what's up?

running this back. did you ever settle on something? read the foundation series already?

my recommended order is: foundation, and empire, second, edge, prelude, forward, and earth

you go to the edge, then come back and do the prequels, and then go back out to continue the search

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

good grief Curry.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

usa wins 1-0. taking the gold.

strong. that’s a big deal.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

56 minutes in. tied 0-0. Brazil vs USA women playing for soccer gold.

here we go.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

update, 57 minutes in, 1-0 usa.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

gorgeous venue for this marathon. the city is shining.

what a morning.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

Scottie doing Scottie things.

Rahm doing Rory things.

Brandel doing Brandel things.

what a finish. 🇺🇸.

with all due respect to the Players, the Olympics needs to be the leader of the 5th major convo. if the pros disagree, they’re even more pretentious than I gave them credit for. gold in table tennis > The Players.

@BarstoolTrent who do we need to talk to to get this part of the 2020’s golf narrative?

@DaBunnyOFFICIAL daily shmaily.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

so far, Paris is crushing it. if you don’t like it, go buy some candy.

Faxon “just” (watching the replay) said that he’s never heard of the mix of grass used on the greens at Le Golf National, but also that McIlroy said they were some of the best surfaces they’ve had all season.

greens look gorgeous. feels like something the Tour should look into.

it’s awesome that the waves have been getting bigger each day, but I still can’t figure out how surfing is judged.

like, from drop-in to exit, what parts count? because some rides have felt real short, but the surfers looked real pumped.

maybe you can help me out? @gabriel1medina @Olympics

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

ok, this horse track through the woods at Versailles is out of control. can’t get over those giant antlers.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

what a finish to men’s street! Yuto defending his gold with his last trick. making 270 to noseblunt look easy.

thought Nyjah was going to runaway with it after the full runs. but then Jagger started throwing down some big stuff.

congrats!

women’s skateboarding street: podium was a 14 year, 15 and a 16 year old. would have been cool if Poe could have held onto a medal, but these girls crushed it.

last Olympics a 13 year old won gold. and they do it with style.

men’s postponed until monday.

realizing now that most generations going forward won’t know the experience of having every piece of clothing they wore to the bar last night stinking of cigs.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

@thesentry + @espn why don’t you like showing the player’s current round score, in addition to their overall score? helps to see who is making a run.

also, can you zoom out a little? hard to tell what’s going on when so close. tvs are big enough to handle it. and you’re in maui

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

hope sam is alright.

will be nice though to be playing our next game after a solid win.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

let’s close this out. I think we’ve scored more than 10 points in 3 minutes. we are also capable of letting that up just as fast.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

ok. an int is helpful. now let’s get a first down.

[MoonManiac @ShootDaMoon]

this seems like something of note.

More evidence that AIs are not going to be limited by the amount of human-created content available for them to train on.

This is another paper suggesting that AIs training on AI-created data can achieve higher quality results than just using human-created data alone.
