Not sure how or why this thread started but I seem to have started codifying Journo units of measurement. Ten routemasters to a football pitch and 2,000 football pitches to a Wales.

@IncognitoPengy All the media outlets went with the doubling line. It’s journalism maths - much like anything from about 90-150m becomes the length of a football pitch.

Meta is looking to capitalise on WhatsApp by opening up its API and offering a premium subscription for business users. Its a growing trend of consumer messaging apps moving into the enterprise space, say Gartner analysts. https://techmonitor.ai/technology/software/whatsapp-business-premium-meta-wechat

Asking the important questions. A survey of my children found 100% don't like bits.

Do Brits like bits?

Prefer smooth orange juice: 44%
Prefer orange juice with bits: 38%

But the generations are divided, with older Britons being more pro-bitty juice

Where was this when I was learning swift five years ago? Also is this an end to StackOverflow?

So this is pretty amazing. @OpenAI’s playground is actually helping me learn Swift.

I started using it to ask specific questions about my code or when I need a second opinion. It actually breaks it down with clear explanations and reasoning. AI collaboration = the future.

Really enjoying watching the Jersey election unfold from a distance. This is the first I haven’t covered in 20 years. Lots of good online guides and much more social interaction from candidates. @Voteje
