As good a time for a first post as any - the UK Warehousing Association, representing 1000 companies in this vital sector, has today launched a toolkit on rooftop solar power. Supported by 90% of public, warehouse rooftops could almost double UK solar capacity.
Seems weird framing for this piece, particularly this: “Solar grazing will not fix British farming. It won’t lower land prices, reverse climate change or make supermarkets pay more for lamb.” Well of course not, but it can both help farmers and generate renewable energy, which seems pretty good?
Solar grazing: ‘triple-win’ for sheep farmers, renewables and society or just a PR exercise for energy companies?

Spotted in East London. I know the point is to intimidate, but is this an intentional use of the cross of the order of St John (as a crusades reference?), or did they confuse it with the St George’s cross?

Anyone know something good I can read on where AI is/will drive productivity for businesses, SMEs in particular? I’m primarily thinking LLM-based applications (I can the value of machine learning in industrial settings more clearly). Thanks!

Well this is a bit unusual - any reshuffle experts @samfr.bsky.social @stephenkb.bsky.social seen this before (outside of Boris/Truss)?
