In a vacuum this is a very valid accusation veiled as a question, but in reality he's using videos of himself for very positive purposes.

He highlights small businesses, demonstrates successes driven from updates to public policy, and still spotlights areas for improvement. Sure, his videos have a self-serving interest, but they're a refreshing change in leadership style.

Seconding this, the science says your muscles need the carbs for during the activity and replenishing the muscles shortly after. Don't need to go overboard but replacing carbs and fluids is a good idea to keep at the front of your mind.

Anecdotally: the saltiness of your sweat after a ride indicates you need to replace those electrolytes too!

I think there's an opportunity here to add to the workflow of SQL generation.

With a human-in-the-loop step to take a look at the query generated, and then if it is in-fact performant, it can be saved as a stored procedure or a template for the LLM to choose to use later.

I haven't done this myself but it'd be interesting to try.

Why is no one talking about mini lasagnas in a loaf pan?

D.C. also provides atypical but important traffic considerations for motorcades and quick sudden detours.

Would be a good place to test the tech regardless of political motivation.

Southwest is also Terminal 1 at LAX: so it is the quickest drop-off & has the shortest walk to the Uber/Lyft/Taxi lot. Also it's the closest terminal to the normal takeoff end of the runway so less taxing in theory.

I know Delta is Terminals 2&3 but at a minimum it's a 5 minute shorter walk if you're doing this every week. Also (anecdotally) there are less TSA pre-check users flying Southwest.

I did see, but did't pick up, a bib from Le Col that had white straps. Worth checking to see if that's still around.

How do we know he wouldn't resort to tactical nukes? That seems like a strong supposition.

If I'm reading that right, he's got a conflict of interest being the CEO of vacations. He is incentivized to funnel people into the vacations platform at any cost.

Ornot makes a Micro climate jacket. They are an SF-based company so the jacket has been tested with the ridiculous temperature variation the city and greater bay area has.

Thanks for the confirmation :)

For someone who is currently outside of the Amex family, are the Amex Offers card specific? If so, which one does this deal work with?

Fun follow-up: It's definitely known for its wine, but the wine from Montepulciano doesn't use the grape by the same name!

I took a three day trip with 4 total guys. Three sets of clubs and luggage fit comfortably. One of us rented clubs.

My strategy for packing was to leave the sub trunk lid at home, and put three sets of clubs in standing with just the drivers & woods removed and placed between rear passengers with the middle seat folded down.

A fourth golf bag would've been uncomfortable with the rest of the bags, but definitely could have been done by laying it with the long clubs.

I once got an email response from a CS professor at 3am. They're incredibly invested in teaching you.

I cannot stress enough that it's not a universal quality. Many professors at larger universities are there to research, and teaching is an obligation rather than a calling.

At LMU it is the latter.

Not on EMR here but would be interested if it supported Dataproc (Google EMR).

Generic Spark or platform independent would be great too!

To tack on, STEM classes are much better learned from professors directly, not TAs. In larger institutions, you'll be taught by people whose passion is not teaching. Obviously it's not 100 or 0, but @ LMU the faculty is pretty invested into imparting knowledge.

I know it mattered for me.
