Looking for Growth @lfg_uk

You wanted a nice day out flying kites with your family. But @NaturalEngland won't let you. Natural England won't let us build, won't let us have fun. It won't let us do anything. The Government empowers them to block everything. This has to end.

This is a strong and not-completely-obvious theory that merits a chapter in the book that @thomasforth is clearly warming up to write on North-South disparity and what North England needs (devolution and infra etc).

This is one of the most spellbinding anecdotes I've ever read, and it’s just Ray Bradbury rambling about a carnival worker he met when he was twelve. “He said, ‘You were my best friend outside of Paris in 1918. You were wounded in the Ardennes and you died in my arms there.’”

Labour's extraordinary position (unloved yet all-powerful) may force them to take far braver pro-growth steps than anything previously imagined by our timid ruling class. Poor coalition-building, a hostile media, and a country in depression mean their (our) only hope is growth.

If they had a platform, most humans would put clicks above truth. They wouldn’t do it outright, but incrementally and imperceptibly - like water coming to the boil. This is not about deception but self-deception. The algorithm doesn’t demand lies - it rewards a restructuring of…

Kicking off the new year, our paper by @leo_speidel et al. is out describing what to me is a breakthrough in ancient genomics. By using genealogies to study ancestry we can get much more resolution to study finer-scale history. We call this method Twigstats.

@daveg I just produced (via Notion and ChatGPT) a better guide to Cambridge interviews (example NatSci dialogues) than anything we ever had. It really didn't take long. There may be mistakes, but I haven't found any yet. It's shockingly good IMHO. Have a look: diagnostic-button-104.notion.site/Cambridge-Natu…

Anyone else used ChatGPT for language learning? I did a study recently on how well ChatGPT speaks Chinese. The results are quite interesting: imlearningmandarin.com/2024/05/19/doe…
