Performing in the iconic Heaven nightclub in central London, The Gloaming is an evocative exploration of the multi-faceted themes of this Autumn festival: the sacred and profane, eerie and elemental, liminal and transporting—and features works from the medieval era to contemporary masterpieces.

I’ve got some more great ideas for the mail to run with- solve shoplifting by ELIMINATING SHOPS. Car accidents? GET RID OF ROADS. Only when there are NO TREES LEFT TO BURN WILL WE BE FREE OF THE SCOURGE OF WILDFIRE.

If you're trans and work for a sizable UK company or organisation, now is a great time to log into your HR portal and remove any information you can on your sex/gender, e.g. by replacing any information with "prefer not to say".

This is so, so well-articulated.
People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”
