When I worked at JP Morgan around 2010, I heard stories about traders who got 3-6 months of garden leave (paid full salary, sometimes even more to do nothing - in order to prevent from taking fresh knowledge to a competitor). I thought back then “would that not be awesome?” But

The fact they have curtains and do not use them for football is insane. There is no explanation. Just baffling.
Jerry Jones building a stadium that blinds his own players & causes losses is so on brand

Start a podcast, apparently
Line of the day goes to Penelope after I tell her I need to step out and do a TV hit before we take her and her brother to school. “But wait! Papa! How do you… get out of TV?”

Not really the biggest thing but... the for you tab of this dumb app being completely non-chronological during a breaking news event is just bad design.

Crazy they just ran this scene back, couldn't believe it
A historian is calling ‘GLADIATOR 2’ “total Hollywood bullshit” saying that: • Rhinos in the Colosseum were not the same breed as they are in the film • A scene includes a newspaper & cafe but the printing press would not be invented until 1,200 years later (Source:

The difference is the floor has gone up, so instead of loading tiny optimized pages that needed to load on 56k connections (or worse) at 40Mbps you are getting pages designed to load on 60Mbps connections loading at 200Mbps.
Computers have insanely better CPUs and much more RAM nowadays, yet they feel slower than 20 years ago. I used to think it happens because computers do more useful work. Turns out, better hardware is more forgiving to crappy coding practices.

There are definitely problems with modern appliances, but they generally use like 1/5th the energy they used to, at 1/3 the cost, and 3x the capacity. Seeing old appliances and thinking old appliances all lasted longer is just survivorship bias.
I always sound like a conspiracy theorist when I say this but things are not built how they used to be, i.e., made to last, made to be functional, etc., because of capitalism.

It's definitely a company on the verge of bankruptcy, any day now
Not only was OpenAI's current fundraising round oversubscribed by a staggering amount, The Information is now reporting that for anyone who was lucky enough to make it in OpenAI set a minimum contribution: a quarter of a billion dollars.

They were ahead of their time
Francis Ford Coppola asked Amazon to develop voice-recognition software for ‘MEGALOPOLIS’ It would have allowed moviegoers to ask Adam Driver’s character a question during the film and the theater’s projector would screen the most relevant response Amazon laid off the team

It's really hard to think of interview questions on the spot but "so what is the most prosperous country?" would've been an interesting one here.
JD Vance on CNBC says that if immigration was the path to prosperity, then "America would be the most prosperous country in the world." (Who wants to tell him ... )

"we broke the rules when we fixed the fact that we broke the rules but we are re-breaking the rules because you broke the rules when telling us we broke the rules, and even though you now can prove you didn't break the rules and we accidentally got it right we can't fix it."
The latest on Jordan Chiles: “USA Gymnastics was notified by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Monday that their rules do not allow for an arbitral award to be reconsidered even when conclusive new evidence is presented.”

If the fielding players foot is in the end zone it is a touch back, same as if they plant one foot out of bounds and touch the ball it counts as the ball being out, same as if it were kicked out. Also with new rules if it lands in the end zone it can be downed anyway.
Huge controversy over new kickoff rules. Is this a touchback or a safety?

No part of this would qualify as "AI" Adding a localized sharpening filter to a low quality picture is not AI.
The same companies responsible for enabling motion smoothing on your parents' TV by default are polluting the historical record with "AI enhanced" pictures that phone users don't know about. This picture isn't fake; it's just been tampered with without the user's understanding.

This is the same issue in soccer, it's why very few legit international talents have come through the NCAA system. Creates a tough tradeoff for the kids who don't make it though.
Nate Oats to @SethDavisHoops: "Four hours a week [with players in the summer] is not enough. You look at how many Europeans got drafted in the first round. I think we've got to re-evaluate how we do basketball in the US a little bit. There's no restrictions in Europe. The coaches
