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

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!
@Olympics
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.
@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
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.
