Staff fear UK's Turing AI Institute at risk of collapse www.bbc.com/news/article...

BBC News has seen the complaint that the Guardian reported on Sunday. Main additional info seems to be that Helen Margetts and Cosmina Dorobantu left positions at the ATI last month.

Probably two different issues at play here. Turing hero- worshiping is probably a bit nationalistic, but I think the call for spending on defense related research is more a reflection of the current geopolitical landscape.

Yes. There are a bunch of issues with the Turing, but it's not clear (to me) that this is a better path forward.

Yes, Haskell is great, but as well as the critical mass issue that Scala has, it has the additional, more fundamental issue that I don't think lazy languages are ideal for scientific and statistical computing (controversial, I know).

Actually, I think I misinterpreted your question. I much prefer strongly typed functional languages (especially Scala 3), but although Scala is popular for big data analytics, there isn't really a critical mass of people using it for serious statistical computing and machine learning.

Let's just say that they both have their areas of strength and weakness. But the point I make in the podcast is that they are actually both very similar when considered in the space of all programming languages.
