Stavros Macrakis

Well, it's over. I mean his presidency.

@OxfordFoodSymp Can someone DM me the URL for today's "Wiki Club Meeting January 4, 2022"?

BREAKING: Betsy DeVos’ family claims they were conned out of $100 million when they invested in a failed health care startup. I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?

@vttoth Which Lansdowne Park: Ottawa? Ann Arbor? Pennsylvania?

@AntiquityJ cf. "The Akhenaten Temple Project", 1966: "a virtually unlimited amount of information can be condensed into the eighty columns of the IBM punch card." penn.museum/sites/expediti… The technology has advanced a bit.

Thousands of shattered fragments of wall paintings at Pompeii that archaeologists have been unable to reassemble are to be entrusted to a robot guided by artificial intelligence. buff.ly/3yEfVZe

@drmeowza Can you tell us more about the circumstances? How many guests? What exactly does "outdoor" mean? Were the serving staff also vaccinated? etc.

P.S. Very symptomatic. You don’t want it. 😷 5/5

I tested positive for COVID this week, along with 9 of 12 fully vaxxed friends (among others), days after we attended an outdoor wedding (that required proof of vaccination) in 1 of the lowest-risk states in the country. 1/5

@thedailymari @PalmerReport Ha ha

@PalmerReport Nah, he’ll probably be back in office soon, as he rightly should, considering this past election was (very sloppily) stolen. 😂👍🏼

Donald Trump is going to prison.

@hadleywickham NA

@paraschopra @gdb @npew @gwern Nice, but we were doing demos like this at FAST 15 years ago. And 3/4 of your queries are already handled by Google. No doubt GPT3 adds some value, but how much?

I made a fully functioning search engine on top of GPT3. For any arbitrary query, it returns the exact answer AND the corresponding URL. Look at the entire video. It's MIND BLOWINGLY good. cc: @gdb @npew @gwern

@ChenCravat You recount a story about MS Focal in devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20… . But I see no evidence that there ever was an MS Focal. Do you have any?

@EvesJoanna @JoeBiden Yes, isn't it amazing that a pandemic was predicted by epidemiologists long before December, and that some people actually took it seriously? Unlike Trump who actually *fired* the people we had who were working on responding to it.

@JoeBiden Why were you talking about a "Pandemic" back in October Joe? When the first cases of Pneumonia outbreaks by an "unknown" cause only surfaced in Wuhan December? 🤔🤔

Two tweets from the same day in October.

@imRohanbakshi @JoeBiden Truly amazing that a president could be so incompetent, so offensive, so stupid, so corrupt, so lawless. I never thought it was possible.

@dtunkelang He should lead by example. Maybe starting with the mask before injecting Lysol.

@katiacadoret Merci de votre article sur le Mont-Blanc dans le M-C de 10/2019. J'ai cherché après des sources fiables pour son arrivée en France en 1620 et son invention en Italie sans succès (voir en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Blan…, où j'ai résumé ce que j'ai appris). Avez-vous réussi?

@itsjamesstewart Thanks for virtual tour article. But the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Barquq is hardly "off-limits to tourists". We were there 6 weeks ago!

@Target I thought I'd try Target's reasonably priced house brand coffee. I didn't expect specialty roaster quality, but I also didn't expect "Light Roast" to be dark and oily.

@davidchang Maybe at Milk Bar.

In 2019 that milkshake now would be $24 bucks

@realDonaldTrump "what the hell do I know?" Indeed.

What do I know about branding, maybe nothing (but I did become President!), but if I were Boeing, I would FIX the Boeing 737 MAX, add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name. No product has suffered like this one. But again, what the hell do I know?

@PhilipGreenspun Jerks vandalize Wikipedia, yes. Your point?

Gillette versus Dorco Shaving Test 1 philip.greenspun.com/blog/2019/01/2…

@dtunkelang Fixed.

@dtunkelang To its credit, Wikipedia has had an article on her since 2012. But the Word Processor article, History section #History" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_proc… does not mention her, though it does mention other Selectric-based word processors from 1969.
