This is a real Monet, but @SHL0MS marked it as AI-generated and successfully baited art twitter into hysterics.
So anyways I made claudevsclaude.com so you can test if you're better than random at telling Claude 👨🎨 from Claude 🤖

i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting

It still feels insane that John Noble never even got an Emmy nomination for Fringe. Walter Bishop could go from heartbreaking to hilarious to deeply unsettling within the same scene and Noble made every version of him feel completely real.

Which TV performance deserved way more awards recognition?

I wouldn't be surprised if Google was at 1-2% active

Meta observation: DeepSeek is still king of the active-parameter ratio

These are the most inconsistent players in the playoffs, using +2 and -2 net points as delineation of good, average, and bad.
- Highlighted players are still alive
- Donovan Mitchell and De'Aaron Fox have been noticeably inconsistent
- the first OKC player is at #81.

A reminder of how underappreciated Zach Edey was pre-draft: a physical outlier in measurements and athletic testing, two-time National Player of the Year, a generational producer, now unsurprisingly a huge steal for Memphis. The public perception of his NBA outlook was way off.

@mightydudbolt I hate hate the prequels, and love love this scene
It's pure unadulterated pandering
His intention was pandering! That's exactly why it was played straight!
English
This gets accused of being pandering, but that's obviously not true, because the reality is that no other director--none--would have considered having a Yoda duel, having that duel be against a 6'5" opponent, and then playing that duel completely straight. They'd be afraid of the reaction and they wouldn't do it. The Yoda fights only exist because George Lucas is crazy.

Yoda drawing his lightsaber with the force was probably the coldest thing ever

@DBCJason Weighted by correlation means you might as well just do linear regression!

Shooting Score: a simple metric with only 3 inputs (3P%, FT%, 3Pr), weighted by how correlated each are to NBA 3P%
Here are the best shooters in the 2026 NBA Draft and a graph plotting Shooting Score against self-created 3 point scoring in an attempt to capture shooting dynamism
nba draft milos@RutgersMilos
Which single college shooting statistic is MOST indicative of NBA shooting success? Going back to 2009 for over 1300 NCAA prospects who played a single game in the NBA, 3FG% seems to be one of the LEAST predictive numbers from NCAA -> NBA 😮

The Wolves are getting just 0.85 points per direct touch from Randle these playoffs. That's the second-worst mark in the Tracking Era for a player with 300+ direct touches in a single playoff run

I think what you see here is basically why Boozer was a better defender on the court this year than Wilson. Boozer's efficiency of movement is much better and Wilson's way stiffer laterally than people seem to want to talk about due to how explosive he is in straight lines.

Cam Boozer has a faster pro lane agility time than Caleb Wilson

@Sam_Vecenie It's really close and he just slows down near the end

@dlee4three Other positive things occur on touches though, so % a bit misleading
English
Donovan Mitchell has generated an assist on just 4.5% of his touches, making him the least productive playmaker among high volume drivers in the playoffs
His monopolization of the rock and extreme scoring tilt relative to his touches will cap Cleveland yet again in the playoffs
