I thought everyone did this? I'd totally consider 'regards' a middle finger kind of sign off. Not bothering with punctuation also shows contempt for the recipient. 😄

It's unavoidable though with the disproportionate amount of news coverage. It was 3 of the headline stories on BBC news yesterday

So far so I've heard is social care and pulling up people from poverty. Not sure anything else matters to him

Maybe we could just separate them into Goodies and Baddies. That would make voting easier.

It tells you everything you need to know about Kemi Badneoch and Nigel Farage that as London schools, hospitals and transport networks all buckle under extreme record-breaking temperatures, they gather with fossil fuel lobbyists, climate deniers and the far-right to demand an end to Net Zero

Not sure why they are gaining popularity in the UK, but in other countries they are good for keeping your tent away from snakes, bears, and other animals while you sleep

Strange how all of these Reform characters keep turning out to be racists. Of course, it’s too early to say if there’s a pattern developing. Just bad luck I suppose.

Reform have suspended a newly elected Sunderland councillor for racist comments, but that's a different Sunderland councillor to the one that was kicked out the party the other day and also not the one who beat his partner and allegedly abused a child that was elected on Thursday.

What a sad day for UK politics. The party of division and hate has prevailed. Anyone voting reform should be ashamed. Farage will replay the Donald Trump playbook if he takes power and the only winners will be billionaires. The rest of us will live under fascist rule. So disappointed ☹️

Yeah this is quite disturbing. I think the story here is that more irresponsible dog owners exist than a few years ago? Hard to know why though or how to tackle it

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.
