@isabelacmor You are a saint for doing so much thankless work!

[Ben Xiao 蕭宇力 @SpecC]

@rasbt You're one of my favorite educators, Sebastian. Hope it's nothing too serious. Take care of yourself!

@MirinFader @PoliticsProse Love to see it! I was really hoping you'd come by the San Francisco Bay Area.

@Wattenberger Looks really nice so far. Any plans to implement keyboard shortcuts? I've always found the horizontal flow a little mouse heavy

@LeighEllis The reports sounds like they treated him as a salary dump 🤦‍♂️

I'm launching a new Kaggle competition! We're using the new swing length and bat speed data from Baseball Savant to predict batted ball outcomes. Hoping we can continue pushing out more public work around hitting metrics https://t.co/WMrrGaQXqI

@loganmmurdock Congratulations on the new family edition! We'll look forward to having you back in the new year!

[Jenny Fischer @jennylynnfisch]

My stream of consciousness:

:01 Turn left, look alive
:02 Get JT side profile or you’ll lose it
:07 Back pedal, keep sight of Bron
:08/:11 Zoom on cues
:13 Okay Steph turned, turn cam next (head swiveled at :12)
:15 Hug Bron’s right side (he pivots left)

@helloiamleonie Voted other. For a more novice adopter, parsing docs and organizing info has been the hardest bit.

[jason @jxnlco]

If you’re using llms to do classification what kind of classification tasks are you doing?

My man this is what your app shows as “news” (h/t @SethPartnow )

[Ben Xiao 蕭宇力 @SpecC]

@Wattenberger I like this a lot! Talking something out loud is a good self sanity check already. Organizing the insanity would be very nice
