They especially dodged a bullet at safety with catastrophically thin depth. And they’re fortunate Gonzo and CD3 got healthy down the stretch because CB depth was awful, too. And lucky Henry and Diggs stayed as healthy as they did, next men up behind them were huge drop-offs.

At times it didn’t FEEL very lucky, with their top free agent (Milt), top draft pick (Campbell), best player (Gonzo), defensive leader (Spillane) all missing weeks to injury, then in the Super Bowl, their star QB (Maye) dealing with a bum shoulder. But it easily could have been so much worse.

That other video is lazy dogshit, the YouTube equivalent of SEO slop. Provocative-thumbnail affirmations of existing beliefs with zero regard for accuracy. Also sounds like text-to-speech narration, which these days is a big red flag of genAI slop.

Why are we moving the goal posts to “material support”? You pointed me to a speech. Non-material support/opposition matters, too. What message does it send to Americans questioning the wisdom or legality of striking Iran that “Canada thinks we did the right thing”? The wrong one!

Get better news sources. While you’re reading tea leaves on trade negotiation rhetoric, Carney is explicitly saying “Canada supports the United States”

You can use that as a comic idea if you want, by the way. Hockey rink setting, beaver in front of the net with elbows up, and a meek looking Carney in between, sliding the puck into his own net.

I’m totally flabbergasted with Carney’s position on the conflict. He got elected in a minor miracle totally attributable to anti-Trumpism. He was recently bathed in international praise for a speech expressing defiance against US leadership. From “elbows up” to “own goal”.

Has anyone made an “abolish ICE” joke yet? Surely I’m the first to see the double meaning of the acronym and capitalize on its vast comedic potential.

Just realized I’m way behind you because of belated reposts, this is brilliantly put, and applicable, if you replace “investors” with “Blue Owl”.

To be fair he’s talking about the software industry that AI bros say is doomed to vanish thanks to AI, and saying “no it isn’t”. Blueowl’s problem is they’re also lending to the AI industry (for datacenter buildouts), and that’s where there’s red flags aplenty.

Smells outside dissipate very quickly. Smells inside do not. And most landlords would prohibit it, for that reason (and the fire hazard). So if you prohibit outside smoking, that’s nearly as good as a ban, and you’re forcing people into a worse alternative.

“In the cities” is a red flag of an impending lie with conservatives, because their voter base does not live there, is generally fearful of all the minorities (white flight is how they got into the suburbs in the first place), and is predisposed to believe the worst.

The article specifically says the 4 weeks are multiplied by 12 (rather than 13.0357). Not saying I believe that, but dividing 12 would be correct based on what they’re telling us.

I want to elaborate on the facsimile part. SkyNet didn’t get confused and blow up the baby terminator factory. This tech is so much more inept than people give it credit for, but that only makes it *more* dangerous in the hands of the people who overestimate it.

This is the torment nexus thing. It’s not that dystopian sci-fi predictions of the future were prescient, it’s that they were absorbed into pop culture as a futuristic, and tech craves association with the future. So these greedy psychos intentionally made it happen (or at least a facsimile of it).

Yes, and Anthropic eagerly let them, target ID is within their defence contract that they were happy to sign. They had some narrow objections to automated kill decisions and domestic mass surveillance, which this does not offend. See:

There are no words for how fucking angry this makes me.

But knowing what they did, this opens up all kinds of opportunities for fun next summer.

Or it’s a later round draft pick. Wes Welker they picked up for a 3rd (and maybe just as well since every draft pick they made that year was bad).

Oh that’s undeniable, and they’re picking too late to realistically land a #1 WR in the draft, I just think they should sign a guy (like Pierce). Trades mean spending AND giving up draft capital, it’s a lousy way to build a team, unless you’re “one guy away” and okay with mortgaging the future.

I think for long-term team building, they need to build through the draft, and they can’t do that trading away day one picks. People will talk about the cap space they have this year, but I have no doubt they’re also looking ahead to next year, when the cap situation is much worse.

That’s an interesting inconsistency, cause how does that happen!

It still doesn’t predict shit even when there is insider trading! Even worse when the betting insiders are in a position to leak misinformation (length of Trump’s SOTU) they will lie!

Not “prediction”, just gambling!

No. I think insiders are a trivially small percent of the betting, this is overwhelmingly just degenerate gamblers, bored of betting on Korean minor league doubles ping pong on DraftKings.

You might guess plane ownership is a luxury, but fun fact: the Patriots players hate that plane. Travel got an “F” in the recent NFLPA survey, and that is apparently owed to this plane being an old POS.

I’d quibble on the distinction, but maybe it’s just semantics. I don’t think you’re a “reporter” if you’re purely a fact gatherer. Reporting is storytelling, communication skills are essential. You can need an editor, but if the editor is figuring out the story from the facts, they’re the reporter.

I am in favour of this, but there is a problem that goes beyond them when people are putting up >$800k in bets on something like this, over what I assume is a very short period of time. Nobody is making them bet, what is wrong with them?

Icons are to scale

Also kinda interesting to me, if this is true, they need no spool-up time to access the compute capacity to nearly double their user base? It’s just there for the taking? I thought they were building all these new data centers because demand so thoroughly exceeded supply!
