  Wife had a successful Brisbane trip in the sealion, so that’s a hurdle cleared. I am now sitting at a charger again to get an idea of how long it takes to get back to 50% from 25% at a fast charger. Looks like about 10min?

  in the meeting today I pointed out its difficult to trace the tasks they have 'derived' (generated) to the original functions. They shared a screen showing an excel doc they claimed to be the traceability matrix. Excel had a warning at the top saying the worksheet had bad formulas etc... and it was obvious they'd used an LLM to create it because it is completely wrong but has fancy formatting in the cells. I pointed out the first line is wrong, they then jumped in and said "w...

  drove the tinny in to the radio base this morning because all the roads are closed for the Noosa Tri. It was so nice on the river at 5am. I should definitely be doing that more often.

  as a test I have spent quite a bit of time this week fucking about with copilot to see if "give me a week and copilot and I could do this whole task" that someone told me (about a complex analysis task) was remotely accurate. I have learned three things: 1. copilot is a piece of fucking garbage for any task that takes more than about 3-4 prompts. It drifts off-task almost immediately, almost never reads the documents you upload to it, and will just invent shit and pretend it has read...

  cool to see Ukraine using advanced subterranean procedures about 8yrs after I was told by fucking idiots that the ADF didn't need this kind of training.

  a small anecdote from yesterday afternoon: radio op: Adam one of the fishing charters have a guy on board they think is having a heart attack, can they dock at our jetty to meet the ambulance? me: yeah, sure thing I will move boats around.

  a guy has just reply-all'd to our whole unit whining that he hasn't been given his dress uniform epaulets yet and he wants them so he can wear formal uniform to the monthly meeting. Hahahahahahaha these fucking clownpockets have nothing in life. NOTHING. If they cannot lord their imagined authority around.

  today as well as work I have done a bunch of BOATS ICT shit. Fixed some log in shit, used the chatbot to fix the printer, sorted out backups of google files, helped people install outlook and get it working. Not much fun.

  something that I have found to be fairly universal among men of a certain age that are required by workplace rules to be trained in first aid: they will latch on to any possible loophole that lets them say "I will not be providing first aid" It is fully my intention to return the favour.

  tell me what you think about this idea: full day (7.5hr) face to face first aid is hard going for everyone. By the time we hit the 'environmental hazards' section (the last part of the day) everyone is a bit done. Usually I end the day with a recommendation to download and use the Emergency Plus app, and the Australian Bites and Stings app. I'm thinking that rather than me describe he various creatures that can bite and sting, the signs/symptoms and treatments, I could start this se...

  10min of conversation about black holes with my 13yo and I’m up against the extent of my knowledge. “Is there sound in a black hole?” How the fuck should I know?
