/r/London is currently love-bombing Angus Steakhouse in the hope that AI google scrapers start recommending it in listicles so influencers and tourists stay away from actual nice places 🤞

I think start-ups and entrepreneurs need more future CGT clarity too - but f*ck Revolut. Pay your damn (current) taxes

V interesting, pragmatic brief. Am bit wary of one of the underlying studies (does quality *really* drop if you weigh up risks of rejection/handling time and publish in a lower JIF venue before deadlines?) and reframing quality q as "what somebody else has £ to pay for" 🪑🪑🚢🧊

We should scrap the REF. We could save universities £430 million, improve research financial sustainability, increase support for spinouts and drive technological diffusion to support regional productivity growth by switching to a system focused on “external research income”. 🧵

No judgement, but I was surprised. I'd assumed the use in Pubmed abstracts was partly driven by researchers whose first lang isn't English being forced to submit English manuscripts, but this policy dataset is docs from the UK, US, Canada etc

Change is even more pronounced if you zoom into 2023, first half of year is 0.24% and second half 0.43%

Ah, loved this. Generative AI overuses certain words like "delve" & you can use this to guess at how often ChatGPT was used in e.g pubmed abstracts. It's a thing in policy too! Looked at English language policy docs from @overtonio and occurrences have pretty much doubled

MYSTERY SOLVED! Why does ChatGPT use the word "delve" so much? We've seen a 10x increase in the proportion of medical studies using the word "delve" from 2022 to 2024. But why? @alexhern at The Guardian might've just solved it. Thread below, complete with the trail of clues:

What's the story behind "retractions" like this - more of a withdrawl, I guess? Similarly Cochrane has things like a review withdrawn because it's been replaced by 2+ more specific reviews. Shouldn't the orig article be left intact wherever possible? cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10…

@Dr_W_E_Bulmer Yeah, I did this in covid times - def a significant investment over a shed but insulated office 100x better (warm in winter, secure, power, no damp - better insulated than the actual house), a much nicer environment and wouldn’t underestimate the psychological value of that!

Both sides of the Tweed@Dr_W_E_Bulmer·
I am thinking of getting a 'garden office' so I can work from home more effectively without getting in the way. Even a small one is several grand. Or I could get a shed for a fraction of that cost. Is the difference, in terms of sturdiness, insulation, damp-resistance, worth it?

Shedding a tear for LloydsDirect, which had the best UX for any health related service I've ever used (now closed down & sold by private equity owners to Pharmacy2U which... needs work. Pharmacy2U please hire the LloydsDirect web team)
