@haralabob if you said league would hand luka to lakers and flagg to mavs i would lol no way they would be that corrupt. welp...

The Process was ~10 years ago, and only now are they coming to the conclusion that tanking is existential to the product. It’s comical, but predictable. One look at the NBA league office and team ownership tells you the sport itself is not the priority. They are too busy squeezing every dollar out of gambling partnerships and forcing fans to juggle multiple subscriptions just to watch games. The game, the competition, the integrity all come second. They would rather chase the latest cultural flashpoint than protect the on-court product.

In trying to fix the tanking problem, the NBA is going to run headfirst into the reality of unintended consequences. None of these people are equipped to come up with a good solution.

@davepl1968 @mehdirhasan do better

@mehdirhasan While countries like Mauritius, which has a strong educational system, show regular IQs, Somalia has an average IQ of 68. That's devastatingly low. It says NOTHING about any individual from there, but something's not right there....

This is the proud language of a white supremacist. There’s no other way to describe it and no defense of it. Pure racism.

@DannyLimanseta wow!

Just tried vibecoding with ThreeJS again (after more than 6 months) and I have to say that the models have gotten much better at coding with ThreeJS and creating 3D models from scratch.

@davepl1968 Winforms designer in visual studio?

There are now only two acceptable ways to build a user interface on Windows. You can do it like the old Task Manager: You can call GetMessageW() in your message loop and handle every WIN32 message properly. This is the way for important things that must be performant. Or, you can vibe-code your HTML/CSS and treat it like a black box, hope it works most of the time, etc. This is the way for large, complex interfaces. I don't see any application that requires anything beyond these two approaches. The days of hand-coding interfaces in Electron are over.

@CarmichaelDave they had 3 game lead in least wins 😡

Kings win. At this point they’re all but locked into the 4 spot. 12.5% chance at #1 48.1% chance at Top 4 Can fall as low as #8

@robertjdenault lmao they knew who was getting voted off each week. you are better off going radio silent.

On Aliens, Survivor, and The Bachelorette (so far). TL;DR: Just because someone has a large position in a market or traders follow rumors online does not mean they’re insider trading. Aliens, Survivor, and Bachelorette markets - we’re investigating all of them, and so far, we have not found compelling evidence of insider trading or market manipulation. However, these markets are not closed, and our monitoring and analysis continues. Aliens A few weeks ago The Atlantic posted an article titled "This Looks Like an Insider Bet on Aliens." The story focused on trades by a user who is wagering that by the end of the year, the U.S. government will confirm aliens exist. According to The Atlantic, due to the size of the trades it might be someone with "insider knowledge." But we investigated this position, including document requests and an interview with the trader. (He gave us permission to make this post). There is no evidence the trader has insider information. He's tired of trading stocks; he doesn't feel they are accurately priced. While looking for markets he felt he had an edge on, he found Kalshi's alien market. He developed a researched thesis for why the U.S. government might be on the verge of confirming alien existence (including recent document releases, new comments by President Obama, President Trump's response to those comments, etc.) and felt the position was underpriced. He doesn’t know whether the government will confirm anything or not, but based on public information and research, he considers his position a good one. Survivor and The Bachelorette Pre-taped shows mean that people have knowledge of what happens before the show airs - including contestants and production staff. But they typically sign legal documents preventing them from telling people - otherwise, shows would constantly be spoiled for everybody. Using that information for profit is not allowed. This week there was a New York Times article titled “People Are Making Money Betting on Pretaped ‘Survivor’ Episodes” that suggested insider trading is happening with our Survivor markets. We’ve investigated and, so far, have not found definitive evidence of that. We’ve been checking backgrounds of traders in this market and have not identified anyone with any connection to Survivor. After reviewing the trading activity, it appears the likeliest explanation is that traders are following public rumors, following other traders who placed trades in the opening hours of the market, or just trading based on research and conviction. Same scenario for The Bachelorette, and same conclusion thus far. It seems that Reality Steve’s site posts spoilers that tend to be right. People can look at those predictions, then place trades on prediction markets. That’s not insider trading. Still, we are continuing to monitor these markets and analyze trading patterns, and we will take action if we find anything anomalous.

