@cremieuxrecueil Best fried chicken you will ever eat. share.google/oD4BcdploSFYtm…

The story behind Korea becoming the master of cooking chicken is incredible They do two things that force people into making chicken: 1. They discriminate against old people 2. They have a very poor old-age social safety net So people open chicken shops, iterate, improve, etc.

@hugowiz I visited Varenna one cold day in December 2019, and although it was sparsely populated, it still was a beautiful visit. The sunset across Lake Como was spectacular.

I am on a bus to Dervio, and I can see that Varenna is packed with tourists, despite the short weather

@rorysutherland We really wouldn’t need this in Atlanta. It takes one hour to go anywhere here.

Seriously, I think it is a public duty to introduce everyone to the paceometer: spectator.co.uk/article/why-dr…

@CharmOfCulture I visited Orvieto this past December. Although it rained most of the day, it was a lovely town to visit. I really want to go back to the region to explore more.

📍Orvieto Built on a volcanic plateau, it rises dramatically above the valley. Known for its cathedral with a golden façade and its vast underground tunnels carved from tufa stone.

Next on our tour of Italy’s 20 regions: Umbria 🇮🇹 The only region in central Italy with no coastline, Umbria is often overlooked—but it’s full of medieval towns, green hills, and is well worth visiting. Here an overview of one of Italys most underrated regions 🧵

Reply to this post with a photo you took in Venice 🇮🇹

@rorysutherland If you gno, you gno.

Can we please devote a bit more AI resource into making things less shit, rather than demonstrating things that are amazing. I was dictating into Outlook and it interpreted the word "new" as "gnu". What possible model would assume an email about marketing had turned into a contemplation of the wildebeest?

@predict_addict See also “Information Value Theory.”RONALD A. HOWARD. August, 1966.

This paper is incredible. One of the best shortest papers of all times. If you're interested in proper scoring rules, forecasting, or information theory — and especially if you know who John McCarthy is — you need to read this.

@CharmOfCulture I found myself in a sketchy section of Naples once.

What was the worst place in Italy that you visited? 🇮🇹

@hugowiz I hope you have better luck than me. I have three lemon trees, and each year they produce a profusion of wonderful blossoms. But so far, I’ve only had three lemons fully develop. Oddly enough, they never turned yellow. They just stayed green, but they are not limes.

For the first time in around 10 years, since I have got this lemon 🍋 tree, it's flowering! I will probably have lemons, this year!

@hugowiz Are you still married? 🫣

Here's the Cappuccino I made for my wife

@ill_Scholar I got 10/10 correct rather quickly. I’m from the US.

How many did you get? Where are you from?

Can you pass the Test taken to be a History Teacher in the US? These are 10 Questions from the Praxis Test for Social Studies 6/10 to Pass 1. Which of the following Rivers did NOT play an important role in the development of the earliest Civilizations?

@hugowiz I was there the second week of December when the scaffolding and bridge were still up and the water drained. While it was amazing to get so close to the details of the fountain on the bridge, it’s nice to see all that removed and the water restored.

I left Milan at 6:00, and now, here I am in Rome, in front of the beautiful Fontana di Trevi An amazed Russian tourist shot the full size picture.

@erickoester @Apress Thank you! Both of my insomniac readers told it was helpful. 😝

@InciteDecisions @Apress Congrats on the publication! 🎉— Sounds like a must-read for anyone looking to level up their skills. 🙌✨

@LuminaAnalytica A blast from the past! Thanks for sharing that again.

🎁 An interesting holiday gift and a blast from the past! In 2015, @InciteDecisions 's take on precision and probability, derived from the Sony article, sparked intriguing discussions. #AnalyticaInsights #DataAccuracy #ProbabilisticAnalysis vist.ly/3mny6xz

@rorysutherland @YouTube I’d been WFH from 2000-2019 as a consultant, then I went back to a corp environment in 2019, which required in-office attendance. After a 3 hr daily commute and an annoying open office space, I was exhausted and stressed out daily. WFH saved me!

@mikeamark @AnnaCiaunica @MiTiBennett @SeanGWelsh @OSFramework Michael Levin also suggests that life is a kind of computation: “Bioelectric networks: the cognitive glue enabling evolutionary scaling from physiology to mind”

@AdamMGrant I attended a webinar by the authors hosted by The Society of Decision Professionals a few weeks ago. Their findings and subsequent guidance were very interesting.

The scientific method isn't only for scientists. It can help us all learn faster. Study of 759 startups: teaching scientific thinking boosts revenue. Founders become quicker to abandon bad ideas. A key to good judgment is treating plans as hypotheses and choices as experiments.
