I walked past the NFL Draft buildout in Pittsburgh. The only thing I've seen that's similar is a presidential inauguration. Filing this as exhibit 1.8 million in "Goodell has the easiest job in the world"

Will do but we really just want to take you inside the reporting process. We want to be authentic

Disposable income should really mean "the money that remains after you've disposed of the rest" imo

Saw some people online saying things like "Well, time to put my 401k into bonds" a few weeks ago. No! You're 35!

It’s Getting Harder to Tell Investing From Gambling, and It’s Not Your Fault When the stock market appears unstoppable, it is easy for investors to ​slip past the thin line without noticing.

Strongly believe that Bogleheadism is the one true ideology that every regular person should follow with every red cent of disposable income (not investing advice etc) www.wsj.com/finance/inve...

I wouldn't disregard this, and I hope the media companies win all the lawsuits against them. What I have a hard time making heads or tails of is that professional developers and engineers who *trained* to write great code are hooked on it. The opposite is true in my field (writing)

I thought your Odd Lots episode was instructive about this too. Insanely powerful souped-up search engine: clearly transformative for a lawyer. Writer and fact-checker, clearly dogshit and should get you disbarred. You have to decide which one you get!

i get the vibe that altman thinks this tech makes him a god and loves that, while amodei thinks this tech makes him a god and is pretty freaked out about it.

neither is good but you get the options you get and i know which one of those i find preferable

"it made me a google app script to make my calendar how i like it based on incoming emails and help with notes templating" just doesn't work that well in a viral tweet unfortunately

of all of the sector's mistakes, the biggest one was advertising it to the world as 1) this is gonna take all your jobs and 2) emphasizing image creation, videos, chatbotting, etc., i.e. all the dumbest stuff that provides the least value and the easiest-to-understand downside

I have observed the same. I was doing some testing a few weeks ago, and the best low-stakes example I have observed is 1) it made really bad recommendations about fantasy baseball draft strategy but 2) it built a spreadsheet to spec that allowed me to do the analysis myself

Personally I think this is the likeliest correct take as we stand right now. Hoping for wholesale rejection and stigma of particular uses (writing, "art," etc) to endure but the idea of the genie going back in the bottle after all this just feels like extreme Bsky wishcasting to me

I do not think the reporter asked the question in a creepy way at all, personally. I thought it was asked with a good bit of sensitivity and was fair

My feeling is that "the zeitgeist" would move on more quickly with one rehearsed answer and a note that it'll be the only time it's addressed publicly. But then, I'd have made a bad flack

I think this is very poor PR work because it puts the sheen of scandal on something that is obviously not nefarious

I like that if you refer to the Sabres of the previous 14 years as "the Jets of the NHL," everyone instinctively understands that the NHL has an actual Jets team but that's not what you mean

Harbaugh really did it right. The only way to beat this game is to win the whole thing and then bounce before consequences of any type (lifestyle, NCAA, family, etc) eat you

My big question about the Learfield/TPG sale No, this doesn't mean PRIVATE EQUITY IS COMING FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL. It's already here. But what about the math?

blogged about the learfield sale, which isnt HOLY SHIT PRIVATE EQUITY IS COMING TO EAT COLLEGE SPORTS.

but I do kinda wonder how this is supposed to actually be profitable

I don't think these are the same thing tbh. Those were guys who were natural heir apparent but didn't carry that title for long if at all. (Riley never had it, and I think Day was more of a Sherrone Moore case where his performance while the head guy was in trouble made it likely he'd get the job)

It's interesting that it's worked better in basketball. I wonder why that is. Scheyer too in just the past few years

Every athletic director thinks they're going to pull off the smoothest, most graceful transition when they appoint a coach-in-waiting. It almost never works out that way. Utah got left holding a bag that it did not have to hold

For some NFL Draft prospects, joining the league now means a pay cut from college football (Gift Article) “I’m definitely making less with the Colts,” former Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard said. And he's not alone.

Real good by @davidubben.bsky.social and the quotes from Will Howard and Riley Leonard are way more honest than you'd get out of most players www.nytimes.com/athletic/720...

Watching him, he just looks way more comfy and selective against LHPs. But then you sent me down a rabbit hole to his Savant page, and it's not like he's making radically better swing choices against LHPs this year. Weird player baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-playe...

You should do it. Easiest flight in the world for you, takes like 75 minutes in the air. Science Center is great for that age too
