A carefully constructed, hand made everyday Jacket. Smart / casual defined in a product.

The Classic Smock is the epitome of coastal workwear, a garment we have made for decades. The Yarmouth Oilskins Classic Smock is the authentic, original smock. It is still a garment that is remarkably functional, comfortable and an absolute wardrobe staple – if you ask us, everyone should have one.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees. I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Unusual last-minute change means panel of three will now hear case rather than Mr Justice Chamberlain

he adverse judgment on Brexit is not a forecast. It is a reality. “The Economic Impact of Brexit”, whose authors include Stanford’s Nicholas Bloom, recently published by the US National Bureau of Economic Research, delivers the verdict: its estimates “suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6 per cent to 8 per cent . . . We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12 per cent and 18 per cent, employment by 3 per cent to 4 per cent and productivity by 3 per cent to 4 per cent.” If this is even roughly correct, Brexit has been nothing short […]

populism is economically, as well as politically, damaging. How damaging is illustrated by the fate of Argentina, a country that has been plagued by populism since the rule of Hipólito Irigoyen in 1916. Since then its real GDP per head has halved relative to that of the US and gone from five times Brazil’s to one and a quarter times

The affinity between the populist and the confidence trickster is also easier to see through the frame of cognitive reflection. The populist thrives in an environment where people act on their intuitions; so does the scammer. This doesn’t mean every populist is a con artist, but it does mean that they are likely to package their message in a similar way, and will seek to create the same fast-twitch, low-context information environment.

Julie Davis, the US chargée d’affaires in Kyiv, was also present at the meeting and told the other diplomats that although the terms of the deal were punishing for Ukraine, it had little choice but to accept or face worse in future. “The deal does not get better from here, it gets worse,” she said.

While OpenAI had the first-mover advantage, Google has the cash-in-the-bank advantage. It already offers some of its models for free, and if Google wants to undercut rivals on price to get more of them into people's hands, it could.

There are two possible problems with Kruger’s switch to Reform. First, East Wiltshire is a Tory safe seat – Reform came fourth in 2024. Is he worried he might be kicked out? “Yes. But my seat was at risk either way.” The second is that if Farage were to fall under a bus tomorrow, isn’t there a danger that the whole Reform project collapses? Kruger admits that is a “terrible thought”, and given that he’s put all his faith in Farage, “we don’t like to think about that”.

I said Substack “wasn’t cool,” and people had feelings about that. A lot of feelings. They also missed the point. Substack is a tool, like Google or ChatGPT; it’s infrastructure, not culture, no matter how badly it wants to cosplay as something more. And to be clear, I’m not anti-newsletter; you are reading mine right now

Isembard is a distributed manufacturing company that scales production from prototype to factory-level output. Expect speed, reliability and intelligence-first manufacturing built to solve supply chain pain points and power the industries shaping the future.

The kind of books that a certain type of reader takes up as a challenge and another type of reader (or at least social media poster who identifies as a reader) considers fundamentally fraudulent because books are supposed to be fun and the world is so awful why would you want to suffer and anyone who would read such a book must be pretentious, phony brodernist snob! Obviously, I think the latter position is silly. Challenging oneself is fun.

In this essay, we’ve come together to discuss the ways in which we agree with each other on how AI progress is likely to proceed (or fail to proceed) over the next few years.

ChatGPT came out, and I wrote immediately afterwards that “I am usually pretty hesitant to make technology predictions, but I think that this is going to change our world much sooner than we expect, and much more drastically. Rather than automating jobs that are repetitive & dangerous, there is now the prospect that the first jobs that are disrupted by AI will be more analytic; creative; and involve more writing and communication.”

UCSD, one of the country’s best public universities, has offered remedial math for nearly a decade — but lately, the share of students requiring it has skyrocketed. In the fall of 2020, 32 students took Math 2. In the fall of 2025, fully 1,000 students had math placement scores so low they would need it

The spectacle, of course, runs both ways. While taking reporters’ questions on Air Force One last Friday, Trump shouted at one, “Quiet! Quiet, piggy!” The comment was reportedly directed at a female reporter who was following up on the question about Epstein she’d asked a few moments earlier, and the president’s declining brain thought it was appropriate to admonish her in this way. It should be noted that not a single other reporter in the press pool spoke up to defend their humiliated colleague.

As GenAI becomes the primary way to find information, local and traditional wisdom is being lost. And we are only beginning to realise what we’re missing

At least two containers were flagged by radiation detectors, according to a person familiar with the matter. Whether those readings were missed or ignored isn’t clear.

If Windows 10 seems from this cursory description to be a mishmash of different styles in the 2010s, perhaps this is because it is. Many of its motifs—the laser wallpaper, the gaming orientation, the single-color accents against black and metal—are actually part of the Hexatron aesthetic, while others—such as the flat illustrations of diverse avatars and the tastefully mediated color selections and minimalist industrial designs—are Corporate Memphis and Neoliberal Vector Minimalism.
