Opera, espresso, fancy jacket, little kisses - Team Italy is winning because they've embraced a philosophy of nice treats.

I love how the energy of the booth in the GBR vs. ITA #wbc game has just turned into a celebration of Italian-American culture.

Every day I am thankful for Median Voter Brain (tm) because it's what makes my field possible.

There'd be little need for sociologists if the will of the people was scrutable.

this is like that time the Vikings missed their draft pick because they called in a trade with the Ravens but the Ravens didn't.

@unlox.bsky.social am i doing this right?

How do you always have a Steelers comparison on-deck for every tiny snippet of political news?

Is it possible to learn this power?

Anthropic is the funiest "AI" company because they're constantly like:

"Please! Would somebody stop the magical death machine that will kill all of humanity! Please give us 500 bazillion dollars to build the magical death machine!"

But all they're really doing is just posioning the water.

There's a reason why Canada vs. USA hockey is appointment viewing every time.

"He will never let you down."

Career .222/.339/.320 slash in the postseason says otherwise.

There needs to be a word for an ideology that's basically Ludditism except for label makers. Because I've grown disillusioned with so much tech but you'd have to pry my label maker from my cold dead hands.

What do you mean I could just use a marker? Caveman.

Part 1: How do LLMs work?
Part 1: How do LLMs work? YouTube video by Andrew Perfors

I just created a series of seven deep-dive videos about AI, which I've posted to youtube and now here. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Targeted to laypeople, they explore how LLMs work, what they can do, and what impacts they have on learning, well-being, disinformation, the workplace, the economy, and the environment.

If you start watching Game 5 of the 2024 World Series at 10:26:37, you can watch the ball drop in New York at midnight.

It's just way easier and less expensive for a working class kid to spend $40 and a few hours on some practice tests than for them to switch to a school with a dozen AP classes and a robotics club they can be president of.

Good to see evidence for something I've suspected for some time.

While well-meaning, the anti-test push is ultimately counterproductive and is the product of poor counter-factual reasoning. The alternatives (extra curriculars, personal statements, etc.) are way more class- and race-biased.

It's weird how GPT is incredibly good at all the things I don't know much about but downright terrible at all the things I know something about.

Though I'm sure they'll fix this bug with GPT 5.3.

I've spent all day struggling to write a single page of a popular science article. I bang away at a word processor; give up; start diagramming on paper. Take some notes; draft a few sentences in pen; return to the computer...and very slowly I figure out what I was trying to say in the first place.
