My limited experience of blogging has revealed to me that I get more views when: (1) I have short titles; and (2) I'm being negative. I want to do more of (1) and less of (2), so been revamping a few of my posts at wildtypehuman.substack.com

We should give MPs large caseworker teams (like 25 people each) who can be professional social workers for them and stop the MP themselves having to do it. It’s one of the only things I can imagine that would be popular *and* make it less bad to be an MP.

NHS hospital: I noticed the clock on the wall showed the wrong time. A nurse told me they knew, but they wouldn’t report it because replacing the battery through the NHS would cost £70. A £2 battery... £70. How? Why? That's when I began to dig further. 🧵

@DKThomp But we don’t use LLMs to discover new drugs. We use different models and different, highly proprietary training sets. LLMs are language models. Why would you expect them to be able to discover novel disease targets?

Looking for Growth@lfg_uk·
Students & parents should know the facts before they take out the debt. But the truth about graduate earnings has been hidden for years. Government has records tracking graduate earnings, but they refuse to publish them in full. It's time for the truth. Release the records.

Ending Europe's stagnation might be the most important thing in the world right now. Capitalism and liberal democracy have their deepest roots in Europe, but its economic sclerosis is making it irrelevant. • Five US companies spend more on R&D annually than the entire public sector of every European country combined. • Europe's AI sector is worth less than one hundredth of America's. • It is five times more expensive to fire someone in Germany or France than in America. Staff turnover in the US is ten times higher than it is in Germany. • There is no shortage of European entrepreneurs – the problem is that many of them are moving away to set up their businesses. One in ten US startups has a European co-founder. • EU countries shut down 80 gigawatts' worth of coal-fired power plants during the 2010s, with most of the shortfall being made up by expensive, unreliable wind and solar power. • The EU charges about six times more per ton of carbon than China does, and about 50 percent more than California. Most US states don't price carbon emissions at all. On the Works in Progress Podcast, I sat down with @pietergaricano and @Aria_Babu to talk about what's gone wrong and what Europeans can do to return to the growth and dynamism that once made Europe the world's preeminent civilization.

@webdevMason Much anti-aging research seems to come down to damping down the innate immune system. Live longer but influenza cripples you. It will be interesting to see where the tradeoff is here…? Maybe you don’t form an adaptive response properly?

I would LOVE to rid my family of both minor and serious infectious illness, but if the immune system already has a "just do what you do, but better" mode, the obvious question is why it hasn't been adaptive for that to be constantly activated by default

A single nasal spray vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, as well as bacterial lung infections, and may even ease allergies, says U.S. researchers. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Ed Miliband’s lack of basic understanding of energy taxation and economics was on full display here. And these numpties are in the government. It’s hardly a surprise that the country is in a total mess.

Isomorphic must be in a crazy bind right now. Given the hype about their models/frontier capabilities, I can't see how they could reveal their actual pipeline without it being a huge let down. Heading towards: "solved biomolecular design and all I got was a me-too TL1A mAb"

@rsasaki0109 It might just as well the agent writes the paper, makes rebuttals, polishes and makes final submission. Then the agent books air tickets and attends the conference and writes reports. The human author did nothing except paying for electricity bills

@teortaxesTex This is my big worry: low pay and substandard colleagues, why would anyone competant want to move into politics? But it's actually *the* most important thing that could happen right now in the UK.

Am I wrong or have none of these people had any experience in governance? Lawyers, investment bankers, think tankers, officials. Not one was, like, a mayor. I get that UK is not China, but is that their normal practice?

Or in other words: «the three last prime ministers of the Yookay all plunge to -50% net satisfaction, it just may take 16, 11 or 2 months» I think it's not about Sir Keir. The entire regime is losing legitimacy.
