Yes, I checked my spam box.

Yes, I’ve seen 2 charges on my credit card.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

@londontheatre It’s 4 hours before the curtain and I still have not received a confirmation for either of my orders. Please contact me.

ChatGPT was pretty good at analyzing my preferences among Balanchine ballets, but terrible at discussing the Gainsborough exhibit at the @frickcollection.

Interesting article about Italy Moneyball-ing the Olympics. https://t.co/UdC6Ndm71Z

I hate when books apologize for using (necessary) terminology (or math).

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

Asked an LLM what @emollick’s book about using LLMs gets wrong.

Its critique was structural:
• AI skill won’t be equal – cognitive bandwidth varies
• Hallucinations are inherent
• Incentives favor automation, not augmentation

It’s fitting asking AI where AI books fall short.

Failures are the result of unnecessary complexity. Something will inevitably break, said @csoandy, @ylventures.

@Dickeys I ordered 100 minutes ago, was told the food would be delivered at 5pm, and the app claims it was delivered — but we have no food and the Flatbush location isn’t answering their phone. Really upset. (So are my hungry kids.)

@MalibuCali77 @Delta No I paid for main cabin, picked my seats, then got moved.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

@Delta Can you get both my sons sitting next to me on my flight? Instead of 2 rows away?

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

@vBrianGraf @Delta Booked tickets 2 months ago, picked seats. They changed the flight times - didn’t realize they’d change our seats so haphazardly. When I asked at the gate last time, they said, “it’s very hard - we have a lot of families.” No kidding! I had to beg people to switch seats w/us.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

I don’t understand why @Delta separates children from parents on the same reservation. Who wants to sit next to an unattended 3yo?

@gisellis @ellarree Yasher koach to @ellarree and shana tovah to all of you.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

A problem with COVID is that the lizard brain wants to normalize on activities that are now allowed, when a better model is a risk budget.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

@gisellis This is also the best way to choose shared appetizers.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

This makes no sense to me. For only 1 in 8 who had “lots of symptoms” to test positive for antibodies, that means there’s a =lot= of confusion about symptoms or the test isn’t giving the full story on who had the virus.

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Fourth, large variations based on whether you had symptoms:

Of those without symptoms -- 2.8% seroprevalence
Of those with lots of symptoms -- 12.3%
Of those with loss of smell -- 40.1%!

3/5

@DanielleSucher Etsy.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

Fascinating if this is confirmed.

[Yishan @yishan]

If the computer modeling is right, it shows that the virus hijacks our [red] blood [cells] and makes it unable to carry O2 to a patient's tissues/organs, and likewise unable to carry CO2 out of them.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

Interesting night checking out the latest in bio hacking from @feeldoppel and @Embrlabs: manipulating heart rate and temperature with your watch sounds like cheating.

[Natalie Garner @garneringideas]

Drive through Corona virus testing. Wow.

[Raphael Rashid @koryodynasty]

South Korea has gone through over 10,000 COVID-19 tests today. People who have any slightest of symptoms (or not) can even get themselves tested at these testing drive-thru stations. The whole process takes 10 mins.

I'm in awe.
