List of Division 1 men's basketball coaches that have been to three Elite 8s before age 40 over the past 60 years: Bob Knight Dean Smith Jon Scheyer If you extend that to the past 70 years you can add Vic Bubas to the list (went to four while HC at Duke). Others?

Yay, we get to put up with Dan Hurley for another week.

Fun fact: when we encounter a piece of currency that's excessively torn or has writing on it we're supposed to set it aside in a "mutilated" pile. Periodically those piles are sent to the Federal Reserve for destruction.

Survive and advance!

Woo hoo! ACC champs!

One foul called on UNC in the second half? Good day to be a heel! 😂

Say her name, Republicans.

Visited the JFK museum and library yesterday.

$7.25/hr is $15080/yr. $15/hr is $31200/yr. Both assuming a 40 hr workweek.

To the guy who got pissy at the bank trainee when asked to show ID for a withdrawal: for your enhanced security, per bank policy, you'll be asked to show ID every time.

So Schumer and Jeffries were right to force the conversation not about the CR or shutdown but about the final GOP budget and their broader agenda to begin the process of forcing Rs to take responsibility for the incredible harm they are doing to the country. That's what this debate is about. 5/

A big part of the problem in the Constitution is that the Presidency is designed to check the Legislature, and not the other way around.

If there is a cooler band out there than Wet Leg right now I don't know what it is.

Yeah, easy block.

It's wrong to murder shitty people.

"The heads of Microsoft, OpenAI, Google and Apple gathered at the White House to endorse a plan to feed America's children to yet another technology monster."

Reading a Wikipedia article on Communicating Sequential Processes, and I realize the original paper was the basis of my oldest brother's dissertation and academic research, and the grief hits.

My ninth grade English teacher died very recently. I can't think of a better way to honor him than to read a book. Here's to you, Mr. George.

Let's give him the Nobel Fuckup Prize.

"It's time for other people to be violent" is always such an inspiring revolutionary sentiment.

A Louisianan places his hand on a gun of Wiedrich’s battery - “I take command of this gun.” The German gunner, his hand on the lanyard, replies, “du solst sie haben” (you shall have it) and pulls the lanyard, disintegrating the rebel entirely

I wonder how the discussion would change if we talked about "parenting" LLMs instead of "training" them.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

At least I got a rejection letter for that job instead of just being ghosted.

I helped my son write a maze crawl program in BASIC last night for his US History project (he's doing the history of the language). I forget sometimes just how much fun programming can be.

Sad day.

It's a bit niche, but I would say the Arduino and related single-board computer/controllers (e.g. Raspberry Pi, Teensy). Also 3D printers.

Dear Gmail, I never want to paste formatted text, ever. I never want to embed an email address in the message body when I'm trying to remove it from the sender list. Thank you for making a UI that's like tiptoeing through a minefield.

Happy (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)^2 everyone! Or if you prefer, 1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 + 6^3 + 7^3 + 8^3 + 9^3 And farewell to -1+(2/.3)*45*6.78-9 (h/t Donald Knuth)
