An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.
We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. https://t.co/iP6cyheZ7i
Imagine trading a bipolar, front-running, self-medicating, weed smoking, media-dodging (only after bad personal games) petulant oversized child for this classy, thoughtful, egoless gentleman and scholar
Minnesota may never recover
They traded a hall of fame champion for basketball cancer
Karl-Anthony Towns on what he told Jalen Brunson when he arrived in New York:
"I told you that the first day I got here and you welcome me here to New York, I said I want to make sure I amplify you to a whole another level that you haven't even recognized for yourself. I want to be that partner in crime that you haven't had, and I want to make sure that every step of the way, anytime you go anywhere, you're never alone. You always have someone behind you that's ready to do whatever it is to protect you, to protect this city. And I only ask for one thing in return. One thing."
(Towns then pointed directly at the Larry O'Brien Trophy)

Rory McIlroy on Thursday's course setup: "The greens are pretty slow and quite receptive. I think they need to be at this point. It's a challenging golf course already, and you put 30-mile-an-hour winds on top of it, it tests the best players in the world pretty well.
"I think they were prudent with the course setup, and they made sure to -- I think especially with starting with 156 the first two days, you just want to get everyone around without too much issue. They've set the course up for that, at least today."
Hey @MLB… hey @NewEraCap… I would buy a Gen 9:12-16 rainbow @SFGiants hat… I am an @Yankees fan. I would buy 10 Gen 9:12-16 rainbow @Yankees hats. Take my money…
🔥 CLARENCE THOMAS IS THE ABSOLUTE GOAT!
"I'd rather die than withdraw. If they're gonna kill me, they're gonna kill me."
Q: So you'd still like to serve on the Supreme Court?
THOMAS: "I'd rather die than withdraw from the process. Not for the purpose of serving on the Supreme Court, but for the purpose of not being driven out of this process."
"I will not be scared. I don't like bullies. I've never run from bullies. I never cry uncle, and I'm not gonna cry uncle today whether I want to be on the Supreme Court or not."'

Jim Furyk accepting the 2027 Ryder Cup captaincy is the golf equivalent of that scene in an action movie when the grizzled ex-operative is sitting on his porch, finally at peace, when a black SUV rolls up the gravel drive. Furyk doesn't even turn around. "No." The suit gets out anyway. "It's Adare Manor. We're sending you in."
Furyk takes a pull from his beer. "I already did my tour. You know how that went," as he stares off into the distance, the camera cutting to a yellowed NYT newspaper with the infamous interview on his desk.
The suit slides a dossier across the railing. "Bethpage was a disaster. Morale is gone. Half the roster won't return our calls. You're the only one they'll follow into Ireland." You can see it in Furyk's eyes — the math of a man who knows this is almost certainly going to end badly, who remembers exactly how cold the Atlantic wind gets on foreign soil. He knows nobody else is walking through that door. He also knows this Hail Mary is the only thing that can free him from the past.
Furyk picks up the folder, seeing a photo of a smiling Luke Donald shopping for shampoo and a headline announcing Patrick Reed is back in form. Furyk goes to his shed, takes off the tarp from his captain golf cart. "One more thing," the suit says. "Bryson is thinking about being a full-time YouTuber."
Furyk laughs. "Good. For a second I was thinking this was going to be too easy."
