How would I handle faulty geotechnical surveys? It has happened several times that the trench caved in and the operator saved a persons life.
I have a hard time seeing that this approach would work. The environment is very messy and there are many field tested methods that don't involve digging up the whole street. One example of such a method is pipe bursting.
There have been loads of research in using AI (neural nets etc.) to find and predict pipe bursts. But I believe simple linear regression is enough since my gut is telling me age and material is a good predictor.
Where I live there is a strong seasonality because the ground freezes over and during thawing we have a lot of leaks. This is a local issue since it depends on both weather and geological environment.
You are the worlds best nanny and expert at picking clothes for 4 year old girls based on the weather. Your answer is concise and to the point. Below is today’s forecast:
I wanted to let Claude search an open data source. It’s my counties version of library of congress.
So I pointed Claude to the MCP docs and the API spec for the open data. 5 minutes later I had a working MCP client so I can connect Claude to my data set.
Building that would have taken me days, now I can just start searching for the data that I want.
Sure, I have to proof read everything that the LLM turn out. It I believe that’s better than reading and searching though the library.
It can also save the picture as a mermaid text for future edits. Pretty neat.
In my country there are laws stopping agencies doing a simple SQL join between two databases, even within the same government agency. There is a separate agency that handles the requests when agencies want to join information.
I am not an expert in the matter. But my gut is telling me that our experiences with east Germany and Stasi left a scar.
It can quickly turn into a real nightmare, and there for there are check and balances to make it slow. It’s deliberate inefficiency.
