Cumbria classic revisited, Appleby-in-Westmoreland

 Almost four years ago, a story map here showed the Skelworth Fold area of the Lake District for a friend, using advanced mapping and Environment Agency digital elevation.

Let us revisit this in Westmoreland due east in Cumbria region of the UK Northwest.

From another story map here, see the level of detail from EA Risk fo Flooding from Land and from Sea:

Cottenham, Cambs. in East Anglia

From the same, this image details the medieval plough fields, less distinct but visible nr. Appleby along the Roman Road:

Medieval settlement at Nobold, 440m east of Lowe Farm HT

Circular depressions are ancient watering holes. Image & topography distinguish ploughed and pasture fields, building outlines and road alignments. Ancient structures are depressions and modern ones are in relief: this bas-relief further helps distinguish the geopgraphic history of the landscape.

"AI for the rest of us", Part VII

 Last we showed here how to create "quick & dirty" graphs while chatting on ur mobile. Now we'll see how we can create summaries, not from "text to hand", but from that cribbed off the internet. 

Having left socials, I'm down to corresponding at Extinction Rebellion "Media Tell the Truth" WhatsApp group. Jon Fuller there is also at "Climate Genocide Act Now" here. I was a scientist for Extinction Rebellion, and blogged here about the pandemic against the lies of the British government, as well as about floods and rising sea levels in East Anglia. I didn't know GCAN, however, as I'm no longer active.

Update: Part VII here follows w using ChatGPT to summarize off the web direct.

 Part V (here) showed elaborate (mis)use of AI. Here is a super simple example whipped up in Google Gemini on the phone during a chat about value change over time. Notice all along, adding less & less detail shows AI perists previous prompts.
