Again with my limited cricket knowledge - purely mathematically, it seems that it might have been better if they were chasing 100 runs from the last 2 wickets rather than 50? The declaration would have only been a success if we'd taken a wicket or two that evening

Note that he didn't deny being a robot...

You say lazy like it's a bad thing. If there's someone not pulling their weight in the team then yeah that is bad but what's wrong with finding different, more streamlined ways of delivering the same output? if there weren't lazy people looking for shortcuts we'd all still be working in the fields. It's just another tool to use in your job to make tasks quicker and more effective. It's no different to farmers using machinery to harvest crops "are people too lazy to pick it all by hand these days". It helps me do jobs quicker and to a better quality, i still need to fact check it and use my knowledge / experience to turn it into something useable. The other day I had a query around power purchase agreements and leases - without AI that would have probably been a full mornings work as I could think of a few different areas I'd need to research. Within 30 seconds ChatGPT had given me all the areas I'd need to consider and a couple of others that wouldn't have crossed my mind. All in it took about an hour to turn something round to my boss.

Makes sense to play TAA in midfield. He's transitioning there with Liverpool and could be class in that position - why not give him a go there in a dead cert game. It's not really a defensive move as he's been widely criticised for his defensive abilities.

Very part time watcher of cricket so for the layman, why would we declare now with root still in and scoring on day 1? Is it to catch the aussie batsmen off guard? They wouldn't have been expecting to bat this evening and mentally clocked odd?

Finding it a real time saver when using excel. I'd sat I'm competent excel but there's loads I don't know. I'd used to Google something previously and spend ages trawling a load of answers that weren't relevant. Now I can ask the question as if I was talking to someone and get the exact answer I want. It even writes out the code / formula that I can copy straight in. Even quite complex formulas are 90% there and all I have to do is alter the cell references. Technical accounting queries, ChatGPT gives me a solid starting point of an answer as well pointers in terms of sources, relevant legislation etc. We're quite a techbophobic organisation so it's giving me a real edge in terms of speed and quality of work.

Be funny if city lost

35ish games short of premier league appearances record and physically has a season or 2 left in him. I don't think he'll be rushing into management. I do however think he will be a fantastic coach when he does retire

Ideally it would be part of a 3 man midfield with some physical beast behind JRC and Wharton. I think that could be mouthwatering.

https://www.digitalinformationworld.com/2023/04/chatgpt-just-failed-this-accounting-exam.html?m=1 I can sit easy for now. ChatGPT does seem to be really bad for accounting in comparison to other areas. The article talks ChatGPT struggling with advanced maths but accounting isn't advanced maths, it's basic arithmetic (apart from some the corporate finance / stock market stuff but that's a tiny % of the qualification). The challenge is knowing which numbers to add up which is dictated by the accounting standards which is just a big wordy document. Given it passed the Bar exam it should make light work of accounting standards. One other quirk is that it gets Credits and Debits mixed up. I think this will partly be because most people talk about crediting a bank account meaning an increase in money however accounting from the business point of view, crediting the bank is a decrease in money. Just shows that ChatGPT is only as good as the information already out there and as we know there's a lot of bullshit and misconceptions on the Internet

I feel better than a lot of other seasons. We go into the summer with something to build on rather than having to rebuild the squad. We've gone into previous windows just needing bodies through the door as a minimum. Now there's an expectation that we need to add quality not just quantity, the bar is already higher under the current regime than the last

Missed the play offs on goal difference, no one would have predicted that 11 months ago but its a disappointing end to the season given how many points clear we were at one point. A goal scorer and we were comfortably in the play offs this season. The squad isn't a million miles away, add some quality this summer and we'll be there next season. Is that they closest we've come to the play offs since we came down from prem?

Obviously I don't know how but assessments should be designed with AI in mind. Children of today will be spend their professional careers working alongside AI. Rather than creating tools to detect and prevent it's use, design assessments that embraces it. I don't remember as I was just a kid at the time but what impact did the explosion of the Internet have? Suddenly kids had easy access to a wealth of knowledge on the world wide web where they could simply search for answers. It surely posed a similar headache but we soon embraced into the education sector.

I agree with you here. At Derby he did no better and no worse than the previous season so I wouldn't class that as a failure. His first season at Chelsea was widely regarded as good by most given the circumstances he was in. The start of the second season wasn't great but a fair few thought he was hard done by being canned so soon. Everton and his second spell at Chelsea have absolutely destroyed is reputation. If he has any further aspirations to manage he should get his head down and work as a coach under experienced managers for a few years rather than take the short cuts he has so far.

Absolutely mind blowing. I can't even imagine where we'll be in 10 years time but for god sake stop decoding my thoughts!

Win win for Big Sam. If they go down he had 4 games, one against city and the other against newcastle what more could he have done? If he keeps them up then he restores a little bit of shine he lost at WBA

Magic thank you! New handles was more of a minefield than I thought in terms of measurements

Clean shirt desk jockey reporting in again. Hoping @Tyrone Shoelaces is still online 😂 Had a broken front door handle, ordered a new one after measuring over and over again but its some how not fitting right. As you can see from the picture below it's bent out in the middle. Old and new handles have identical dimensions, all the holes line up perfectly. I used the old screws and spindle rather than the new ones which were a touch longer so confused what isn't working. Am I right in thinking the spindle is pushing it out I'm the middle? If so is it as simple as cutting it down a few mm? Functionally it feels sturdy and is working fine (for now) but looks naff, inside and out.

Accountant here - I've used it, it doesn't do my job for me (yet) but certainly short cuts it for me. 1. I'm the guy people ask to go research accounting standards and give technical advice. I usually ask ChatGPT the same question I get asked. It doesn't give a perfect answer but it gives me enough of a starting point. At the very least it tells me which part of a 70 standard to look at. 2. It'll write an excel formula or a macro for me in seconds. Again it's not always perfect but will give me something to alter rather than writing from scratch AI is going to be huge very soon. I saw a good quote on LinkedIn, AI won't takeover your job, people who aren't afraid to use AI will take over your job.

I've been thinking the same. Disallow Coventrys goal, Hedges buries his one on one with the keeper and we get that last minute penalty against Burnley, thats 5 points right there and we're comfortably in the playoffs and that's. Now add a 20 goal striker and some of those small losses where we've dominated the game but not taken our chances turn into victories and we're pushing automatic and JDT is a hero.

There will be a good number of people on here who even in August were tipping us for a relegation scrap who are also calling for JDTs head because we've had a poor season. We can all be disappointed with how the season has ended and dropping out the top 6 etc but a little perspective - none of us anticipated a play off fight and with no goal scorer in the team we've done well to even be in with a shout. I know project is a dirty word and we don't generally like to give people time but it was never going to be instant given the state of the squad at the end of last season and how late it was before we got new manager and DoF in. TM previously banged on about the project and then had to rebuild the squad every summer. For the first time in a while we head into summer and I'm thinking that a handful of quality additions means we can really push on whereas previously I was thinking we need to replace half the squad to just stand still. Overall I think JDT has done a good job - granted there have been frustrations e.g. when he's not been braver at 1 up and ended up concealing an equaliser and I think that if we have a good window he can get us into the play offs next season.

Get rid of Ayala unless you could convince him to take a huge pay cut. Getting half a season out of Ayala on cheapo wages - could do a lot worse. Dack I would keep unless we've got a 20+ season striker who we need the wages for. I don't want to free up Dacks wages to fund a disappointing loan fee

Could have been me that said it. Can't remember who we were playing but their GK was dicking about in 90+ minutes and a yellow is of no benefit to us. Pushing and shoving at a set piece usually results in the ref having a word and some times booking but never giving a foul either way
