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.

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)

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.

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."
