@lforesti I consulenti scrivono codice che va in production da piu di 20 anni, FDE e' solo un rebranding

Despite Rachel Reeves!

Are we all going to have to reassess the Rachel Reeves narrative…

Imagine what could it be if the political class stop doing everything that they can to slow down Britain productive people

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

The UK economy has proved remarkably resilient in the face of Trump’s war on Iran and Labour Budget own goals.
GDP increased by only 0.1 per cent in August, down from a 0.4 per cent rise in July. But June growth revised up to 0.4 per cent from 0.3 per cent previously.
In the quarter to August, GDP rose by 0.7 per cent. In the first half of this year, the UK was the fastest growing economy in the G7 group of rich countries.
So far, so good. The fear now is that August is a harbinger of worse to come.

Whizzing across the fens in a train, I’ve got my laptop out and am planning the next big revision to my code with Claude.

As we pull into Cambridge station, at the heart of one of the countries biggest tech hubs, it stops responding. No signal.

This is embarrassing as a nation.

[Luca Dellanna @DellAnnaLuca]

One problem in 2026 is that we take the world around us for granted, forgetting how much competence, culture, and maintenance it takes to sustain it.

Worse, the consequences of neglect can take years to appear, creating the illusion that those things were unimportant.

Dangerous

BS

Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.

🚨 NEW: An investigation by The Times has found the Government is paying sickness benefits to almost two million people without knowing whether they still qualify

It includes one claimant who has been been waiting 16 years to be reassessed

@LoftusSteve We might hope it's only a vocal minority who feel that way, but I fear it isn't. Too much in science and maths is gatekeepers using funding to give jobs to favourites rather than actually trying to solve important problems

[Steve Loftus @LoftusSteve]

The response by academics in the mathematics field to the OpenAI release has been telling. It's basically been,

"I don't want these problems solved. We want to waste tens of thousands of hours each not solving them".

No interest in what might come from solving them.

What Tao should do right now instead of slide decks? Use AI and his skills to make the AI results understandable. Never bet against technology.

Introducing voter ID was a mistake and it'll be good if Burnham gets rid of it.

[Andrew Lilico @andrew_lilico]

Reform has never really managed to get a "reform" agenda going for anything other than immigration &, less coherently, green policy. I don't think it knows what it would want to reform on the economy, criminal justice, education, health, local government, the constitution etc.

[Andrew Lilico @andrew_lilico]

To all of you telling me this is purely cosmetic & an excuse for the PM to do almost nothing but let market forces play out instead of actually doing anything, whilst pretending to the public he's doing something: YES. That's *precisely* the right policy.

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Au contraire.
C'est une nouvelle ère qui s'ouvre pour les mathématiques.
Une ère où la démonstration formelle est largement automatisée et où l'accent sera reporté sur le développement de nouveaux concepts, nouvelles abstractions, nouvelles définitions, et nouvelles conjectures.

L'invention du bateau a réduit l'importance de la nage, mais a permis la découverte de nouvelles terres.

I'm in the same exact position

[Andrew Lilico @andrew_lilico]

I like Badenoch. I always did. But does she have an answer to the challenge: "What you say sounds excellent & we're sure you believe in it. But why should we believe that if you were to win the Election, your MPs would let you *do* any of it?"

[Francis Loveday | Author: Our Two Democracies @LovedayWrites]

If you’re a couple and you’re on incomes of £100k and £50k, you’re living well.

You buy a nice house with a £600-700k mortgage.

You have kids.

Then you realise you don’t get childcare and the payments are more than the mother earns. So she stops working.

So now you’re on one £100k income, with all the taxes and none of the benefits.

You’re now on the same financial income as a couple on £25k and £25k.

But you’ve got the outgoings of a couple on £150k.

You’re underwater. You’re spending your savings.

All the while the couple on £25k x 2 is screaming at you that you’re rich, while you pay for their benefits out of money you can’t afford.

You decide the only way you can afford to have a family is to move somewhere like Dubai.

Mathematicians are like women. They ask questions, and then they get angry when you answer them.

[eigenrobot @eigenrobot]

really astonishing to me, somehow, to see how many math professors implicitly understand the goal of the profession to be providing them with a prestigious paid hobby rather than increasing the amount of mathematical knowledge available to humanity

yes we're all going to lose our jobs and it sucks and i hope we live through it. and also, this is the most exciting time in the history of math
