The burden of work on GPs has become absolutely enormous and is totally unsustainable. I don’t think the public at large have the slightest comprehension of how much work GPs do and the stresses of the job.

GPs are drowning in patients’ online requests for advice, after last year’s commitment by the health secretary that all online queries would receive a same day response. Hospitals now face the equivalent, as specialists are being overwhelmed with advice requests. www.bmj.com/content/395/...

Wow. This is all kinds of bad.

To be fair LLMs can string together coherent sentences. It might be argued that is super intelligence by someone who can’t do those things.

Dan Niedle did a very good thread on it.

It’s a monumentally dumb idea.

When all the conjectures have been proven or disproven who will come up with more? Who will have learned anything from the trying and failing or succeeding in proving them?

Yes. Very much enjoying learning. In danger of shifting to obsession. Old age already an issue.

I can only claim about a year of climbing but, if your technique is poor enough, that’s more than enough time to ruin it I can attest.

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

I would expect he has a relegation release clause.

We don’t know what the underlying model (gpt-4o) is doing. I’d be very interested if a pure LLM with no specialisation could start to identify abstract concepts like addition but I’d be absolutely amazed if it happened. It seems very unlikely.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The current models are not simply LLMs. It remains a sound metaphor for an LLM.

Speaking as a toon fan I am, though I have genuine sympathy for city fans, who are not responsible in any way.

They need to sell as many players as they can in January. Results are now irrelevant for them. They are about to lose almost all their revenue overnight.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I think city are toast and that is unfair on the fans. It’s hard to see how the club survives.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I was wondering this. The only thing I can imagine (no idea if I’m right) is the evidence was essentially uncovered by hacking. Would that make it inadmissible in a criminal trial?

That was principally because nobody was totally convinced that the other riders were clean either.

Most likely is Wes trying to sound like he knows what is going on, without saying anything directly falsifiable.

I’d love to believe that was a relatively unique attribute amongst modern politicians but I’m not convinced it is.

@kiaoval.com there’s a speaker positioned right next to my seat. It’s deafeningly loud and destroying my enjoyment of the game. I’ve been at quieter napalm death concerts. Turn it down.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

They self reported. I don’t think there’s any comparison.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Yes. Have no doubt city will draw it out as long as they can but ultimately I suspect they will be relegated at the least.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Genuinely doubt it. City yes. PL, no. It’s bad for the brand.

110

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Suspect they have delayed a long time in order to write a judgement that is as appeal proof as they can manage. City will still appeal but don’t want to leave them open goals.

As is Lamal. My point was, Hall is not the only person to mark him successfully. Lamal is not Pele.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

There’s only 1 Dan Burn! (And he’s from Blyth).

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I like Hall but there are several full backs who have kept Yamal in their back pocket. He’s an excellent player, not Pele.

This is a departure from your usual content (trying to get Scalvini to sign).

😀 They must have had some idea is my guess, given some charges relate to payments to them.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The punishment needs to be huge but a football club is much more than players, coaches trophies…. It’s a community. Whatever happens that community should be preserved. I have little sympathy for coaches and players to be honest. They knew what was going on.

A lot of great coffee places in Bristol.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I have zero doubt they will try and tie everything up in a lengthy legal battle. That’s clearly their intention. But the PL seem to actually be taking their responsibilities seriously, which is a genuine surprise, but is quite encouraging.

020

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Failed to properly disclose fees paid. Failed to properly disclose payments to players and managers. Created fake sponsorships to inflate revenue streams and then obstructed the investigation. I believe those are the basics of the charges.

020

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

They’ll try and tie things up in endless appeals.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Yes 100% this. Should get a standing ovation when he returns.

Jon Horrocks @horrocksjon.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

As you know I’m a massive fan. I think he also created an identity for the team and club, which MJ seems to have the good sense to try and maintain.

Tony Blair doesn't seem to acknowledge the economic gains we'd get from rejoining an entirely unreformed EU. Maybe 5% boost to income per head, in perpetuity. We shouldn't do that because it's not worth it unless the EU acquires other nebulous characteristics?

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

I want my country back. By that, I mean a country where I would be confident that a thug who livestreamed himself stabbing an RNLI dingy on an active operation would a) Be universally condemned b) Be swiftly arrested, put on trial and if found guilty, face many years in jail. I miss that country.
