🚨Announcement!🚨 After 21 years (!!!) I'm leaving USC/ISI. I've grown up — literally and figuratively — at ISI, and I can't put into words what working for the university has meant to me. But it's time for new challenges! As for what's next, challenge #1 is "Take a breath"

What’s so bad about the #kangz isn’t the KANGZ-iness of it all, honestly. It’s that the NBA media kinda treats them like the living embodiment of the “I feel bad for you”/“I don’t think about you at all” meme. No “What Next?” pieces or trade scenarios or whatever. Just 🤷🏻‍♂️ and 🦗

Looking again for clear eyes + full hearts @DallasCowboys - experienced, flexible, collaborative. Devs, are you a good fit or know someone who is? Please amplify our search by sharing this message #DallasCowboys   #CowboysNation @nfl #FullStackDeveloper https://t.co/iMijsqrD2s

Let’s see…lane and lemon, lane and lemon, lane and lemon.. Hmm, how about: STREET AND SOUR Yeah, that’ll do. ::wipes hands:::

Landman is literally a Madlib with nothing but scenes where someone [says something threatening to Billy Bob Thornton] and he snarls back "you do that, you just wait...[threatens something worse]" and it's also probably the best TV show in history. I'm not made of wood, man.

I’m a Miami fan — so, well, you know — but BYU is, was, and [until the committee does the right thing this season], always will be FRAWWW DJUUUUU LENTTTTT

We're expanding our Football Data Science team @ClubBrugge. As our Football Data Scientist, you'll work with one of the most advanced analytics infrastructures in football to help management, scouting, and analysis staff turn data into better decisions. https://t.co/oKSe6Q3WiD

I’m really proud of what we’re building at @FantasyPts / @FantasyPtsData We have the best content and the best data in the game, but our tools still need a lot of work HMU if you think you you can help or know someone who might be a good fit

Lookong forward to the national discourse — and @benbbaldwin’s Tuesday Graph Bonanza™️ — FINALLY shifting from platitudes about fraudulent Drake Maye to a frank discussion about the next Brady/Tiger/Serena/Shohei in American sport: Bo Chapman Nix.

100%. Maybe not him specifically, but someone in that 16-20. Which is kind of hilariously ironic: If Nix actually was the QB people think he is, the Broncos might be SB favorites.

We must never forget CC: @pablofindsout, @_AndrewCallahan, @DannyBKelly

Given their O-line and defense who’s the *worst* QB that’d make the Broncos Super Bowl favorites? (It’s so weird how objective measures put Nix in the bottom 5 of QBs, yet he’s consistently in that “scrappy, gutty, unflappable game manager” 17-20 range in most media rankings)

We’re excited to launch the 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐗 𝐏𝐲𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐂𝐮𝐩 - a hackathon-style challenge that will bring together the community to collaborate, compete, and innovate using open-source @SkillCorner data. 👉 Sign up https://t.co/PbJpd2rqjP

Excited to share something for the football analysis community. I’ve created an open-source repository on web scraping football data from popular websites. It’s a central place to learn different scraping methods and understand how data is collected 🧵 🔗 https://t.co/rxagnzLbV3

Ah, yes, that’s a known behavior of most goodhart-o3-mini based models 😜

Texas’ best second order win may now be New Mexico, because New Mexico knocked off Big 10 powerhouse UCLA.

Thread🧵: I've built a tool for shot tagging in hockey. It is very much inspired by An Nguyen's shot-plotter. I built a floorball version mostly for personal use, but figured a hockey version would be interesting to other people as well. https://t.co/lwypy2oMC2

…Tenure Guy®️taught from the same lecture notes for 25 years, as mountains of research whizzed right past his boomer head, and now we’re just assuming everyone — and I mean fucking EVERYONE — is gonna rethink pedagogy/curriculum from the molecular level up? This feels realistic?

Hate to sound like That Guy™️ given, y’know, BUT: Universities are *already* at least 5 years behind adopting these technologies, much less actually integrating them into learning objectives/curriculum (if they EVER will). The value prop is diminishing by the day. Literally.
