Comments below this are trying to argue it's just pre-game and that in-game atmosphere is different. The loudest *sound* I've heard in my life was watching this play from the endzone youtu.be/TmYZEvUco7g?t=163 All noise merged into a solid tone. My ears were ringing for hours
We’re not really pretending the atmospheres at Stamford Bridge, Craven Cottage, the Olympic Stadium etc are better than this are we?

These were two mediocre teams! Carolina fans have a reputation as being comparatively docile and Kenan Stadium isn't even that big! This was ~60k. There are stadiums that hold >100k that are rocking the whole game.

I wish people would stop pretending that anyone has a monopoly on quality fan/stadium/sporting experiences. They are so many unique and exciting venues and events all around the world.

Been a lot of Europe/UK vs USA discourse over the last few weeks on here. What I find comical is how Americans are criticized for being culturally unaware of the rest of the world (many are!), while so many from Europe can be simultaneously so confidently wrong about the US.

There are probably hundreds of reasons, but I think it’s mostly competitive tribalism. “You may have X, but we have Y! It’s way better and you don’t have anything like that!” Everyone has interesting culture, geography, stadiums, etc. We should stop trying to compare and 1-up

Soccer, football, cricket, baseball, rugby, basketball, tennis, darts…whatever! Sport, competition, fanhood, traditions…it’s all fascinating if you have an open mind and allow yourself to be immersed in the event.

The US is littered with old college football stadiums that are the heart of their communities Kenan Stadium opened in 1927. It holds 63k. The population of Chapel Hill is only 61. It’s not even considered among the greats!
It's about the history, culture and fan experience. The below has been the home of the #Gills since 1893. Proper football stadiums are at the heart of their community and have history. Not souless bowls.

I studied media production in school because it was interesting/fun. But I also knew there are more people looking for work in the industry than there are job opportunities. Supply/demand drives the pay downward. I went into a career in software instead.

No one is forcing people to do this work. Filmmaking is largely a labor of love, particularly indie films. A bonus structure based on profit would be nice, but the majority don’t make money and there are plenty of people willing to do the work without that.

“X the everything app” …makes a second app

The @claudeai team usage data seems to think we had 46 pull requests in April. In just ONE (of many) repos on the org connected to the account we have had 78 PRs. I don't know where the breakdown is, but I haven't seen anyone else reporting how wrong these metrics are.

The OpenAI Usage dashboard is almost unusable. Data and charts take 1 minute to load if they load at all. So hard to get insights when you have bigger teams using lots of different models across a number of api keys.

Myth is certainly sounds impressive, but does anyone know what the G in AGI stands for?
Claude Mythos. Ten trillion parameters: the first model in this weight class. Estimated training cost: ten billion dollars. On the hardest coding test in the industry (SWE bench) it scores 94%. It found a security flaw in a system that had been running for 27 years, one that every human engineer and every automated check had missed. It found another bug that had survived five million test runs over 16 years. (It did so overnight.) It is so capable in cybersecurity that Anthropic will not release it to the public, instead it is launching Project Glasswing along with 100m in compute credits to help secure software. Only twelve partners currently have access: Amazon, Cisco, Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, JPMorgan Chase, Crowdstrike, Palo Alto, AWS, The Linux Foundation, Broadcom. (I'm sure the Pentagon is on the line?) This is not a product launch: it is a controlled deployment of a system too powerful to distribute freely. Tell me this isn't (very expensive) AGI?

Seeing this tactic more and more from people who consider themselves legitimate journalists. Intentionally getting facts wrong to inflate engagement because it increases the reach. I wish the algorithms would bury this stuff because people cant help themselves from responding

What exactly happened here? Overnight shipping order made on Tuesday afternoon 10am Wed email saying delayed 4pm email saying it shipped 7pm email saying delayed Overnight means it is just coming from the local warehouse. So did the driver screw up?

1. His Dean Smith impression is funny, and it seems like they had a good relationship 2. Dean was 100% correct. The rules are the rules and you don’t change them to your liking. Hess getting “revenge” for being reminded of that just backs up everything I felt about him as a ref
"You can’t make up your own rules." Karl Hess shares with @richroth70 the time Dean Smith sent him "homework" after a 50-point blowout. Hear how Karl got revenge 😂 🔗Full interview on YouTube #MarchMadness #ACC #NoHoldsBarred #NCAAHoops #UNC #CollegeHoops #UVa #Virginia

Let's call a spade a spade. White labeling and reselling is not innovation.

I hate systems that do this. It feels like the lazy approach to handling surges in loads and DB transactions. Cary is not small, but it's not massive. ~180,000 people live here. The camps being registered for will have probably 10-100 kids each.

GPT 5.4 imminent? This was in codex a moment ago It is set to 5.3 as seen, but I randomly got this error

Also I'm not doing anything sketchy at all. I'm working on some of our admin form screens for @aptrivia 😂
