I could say more but since they are close friends, I don't want to cause any problems between them. Regardless, probably pretty few people here knew his dad was a coach at Leander. And I found it interesting that he was an average athlete at a suburban white school.

Kind of interesting - I spoke with a high school and current friend of Gideon. He said there were "a lot" of better athletes on the Leander team. But, he worked his ass off and studied a lot of film because his dad was the coach. He knew what other teams were going to do and got the defense lined up correctly. So, basically it was true that he was a coach on the field. As for the move, the guy basically said that it was just the right opportunity (money and upward mobility).- U.S.S.

Rock Star’s Jet in Fatal Runway Accident at Local Airport February 11, 2025 by David Jones A fatal collision occurred at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona on Monday afternoon, involving a private jet owned by Vince Neil, the lead singer of Mötley Crüe. The incident occurred when a Learjet 35A, registered to Neil’s company Chromed in Hollywood, veered off the runway after landing and collided with a parked Gulfstream 200. The Learjet had flown in from Austin with four passengers on board, while the Gulfstream had one occupant. The fatal accident resulted in at least one death. However, Neil was not present on the jet at the time of the collision. Among the passengers on the Learjet were Neil’s girlfriend, Rain Andreani, and her friend. Both women survived the crash and were taken to the hospital for treatment. Andreani reportedly suffered five broken ribs. The dogs accompanying the women on the flight also survived the accident. Two pilots were also on board the Learjet at the time of the crash. One of the pilots tragically lost his life in the collision, as confirmed by Bret Michaels, Neil’s friend and the lead singer of the band Poison. The private jet charter company Jet Pros, which owns the Gulfstream, reported no injuries on their aircraft. One person at the scene declined medical attention, according to Scottsdale officials. Eyewitness footage shared on social media showed the Learjet struggling to halt on the runway before skidding into the parked Gulfstream. The impact was so severe that it pushed the stationary aircraft several yards before both planes finally came to a rest. Images from the scene showed one of the jets without landing gear, surrounded by emergency vehicles and personnel. Scottsdale officials stated that the left main landing gear on the Learjet appeared to fail upon touchdown, leading to the collision. This incident adds to a recent series of airport accidents and air incidents that have heightened anxiety among travelers nationwide. Just last month, a collision between a US Army helicopter and an American Airlines jet at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC, resulted in 67 fatalities. Two days later, a jet crash in a busy Philadelphia street killed all six people on board and one person on the ground.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

What would rap sound like as an instrumental?- Nobel prize for physics not physics
A Nobel prize in physics for something that is not physics tritonstationOctober 9, 2024 When I wrote about Nobel prizes a little while back, I did not expect to return to the subject. I assumed the prize this year would be awarded for some meritorious advance in laboratory physics, like last year’s prize “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.” Instead, we find that the 2024 prize has been awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” This is the Nobel prize in physics we’re talking about. One small issue: that’s not physics. I’ve been concerned for a long time with the interface between astronomy and physics – where they are distinct fields and where they overlap. One of the reasons I left physics as a grad student was because the string theorists were taking over. They were talking about phenomena that were tens of orders of magnitude beyond any conceivable experimental test. That sort of theoretical speculation is often fun, sometimes important, and very rarely relevant to physical reality. Lacking exposure to experimental tests or observational consequences, to my mind it was just that: speculation, not physics. Nearly forty years on, my concerns about string theory have not been misplaced. And while, in the strictest sense, I don’t think it qualifies as physics – it’s more of a physics-adjacent branch of mathematics – it is at least attempting to be physical theory. But machine learning is not physics. It’s computer science. Computers are a useful tool, to be sure. But programming them is no more physics than teaching a horse to count. I’m not sure we should even consider machine learning to be meritorious. It can be useful, but it is also a gateway drug to artificial intelligence (AI). I remember the more earnest proponents of early AI propounding on the virtues of LISP and how it would bring us AI – in the 1980s. All it brought us then was dystopian fantasies about killer robotsnuking the world. Despite the current hype, we have not now developed intelligent machines – what we’re calling AI is certainly artificial but not at all intelligent. It uses machine “learning” to reprocess existing information into repackaged forms. There is zero original thought, nothing resembling intelligence. Modern AI is, in essence, a bullshit generator. Now, we can all think of people who qualify as organic bullshit generators, but that begs the question: Why is the Nobel prize in physics being awarded for something that is clearly not physics? Maybe it has something to do with the hype around AI. I don’t know what the decision process was, but I do know that I am not the only scientist to have this reaction. Myself, I’m not mad, just disappointed. I’m not unique in feeling that physics has lost its way. This just emphasizes how far it has strayed. Apparently the Nobel committee is sensing the blow-back, as this poll currently appears on the award page: I… don’t think this helps their case. Did you know that molecules are made of atoms? Ergo all of chemistry is just applied atomic physics. I mean, it is a long-standing trope that physicists think every other science is just a lesser, applied form of physics. At the level of being based on the equations of physics, that’s almost kinda if not really true. So asserting that machine learning models are based on physics equations comes nowhere near to making machine learning into physics. It’s fancy programming, not physics. Well, there will be complaints about this one for a while, so I won’t pile on more. I guess if you give out 118 prizes since 1901, one of them has to rank 118th.- Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?

Is that really controversial?- Rodney Terry has been fired
But your point is messed up. Within 4hrs. Bloomington has more talent than just about anywhere in the country. The problem however is Bloomington has a population of 80,000 and urban kids from St. Louis, Louisville, Chicago, Indianapolis and Milwaukee generally aren't into that.- Rodney Terry has been fired
Correct. Milwaukee, WI is also very close (1hr) and has a lot of talent. Detroit is 4hrs. Indianapolis is 3hrs. St. Louis is 4 hrs.- Rodney Terry has been fired
