One fun AI benchmark I inadvertently made was getting a model to replicate normal distribution CDFs in SQL (handy for dbt!). No model could do it with precision until thinking models - I finally got it perfectly with Deepseek R1.

"Analytics" are bad when they do not do they appropriately take into account context

Congrats to the Lakers on making it into positive-point-differential territory.

After 20 years, the Hornets have finally won 8 in a row.

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

GO HORNETS GO

Just in: The Chicago Bulls are trading Coby White and Mike Conley Jr. to the Charlotte Hornets for Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dieng and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

The Hornets' resume is hilarious

@tvaziri.com a Brooklyn 99 VFX mystery ! My hunch was either a reshoot, didn't have a vending machine, or vending machine was showing logos (inside of the machine looks to be parallax free on the camera jostle in the scene)

Congrats to the finalists and honorable mentions for the 2026 #BigDataBowl Analytics Track

Your Charlotte Hornets:

I'm telling you, the Twin Cities are teeming with stories exactly like this

A message for you all to carry through the year

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

Stranger Things Season 5 should have been a terrible Rise of Skywalker but instead it was a pleasant mostly predictable Return of the Jedi.

Boston's 6-4 Derrick White guarded 7-1 Lauri Markkanen nearly the entire game last night and blocked his shot four times. Tied NBA record for a guard with 7 blocks on the night.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Stranger Things season 6

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

J-Dub is so real for this. When asked what about the Spurs took the Thunder out of their game... 👽

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."
