@martin_casado Excellent point. People forget that LLMs are first-class runtimes, the training inputs of which are largely unknown. And the efficacy of these models are highly context-dependent. Yet folks are diving headfirst into an invisible pool. Caveat emptor.

@_markpetchey @DjokerNole Recency bias is arguably the most common and pernicious type of cognitive bias.

[Nosa Omoigui @nosao]

@RonBrownstein Even applying Gorsuch’s unlimited “limiting principle” regarding creative expression this is precisely what would happen. A florist could now refuse to design a bouquet of flowers for a philandering man that comes in to his/her shop with his mistress.

@terrajobst @tannergooding The vast majority of code now runs in the cloud, which implies that code perf is now directly correlated with cloud costs. We need much more sophisticated (and AI-infused) analyzers/fixers that can conduct code reviews to improve CQ while reasoning over large blocks of code.

@sblom 1.) Allow the use of ROS<char> in place of string everywhere in the BCL. For instance I’d like to be able to pass a ROS<char> as a key to an instance of Dictionary<string, T>, 2.) many more analyzers/fixers, including analyzers that can reason over entire blocks of code

@PatrickMcEnroe Last year you anointed Novak as the GOAT. As I tweeted to you at the time that was a case of recency bias. What Rafa displayed today is simply the best offensive clay-court tennis I’ve ever seen. Genius-level red dirt point construction and shotmaking.

@sblom @ShawnWildermuth @mkristensen 1.) Virtual heaps that minimize runtime GC pressure, 2.) Many more analyzers/fixers in VS that detect a.) code paths that lead to boxing, b.) needless allocations, c.) heap allocations that can be moved to the stack, d.) Span-based code rewrites.

@PatrickMcEnroe Recency bias. Novak has feasted on the so-called “next gen” with ONE slam total (- Thiem). Roger had to go through a young/hungry Rafa then a young/hungry Novak. Borg had McEnroe, Lendl had Becker/Pete. Which truly *legendary* young stud has an aging Novak had to go through?

[Nosa Omoigui @nosao]

@RobKoenigTennis @usopen I remember that match very well. In an interview Lendl once said that “Wilander wasn’t the toughest player he ever played but was the hardest to beat.” He (Mats) was extremely gritty and had the patience of an angler. Could keep points going interminably.

[Nosa Omoigui @nosao]

@PatrickMcEnroe I disagree. Recency bias. He is a legend and one heck of a baseliner. But complete tennis involves much more than rallying from the baseline. Would Novak have won Wimbledon before the grass was changed which slowed it down? Would he have beaten Sampras or Fed on super fast grass?

[Nosa Omoigui @nosao]

@dwest2088 @bgtennisnation Fed wasn’t in his ‘prime’ in 2011. He was still exceptional but by 2011 he had already won 16 slams. In other words he had won as many slams as Novak had won in 2019. His prime was in 2004-2006 when he won 12 slams and lost only 15 games. Fed was 25 in 2006; Novak was 24 in 2011.

[Nosa Omoigui @nosao]

@dwest2088 @bgtennisnation Everyone has a losing record to Rafa on clay. Outside of clay Fed has a winning record against him. Fed had a winning record against Novak until a couple of years ago (when he was 37). And Fed has reached 31 slam finals so an argument based on the first 7 doesn’t say much.

@RayDalio Ray, please accept my heartfelt condolences. May your late son’s soul rest in perfect peace and may God grant you and your family strength and solace at this difficult time.

@RealSkipBayless LeBron is a freak of nature. MJ was a force of nature. MJ’s greatness transcended sports. He was an embodiment not only of infinite talent and peerless excellence but most importantly, of an indomitable force of will. MJ is the GOAT of all GOATs.

@atptour Miroslav Mecir. The second most inventive player I have ever seen, after Federer.

[Nosa Omoigui @nosao]

@mcfarlanejoe @benthompson We can agree to disagree. No one is disputing the tech companies’ contributions here. But given the crisis we face I just don’t think this is the time to be self-congratulatory when healthcare workers that earn peanuts are taking on incoming viral artillery fire to save lives.

[Nosa Omoigui @nosao]

@StevenLevy I disagree. The Techlash isn't a backlash to Tech. It is a backlash to an excessive concentration of market power in Tech. In a healthy economy we shouldn't be obsequiously dependent on a handful of companies for our very survival. This crisis has further accentuated that fact.
