A school board plans a school. A park board plans a park. The City plans the housing, the business permits, and the street in between.
Nobody plans the whole neighbourhood.
Here's the plan to fix that. 💜

It feels like the Trump Admin is making an example of Microsoft and using them as a trial balloon. They want to see if ending the H1-B visa program can be done without completely cratering Big Tech and the broader stock market.

@LennyNanZhou @Vote4ABC @KenSimCity @sarahkirby_yung @LisaDominato @MikeKlassen @PeterMeiszner @lorrainelowe_ @ZarrabianCOV Lenny these were placed after years of neighbourhood consultation - while YOU were in power. And the "evidence" is that they make streets safer.

If you have improvement recommendations we're all ears. But removing the barriers is pure ideology.

Finally getting his due. Was part of the bandwagon that thought his time was over, and in reality it probably was. But given how football has changed since then - both financially and tactically - Wenger's 'T4 Trophy' Arsenal era should be celebrated, not mocked.

[Raj Chohan @rajsinghchohan]

The most selfless big name manager that there has ever been. All he cared about was improving the long-term future of the club even at the cost of his own personal success in the present.

[Pauly Kwestel @pkwestel]

Football's data revolution has fully arrived. Everyone is using the numbers now, but not everyone is using the numbers well.

It's not just fans and the media, but clubs too. We've entered the bad part of this whole thing

they don’t tell you this, but when you become a staff engineer they expect you to perform 1 miracle a year

Finally a reasonable take on MC’s United

[Adroit Cadet @Adroit_Cadet]

People are overreacting. @Carras16 may have been sold horrendously short in the transfer market, and while his playing model may not be perfect, his United team can still be, imo, very fun this season

Give them some time

A thread:

[Gopalakrishnan @louisvangopal]

@theycallmemgk Been okay, not solid, but decent at possession football I'd say. Only reason United created ANY chances against City was Bruno so bit of a mad criticism. Missing quality players at fullback and pacey ball playing defenders in general that a high-line possession game needs.

[Gopalakrishnan @louisvangopal]

Astounding how many people are using this as a stick to beat MC with without taking into consideration that we've played Hull, Ipswich, Everton and 10-man Man City so far - this is how your running stats would look if you spent a lot of time in possession.

[United Zone @ManUnitedZone]

🚨 Manchester United rank 14th in the Premier League for distance covered this season, with 449.1km.

Their numbers are even worse when it comes to high-intensity running:

🔻 18th for sprints — 379
🔻 19th for high-speed runs — 1,364
🔻 18th for sprints per kilometre covered — 0.84
🔻 19th for high-speed runs per kilometre — 3.04

[Fran Betteo @franbetteo]

say you worked in DS/ML for the last decade.
expertise/familiarity with the old times.
Ex: Xgboost, Kmeans, regressions, maybe some bayesian modules, some Timeseries, statistics, evaluation of models, that kind of things.

What's the best way to get up to date with the current job market?
Any thought or someone in mind that could answer this? @vboykis sorry, you are my reference for high signal content in real "normie" ML 🙏

Could be resources, could be projects to show.
I have in mind like create a RAG application based on some content (youtube transcripts, some local documents) and show usage of Llama Index, faiss, openAI API. Is this too old already?

[Gopalakrishnan @louisvangopal]

@cirotexts @saundzo Interesting. Is this backed by stats? I remember Amorim period last season had pretty low PPDA, which indicated we were pressing pretty aggressively

[Gopalakrishnan @louisvangopal]

@SebC__ Wait if there were no blackout then more people would watch the PL at home instead of going to a lower league game so TV rights at home get more lucrative?

You wanna stop being a fanboy and be objective, then Rahman just does a mai vaapas aunga and it;s like screw maturity the man rules no one comes close and all that

@markeburge “What you do with your home should be your choice” - the way they phrase it you’d think the city would’ve personally bulldozed your house if this passed!

[Jon Mackenzie @Jon_Mackenzie]

This is great

[Owen @OwenInVan]

Everyone who complains about not enough family-friendly multi-bedroom condos better be writing-in & speaking to support this. It's the best initiative we've seen to support such buildings & it might get rejected because of election year political triangulation.

@mixedknuts Kissa Tanto (Japanese Italian fusion), Machete Mexican (ancestral Mexican), Vadapav Mirchi (Indian-maharashtrian), sushi hill (first class sushi), zab bite (authentic spicy Thai), Bao Bei

[Mark Burge @markeburge]

Except these exact people have opposed projects like this that are much better planned with getting far more for the dollar.

[Carl Anka is on leave @Ankaman616]

Watch this sport wherever you can and go and make friends with whoever is next to you.
Then you go outside and try and make the world and little better before bed. 🙏🏿

@Sparrownor1 @thinkwithmark What format are the notes stored in? Can I export it as markdown files to store it in Obsidian as a part of my knowledge base?
