  1. Past hour
  2. Meta needed a shitton of data, ANY kind of data, to feed into their LLM's. For LLM's that generate video, that data tends to be video data. As part of collecting training datasets, Meta used torrenting to download and reseed a BUNCH of copyrighted works, as well as some porn, and even CSAM. Which means they were distributing child porn via torrent seeding, and propagating that child abuse, for the sake of building a more capable video generation large language model
  3. So they used porn to teach their AI? Or did they post porn on FB?
  4. Secondary communication is the biggest unknown. Losing Mkuba and Barron is a big blow. Last year we never seemed to have busted coverages. If the back end holds up I think we are a more complete defense.
  5. Yeah, you have to operate from a position of truth, but that doesn't mean it all has to be reactive. Go on the offensive. Call bullshit. Be ugly. Just stay factual -- the facts are there.
  6. 1.) if you stay on the above plan you will improve. Be patient with yourself the game(swing, results....) is hauntingly mysterious at times. 2.) it won't make a material difference to your progress. is nice information to have. 3.) yes, but resist the temptation to go beserk. Look for highly regarded "game improvement" irons. More forgiving. 4.) Most golfers are extremely welcoming and nice. Largely you will NOT be given unsolicited advice, most of us are fellow sufferers. Learn course/play etiquette. Know when its time to pick up your ball on a hole. Don't expect people you are paired with to watch you grind out a 15 on a par 4
  7. Then what’s with the eye roll?
  8. Dude would die of a coronary 2 blocks into that walk.
  9. Although off topic, the scarring horror flicks talk has been fun. It really got me thinking about movies that haunted me as a kid. My dad passed away when I was 11 and my mom was never home, leaving me to care for my younger sister quite often. I was unfortunate enough to see When a Stranger Calls around that time and, yes, it scared the crap out of me.
  10. I expect the 2025 defense to be better for a few reasons. 1) The offense isn’t going to constantly pull a disappearing act and run through a second half streak of turnovers and 3 and outs. The Arizona State game is a classic example of an offense fatiguing its own defense and almost costing the team the ball game. 2) Elite pass rush. Texas can send ballers in waves from the edge or the second level. I am comfortable expecting Hill and Simmons to remain elite and that will enable the entire front to feast. 3) Elite talent on every level. Simmons, Watson, Hill on the front 7. Muhammad and Taaffe behind that. That’s to say nothing of the other guys also being highly regarded for the most part. Where is an actual weakness that isn’t just handwringing? Like I said, if we have all of this stud talent and experience all over the field then it’s either a top 3 defense that puts the fear of God in opposing offenses or what the fuck are we doing here?
  11. Alamo Drafthouse used to do a screening where you would float on a tube in Lake Travis and watch Jaws. Fucking terrifying.
  12. Used Onwell for the first time this year. They successfully reduced our assessed value by $56,000 and saved us a little over $ 1,000 this year. I may have done better on my own, but the time saved was worth it.
  13. No problem with the Ferguson contract. He's very good when he's been healthy, still young. In a year his salary will be average starting TE, he'll probably be at least that as a player. That's the way NFL go. TE's that can make plays for an average salary don't grow on trees. Best of all, it probably keeps Dallas from reaching for a first or second round pick overdrafting another sure-fire future star TE bust. That can save that pick for another Michigan DT bust.
  14. My Mom and Dad loved baseball … thankfully, I had no choice. Our family spent many summer evenings at Disch Field rooting for the Senators. We saw a few future MLers pass through … Frank Howard (Victoria Rosebuds) and Willie McCovey (Fort Worth Cats) come to mind. Years later, my Dad told me that we also saw Brooks Robinson. Funny, I only remember seeing him in person many years later in Baltimore at the end of his fabulous career. Baseball was much more fun when BA, ERA, W-L were the stats we tracked … unlike now where the nerds have created data minutiae to eye rolling levels.
  15. You're conceding the point that "facts are CR" before even getting to the conversation. You're complying in advance of the fascists. That is how fascists control language and control the dialogue and remove the linguistic capability of disagreeing with them. Orwell wrote a book about where that sort of thing leads. I'm not saying that the strategy is go "go high". I'm saying the Dems should fight fire with factual fire. Most of the republicans accusations are confessions. Go to the matt, drag out that dirt, disinfectant everything with sunlight. Blast from the heavens every goddamn republican that gets caught with kiddie porn and fucking children. That's facts that employs rhetoric. That however unfortunately is "CR", while spouting off random hateful bullshit is protected as "just being an idiot".
  16. Is that Strait? Ketchum’s homerism and, at that time, willingness to hoist his lardass into his vehicle and attend HS games actually paid off here. He was begging for Texas to pursue Strait. Also, everyone wanted Kendrick Turner. I think that dude was a top 150 recruit. His issues were mental and folks just didn’t evaluate that aspect well back in the day.

  18. Strike 3 is that company that files lawsuits against anyone who's I.P. was involved in porn torrents. Rember when grandmas were getting sued because of their grandkids downloading MP3s? This is like that except it's porn.
  19. All the experts from around the country anticipate our defense to be better in 2025 than 2024, that is crazy. This was an interesting video that came up on my feed recently:
