I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner. I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.

France is not fucking around New legislation demands all *existing* carparks with 80 or more spaces must install a solar roof (in 3-5 years) This could generate up to 11 gigawatts, which is the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors electrek.co/2022/11/08/franc…

Let's get this straight: Rejoining the EU is a complex process that will take years of negotiations. Removing the economic harm of Brexit needs alignment with the Single Market & Customs Union and can be done in weeks. The poverty we're facing now DOESN'T NEED TO BE THIS BAD!

New post: It makes no economic sense to keep shrinking the state without changing what the state is meant to do mainlymacro.blogspot.com/202… It's fashionable for many in the media to say public spending cuts are inevitable. Such statements are out of touch, highly partisan and false.

Imagine lying to get the Brexit you wanted, ousting May, sacking 21 MPs, installing Johnson, illegally proroguing parliament, settling for a mediocre leave-supporting cabinet, putting the GFA at risk, voting for Truss and still believing that it’s someone else’s fault.

Brutal.

One Tory MP: It is actually incredible that the UK central bank has had to step in to protect the UK from the actions of the UK's own government! I mean, just think of that for a moment! A humiliation

The British prime minister’s toxicity is not just a personal characteristic. It also says something important about the political system he sits atop econ.st/3amxpTQ

A shame Bob Conquest isn’t around to nod approvingly at this: “And most importantly, this war has shown that NATO — underpinned by the U.S. and Britain, and with Eastern European members as its bedrock — is the future of European security.” politico.eu/article/anglosph…

This 2 min video should be mandatory for everyone.
Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.
