Dear economists. I would like to know how many appointments are missed due to poor hospital car park design. See also: how many hours of productivity lost to the workforce. NB: I am currently trapped in a car park

Weeknotes for 2 weeks as there has been a bit much happening all at once, this probably features a little too much thinking out loud and not enough condensed thoughts, still, it is what it is.

Yesterday I went to my boy's school Christmas play - the first they have ever done. I've been thinking about it ever since, seeing all the parents watching their SEND kids doing the best they absolutely can and being applauded and appreciated. It's really difficult to explain how much it means.

Dear people who are better at this stuff than me: I really want a training about agentic AI which doesn't require being a Python expert (though I'm getting the feeling that this might not be a thing)and focuses on what the impacts of agentic might be on service design. (1/2)

Innovation idea 'Blursky' the same as Bluesky but everyones tweets are passed through AI to make them just 10% out of whack. I'm seeking an investment of ÂŁ10 for a 0.001% stake in the company.
