The stats behind the Chinese transition to renewables are absolutely staggering (300 nuclear plants of energy generation created per year!). Actually we do have the solution to carbon emissions, and the economics are now undeniable. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

Occasional reminder that this is actually a pizza account South shore bar style (45% hydration, 10% oil). Di Napoli tomatoes, scarmoza, nduja

For more than 9 years, I have remained irrationally angry that Dunkin' Donuts does not exist in Canada

*slaps roof of powerpoint* you should see how many slides this machine can cram into 60 minutes (the answer, currently, is 160 and likely to go up)

A friend's dad was the fire fighter supervising pyro at Fenway Park for The Rolling Stones (2005?). Got us in, last minute, for free. Basically at the stage. Turned around and saw, if I recall correctly, that Doug Flutie and Arnold Schwarzenegger had worse seats than 2 broke college kids

On top of that, every year since 2016 (barring 2020) around July 6, we visit Indie Ale House (not on bluesky) because that's the first place we visited on arrival. I used to add it to the same Twitter thread every year. But I deleted that nonsense. So continues the tradition of Indie Ale House

Today, American independence day (and nearly 9 years to the day I came to Canada), I will take the oath to become a Canadian citizen. By swearing allegiance to King Charles Someone at immigration thought this would be funny (I think it's funny too)

As a Derek also from New England that's also on vacation this week almost strictly for the purposes of sorting out long overdue personal items and errands: ouch.

honestly I like the sound of mean square blunder more than mean square error

b -> a

weird way of spelling data collection platform

What does one do with left over tteokbokki? Pizza. half mashed potato + caciocavallo, half tteokbokki topped with stracciatella post bake

We had the pleasure of hosting a data scientist from Sahlgrenska (Sweden). Anna spent time shadowing how we bring healthcare ideas to deployment. She spent time with us during a particularly interesting period: redeployment after massive transformation (new EPR) sahlgrenskaliv.se/ai-i-praktik...

Congrats to these folks for beating our 5 person costume world record! #5treetcar has some training to do. www.instagram.com/p/DIGqmZVMwA...

My LinkedIn has been flooded with "cautionary tales" of how good ChatGPT is at faking reciepts from restaurants. First of all I don't get it. Second of all every example has actually been bad with glaring errors (spelling, alignment) What an interesting platform over there at LinkedIn

Sour cream and onion potato chip inspired pizza. Thinly sliced Yukon, chives, caciocavallo, galotyri, breadcrumbs, pepper, onion salt

sort of avant-garde pizza: mashed potato pizza. delightful. stolen from/inspired by Cafe San Gennaro in Montreal

Elsevier and other publishers could really gain some (but not much) good will back from academics if they sue the pants off Meta

celebrating St. Patrick's day as intended and in line with tradition. With a green slushie wheat beer from Sam Adams

Typical Boston. Trying to have their own pizza rat, many years later, and completely missing the mark. (obligatory Yankees Suck)

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

It's because they aren't search engines but now largely sit with or in place of search engines My take away from all genAI is that people want better search with plainer language input and short (but 100% accurate) summaries and pointers But that's not quite how latent spaces work

First time I've called my senators. Please call yours today.

I was one of the participants, apparently. When I saw the 250: I accepted. I've also declined every non monetary offer since (which is many many more invites)

why are they both Ricky Bobby

submarine movies are the best and Down Periscope is a wonderful take on "there's a problem" (it's the crew of goofballs)

apropos of all this dairy nonsense here's an article from 2023 with reference to 2002 WTO ruling. facts are fun. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

hey internet. look at this photogenic himbo

Boston doesn't back down.

I have several papers about new methods and/or software. Some aren't cited. Some are (wildly) undercited. I can point to individuals who use those tools and never cite (the methods only exist in packages I created in R). and a boatload of emails asking for help, rarely if ever cited

avant garde pizzas are the best pizzas. all dough/cook style is south shore (Massachusetts) bar style pizza. I'll detail each in the following tweets or whatever we call them

Boston friends!

a friend was trying to come up with "pizza detective puns" and I just want to say two things: (1) Hercule Pep-poirot-ni, and (2) Detective Munch (not even a pun, just a multiversal detective)

What's that? You want to buy local Canadian products? Some of us prepared for this eventuality : saintjohnswort.ca/ontario-brew...
