Taurus: The stars aren’t mad at you, they’re just disappointed.

"How dare he insult our favorite tacky middlebrow restaurant" is their rage about a Black man who (correctly) asserts that CF's luxe decor is a commoner's idea of fancy; & that he knows where to get better common-people food AND better fancy food, and is more welcome in both venues than his enemies.

This game-ending play is going to be on the qualifying exam for referees for *years* to come.

Wait, skip past the part where ex-gov't.-employees who believe in the rule of law make common cause with "black bloc" antifa, and with DSA who can barely make common cause with themselves, and skip ahead to the part where they activate their Super Turbo Coup if the Democrats ... *win* in November??

I need to teach some kind of like... basic continuum mechanics to every driver. You're not going to "get in front". There's no "in front". When you get up there, there's just going to be more cars. And they're not even in front! You can't get to the front. You're not ever going to be in the front.

I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards

Have fun storming the castle.

Ben Johnson is making Caleb Williams look like Mahomes tonight

Honestly, that penalty is so obscure I wouldn't have been surprised if they had let it go and we learned tomorrow it was supposed to be illegal.

We need more wackos like Ben Johnson who stare at typical formations and just go "what if a tight end laterals to the left guard"

Damn it. Never saw that penalty before.

I’ve been watching NFL football for ~20 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen “illegal forward handling” called

Amazon Prime, I promise you I know way too much about the digital advertising ecosystem to EVER click on a pop-up ad that’s running on top of a streaming ad

Formal methods becoming orders of magnitude easier to do is a huge deal for software security.

Did Bezos just run a heartwarming B-roll piece during the NFL game about how Bob Kraft’s benefit against antisemitism was a big deal?

Retrofitted our minivan with some high-intensity police-surplus noisemakers. Watch folks swerve out of our way when we're in a hurry now! Stop looking at me like that. How can you call it an Odyssey if it doesn't have sirens?

We were investigating Wedgewood for faking their data and emailed them for comment this morning, ahead of publishing the findings tomorrow. They are now trying to cover up their fraud with the "we were doing a social experiment" excuse. Full story here: blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

Their private... key... was FOUR?

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death

I have no empirical or peer-reviewed basis for this, but: LLMs are shape rotators, not wordcels. Their code (shape rotation) is getting better all the time Their prose (wordcel) sucks and always will

I understand coaches who say "I don't trust the analytics", but I am baffled by the ones who say "I trust the analytics, but sometimes you gotta go with your gut." Man, if you only follow the analytics when they match your gut... that's mathematically identical to just going with your gut.

My LLM is TELNETing into the kOS/PEGAS programmable guidance & control mod for Kerbal Space Program, and now it's doing its best to put 4 satellites into kerbostationary orbit, spaced evenly at 90-degree longitudinal bands.
