just one thing today I recommend you read the report from the National Audit Office published last week

The single biggest financial loss by any Government in history

Up to £58,800,000,000 lost to a scheme designed by our current Prime Minister

Let that sink in #58B
