beautifully worded. all very true. does not sound like the "old" (ie., younger) Bob Dylan at all. "old king from some vanished country"--striking metaphor.
This is not residual algae. This is not sabotage. This is not sea monkeys. This is not going away. This is the result of incompetence and creating a heat sink in a shallow non chlorinated pool.
@JoyceCarolOates But Jane Austen didn't really write love stories. She was an astute descriptor and critic of the British class system and women's roles in it. The "love" portion of her stories was both a vehicle to address it and a commentary on the constraints of womanhood in her time.
@HistoryBoomer Your making a false equivalency. The alternate isn't communism. The current inequities exist because the guard rails have eroded since Reagan. Enforcing antitrust laws, reg of AI and Int monoliths and appropriately taxing mega rich would be capitalism with better guardrails.
@CathyYoung63 Likely because the human brain can't conceptualize past a million and it's multiples. That's why even billionaires no longer phase people because it's merely translated to the equivalent of a measure of millions in our brains.
The AI numbers are starting to look very ugly.
Even under "best case" assumptions, FT's own data shows Microsoft AI ROI at -9%, Google at -15%, Meta at -28%, Oracle at -35%. Only Amazon barely comes out positive.
This is exactly why I keep comparing this to the dot-com era. Incredible technology does not automatically mean sustainable economics. The internet survived. Most internet companies didn't.
Right now hyperscalers are spending trillions hoping future demand catches up to present capex. That's not certainty. That's a leveraged bet.
@KozakJon Bo Bassett turned 19 BEFORE his senior year in HS. He would be 25 likely before his 5th year of competition. Wouldn't then depend on the start date of his college his 5 year?
@amyklobuchar Be careful. The term dementia is already over used by care providers without any medical substantiation. OTs and PTs have too much power related to elderly as do care providers in assisted living. Personal autonomy is not respected. It's disgusting.
@CPyles8@FloWrestling Has FRL considered doing short segments during shows highlighting D2, D3, JUNCO and women's div? It would be a nice add. Like a brief 5-10 minute review of news and or standouts in other divisions. Maybe covering news on ranked HS kids other than the same 4 over and over?
@KemererOverHall@wrestlingnomad If they do it. How are the refs going to call "driving" out? Will it be a point for the top wrestler? Wouldn't that effectively kill riding because top would just drive out when trying to escape?
Here’s the traditional annual pic.
•Thursday, not a weekend
•Mid-afternoon, not primetime
•High school, not pro
•Quarterfinal, not Championship
But the State of Hockey’s cathedral is full of fans for the greatest tournament in the land.

Noah Wyle at the SAG awards: " I'm so grateful to this union and for all the protections and privileges that it affords me, and I don't take it for granted, and I don't forget the hard won fights and battles by giants who fought before us on whose shoulders I, and we all, stand. I'm so grateful for this. I'm so grateful to the membership of @sagaftra, to the membership of all of our sibling unions, especially our casting crew, and to labor unions everywhere."
Professor Judea Pearl — the pioneer who invented causal reasoning in AI — says scaling won't save us.
"Mathematical limitations that are not crossable by scaling up."
The brutal truth: LLMs aren’t learning how the world works. They are learning how we describe the world.
This resonates with most biologists: Drug discovery is hitting the same wall. We have mountains of genomic data, but most AI models just find patterns in published papers — not in the raw biology itself. They're learning what scientists think causes disease, not what actually does.
Pearl's causal revolution? That's how we move from "this gene correlates with cancer" to "this gene causes cancer" — and finally design drugs that work.
Until then, we're building very expensive parrots.
