Yo también Óscar. Yo también.

One of those cards I'd like to own but not at the price people want for it.

@markhoyle4.bsky.social for a moment when I saw what this eBay seller had available I thought it was you selling stuff. #cardsky
A 1969 Atlantic Richfield print of Jim Lonborg, a signed HoF postcard of Monte Irvin, two GSBCC promo cards featuring Lonborg and Irvin, and an early-90s postcard from Tacoma showing Bob Boone in a throwback uniform.

Very interesting read.

The analytical argument in the NFL for going for 2 after a touchdown cuts the lead from 14 to 8 seems solid. But the actual reality of the results says otherwise.

Going for 2 down 8 has led to exactly 2 wins in the history of the NFL.

Hear me out: what if simple probability models lead to bad decision-making in professional football?
Stop going for 2 down 8
What if the analytics people are flat out wrong?

Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads. I ditched it awhile ago for other political reasons, but this might tip your hand.

Thanks for the heads up @chuckwendig.bsky.social.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...
Three images showing photographers in a studio, standing around a black curtained area with a projector and a 'Windows' logo etched onto a glass pane. The lower image shows a version of the iconic blue windows background, with blue lasers outlining and passing through an angled Windows logos against a dark background.

Since the method will likely deny care to more people I don't think cost effectiveness is the correct concern.

Yeah this premise is bullshit but there's also zero chance this has been QA tested responsibly either.

Facial expressions common to all humans! 🙃
PainChek is one of these behavioral models, and it acts like a camera‑based thermometer, but for pain: A care worker opens the app and holds a phone 30 centimeters from a person’s face. For three seconds, a neural network looks for nine particular microscopic movements—upper‑lip raise, brow pinch, cheek tension, and so on—that research has linked most strongly to pain. Then the screen flashes a score of 0 to 42. “There’s a catalogue of ‘action‑unit codes’—facial expressions common to all humans. Nine of those are associated with pain,” explains Kreshnik Hoti, a senior research scientist with PainChek and a co-inventor of the device. This system is built directly on the foundation of FACS. After the scan, the app walks the user through a yes‑or‑no checklist of other signs, like groaning, “guarding,” and sleep disruption, and stores the result on a cloud dashboard that can show trends.

Working: my mobile, wife's mobile, parents' home
Not working: in-laws' home, dad's old work

And should memorize: both kids' mobiles (though I never call them just text)
