NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:

Extremely cool to see fantastic work is still happening in the women's hockey analytics space :)

An analytical dive into special teams play from the 2024-25 PWHL season.

Your regular reminder that the number of trans kids using puberty blockers to delay puberty is tiny, and the vast majority of prescriptions for the medication in children and adolescents are used to delay precocious puberty in cisgender kids.

This might be my favorite JWST image from the nearby Universe so far. You’re seeing the late stages of evolution of a star like the Sun, after it’s exhausted its nuclear fuel. This is a transient phase where it’s ejected its outer gas layers, which are then irradiated by the hot stellar remnant.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I asked the WPBL if coaches' salaries would be coming from the same $95k/team budget and I was told by their PR person that it should not, but they have to double check.

Nice! Had I been a recent graduate, this would have been my ideal job Great opportunity for the up-and-comers out there

Love to see the PWHL get serious about their (business side) data!! www.teamworkonline.com/hockey-jobs/...

Got a cool bit of promotional merch from the '98 Nagano Olympics at an estate sale today

I can confirm that I'm indeed in the best shape of my life going into [women's league] training camp this year 😤

Amid the political dysfunction, SEPTA’s 700,000 daily riders — or however many were still taking transit amid the cuts — spent their weekday commutes trying to navigate the agency’s new austerity schedule. (2/2)

Hundreds of thousands of people in Southeastern Pennsylvania who rely on public transit had to adjust to deep cuts in SEPTA’s service this week. We rode along with one Northeast Philly rider who’s adjusting to a new reality. 📹 by Jenna Miller / Staff (1/2)

“The potential reduction in SEPTA’s financial contribution will have a negative impact on Amtrak’s ability to reinvest in the rail network,” the national passenger railroad said in a statement Tuesday. Read on for more ⬇️ 🔗 inquirer.com/politics/sep...

It is possible to build machine learning systems which punch up instead of punching down.

Not to be outdone by Vancouver, PWHL Seattle announced their first signing Wednesday in the exclusive expansion window — Boston Fleet captain Hilary Knight. www.theicegarden.com/pwhl-seattle...

A chaotic first night of signings for PWHL Vancouver and PWHL Seattle. VAN: - Sarah Nurse - Claire Thompson - Sophie Jaques - Emerance Maschmeyer SEA - Hilary Knight - Daniell Serdachny We've got you covered at @DailyFaceoff dailyfaceoff.com/pwhl-seattle-signs-hilary-knight-team-usa-expansion/

Food for thought. Carpenter, Knight, Jenner, Pannek, Nurse, Roque, and Maschmeyer are all making at least $80k USD. They each represent a minimum of 6% of their team's "cap". So, NY, for example, could clear at least 12% of their cap in the expansion draft. That's huge. A potential reset.

Yall should check out this nifty expansion draft tool over on @theicegarden.bsky.social by tool making MVP @jbouch.bsky.social 👀 www.theicegarden.com/john-bouchar...

My PWHL Elo ratings system gives the Frost about a 2/3rds chance of winning today. Minnesota's Elo has soared in these playoffs to now be 1330.

The PWHL has announced expansion processes & rules for Seattle & Vancouver. They will have a mini free agency period in addition to an expansion draft. Existing teams can protect 3 players. Once they lose 2 in either signing or expansion draft they can add 1 more protected player. #PWHL

This is a really interesting quiz to test your ability to spot misinformation headlines (I scored 19/20: 100% on identifying the misinformation ones, marked one real one as fake.) yourmist.streamlit.app

He noted there was initial resistance to the river trail, with some residents believing it would provide a path for criminals. “People said this is going to ruin the neighborhood,” he said. “In reality, you know what happened? Homes increased in value.”

PWHL released the 2025 draft eligibility list. Here's some coeffs from a pois reg for a NCAA D1 team level model. Strength of schedule a focus for points based analysis, but most top scorers play tougher games. Wisconsin the kind of super team I wish would declare all at once

I hate that it took Lisa Brown-Miller passing away for me to learn what an amazing person and player she was. It was my honor and privilege to get to write about her career and legacy in women's hockey.

Should be noted that distance traveled correlates strongly with pace, which probably matters for analysis of wear and tear since straight line running up and down the court is less of a worry than rapid accel/decel and other sharp direction changes/jumps.

Woke up to thousands of new followers at the other site. Here's the mixtape I posted for the new folk⁸s #Baseballiscinema

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

Postal services are infrastructure. Highways don’t make profit either.

With the College of Cardinals choosing new Pope, here's a conclave data viz thread ⛪️📊🧵 This was the most diverse conclave ever, by far 🌍 ... a century ago, more than half of cardinal electors were Italian 🇮🇹

Cardinal League Pass means voters are much more familiar with the games of Western Hemisphere Cardinals, reducing the Italy bias we saw in previous voting.

This is still a ways off, if it happens, which is obviously not great currently but if it happens would almost certainly include increased access (read: public transportation) going to the PNE.

Danielle Marmer confirms the #PWHL GMs have not been informed by the league how the expansion draft will work yet, nor how that will affect their rosters.

Girl are you displacing enough water to create an upward force that counteracts gravity? Cause that really floats my boat.
