@TheSocialWar1 @Rainmaker1973 the true answer

@Rainmaker1973 4. The top 2 rows are not part of it--no plus signs connecting them. So the only equation is the bottom one, which is just 2+2 = 4.

A nice brain teaser for you

@Rainmaker1973 Eagle nest cams are the best. Luckily now they are here in the Netherlands too, and there's a cam project each year. Amazing birds.

Change of the guard.

@RealGeneKim @enigma2a Man this talk is just great. I was hooked from the start.

I had so much fun watching Christoph Neumann's (@enigma2a) Clojure/conj talk on his work enabling live sports and e-sports programming. I haven't watched e-sports much, but I did watch the documentary of Google DeepMind’s AlphaStar, where it played some of the best StarCraft II players in the world. The event was so brilliantly done, and was hosted by professional commentators, who helped explain and give context to what we were observing. It was so good that I made my kids watch it, and I’m not ashamed to say that it actually made me cry! (As did watching the documentary on Google DeepMind AlphaGo — holy cow. Move 37 FTW!) (I'll include the links to those videos at the bottom of this tweet.) Christoph gave an amazing talk on how the code he wrote enables these types of live e-sports broadcasts of some amazing gaming brands: - Heroes of the Storm (including the draft tool to facilitate team hero selection in real-time, as well as enabling the commentators to do their job, too) - Hearthstone (including tools to analyze and display the game state live on-air) - Overwatch (including integrating live game statistics for the Overwatch League) He also describes some of the work he did to help brands such as Blizzard Entertainment (home of StarCraft II, which was obviously the game that AlphaStar competed in), NFL, Overwatch League, Heroes of the Storm, Activision, Call of Duty League, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, NEP, Twitch, Wimbledon Championships. One reason I was nerding out so much during Christoph’s talk was because he had hinted at so many of these things in his awesome Functional Design in Clojure podcast (@clojuredesign), but never really elaborated on what he actually did. I’ve listened to every one of their 100+ episodes that he did with Nate Jones, @ndj, and always hoped they would go into more detail about what they’ve done in e-sports. Wish granted! It’s such a cool talk. Among other things, he talks about the high stakes involved in live events — mistakes are seen by everyone, and could actually jeapordize events where hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people are watching! Christoph: "You have hours of boredom followed by seconds of terror." Ha! Everything he's built is done in Clojure, whether it's a event in front of an audience, broadcast over the airwaves, or streamed to a channel. "My hope is that by the end of this talk, you're going to have an idea of what's involved in pulling off a live sports production, and then how to build a system using it." Yes!!! 1/n Source: youtube.com/watch?v=kIhY4V… Also: the amazing video of StarCraft II AlphaStar live broadcast: youtube.com/watch?v=cUTMhm…

@RealGeneKim very cool! I too experience good proficiency in clojure from LLM's <3 Out of curiousity: do you have an LLM integrated in your editor? I'm kind of looking for more ergonomics in connecting my (spac)emacs editor to an LLM.

Lesson: copy the relevant code into the LLM (in this case, it was from a library), and pass in your inputs, and explain your problem —  In my case, it was, "why is it choosing X, instead of Y?"

LLMs are so helpful for debugging! I was trying to figure out why my code to manually create a database checkpoint (@xtdb_com, in case you're wondering [hello, @refset and team!]) wasn't working. And I found the Claude 3.5 to be so incredibly helpful for debugging (inside of @SourcegraphCody) — do you see the error? (Explanation follows...)

Unbelievable!!!🏆 What a roller coaster… SIMPLY LOVELY 🙌 Thank you everyone @redbullracing 💪

That was an absolute @Max33Verstappen masterclass…. 17th to first and then winning by 19 seconds on a day when everyone else struggled to overtake or stay on track. Reminded me of Senna at Donington 1993 walking on water 👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷🏁🏎️ #BrazilianGP #F1

@MattP1Gallagher btw, this is a good'un innit?

@pieterderks Waar ik niets lelijks mee wil zeggen, want ik smul er nu al van! Succes!

@pieterderks Zo'n oudejaars try-out is toch een beetje als pepernoten. Half september al in de supermarkt.

When a guitar string is plucked, each of the vibration patterns observed (with the help of the rolling shutter effect) is called a mode.

@mrdemmendaal Liam is goed laatste paar jaar. Komt goed. HEB VERTROUWEN! :-D

No thanks. Ik hou van #Oasis tot mijn laatste adem, maar dit kan alleen maar tegenvallen.

@MunichLegends I loved it from the start. Sorry not sorry!

Honest answer - have you grown to love the front end of the G80 M3?

Let's fucking go!

OASIS. jawel!
