With the institution of replay review and ABS, it can sometimes feel like baseball is a little too normal these days, that it lacks whimsy or esoterica, or that games can no longer be decided by vestigial rules that were codified during the Hayes administration. This impress...

On their very first offensive possession of Game 4 on Monday night, the Detroit Pistons did what every big man–turned-commentator suggests every team do on its first possession: They ran a play to get their center a post-up. In this case, Duncan Robinson backscreened Wendell...

Claude unlearns things that we had settled a long time ago. It fumbles around with a process, making it worse with every iteration, the same fumbling it did five days ago when it initially learned how to do what it can't do now. Usually when I regress in software, I am responsible for it, i did something to break it, but here's a tool that's capable of derailing us with me doing nothing new. In that way it behaves more like an imperfect human than a GIGO machine.

The Era of AI Malaise. “The AI has learned to code. The AI is building itself. Will I have a job tomorrow? Will the market crash? Why does OpenAI need a bunker? Do I need a bunker? Maybe I should have a bunker.”

Michael is a bad movie. Let’s just get that out of the way now. It is a movie designed less to tell a story than to recreate moments, ones you are probably already familiar with. It is a movie designed to give you a karaoke experience in a theater setting with other like-min...

Smart money says that sports gambling scandals will be more dog-licks-man than man-bites-dog real soon. But for now, this rates as big college football news: Texas Tech announced on Monday that quarterback Brendan Sorsby has left the program to get treated for a gambling addiction.

The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported that Sorsby, who transferred to the Red Raiders in January after two years at Cincinnati, will enter a residential rehab facility. According to the school, the length of his stay at the treatment center is “indefinite.”

“We love Brendan and support his decision to seek professional help,” Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire said, in a statement released by the school. “Taking this step requires courage, and our primary focus is on him as a person.”

In 1999, a Dallas County jury sentenced Charles Flores to death for capital murder after a burglary turned deadly in Farmers Branch.

There are some surprises in the NBA first round, but maybe no greater than the Pistons. ESPN answers a question I had:

The Pistons are the third team to win 60 games in the regular season but trail 3-1 in its opening series, according to ESPN Research. Each of the previous two teams – the 2011 San Antonio Spurs and 2007 Dallas Mavericks – extended its series but lost in six games.

A question I'd like to put out there. Maybe AI needs the massive data centers now, but they could definitely get more efficient over time. There might be another Moore's Law in there. And the work is going very fast, and maybe they're leaving other optimizations for later. T...
