[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.

He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.

@claudeai is great. But it frequently demonstrates the curse of knowledge fallacy when drafting messsages.

Plenty of failure premium on @morningireland talking about Rolling out National #EHR. Will be outsourced to a usual vendor instead of an sovereign based modular approach; Kanta + Apotti, Neom.. Could be done with a few hundred extra @HSETandT #eHealth employees

@Keyes @homely I was checking @homely out re a single @HSELive Admin worker. Even with a tenant at €800 per month €1.8k balance is a big ask. approx €500 per month left to live on. Not a goer I'm afraid for alot of peeps. Maybe works for new homes + H2B scheme

Talking of risk of fires @cardagh in @CHI_Ireland from dust in ducts. Does the NCHI fire risk assessment account for EV fires in the underground car park beneath a hospital full of children.

Next up a rare, incredible set by two of the finest turntablists, 30 years ago:

This is @djshadow & James Lavelle (@unkleofficial) @ Headz 2, The Mean Fiddler, Dublin 27.10.96

Opens with Shadow going in heavy, then Lavelle after. Just sensational tunes by two absolute legends. No tracklist, but I'll put a link to a little bit of info I found about this event in the comments.

Reminder that all mixes uploaded here today go on my Kofi for download tonight.

What better way to celebrate the UK release of Faith No More’s fifth studio album, King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime (March 13, 1995), than unleashing some gloriously feral live footage?

Because honestly—there is never enough shaggy haired, muppet mustached Patton ricocheting across a stage like a caffeinated gremlin in a hoodie, possessed by the spirit of pure noise and bad decisions😈

Faith No More - ‘Ricochet’ - Phoenix Festival - Stratford-upon-Avon, England - 07/15/1995

*I’ll celebrate KFAD in earnest later this month😉

We're approaching the dawn of medical superintelligence - the moment when affordable, world-class medical knowledge and support is at your fingertips whenever you need it.

I think people are still underestimating how profound this transformation is going to be. Today we're announcing Copilot Health, enabling users to connect all their EHR records and wearable data in a secure, private health space that Copilot can analyze and reason about to provide personalized insights and proactive nudges.

You choose what information to connect - from hospital lab results to your fitness tracker - and Copilot Health applies medical intelligence to surface easy to understand, personalized insights that you can actually act on.

It's a dedicated space to bring your personal health data together in a single profile, including:
- Activity, sleep, and vital trends from 50+ wearable devices, including Apple Health, Oura, Fitbit and many more
- Health records from 50,000+ U.S. hospital and health systems, including visit summaries, medications, and test results
- Comprehensive lab test results from Function

Copilot Health enables people to arrive at their appointment with the right questions and the right context to make the time they have with doctors really count.

Your data is always your data, and you are always in full control. Your data won't be used to train our AI models, and you can disconnect sources at any time. Our Copilot Health responses are also grounded in information from credible health organizations like Harvard Health, as well as real-time US provider directories to find the right real-world care.

Copilot Health is launching first in the US to adults over 18, but we ultimately want to make this service available to the billions of people around the world who struggle to access reliable medical advice. Please give it a go and sign up to join the early Copilot Health community and help shape what comes next.

Microsoft's CSP model is one of the worst things to happen to ISVs.

We moved our Azure environment to a CSP partner. A telco with a $1.5bn Microsoft strategic partnership. Winner of Microsoft's 2025 Telco Partner of the Year.

What we got: no onboarding, no account manager, a billing system that couldn't handle Azure SKUs like Azure Communication Service, and 5 months of overcharges at 4x actual usage. When we finally reached out to leadership it was delegated downwards and outwards for another 4 months.

That's not a partnership. That's a customer doing free consulting and unpaid QA for an award-winning Microsoft partner.

ISVs: ask hard questions before you move to CSP. The pitch and the reality are very different.

The godmother of AI just delivered the reality check Silicon Valley refuses to hear. She has the standing to say it.

Li: “Silicon Valley as a whole tends to mistake clear vision with short distance.”

Seeing the destination clearly has nothing to do with how hard it is to reach.

Self-driving cars were first demonstrated in 2006. Twenty years later Waymo is barely on the road.

The vision was never the problem. The distance was.

Clarity of destination gets mistaken for proximity to arrival. That’s the mistake the industry keeps making. And keeps making.

Li: “I consider myself a scientist in my heart and I actually really don’t like hyping.”

In an industry running at maximum temperature, Fei-Fei Li is one of the few people at the top willing to say that publicly.

Not because the technology isn’t real. Because the gap between what’s visible and what’s required is being systematically underestimated.

Large Language Models dominate the conversation. Text to text. Comparatively contained.

The harder problem is spatial intelligence. AI that reasons about and acts within the physical three-dimensional world. Hardware. Physics. Data that doesn’t exist yet. Real-time adaptation to chaos.

A robot that can clean a bathroom requires understanding every surface, every object, every force, every exception.

That’s not a software update. That’s a civilizational research problem.

Li: “I don’t call it hype. I call it a misleading sentiment. We don’t want to replace human creators.”

The second place the industry gets it wrong is creativity.

The narrative has hardened around replacement. AI takes the jobs. AI tells the stories. AI makes the art.

Li considers that not just wrong but destructive.

Wrong because AI doesn’t replicate creativity. Destructive because believing it can devalues the humans creating culture.

Human creativity isn’t a process to be automated. It’s fundamental to what we are as a species.

The goal is augmentation. Tools that make human creators faster and more capable. Not systems that generate output in the style of human work and call it creation.

That distinction matters more than most people in the industry are willing to sit with.

Precision of imagination is not proximity to reality.

Li has spent her career in the gap between those two things. The map isn’t the territory. The journey is long. The hurdles are deep.

And the scientist who built the foundation this era stands on is telling you the timeline everyone is selling is wrong.

We’ve been almost there with self-driving for twenty years.

The pattern doesn’t change just because the destination looks different.

Very painful day for shareholders in the huge Irish clinical trials company ICON with shares down 40% as it says it will need to restate revenues and withdraws 2025 guidance. About $4 billion in market cap lost.
