Teacher say Trellis is a "game-changer" and "Trellis has already helped me be more present”
We know the pressure SEN and ASN teachers are under. Feedback from the Trellis pilot is starting to roll in, and it shows that we’re moving the needle for educators on the front lines.

City AM has actually made an (understandable!) mistake in the lede here. The 76 children figure is *per bat*. With the total budget of the bat tunnel, we could have saved at least 22,800 children from malaria, or housed 6,600 British families for a year.
For the £100m the government spent on a ‘bat tunnel’ for HS2 we could have stopped 76 children dying of malaria or housed 22 families for a year. The affair illustrates the state’s total inability to consider trade-offs, says @SCP_Hughes news.uk.cityam.com/story/229…

Of course manufacturing is in decline. Britain has the highest electricity costs in the developed world. The lunacy of NetZero in real life - rather than the fantasy of a ‘green superpower’.
Not good.
UK GDP shrinks for a second successive month in October, according to latest @ONS figs. Worse than economists expected.
Largely driven by a sharp fall in the output of the production sector (eg manufacturing, mining etc)

Imagine my surprise at learning that the Online Safety Act is why OpenAI has blocked Sora in the UK, putting us in the same impoverished position as the European Union.

Recycling is a psyop to convince people that plastic can be used abundantly and sustainably without consequences.
Of all the recyclable #5 plasticware waste generated in the US only 1% is recycled.

This is fantastic to see: getting serious about nuclear is a foundation for so many other goals - including AI leadership
Nuclear power is vital not just for energy security and climate security, but for economic security for workers and communities across our country.

I'm really fascinated by this dataset from the AI poetry survey paper. Here's another visualization I just made. Survey respondents were shown one of these 10 poems, and either told that they were authored by AI, human, or not told anything.

The real problem with EU cookie banners is that they're still around after several years of achieving nothing but being an annoyance. Mistakes happen. The key is to identify them and correct them quickly. If you can't do that, you're on the wrong path.

I can promise you one thing:
If @matthewclifford had vast amounts of power in the UK political sphere; the UK wouldn’t be the Jaguar brand of the global tech scene. 🤷♂️
The man is brilliant.

Really great and detailed piece on what it would take for the UK to win in AI infrastructure: tl;dr, get serious about nuclear. We have all the levers we need.

How people over the years spend their time.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a graph showing how couples meet, not now people spend their time

I don't understand why people don't get more angry about the cookie banner. Passing a regulation that casually consumes 575 million conscious hours is the equivalent of obliterating 1300 human lifetimes.

The level of failure people have come to tolerate from the NHS is remarkable. Maternity care is the one that gets me, just horror story after horror story in every group of friends.
