I’m not sure people understand just how much higher these types of visa fees are in the UK compared to our competitors but they are egregious ripoffs that harm our science sector without affecting immigration numbers more than a smidgeon.

it is actually incredibly important we disambiguate this for as many people as possible. there is a very real risk that business owners or service providers might start policing trans use of single-gender spaces only because they think this is a legal requirement (it is not!).
anyone leveraging the Supreme Court ruling to make claims about the validity of transgender identities or the forcible exclusion of trans people from single-gender spaces (eg toilets or public services) are not 'enforcing the law'

Unfortunately it's not related to forecasting.

On the relations between human, labor, machine, and human conditions.

My skepticism towards Generative AI leads me to this book. I haven't finished yet but I bet this is a life learning process, especially in making arguments/ points of view on GenAI.

"While we’ve seen remarkable developments in machine learning over the past year, I feel that some people are starting to lose sight of basic forecasting principles."

I will quote this sentence on my potentially future presentation.

Ivan (@isvetunkov.bsky.social) and I just finished our first online Demand Forecasting with R. We learnt basic principles of forecasting as a set of rigorous activities - it's not merely talking about models! It was fun and pleasure to meet people across the world to join us. Happy forecasting!

Scientists who don’t understand that #science is political are dangerous. Who can participate in the Academy is political. What data we value, collect, analyze, interpret, & report on is political. I’m disappointed to see a NAS president suggesting science is & must be apolitical. That’s a problem.
