Why did I only just now find out that Tennis disbanded from Ken Jennings of all people

It is not even an algorithm. It’s a dice roller for tokens, algorithms are deterministic :(

A stir fry is like the easiest thing ever to make, what?

You know whose big day it is…. the groundhog

Ahhh such a classic

Heathcliff Panel: Heathcliff parachutes down to the yard from an overhead blimp. The blimp has a message on the side saying "Dystopian Conditions Ahead Use Caution."

New Yorker Panel: A car drives on a snowy road. The highway's digital sign just says "Bro."

Eastside Urbanism Transit Tracker, showing 542, 545, and a countdown for the 2 line cross-lake opening.

I know for a fact that Meta’s ad team is on a completely different level because no one else is telling me about a Steve Reich concert nearby

MARCH 28

Just say it Dow

This was surprisingly hard to do. I go to so many concerts but when people ask me what my favorite one was or something I suddenly can’t remember a single one. Björk’s Vulnicura tour show remains one of the most memorable choices though.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen:

- Björk
- Joni Mitchell
- Kayo Dot
- Radiohead
- Peter Brötzmann & Heather Leigh

Oh 100%

And on the upper end of the scale, there are a lot of restaurants ran by hard working chefs that serve really special dishes that I wouldn’t ever bother making at home. This tends to cost a lot but wealthy Americans are lucky to have access to a lot of this

Probably a majority of restaurant foods are as healthy as they were 20-30 years ago, but probably supplied at a larger scale. Cooking at home on fresh ingredients is more work but is better for your budget and body

This is one of those narratives that spins around based on a modicum of truth and transforms everyone into a PhD in food economics overnight. And so many people are now saying stuff like “defrosted sysco chicken wings” to sound slightly more intelligent than “cheap restaurant food”

It feels like a segment of the internet figured out that restaurent ingredient suppliers like Sysco exist in the past year (mostly through TikTok) and now have opinions about how healthy eating out is

This happens to me often enough that it makes me conspiratorial about Uber bribing Sound Transit on their train schedules

Looking forward to seeing the visual OPN show soon (Marty Supreme)

Does “AI” just mean any form of machine intelligence now? This article is talking about computer vision, which has been around for way longer than LLMs.

I think we are redoing the “algorithms” fear cycle of 2015-2016 again :)

The state of Windows sets an extremely low bar.

I will add that I have never been inside a bus in Istanbul, London or Dublin that had any of these issues. We have been conned by Big Rattle

Announcement says train to Angle Lake, signages say “Lynwood City Center” or “Federal Way Downtown”

Unclear which one is “Seattle Downtown” even

“2 Line Testing in-progress do not board test trains” train approaches, completely unmarked with a number

I guess gotta go with this one

Oh my god a banger
