I disagree, if it’s corrupted, then it’s broken. If you have a system where there’s redundancies and backups but they all fail due to the same issue then that’s a bad design.

RFK’s asking “how”, the rest of us are asking “why”.

RFK said that about Trump?

He loves getting a reaction out of people, good or bad. There’s no other reason for him to say or behave the way he does.

He’s proven that the “checks and balances” that the yanks loves to go on about is utter bollocks, every second this guy is president just proves how broken their system is.

It’s not that deep lol. Do you use a washing machine?

It’s just way more convenient. I can do it at home and build up my order while doing the meal plan. Plus I don’t need to drag the kids around with me who only add to the stress.

The additional cost is negligible. We get a 6 month pass, but when you factor in fuel costs, wear and tear on the car then it’s hardly worth thinking about.

Maybe I can get a £200 million contract witht the government to implement this technology.

Better late than never! I’ll try to post these each week.

I’ve worked around systems that store products in a previous job and products are usually linked via facets and categories, it’s very unlikley there’s any AI inolved. It’s probably just rules based and goes through them (what’s in stock, same product type but different brand, same brand, similar price etc).

I asked ChatGPT if it could find me an alternative product for the given supermarket and it gave a load of sensible substitutions!

To be fair, Ocado doesn’t sell itself as a cheaper alternative. But they’re definitetly more convenient. I used them for a bit towards the end of last year as I couldn’t get any slots with my usual supermarket and found they had a lot more slots. Plus they could let me know how far away the van as and quite a specific time it would arrive. We never had the issue you described with waiting ages, maybe it’s area specific.

But they’re annoying though as you can’t buy individual fruit & veg, like you said it comes in loads of plastic (this will be because of their fulfilment process using those robots).

For me it absolutetly beats going into the supermarket, I’d rather just meal plan and build up the food order at the laptop than go out and drive to the supermarket.

For the past 6 months or so, my usual supermarket hasn’t once been able to deliver me full fat coconut milk. But they’ve usually given me the light version instead as a replacement. But this weeks replacement isn’t even close!

Also, could they not have given me a different brand of plum tomatoes?

They’re right, but maybe get your own house in order first before criticising other countries?

Even the Lemmy devs used to get it wrong, there was multiple times way back in the past where they’d link something and a bot would reply that they’re doing it wrong.

Ah now it makes sense lol

?

That’s a hell of a lot of UAVs! What happened?

Oh 100%. But she also doesn’t see the problem with it being so low and thinks I’m fussy!

Which is wild as the sofa is riddled with evidence of her tea & coffee mishaps!

Seriously, why do they exist? The whole point of the party was to get the UK to leave the EU, and that’s happened. Reform is the new UKIP.

When my wife makes me a brew, she only fills it to 3/4. Now I just decline her offers and make them myself. What’s crazy is that she’ll fill her cup to the normal amount; and I’m not known for spilling my drinks.
