The ability to grow these neurons in a dish opens new possibilities for understanding what goes wrong. There’s even an unexpected connection to obesity treatment: The hindbrain contains circuits that regulate hunger — which is precisely how weight-loss drugs like semaglutide work.

For me, LLMs are clearly powerful machines, but everything about their construction and deployment in society by the people constructing them appears oriented around achieving a political project that deeply conflicts with my values or a vision of a future I want to live in and dont have a choice in

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

In others, notably ADHD and autism, rising diagnoses and referrals appear to exceed changes in underlying epidemiological prevalence and are likely to reflect a combination of:

improved recognition
changing help-seeking behaviour
institutional incentives
pressures within existing service pathways
Across both ADHD and autism, best currently available population-based estimates remain relatively stable, while administrative diagnoses, self-identification and recorded service demand have increased substantially. In autism, the evidence also points to particularly rapid growth in identified need within educational systems, including increasing identification among girls and among young people without learning disability.

These patterns suggest that rising demand is not simply the result of increasing prevalence, but of several processes operating simultaneously, including:

real increases in distress in some groups
improved recognition of previously unmet need
changing expectations about support
systems that frequently rely on formal diagnosis as the primary route to assistance
Across the system, support is too often accessed through pathways that are slow, fragmented and heavily dependent on diagnostic categorisation. While diagnosis remains essential for some forms of clinical decision-making, the evidence suggests that current arrangements do not always provide the most effective or efficient way of identifying and responding to need.

In particular, where access to support depends heavily on formal diagnosis, demand for diagnostic assessment can increase more rapidly than systems are able to respond, generating long waiting times, duplication of assessment and pressure on specialist services.

The next phase of the review will therefore focus on clarifying the relationship between distress, diagnosis and need, and on examining how systems might respond more effectively to these patterns. A central objective will be to identify opportunities for developing more coherent, evidence-informed care pathways that enable support to be provided earlier and more proportionately, while ensuring that specialist services are available in a timely and appropriate manner for those whose needs are most complex.

If you're in software, your business is your people. Knowing how to keep it running is the knowledge embedded in your workers. The CapEx etc in terms of buildings, network infrastructure etc is just a life support system for facilitating the workers to do what they know how to do.

Me, let’s do a bit of my own research about this guy before I make my mind and…. Oh. Oh. Ohhhh dear

Labour's former work and pensions secretary James Purnell has called on the party to overhaul its welfare policies.
in

f
囚
In a speech in Australia on Saturday, Mr Purnell backed the 'Blue Labour' movement within the party, which focuses on winning back Labour's working-class vote. He said welfare policies needed to emphasise a
'contributory principle' in which benefit claimants see their payments and access to housing more closely linked to how much they have already put into the system.
He said that working-class voters such as Rochdale pensioner Gillian Duffy, who was branded a 'bigoted woman' by former prime minister Gordon Brown during the run-up to the last election, have deserted Labour because they could not understand the party's definition of fairness. 'They felt people were getting help who hadn't paid in.
And they thought that people who needed protection weren't getting it, he said.
