@Tymtweet Missed this, but sure!

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.

James Milner on trying to sign himself on Championship Manager

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!

This is totally, totally mad. Even if you have concerns about social media, it is nowhere near as harmful as tobacco. And the constant comparisons between the two make it seem like we’re clearly in a bit of a moral panic.

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

If I had small kids today, I would rather have them smoking than allowing them to stay on their own on social media.

But I am acting prime minister, so I will not say that.

@GjMcGowan Have you ever published one of those ‘things I recommend you buy’ posts? I would want to read yours.

https://t.co/VnDhyTHlyq collected ~1k matched questions from real-money prediction markets vs. non-market platforms: skin in the game seems to still matter, at least some?

@connacher_ What about something weird like the returns for Leopold's fund as a better signal than real interest rates? They just seem so noisy.

@AndyMasley It is enraging.

This story has been all over the UK press today. The British media should be ashamed of themselves.

Social media does not give you cancer, emphysema, or heart disease. It allows you to talk to other humans remotely.

@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)

@swinshi They are both famous in the UK.

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.

I agree that the list is not that bad. But Tolstoy remains highly rated yet underrated.

[Dominic Sandbrook @dcsandbrook]

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.

[Sam Glover @sam_atis]

@kevinobriencha1 @dcsandbrook @bookclubpodhq No? C&P being overwrought is not an unusual opinion a tall.

[Sam Glover @sam_atis]

@AndyMasley @NathanpmYoung @lthlnkso Yeah @lthlnkso is great, have been waiting for people to pick up on him more.

@BpdLion @FraserNelson I don't think Grok is correct, or at least I cannot find it in the code or on the page that Grok links to, but I only did a quick scan so may be mistaken.