@AIandDesign a tricky thing is we create into an over saturated market. people have backlogs of unplayed AA or AAA games they already paid for. 😅 only so many free minutes in the day.

3. I can make amazing things. I cannot sell them to save my life.

@ScottPerryGM we had a 3 game lead in least wins! smh

It's not always easy to do the right thing, especially when those around you are not.  Taking the path of least resistance is sometimes the simplest thing to do. Dare to be different and stand firm on your convictions. Don’t allow others to convince you to compromise your values in which you know in your heart is the proper course of action. It may not always be the easiest course, but in the long run, it is always the most rewarding while bringing you more peace of mind!#MondayMotivation

What are your favorite accounts with over 1M followers that truly add VALUE to your feed? I’ll wait.

@GrilliotTodd keep eyes and ears open for an offer from @demishassabis @bcherny @sama they need this for their vibe gamers

The last 24 hours have been an incredible rush. The GPUs are going brrrr On thursday i had 230 followers, my top performing post in the past month had about 6 likes. In about 24 hours, i got 400+ more followers, launched several api deals, and in one day got more new users than the entire week before that. This has been disorienting and overwhelming in the best way. I'm just so glad that nothing broke haha Thank you to all the accounts that reposted and gave me support! I love that I actually get to do this everyday. I'm so excited to be building pixel engine with you all!

@SnazzyLabs 🤔

The Tesla Model Y is a fantastic car. Its biggest issue is that its refresh is ugly and makes it look like a generic Chinese car.

@o_a_khan we had a 3 game lead in fewest wins! idiots 😡

Kings being at the absolute bottom of the NBA is not about Peterson/Dybantsa/Boozer. Being bottom 3 is enough, you have the same odds for a top 4 pick. Its about how far it is possible to fall due to luck. Wins now could be the difference between picking 7th and picking 5th.

@BobbyGerould i've learned my lesson that tanking is not worth it. completely wasted season. 👎 but for this season, already this far in, need to complete the job. they had 3 game lead in least wins now they can fall to 6th in draft. idiotic.

That Kings game tonight was fun. I believe in playing to win and letting the universal basketball god sort it out. Do your homework on the Draft and don’t eff it up.

⭐️NBA 3/10 PLAY OF THE DAY⭐️ Bam Adebayo u 35.5 pr 🔥 - Bam Adebayo is only averaging 28.8 pr per game, giving us crazy value!! He flew under last visit w the wizards, and a spread of 15.5 gives us more value w blowout potential 10❤️ and we’ll drop play #2 as we try to go back to back sweeps!🧹

@GergelyOrosz one angle i can think of is that i keep underestimating what i can create and how quickly. maybe not having baggage of 30 years manual coding lets a person aim higher.

Saying not knowing how to code gives you an advantage in building software (thanks to AI) is like saying not knowing anything about filmmaking gives you an advantage in making films (thanks to having a smartphone + apps to edit stuff) Ignore this stuff and keep learning+building

@Scobleizer @F1 same feed f1tv has had previous years. but yes, the espn broadcast was bad.

My friend and I are watching @F1 on Apple TV, which is showing its first race tonight. The quality is a stunning upgrade over last year. Better video. Better audio. Way better.

@Shpigford @joshu newer models leave high beams on all the time but dynamically turn off pixel by pixel to not blind oncoming cars. teslarati.com/tesla-upgrade-…

@joshu there was a software update maybe 6 months ago that basically totally broke the auto high beams. they automatically turn on (correctly) but then absolutely never turn off. it's maddening.

The number of Teslas with their brights fully on when I am out walking the dogs at night makes me really really hate both the cars and the drivers.

@survivorcbs @CBS shame that epic season was spoiled by kalshi. you may need to have same-week broadcasts to beat the prediction markets.
