Ole Miss (which will return to mediocrity after this year when Trinidad is gone.)

Just looking at Indiana and Ole Miss the common denominator would in fact appear to be having key players who are in their late 20s.

Insane Julius Jones slander.

It’s a very interesting wormhole to go down into. I (personally) think that if you take all the evidence in hand, and consider the idiosyncrasies / unexplained issues for what they are (without frothing at the mouth, just consider them, dismiss some as non-issues, acknowledge some as real or potential issues, etc.), then it makes it unlikely (e.g. 45% probability) that the moon landing footage shown to the public was an accurate depiction of the US traveling to the moon surface. That doesn’t mean that we didn’t land on the moon in a fashion analogous to the footage, im speaking exclusively to the validity of the footage. I think it is more likely than not that the moon landing footage was “faked,” as it were. The implications of that are very interesting, but are altogether a separate and unrelated topic in my view.

hardly post here. Came to share what I’ve heard. Sorry you’re upset.

To the extent someone told you that, they were clearly patronizing you and told you the most ridiculous thing they could think of. Perhaps they were wondering whether this shmoe just takes this right to the Rant. Then they check and see one “Busch” posting this apparent insider info. Classic info-ruse.

AI already solved a very old math equation last week that was considered impossible.

I think someone else in the thread may have caught this, but I believe they just copied someone’s academic work on the subject. And to be clear neither the academic work nor OpenAI’s appropriation of their work has been shown to involve use of AI in the first place.

Speaks to a larger problem with all the doomer theories on AI. People just throw out these fantastic achievements left and right but the reality is if it isn’t something mundane that is saving people some narrow amount of time (i.e. doc organization & summaries, text pre-fill, atrocious novels and movies), you’ll find that there’s an astounding chance that it is completely made up. And to be clear I would unequivocally place Anthropic’s cure to cancer in the “completely made up” category - not in the “they’re working on it but they’re not actually that close” sense, but more so in the “they’re not actually even working on that” sense.

Edit - this is besides the point but the academic solution wasn’t even of the nature presented by OpenAI. It was a solution to the navier-stokes problem. It’s beyond my IQ, but as I understand, it’s a complicated fluid dynamics proposition that doesn’t have a “solution” in the 1+1=2 fashion that we typically think of. It’s more of a challenge to make any way to predict anything about this complex system. The “solution” found by the academics, while a huge achievement, was a very narrow proofing that had to assume very narrow conditions under this fluid system in order to permit a “solution” that was able to make a workable input -> output theory on system behavior.

I digress. My understanding of this sort of thing is limited to the explanations of “non linear systems” and “chaos theory” used in the Jurassic Park novels.

Not sure what the jails are like but I believe Singapore has a very expansive view on which crimes warrant life in prison / death penalty.

Come again?

Also everything in OP’s post is just Altman-ese for “we are once again nearly out of money.”

Seems reasonable. Average age of indianas starters would have been like 4 years older than LSU’s.

Tom Izzo has built a lot more equity in college basketball than Will Wade.

This summarizes the hate for wade since day 1. It was fine for Coach K, Rick Pitino, et.al. to pay players, but it wasn’t okay for Wade to do so. Why, because “equity”? Get outta here. it was dumb when that wine-drunk bastard dick vitale went on his campaign, and it’s MUCH dumber now in the NIL era.

It makes me feel like you need something better to do with your day sir.

The amount of statistical framing and reframing I’m seeing on this topic reminds me of people zooming in and out of world temperature graphs when arguing about global warming lmao.
