While too much of Defence is hollow, spending in haste before we have absorbed the lessons of Ukraine, and analysed how we will defeat the threats of the future, could well result in an expensive lost opportunity. My article in today’s DTel… telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/07…
A defence spending spree could do more harm than good

A defence spending spree could do more harm than good

Yes, we may have to spend more, but the funds will be wasted unless we learn the lessons of the Ukraine war

Nate nails it. Expect even top forecasters to make lots of mistakes. So, focus on overall track records & capacity to learn. When smart forecasters are consistently over-confident, start suspecting they're not playing a pure-accuracy game (e.g. publicity or policy-advocacy games)

I don't care that the prediction is wrong, I'm sure this stuff is hard to predict. It's that he's consistently so overconfident. Now he says he's "positive" the pandemic will be over by October. Well, probably. But there are downside risks: new variants, waning immunity, etc.

Jim Walmsley just narrowly missed the 100K world record of 6:09:14 with his 6:09:25 (unofficially) at @HOKAONEONE’s Project Carbon X2 event. Sets a new American record with the second-fastest time ever. 11 seconds though! The last 5K looked absolutely grueling. Such a tough run.
