- Uh oh, another 20 point lead. You know what they say, the most dangerous lead in basketball.
- every single Saturday when my wife is working, my toddler and I go here. We pick new fun foods to try. She runs around. The workers know her. We get a bag of bamba puffs for the ride home. I'm entirely devastated.

- Reposted by Tyler BurchI'm very excited that we are able to expand our team. These are great jobs for those that want to be active in AI/ML and data science in a research environment and work on problems that have real-world impact. Spread the word!
- DSI is hiring AI engineers, MLOps specialists, and a data scientist to support faculty research, with an emphasis on the @uwmadison.bsky.social RISE initiative. This is a great opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research across a wide range of topics. dsi.wisc.edu/about/work-a...
- it's obviously a complicated problem, but it also feels a lot like people are taking the "you're not always going to have a calculator in your pocket" approach to how LLMs interact with education.
- Happy third birthday, Waffles. Thanks for keeping life interesting. This is the first time I’ve ever made a cheese and pepperoni waffle.
- It was incredible that I was getting added to Skype crypto scam groups even through yesterday afternoon
- Skype pulled most incomprehensible bag fumble of all time. A 15 year head start. Total ubiquity. Added to the Oxford English Dictionary by 2014. Only to fall nuts-first into irrelevance at the exact moment when all other communication was made illegal. Truly, the Pete Best of videoconferencing. RIP.
- Alright everyone, what’s your favorite feezeable meal prep go-tos? Starting to bank as much as possible before baby #2 arrives. Bonus points for no dairy, double bonus for vegan.
- if the average American has 3 friends and you post a picture of 3 people… don’t they each have 2 friends? Asking for a friend. (And two other friends, I have 3)
- pro-tip: you can monopolize all the shared computing resources if you just do all your work at 1 am
- one time like 8 years ago my dad made fun of me for saying "data" instead of "data" and i still think about that every single time i use that word i probably use it a hundred times a day on average
- My daughter sent Cookie Monster with me to work today in my lunchbox, so I’m making sure he gets the full Fenway experience.

- I always think it’s hilarious how at marathons is that you’ll have someone who’s worked tirelessly for months achieving one of the coolest things they’ll do in their life, and they finish 5 spots behind some dude wearing a banana costume.
- Every year our Patriot's day 11 am start reminds me of one fact: Breakfast Baseball remains undefeated.

- I have a group chat of friends where literally half of the members have lost their jobs since January 20. I'm just at a loss for words at this point.
- Your Jackie Robinson Day reminder to think about check edge cases when programming

- Highly recommend if you have any interest here. - pymc is incredible software - these specific projects are very cool, and very important models. - the mentors are bar none. Brilliant people and the ones I’ve talked to in person are wonderful humans.
- I hate that I have to know how many r’s and how many f’s are in the word tariffs now.
- Happy Opening Day! (not pictured)
- Happy Opening Day! We made it. This offseason felt like 10 years.
- you know what frustrates me most about moneyball? Despite the movie being set in 2002, the girl sings The Show by Lenka, which came out in 2008. I always hyperfixate on because it was an iTunes free song of the week when i had access to a collective 79 songs and had them all seared into my brain.
- Since it’s that season, here’s my bold prediction for this year.
- It’s very funny that my whole youth they were like “coffee will stunt your growth” while simultaneously being like “sure yeah have that mountain dew, what could go wrong?”
- all I'm saying is if these companies actually believed they had AGI, they wouldn't be dropping "I'll tip you $1 billion if you get the correct answer, and fire you if it's wrong" in every system prompt.
- Remember: the code you write today is your tech debt tomorrow. Happy Wednesday!
- i swear, i would save *minutes* every month smh
- my brain is so statistics pilled that I can't stop writing "interference" as "inference"
