it can't tell if the output is true because *it has no concept of truth*. The only thing it "knows" is "this output is correlated"

It is structurally indifferent to truth

If you don't burn the roof off your mouth, did you even eat pizza?

Yeah, everything's fine.

I guess it's good that this was actually an old record and not "broke a record that has now been broken annually for the past 5 years," which seems to often be the case.

And to be clear, I don't think we should re-sign him. Just saying that's the only way to redeem this pack of a move, at this point.

If #predsnhl don't re-sign Haula, then letting him go for nothing in a "selling" year is going to be Ryan Suter all over again. That was a horrible stain on Poile's legacy. This won't get l be quite as bad, but it is close. Esp after Haula's Olympic performance, we couldn't get even a 5th rounder?

I'm pretty happy with the returns on #predsnhl trades so far. Wish we could've gotten more for Blankenburg, but it's probably about right. And we got an especially good deal for McCarron. Not looking forward to salary retention on any of the big names though. Sell, sell, sell!

First, I'm alphabetizing that mess. The fact that it's like 80% alpha but not completely just hurts my brain.

Second, lamenting that somehow several bands have multiples (1 even has 3, another has 5!) but there's no Clash or U2, two kings of the cassette era.

Then probably go for The Monkees.

B. But either is ok as long as it's clear. If you do it automatically, give it a countdown

PWHL 101 with Professor Puck! | Episode 1: The PWHL YouTube video by The PWHL

I was just checking out the PWHL live game feed on YouTube (during #predsnhl intermission) and was thinking "coming out of the Olympics, someone should have an 'intro to the PWHL' video for people." Then I saw this video, that had been posted 3 hrs earlier

There are 16k people watching tonight's PWHL game on YouTube, and a chat poll just indicated 54% are tuning in for the first time. Feels like that might be something.

Reminder that I've got a feed going so #NashvillePredators fans can chat during games. Just reply to the post below to be added to the feed, and then post by using the #PredsNHL tag. Unfortunately the feed updates a bit slowly at times, but it's a fun way to follow the game when it's working well. 🦞

Glad to be back watching #predsnhl. It's almost like Forsberg came out extra motivated after the Olympics. Can't imagine why...

Marketers for Regenerative Tourism β€” Conscious Marketing Movement

Seems like there could be some things to learn for a city like Nashville. "Tourism can strengthen places, not only consume them." sounds pretty great to me.

Just men's hockey. Women's is the good alt-universe version.

So disappointed. Team USA officials never should have let him anywhere near the team at this point.

And of course it was a Tkachuk who put a medal on him.

This is exactly why I couldn't really cheer for this team with a full voice, and now why I'm not really celebrating the win like I'd like to.
