I am thrilled to share the news that Fractile's mission to build chips and systems that unlock the next generation of AI scaling has been bolstered, with a $220M funding round led by Accel, Factorial Funds, and Founders Fund, alongside some incredible backers old and new. AI inference is driving the defining infrastructure buildout of the 21st Century. We've written a bit about where we think capabilities must go, and how Fractile is working to bring this about: fractile.ai/news/fractile-… It has been a privilege working on one of the hardest but most rewarding technical challenges of our time for over three years, with the most brilliant, kind and driven people I could have ever hoped to work alongside. We are still just getting started. There is a lot to be done to deliver on our goals, but we are grateful to have the support of so many people in chasing these down every minute of every day. Thanks, all, for being part of the Fractile mission! 🚀 @fractile_ai

There’s a vacancy at No10 if anyone’s interested 😀


One of the structural inadequacies of 🇬🇧 political reporting - & deffo cf other countries I lived in - is the idolatry of youth in 🇬🇧 ‘factory’ of political correspondents Most other countries’ political commentators are @afneil-like in their knowledge/vintage






The University of Chicago will guarantee free tuition for students with family incomes below $250,000 starting in Fall 2027. Students with family incomes below $125,000 will also receive free housing and meals.

The salary you actually need to feel comfortable in the UK in 2026 has more than doubled in the last 15 years. In 2010, £35,000 was a solid graduate salary. You could rent decently, eat out, take a holiday, save a bit. In 2026, the equivalent number — same lifestyle, same level of comfort — is closer to £75,000. That's the difference between 'affording your life' and 'getting by.' £35K used to put you on the comfortable side of that line. £75K is now the entry point. Most people earning £45-£60K in 2026 are quietly running paycheck to paycheck, feeling vaguely confused about why a salary that sounds substantial doesn't actually go very far.

🚨 WATCH: Kemi Badenoch mocks Wes Streeting's leadership ambitions "Why don't you just do your job? There's no point him giving me dirty looks - we all know what he's been up to"

The single biggest challenge facing the Labour movement is stopping Nigel Farage becoming Prime Minister. Labour’s NEC must allow Andy Burnham to stand in Makerfield. Blocking him again would weaken Labour even further in the polls - and we may never recover.
