For notfarmers

It turns up at supermarkets because the farmers are royally shagged by the corporate greed of the supermarkets et al. That in turn is further shafting the general public who buy it at higher prices.

So you're happy to drive small family farms to the wall in order to satisfy your pathetic jealousy? Good to know.

Indeed. I'd like to see this person working on a farm 365 days a year like some of the farmers in my constituency.

In anything else other than food production I would agree with you. If food production isn’t profitable then that is not the fault of the farmer, rather the fault of the supermarket or government. If you can’t make a living from producing food there is something seriously wrong with the world!

Land price to farm income ratio were not skewed by outside wealth shelterers that bumped up land prices. Land prices were not skewed by carbon offset capitalism or corporate expansion. It was a different world.

I get life is now busier & both parents usually work but my other half does aswell & we mostly plan & cook from scratch. Obviously have the odd quick & easy meal but weekends we try & get kids involved aswell. It can be done

Obviously. This LLM exercise is going to be a case study chucking resource at the notproblem

100%! People have forgotten how to cook aswell. It's too easy to order quick cheap food (non healthy in most cases) on their phones. You don't even have to out to get it now

Would you like to talk about council tax? There appear to be ridiculous amounts of terraced houses in that there London that are worth way more than farms with an actual and necessary output.

Attacking councils for considering a four-day working week shows a failure of imagination from Labour. The evidence is clear: productivity rises, people are healthier, and skills stay in local communities. #FourDayWeek #FutureOfWork

What is making me giggle slightly is how fucking confused anyone from outside the UK is going to be by this

Thank you. I am now less baffled. It would probably be impossible to put the genie back into the bottle regarding land prices. I have long thought that supermarkets' aggressive monopoly pricing strategy should be addressed by Parliament.

I wonder how long it will be until they wont let us leave and go to Europe.

Looking at this post, and the responses, is profoundly depressing. Wall to wall ignorance of the reality of agriculture which keeps every one of them fed and alive. The disconnect between urban people and the food system is huge and only getting bigger. Some of this is down to lack of education,

They should scrap it, not just water it down. Passing on a working farm that's producing food for this country is not something that should be taxed. Sure, if the kids sell it off within 10 years then tax it to the hilt. But scapegoating working farmers is stupid in the extreme.

The government figures. Now, I have to admit, those might be, err, unreliable… I have a student doing a dissertation on this, very much from your perspective, so I might well be better educated by the summer…

Does he not know how a 4 day week works ? It’s the same 39 hours condensed into 4. Why would they cut wages ? Honestly we’re living in a world where every government is trying to out do each other in stupidity…

I am very proud of folks in my lab or who I know well who are applying to graduate school. They include 4 current postbacs, 2 summer students from Ghana, & 2 students I know well as a research sponsor or professor. All are so talented & most/all already have interviews scheduled! Look for them!

I've farming relations with land in agrienvironmental schemes that have lost income. It has not been topped up by the schemes. Payments delayed (all paid in arrears), increased input costs without uplift in schemes payments, and unable to shift to updated schemes. Government used them for politics

Looks like a bunch of idiots that don't know the first thing about farming.

This moron thinks farmers, working long hours to keep the population fed, are doing it "as a hobby". FFS, what is wrong with some people.

🧪PSA The introduction of universal dose of Hep B vaccine led to a steep decline in Hep B infections in children. Before 1991, 20,000 newborns/yr were infected. Now it is fewer than 20. This trend will be reversed now. RFK Jr. must go! @standupforscience.bsky.social@savehealthresearch.bsky.social

Not bloody likely! I'll never fit in with Reform anyway.

The Family Farm Tax should never have been forced through by the Treasury. Lib Dems were first to call it out. We have consistently opposed it. The anxiety and distress caused - especially to older farmers with no time to adjust - has been inexcusable. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

True. I can't say I'm too up on the detail, but this has been a massive challenge for next door. From the headlines, it looks like it's gone away for them. The next drainage meeting should be a little lighter.

Their reasoning will be interesting.

Bloody hell. The Farming IHT is being changed. Need to look at the details carefully and discuss this, but it is a start!

The shine has definitely come off Reform. Perhaps all those revelations about Farage and his antisemitic/racist comments have finally broken through.

It’s so tiring.

Labour not understanding the basics again... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well, it clearly wasn’t a well informed dream. Looks like I’ll just have to come over to the Dales and learn more…

This gave my husband a good laugh at breakfast this morning. I could only hope for such interesting dreams!

He's playing your song, @swaledalemutton.bsky.social

*stares in American* Making a profit on *wool*?

There’s a film coming out in May (The Sheep Detectives).

Sorry mate, we do the accounts for some farms in the northern fells and its not recommended unless you've got a side business like sheep dipping or holiday rentals to make up the losses!

Good morning from me and my escapist dreams last night of running off to Yorkshire and becoming a sheep farmer You know it’s bad when your dreams consist of looking at wool prices and figuring out if you can turn a profit this quarter

this is the lie at the heart of the proposed use case for llms at its best, llms are a solution to the blank page problem - it can give you something to fix rather than having to write something from scratch but if you CANT correct it, the output is so unreliable as to be useless

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

I am once again urging all my colleagues in healthcare, life sciences, and medical communications that Prasad, Makary, Bhattacharya, and anyone else involved with RFK Jr's destruction of American public health needs to be shunned and shamed out of the industry

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research: they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

Time to hang the rugby boots up for good .

What sort of research have you done in your own life experience before LLM's were an option? Do you have expertise in how research is done?

The good news is we hsve 90billionneurond firing away in our brains. Match that if you can #AI!

I’m a artist And writer and love music And have seen the peat map… AI can get in the fucking bin and then that bin can roll down the ‘fuck all the way off’ hill over the ‘fuck right out of here’ cliff and into the ‘and don’t come back you fuck’ sea and never come back. Ok? Is that clear enough?

The good news is, the bubble IS bursting! Microsoft and others are scaling back their plans because people aren't using the products. Residents keep refusing new data centers near their homes. Game companies keep getting backlash when they use AI to make games. It will take time, but it's bursting.

Oh yeah, they’ll get big golden parachutes and fat government bailouts just like the fucksticks who caused the ‘08 recession.

Not to mention the more immediate concern of it triggering a massive recession. The US’ recent GDP growth is tied almost entirely to the AI bubble, when it pops a lot of people and companies are gonna lose a lot of money a lot of fast.
