I've taken a Eurovision dataset from Kaggle and analysed it to create this "scrollytelling" article. It uses mostly Scrollama and D3, and includes interactive charts at the end. Me…

In 2020, I joined the NHS AI Lab as its Deputy Director, a £250M UK Government-backed initiative to develop and deploy safe, ethical AI across the UK healthcare system, and one of …

I have a never ending list of "small tools" for personal use and decided to try Claude Code to see which ones I have clear ideas about, as I find that there's a good correlation be…

Thanks, that's a good shout! Two thoughts: 1) I'm not 100% sure what to do when the ratio can't be complied with because the original photo has a certain shape, but I'm definitely …

A friend who's a corporate photographer came to me with an interesting problem: aligning multiple portrait photos for team pages, yearbooks, directories, so that faces are consiste…

Pretty much all this. Remarkably, the website has a "Pricing" page with... no pricing information whatsoever.

I developed a word counter website that allows the user to add multiple sections, and keeps count of both each section's and the overall totals in real time. This is a very minor d…

Not quite directly through my website, but indirectly via my newsletter, that points to my website. It happened on two occasions, the most interesting of which was on a commission …

I have a couple of things that I have mentioned at recent job interviews and helped me get the job, but in a sideways manner. Still make me smile because I essentially did them to …

I wish there was a model out there that asked me "what do you mean by 'join'" but I guess we're somewhat far from there :)

It's hard to really understand what it must be to live through such a tragedy, so I'm not sure how relevant my suggestions will be. But I would do three things (some of which I see…

I reported about my own similar experience a few years back ( https://puntofisso.medium.com/paypal-closed-my-account-with-... ). What's really stuck with me is that it seems that a…

What scares me is that there's very little in terms of user rights, and where entire businesses depend on it, things might get very bad very quickly. It's not just Stripe by the wa…

I had a very similar experience with TripAdvisor and a hotel in Vietnam, which claimed my review was false. The really crazy part of this was that my review was positive, 4/5 stars…

Indeed. The perception it gives is that it's fudging things up. I'm really interested in this because it will impact somehow the credibility it gets / the confidence it inspires in…

I tried this set of prompts trying to get ChatGPT generate a diet plan with close-to-impossible constraints. Its behaviour is interesting: it generates a response that ignores some…

Interestingly, this is exactly how I found about Buttondown, which I've been using for years to send my own newsletter. It also helped that it was priced way more sensibly than man…

What I find interesting is that such p2p comms applications return with a certain recurrence. I think one of the first was Nokia Sensor (2005?), and there was one that was famous d…

Just vaguely related, but it seems that various forms of hiring fraud are now appearing, i.e. https://connortumbleson.com/2022/09/19/someone-is-pretending... In the remote world, i…

I don't share/forward jobs without a salary range, and usually refuse to engage with them. I do ask, and if they're fuzzy, I understand it's not a good match. That said, and beyond…

This is very interesting (disclaimer: I work for the NHS, although this isn't within the remit of my role). Many useful comments in the thread, so I'll add just one thing. In NHS E…

https://www.puntofisso.net It's fundamentally a pointer to my other social presence and a list of "cool projects" (mostly side gigs) that I've done over the years.
