The slightly garbled table below are some initial scenarios I’ve mocked up for potential Unitary authorities in Kent and Medway, based upon the Government’s stated aim that they have populations greater than 500,000. This is just my personal calculations and has no bearing on the outcome of reorganisation. The only thing we know so far […]
14.1.2025 20:56Potential Unitary Authorities based on 2025 population and assuming a minimum population of 500,000With the sad news that Saga are leaving Sandgate, various ideas will be proposed to ensure that Enbrook Park retains its beauty and that the buildings on site are used or replaced. One idea I’ve yet to hear involves siting a Higher Education satellite institution on the site. Ideally, this would be focused on high […]
2.8.2023 11:09Enbrook Park – An IdeaWell, it sucks to be proven wrong, sort of. It seems the underlying technology behind Stadia is the service that will be surviving, with Stadia itself quietly killed. I’m quite sad about this as a UK user, as I never truly got to benefit from the service. That said, Google may have chosen the right time to pull it as people begin to rationalise their subscription services during the ongoing cost of living crisis.
19.11.2022 10:08Comment on Will xCloud kill Stadia? by garymarkfullerJust had what I think is a cool idea for libraries. You used to be able to read microfiche on machines in some libraries. The advent of pdfs and the digitisation of records, coupled with the existence of mini PCs and SBCs presents interesting possibilities. It should be possible to create an app that relies […]
19.11.2022 10:03Libraries ideaI find the debate on free will fascinating. The belief that no decision is free of the events that occurred prior to it seems self-evident to me. I can understand the fatalism that such a belief might cause but, thus far, haven’t fallen prey to it. Perhaps it is because I think that knowledge of […]
15.5.2021 08:10Free will vs determinism in the justice systemThe Computing and IT Degree I’m doing with the OU is actually the fourth HE qualification I’ve completed in my lifetime. Like my first degree, it seems to be following the format of Level 1 being a rehash of A Level standard work, Level 2 being the required modules and Level 3 being where you […]
30.1.2021 12:54Why I’m studying… yet again.The central argument of Rutger Bregman in Utopia for Realists, beyond the solutions he suggests to various worldwide problems, is that left-leaning political thought is stale. Too often we focus in politics on what is deemed possible, at the expense of what is desirable. I’ve heard it said repeatedly that, in decades gone by, policies […]
21.9.2020 13:30What does a Utopia for Realists mean for the Lib Dems?I’ve seen a couple of tech Youtubers talking about the release of xCloud as being the death knell for Stadia, and you can sort of understand why. Game Pass Ultimate is a hell of a deal. It covers you on an Xbox, gives you perks for PC, and has hundreds of games. That said, I’m […]
5.8.2020 19:23Will xCloud kill Stadia?As it stands, much of AI seems to be focused on developing human like skills. There’s valid reasons for this, not least the potential to support those with specific needs through the provision of various tools. In our quest to develop an AI that can match a human being, perhaps out obsession with building up […]
3.8.2020 08:29Should we ditch human- focused AI?It occurred to me this morning that Covid-19 is producing a hell of a lot of data on the spread of viruses in the 21st century. Although the data-set is weakened by the lack of testing in some countries, we can probably improve the data using the death rate and antibody testing. What’s the use […]
3.4.2020 08:46A potential machine learning implementation resulting from Covid-19The script I created yesterday was a useful demonstration of reproduction numbers, but wasn’t an entirely accurate depiction of what would happen. Specifically, it only showed the number infected during each generation of infection, which artificially improves the effect of halving the reproduction number. I’ve therefore added a little bit to the script to more […]
