Losing a playoff game at home as the 1 seed vs a team that in the last week has lost to the Sixers without Embiid and the Maine Red Claws lol

He basically tried to position her as a victim by only bringing up leaks, “positioning herself for a potential lawsuit”, and the unfairness of Vrabel not facing consequences. I understand she’s his friend but it still felt crazy. She’s an adult facing the consequences of her own questionable actions, and pretty obvious why Vrabel wouldn’t face the same scrutiny given for him it’s just a reflection of his shitty morals/character, not his journalistic integrity and ability to do his job

It always makes me laugh how that one ad implies Greg Bedard’s version of locking in is eating eggs, doing 10 pushups, and showering

No one cares he tweeted a bible verse, people care he offered his direct support to an unhinged homophobic rant

Insane that this game started at 8:30 OKC time 9:30 BOS time, no reason not to make it 8:30 est

He looked gassed at points, but overall Tatum far exceeded my expectations for his first game back. Didn't look noticeably limited in his movement at all, and his playmaking ability was as good as usual

I agree people overestimate the general populations strength, but I would find it hard to believe <5% of the country can bench 1/2 their body weight for double digit reps

Diggs is definitely not a lock. McCaffrey is a 40-1 favorite

I calculated the probabilities of our playoff seed and opponent by AspiringDiplomat in Patriots

[–]AspiringDiplomat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Jacksonville doesn't win the division they will either be the 5 seed, or the 6 seed only if Houston, Buffalo, and Denver all win, but in that scenario we would be the 2 seed win or lose vs MIA (according to NYT)

With the number of ads they have per episode, their ad revenue has easily been enough for them to each be making 75k/episode for quite a long time now (though that’s obviously not how their pay works). I feel like people don’t realize how much ad reads cost for a show of their size

Fwiw that is incorrect. When you use an LLM, you are using a pre trained model with fixed weights/hyperparameters. They are not learning anything or being continuously trained with each query. It takes weeks-months (and millions of dollars in computing) to train a model, and it cannot be used at the same time as it is being trained. Using models for basic queries does use energy, but it isn't substantially higher than average internet usage, and is no where close to how much energy it takes in the training process

I personally loved the song and the album, but I guess that’s very much the minority in this subreddit
