One of my best food related memories is going to a friends house for a “gyoza party” while I was living in Japan. We all made hundreds of gyoza, ate way too much of them and got hideously drunk. It was a great time.
my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.
Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8

AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All
I talked to the scholars who literally wrote the book on tech bubbles—and applied their test.

Birmingham, like many other cities, has significant problems.Rooted in social deprivation, the shadow of austerity and systemic effects of capitalism on urban inequity.It is also vibrant, welcoming and fun. I had the time of my life when I lived there.This was made more rich by its multiculturalism.
Feeling a lot of love for Brum at the moment for some reason.

Politics is almost always framed as “how can we win the next election?”, which naturally makes it reactive to the whims of the voter.
What certain organisations have worked out, is that they can move the needle of the voter, and be lying in wait with a policy. This is the neoliberal playbook /

Politics is not like selling biscuits, where the task is to find out what people like & flog it to them.
It's a moral activity. It's about arguing for the things you believe in. It's about *shaping* the "median voter".
Farage has moved the centre-ground of politics. His opponents can move it back.

Crying racism only hurts Labour
Activists like it, but the median voter will feel attacked.

I kind of want to start an #NHSefficiency thread. My favourite is when I worked at a trust where it once took a colleague 15 minutes to get through to switchboard.

Just think, could it be “Pre-sepsis”?

Is “pre-sepsis” the new sepsis?

In general, this podcast is excellent.
But, the triple bill of this episode, then part 2 and the bonus on the lab leak, is absolutely top notch.

I was worried about this show as I struggle with some of Redmayne’s acting choices. But not in this. He is bloody excellent.

Given that I was playing warhammer 40K rogue trader last night, this seems fitting.
you're transported into the last video game you played. don't tell me what it is, i can't hear you anyway. you are now stuck in a virtual world and if the console is turned off you will die. your soul will be stuck in the wires and you will not reach heaven

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

A very worthwhile read. Lumping patients together in an RCT without understanding disease models and delineating phenotypes only end up with decades of negative trials.
