I don't think anyone without a vested interest in getting Starmer or Labour out of office has a grievance with how he has handled it in the first week. It would be a really bad idea to change course without the circumstances materially changing.
Keir Starmer put in a real bind.
On the one hand, he could join in with a war which is almost certainly illegal and ill-fated, kowtowing to Trump (one of the most unpopular people in the world, especially among people who might vote Labour next GE), and giving Farage and Badenoch a huge win...
Have been a bit frustrated by some of the conversation about Labour's voter coalition.
I've written about who the "Hero Voters" actually were, how we won them, and what we need to do to earn their support next time.

I actually re-watched the series and film (Serenity) in the last few months. Some things about it are still great to this day, and I got plenty nostalgic, but it also carries around a fair amount of misogynistic baggage (I wonder why) and it would be hard to imagine a reboot working...
Subtract 30, divide by 2 is a decent approximation to converting from degrees Farenheit to degrees Celsius across ambient temperatures.
Wow my mood is super low
Ah right, an impairment is when you thought your building was worth £8mn and it gets valued instead at £6mn. That isn't a problem unless you were planning to sell it, or you need to spend £2mn to get it to a usable condition!
So towards the top of RG for % spent on staff costs. Unsurprising they are targeting staff cuts, but it's a strategy that works much less than senior management like to imagine.
Thanks for the charts!
I have not, but my maths suggests the note has frequency of 58.3 Hz or some power of 2 multiple of that. It should look like it is vibrating extremely slowly?
If you bend by a quarter-tone you would almost identically sync with the camera frame rate!
I get that, but I actually think it's good to have a clear distinction between the operators for variable assignment, function parameter setting, and equality testing.
But if it's in your own code, you're not hurting anyone!
Given that #Rstats as a language belongs in the bottom right (I say with affection), I'll allow it!
No, I think using '=' for assignment in #Rstats goes on the bottom row... 😉
"It upsets the people who want me to fail" probably isn't a good enough decision making heuristic to use it regularly or for big decisions...
#NFL I really need to see Sam Darnold tear the Patriots to pieces and get his revenge for the "seeing ghosts" game 🤞

So interesting! Suggests there is willingness to pay a price premium for free range which is unaffected by the regulation change (people don't think the change was enough, or don't know about it) or income effect.
Not sure you would put it down to supernormal profits being allowed in the short run.
We’re running a new study exploring how young people use AI chatbots like ChatGPT for mental health support. If you’re aged 16-25, live in the UK, and have used AI chatbots for mental health, we’d love to hear from you!! @oxchildpsych.bsky.social @emmasoneson.bsky.social

The deadline for this funded #PhD studentship suiting #mathematics #statistics #CompSci #HealthEcon is in less than 24 hours (12:00 noon GMT)!
Still just enough time to put together an application 👍
#math #stats #ComputerScience
Please note the deadline. More details and the link to apply at www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...
I'm very happy to discuss further with anyone interested.
Please circulate among relevant programmes.
Some of these analyses are currently difficult to conduct and involve computationally expensive naive Monte Carlo.
We will investigate alternatives which can leverage probabilistic programming techniques (as seen in PyTorch, Jax, Pyro, Stan) for lightning fast approximations, and more!
This would be a great PhD for anyone keen on #mathematics #statistics #CompSci #HealthEconomics #UncertaintyQuantification #UQ
Health economic models are used for various analyses to inform decision makers including govt agencies (NICE), research funders and pharma companies...
Please share this EPSRC funded #PhD studentship in the UK!
How can we use state of the art programming techniques to unlock complex analyses and new ways of working in the evaluation of health technologies?

Deadline Monday 12 at midday (London, UK)
More details..
Just over 1 week left to apply for these funded #PhD #studentship opportunities at the University of Exeter, one of which is to work with me on the intersection of #HealthEconomics #ComputerScience and #statistics
Get in touch with me if you have any questions!

I'm guessing that now there are actually questions for Farage to answer, he won't be on Question Time for a change?
***FUNDED PHD STUDENTSHIP***
Are you interested in how mathematics and computer science can be used to make cost-effectiveness analysis more efficient?

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.
Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.
This is just ridiculous as a policy. We would think it was atrocious if someone we cared for was kicked out of another country they'd made home, especially after securing a settled legal status.
The Conservatives are not serious, they are flailing.
