One of the most exciting infrastructure projects in Britain right now. If we could build tunnels like the Norwegians we could build new motorways and railways so cheaply that they could be self-funding. The biggest prize is Manchester to Sheffield. thetimes.com/uk/transport/a…

@ChampionshpTalk Burnley. Got flyered by BNP when I got out of the station and then by some other gang in the underpass who thought BNP were a bit soft on immigration

Hull City striker Oli McBurnie has revealed he rang up Steve Clarke ahead of his most recent Scotland squad selection:
“He said to me he builds his squads on loyalty and that Ché Adams and Lyndon Dykes have done really well for him.
“So he sees those two ahead of me.
“He doesn’t see me as a third or fourth-choice striker, so he’s comparing me against Ché and Lyndon, and he sees them ahead of me.”
29-year-old McBurnie has 22 goal involvements (14G, 8A) in the Championship this season.

Let us know your "Forgotten Blades 11". Obviously, to remember them you won't have forgotten them, but you get the idea
The Pinch@ThePinchNews
Our new Memory Lane pod is based on a paradox. How can you build an All-Time Blades XI of players you'd forgotten ever played for us? Out in all good book shops

@yegordb Would love to see materials... Am wrestling with OKRs on AI that seems counterproductive so really interested to see the thinking on measurement
English

Full room for our new class CS 321M: AI Measurement Science today!
Why the class matters: Every field that ignored measurement science paid the price
Psychometrics ran into a simple problem:
- a low score could mean a bad student… or just a harder test
- That forced them to build better ways to measure ability instead of just raw scores
Finance learned it in 2008
- Toxic mortgages were labeled safe. The ratings looked precise, but they didn’t reflect reality
- As long as the numbers looked good, the system kept going… until it unraveled
Medicine is the clearest case
- In the CAST trial, drugs reduced irregular heartbeats. On paper, that looked like success
- In reality, more patients died. The metric improved, but the outcome got worse
In each case, the metrics looked right while the outcomes were not
AI is starting to look similar:
- Benchmarks go up and leaderboards improve
- But models shift, scores drift away from real-world use, and systems get optimized for the metric instead of the outcome
We’re already using these numbers (benchmarks, metrics) to make decisions about deployment, regulation, and trust.
Measurement is the foundation of science. If it’s off, everything built on it is too.
We’ll be sharing more distilled insights from the class - make sure to follow along!
Comment if you want the full materials (slides, textbook, etc.)
(And if you commented on my last post - we're working hard to get the materials to you!)

some cool insights from @yegordb ‘s talk on AI’s impact on developer productivity at @aiDotEngineer 👇
1. The most productive teams are pulling away from the median. The rich get richer

I want to give you a full set of @Stanford course materials on how to measure AI.
I'm on the teaching team for a new class: CS 321M - AI Measurement Science.
Comment or reshare and I'll send you everything: slides, readings, textbook.
Why does this class exist? Because most AI benchmarks are already broken. Saturated, partly memorized, or disconnected from real use.
Yet we still use them to pick models, justify budgets, and shape policy. AI moves fast and measurement hasn't kept up.
This class covers what goes wrong with benchmarks, how to design evaluations that hold up, and what valid measurement looks like.
If we can't measure AI we can't improve it. I think this material matters way beyond one classroom. Help me get it out there.

@ThePinchNews I missed the poll.... I think it's skewed... Maybe they can bring a 10% upside but if you pick someone shit you can have far greater downside.
English

ATM more than 90% of people who have voted reckon a manager has 20%+ impact on a team's results.
Personally, I think that just goes to show how managers take the brunt of outcome bias whereas players and higher-ups get away with a lot.
The Pinch@ThePinchNews
Really interested to know how people would answer this. What % impact do you think a football manager has on a team’s results?
