“It broke my heart, that was my savings towards a new car,” one woman who paid Milne tens of thousands of pounds told us. “He has just wiped me out.” Who is Andrew Milne - the solicitor sending "very aggressive" letters to Sheffield homeowners?

Nobody had even heard of Katie Lam outside of Westminster until about two weeks ago. Literally all it takes to be considered "brilliant" and a "rising star" on the right of British politics now is just a willingness to say something slightly more racist than all of your competitors

This is brutal, and Amazon is making *$86 BILLION* this year — with $20 billion of that in profit. This may well be the first domino that reveals what so many already know, which is that everyone but the wealthy are already in a recession.

Exclusive: Amazon targets as many as 30,000 corporate job cuts, sources say
Amazon is planning to cut as many as 30,000 corporate jobs beginning Tuesday, as the company works to pare expenses and compensate for overhiring during the peak demand of the pandemic, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Reuters reporting on what we already know - that Reform is accepting crypto donations. As a former anti-corruption specialist, let me be clear. Crypto should be nowhere near UK politics. The risks around anonymity, tracing ownership & manipulation of instruments are all good reason to act.

Yet another election where a noisy online minority against LTNs doesn’t translate to the ballot box. The three candidates campaigning explicitly to halt and remove the LTN in the Moseley by-election received a combined total of just 11.4% of the vote.

I think LLMs are cool and interesting but I agree with this. Democracies have barely survived the fact that we can all give everyone our opinions at all times, regardless of truth or knowledge. Mixed in with realistic fake footage of anything and we’re screwed.

"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

I get the point that's trying to be made here, but it's actually inaccurate. The *MAJORITY* of actual practitioners in the tech industry have a position that is neither of these, it's merely getting drowned out by these two loud positions. The most common belief in the tech industry is simple:

Spoiler alert- it was a Catholic hospital. I’ve been reading stories about people being denied miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy care at Catholic hospitals for well over a decade now, and people have definitely died because of these policies, but maternal mortality data is imperfect.

Does Ruby Central make a habit of directly emailing folks about security incidents and post-mortems? My inbox (over many years) says no. So was this the first ever security issue, or the first that was deemed serious enough?
