Quick tip: if you want an LLM to give you a BOTEC, it seems much more effective to ask for it to output an XSLX (or CSV) showing their working/model than simply asking for a BOTEC in the chat.
The travel bans on Piker and Uygur seem similar to most of the bans on far-right speakers at Tommy Robinson's rally last month, which is to say repressive and self-defeating. Not consistent to oppose one but not the other.
I like this and it’s sad that none of the UK’s existing consumer groups have done this sooner. How about bringing back plastic straws instead of the paper ones that go soggy halfway through using them? Annoying if you’re an adult, infuriating if your toddler is trying to use one!

@Rado9910@NathanpmYoung Who is doing the forcing? Unless you're literally talking about forced marriage, both parties typically understand and accept that there are large costs to separating after getting married.
Is GenAI causing the relative decline in early-career hiring? Our latest research finds that these effects may be conflated with another important driver: the rise of WFH arrangements (1/N)
Housebuilding has collapsed in London.
And Southwark Council are celebrating having blocked 850+ homes.
You can’t afford to live in London because of thousands of decisions like this over decades.
The Guardian's much-debated list of the greatest novels is ... a perfectly good and sensible list.
The people whining about it can't have read the books. But don't worry. We'll cover them all on @bookclubpodhq eventually.
