Me, researching Lord Byron for LLBD: so, Byron absconded with a teenage Greek boy, stranded him in Malta, made a show of writing him into his will and then removed him as soon as he could, and then never spoke to him again? That's... insanely fucked up even by 1811 standards?

says here you came in 5th at last year's Giro d'Italia with 125 points and a total time of 83 hours 20 minutes and... I'm sorry... does this say '13 kills'?

We begin with a look at the very deliberate creation of modern Gaelic football...then we move on to an era of American football so violent that the President gets involved. No, WAY more violent than you're thinking. And way more fatal.

large language models are good at predicting language. that makes them great at rough translation, transcription, and summarization. it also makes them useless at generating or synthesizing useful new information. but it LOOKS like it can do so much more and you only realize it can’t after a while
“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

I was saving @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social Karluk expedition series for my Alaska trip but I ended up not listening then. I'm listening to it today and it's even more fascinating than the facts I already knew. Fuck Stefansson and your friendly Arctic - I love the frozen North but it isn't friendly

spent about 3 hours hunting (successfully 😀) through scans of 1610s history/travel writing for a specific full quotation that was referenced in other places but not included entirely. It will take up 30 - 45 seconds of show time to read in the episode

(side note! I can't recommend the Crash Course: Black American History series enough to teachers whose curriculum touches at all on American history)
