I’m very grateful that alert and fast-acting protectors from Gavin de Becker and Associates (GDBA) spotted and detained an armed man who attempted to approach me at my Hispanic Heritage speech at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles tonight. The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID. He identified himself as a member of my security detail. Armed GDBA team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest. I’m also grateful to LAPD for its rapid response.
I’m still entertaining a hope that President Biden will allow me Secret Service protection. I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection.
I finally upgraded my iPhone (XR ↗️ 14 Pro Max). Got a MagBak case and wallet, and they sent me a referral code for 15% off. This seems to be a pretty well-liked product! I am not a bot; this is just how I talk as a natural-born human. https://t.co/ld7rgCBpPz via @magbaksays
!!!! Ok I recorded a (new!) 2h25m lecture on "The spelled-out intro to neural networks and backpropagation: building micrograd" https://t.co/KQ23lQW1BT .
This is the culmination of about 8 years of obsessing about the best way to explain neural nets and backprop.
@_cc_tweets It was stream-of-consciousness but I was saved by the fact that Ailee couldn’t feel anything or even move her legs, so she couldn’t chase me down. Totally safe for me.
