@ToddZolecki The only two players in the lineup with batting averages above 250 are Marsh and Harper. Stott is getting close. Many are at or below 225 (Turner, JT, Bohm, Garcia).

@JosephBrooksPA @ToddZolecki Out of everything in this thread, this was the one line that made me laugh the most.

@TheDadInNJ @AiWithIqra Do you use a credit card? Do you subscribe to any magazines? Have you ever donated to a charity or political campaign?

@CaseyAndersonPB @AiWithIqra Its not hacked. Its how much information they accrue about you. I am more concerned about this than most. Thats why you dont see a profile picture here on X. Thats why i use firefox in strict mode, flushing cookies regularly. I do not use Siri or Alexa. I opt out of everything :)
English

@TheDadInNJ @AiWithIqra And as for privacy, the risks of giving my personal information to Claude or ChatGPT don’t seem much different than the risks of giving it to banks or credit card companies - which routinely get hacked

@CaseyAndersonPB @AiWithIqra I do not think the advice it gives serves someone elses interest. I simply would not want to provide the likes of google/openai/anthropic/microsoft that much information about me. AI is just confidently wrong enough of the time that you would just immediately trust it.
English

@TheDadInNJ @AiWithIqra The assumption that AI models are more likely to give you bad advice (or to steer you to investments that serve someone else’s financial interests) is increasingly unwarranted
English

@CaseyAndersonPB @AiWithIqra Often people find an advisor based on a recommendation.
English

@TheDadInNJ @AiWithIqra What you’re missing is that you also need skill - and judgment - to evaluate whether your human financial advisor’s recommendations.
English

@CaseyAndersonPB @AiWithIqra Like I said, you need the skill to evaluate the recommendations.
English

@TheDadInNJ @AiWithIqra I would trust AI to provide this kind of advice more than I would trust a human financial advisor - especially because AI will give you the tools to check its work in Excel

@SleeperPhillies We should have covertly smuggled Suarez out of Boston earlier this week, and have him wear Nolas jersey ;)

@PrometheanActn @sjkokinda You know, i am not sure its such a great idea to "get along" with a society/government that
1) has almost as many security cameras as people,
2) gates access to services based on your social score
3) worships tbe dear leader like a diety
communism sucks.

The "Thucydides Trap" isn't history. It's a British propaganda product cooked up by a Kissinger student to lock the US and China into permanent conflict.

@canonlawyered I’d bet $20 those are yesterday’s leftover hot dogs reimagined into a special with a premium price

@PhilsTailgate and this is why they should not put the yankees, redsox, phillies, mets in the same division. March/April/early May weather sucks in the northeast and none of them have domed stadiums.

@dunkindonuts First you increased the number of points to redeem a reward. Now Mobile Monday is 50 points instead of 100 and the 50 point offer does not appear in my app, but it did in my wifes. I guess i shop there too much. Something I might have to change.

@wakeupnj A desert is not defined by sand. Specifically a climate is classified as a desert if the area receives less than 10 inches of liquid equivalent in a year. Surprisingly Antartica is a desert, but the Pinelands are definitely not.

@Demin_Thinaxr @WhiteHouse Out of curiosity did you complain about inflation during the Biden presidency?
English

@WhiteHouse Stop treating the public like they’re stupid. You stopped taking pennies from one pocket in the name of tax, only to snatch the entire wallet from the other through inflation. What’s the point of a 0% tax rate when purchasing power is already dead.

“I don’t think we are playing up to our capabilities. I felt at this time we needed a new voice, a new feeling, a different direction. Rob doesn’t know why” the team is performing this way”
-Dave Dombrowski on firing Rob Thomson after 9-19 start
Dave says Rob was offered a job to stay as an advisor
Dave says they offered the job to Alex Cora and they spoke over the weekend.
