@eladgil And once again, I remind people that most folks are stuck in Copilot Hell. Even if there are developers outside SF/NY using Claude, they're having to watch cost and therefore stuck using low-cost models.

@SeanUnfiltered I’m 50 and received my Masters in Analytics last Dec. Sadly, it really hasn’t done much for me, but I work at a Texas State Agency that doesn’t compensate financially for that. I’ve only been there 8 months. But I loved the program and am now pursuing a 2nd Masters.

@chrisalbon I live in Austin and was wondering the same thing. They finally opened up the map to my subdivision in far South Austin, but if there's a low chance of a Waymo in this area, then I'm not interested.

* Not sure that's a great way of saying that, but it sounded good in my head and looks ok on the screen.

Bluecoats and Boston Crusaders out there playing "criss-cross, applesauce"*. My model is just as befuddled as the rest of the nation. I thought we would see 98 last night, but it didn't happen.

Forgive the tie at the end. I'm leaving it. Look at those 8-10 probs! #DCI2025

[Mike Smith @Danger009Mouse]

Here are my predictions for today's #DCI2025 Semifinal Scores based on 10,000 simulations. I feel the scores are a little bit low, since we might see some low 98s. I've also included some probability bar charts for ranks 1-13 (Spirit has a 9.4% chance of moving to Finals).

My guess is that the neutral site in Texas will be at Dickie's Arena in Ft. Worth.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

NEWS: Texas A&M and Florida State will start a two-year neutral site series on November 28th in Tampa, according to a source.

Not to be crass, but what does this mean for all the Cuban strippers in Austin, Houston and Dallas?

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Cubans voted for Trump thinking they were honorary white folks. Surprise!

After falling to 0-3 in conference play a question has arose....can @TexasMBB handle the SEC?

Rodney Terry says yes, but even in the big boy conference you gotta take baby steps

Penn State did, however, play Kent State, which was worse than 95 FCS teams and 26 D2s, per SP+.

ND played Purdue, which was worse than 17 FCS teams. (PSU and OSU played them, too.)

Texas played ULM (worse than 14 FCS teams), and Ohio State played Akron (worse than 22).

Looks nice, but the author went the last mile editing the graph on Google Slides, so that's a little bit deceiving.
