@GWRHelp Is the 13.59 on time? Really poor service - no word on the cancellation, guy in the office doesn't care. I spend thousands every year with GWR and so depressing.

@michaelbhaskar Hi there, I am really sorry to hear this. I have just checked this service, and it is on it's way. This service has been delayed by a fault on the train, and is currently at Worcester Shrub Hill - Rose

@GWRHelp waiting for train at Kingham no word whether it has been cancelled or not, just didn't show up (this was the 13.02 to Paddington). Guy in the office just shut up shop, no word on what happened.

@GWRHelp Trains from Kingham/Oxford to Paddington and back are standing room only every single time at the minute. It's completely insane. This isn't ok. You can't charge people £90+ to stand day in day out.

So proud and delighted that Canelo is joining DK. This is an amazing outcome for the business. It's the fruits of ten years of hard graft, so many ups, downs, adventures and moments I'll never forget. Here's to the next chapter for Canelo! thebookseller.com/news/independe…

“tell toranaga-sama this is just a temporary liquidity problem, not a solvency problem. our risk model didn’t account for this level of volatility but we are confident we can weather the storm” “the anjin was on the wrong side of the yen carry trade and is getting margin called”

@azeem @jackclarkSF And few businesses have seriously built workflows truly utilizing the capabilities on display.

Can't stop thinking about @jackclarkSF's argument that if we stopped AI development right now there would still be years - decades maybe - of further improvements via capability overhang, applications and integrations, efficiencies and learnings. I agree.

It's amazing and disappointing that already the government are pulling out of the exact measures that would support long term growth. Didn't think the doom loop would continue with this alacrity tbh.
Ben Hopkinson@Ben_A_Hopkinson

To re-open 3 miles of track to Portishead, the local council had to complete a 79,187 page long planning application. If printed out, that's 14.6 miles of paper (4 1/2 times the line itself!). Then they had to wait 3 years for approval. Yet now this project may be scrapped.🧵

Things like Project Naptime googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2024/06/projec… show us that today's AI systems are far more powerful than they appear - you just need to build domain-specific scaffolds

Hard agree with this. Britain needs to somehow create a cadre of MUCH better hardware jobs. Tech is preferable to finance where my entire generation of grads went, but still, there's so much more to be done here.
Rob Miller@Rob__Miller

UK's elite hardware talent is being wasted. ‘Imperial, Oxford, and Cambridge produce world-class engineers. Yet post-graduation, their trajectory is an economic tragedy - and a hidden arbitrage opportunity.’ josef.cn/blog/uk-talent

@yudhanjaya Yes, it was amazing. We backed it at the publisher I then worked for - despite not understanding what it would be or how big it would become!

Suburban intensification in C19 Vienna, with mansion blocks replacing the older fabric still visible in the foreground. Maybe a 300% increase in density, and probably better sanitation and build quality. The modern form of most European cities is the result of this process.

London could be affordable if councils allowed Islington style town houses, & Pimlico flats- or if govt created a permitted development for that. We could make London affordable: Labour are following the Tories in deciding not to. Big shame, especially for the young.
Anna Clarke@AnnaClarke_____

@timleunig London is the least affordable place, and always has been. Does that mean that every year we increase the targets in London compared with everywhere else? Just creates total fantasy targets for London which won't be delivered.

We re-framed the newly restored Battle of San Romano by Uccello last week. We replaced a 20th century gilded replica with a newly made 15th century style intarsia frame, made from walnut with boxwood inlay.
