I really like Ryan Day. I feel awful for him. One thing you’ll note about all 5 of these candidates is they are all from OHIO. All nice enough guys, but hey foreigners, IT IS NOT A GAME. IT IS OUR LIVES!!!! Wish List Of Replacements (If Needed): #1. It’s like that villain in Harry Potter or whatever, Voldemort? Michigan people can’t even say the name Urban Meyer without shuttering....

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. This episode includes the best Barstool Sports Black Friday promotion of the year. It also includes Boob GIFs. It’s a big moment for you. It’s a bigger moment for your fiancee. Personally, I know I’ll be fine. I know how to smile and be nice in a social setting. It’s really not that hard to make a family like you. Just don’t be a fucking asshole and you’re good....

Surviving Barstool kicks off tonight. It’s presented by Factor, and hosted by Jeff Lowe. Those are pretty big words when you consider some of the stuff that’s come out of this place. New episodes drop every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights and here’s the full schedule. They actually did a pretty incredible job of keeping this thing tight-lipped. Both while they were filming it a couple weeks ago, and since....

For a lot of reasons. –But mostly I’m thankful for personal reasons. It’s as if I willed it into existence. I had a deep philosophical discussion with my brother for over and hour on this subject. And ask they keep the suffering coming for six more weeks (shudder). –It’s astonishing that an offense can be so thoroughly inept in the modern NFL. But inconceivable that it could look as bad as it did given they hadtwo weeksto prepare....

Finnish startup Varjo has unveiled a new XR headset range that promises mixed reality thats indistinguishable from natural sight. Named the XR-4 series, the devices merge several features that mimic the function of the human eye. They include high-resolution displays, advanced LiDAR depth sensors, foveated capture streams, and camera sensors. Varjo (pronounced var-yo) is squarely targeting the tech at enterprise customers. Their applications range from pilot training and warfare simulations to architectural design and behavioural research....

I mean, since 11/18 the Celts own the 26th ranked offense in the entire NBA. The only worse offenses have been POR, UTA, SA, and MEM. Call me crazy, but that is not exactly a group you want to be lumped together with. To me, there are a few ways to look at this. That’s pretty self-explanatory. The other way of course is to be encouraged. Why would anyone be encouraged?...

But once a ship is cruising, the foils reduce the overall effort needed to push the boat forward. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Two companies, Wavefoil from Norway and Liquid Robotics from the US, have shown the most promise. While Wavefoil is tackling bigger ships like ferries, Liquid Robotics has developed an autonomous surface vehicle called Waveglider. The company was acquired by Boeing in 2016 and is currently valued at around $200mn, according toDealroomdata....

The Boston Celtics have an Orlando Magic problem. They’ve won on their floor and at the Garden (twice). How do I know this? The truth is, until we see evidence of the contrary, the Orlando Magic are a bad matchup. Let’s also not try and make it seem like these are the Magic of old. At 11-5, winnners of 6 straight and 2nd in the East, they’ve already taken down MIL/DEN/BOS....

During the rehearsal, the rocket engine was ignited while securely mounted to a test stand or test platform. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Ariane 6 was first scheduled to launch four years ago. The rockets previous hot-fire test, in June, ended in failure. It has been attracting commercial contracts, including 18 launches for Amazons Kuiper broadband megaconstellation project. The next test, of the upper stage, is set to take place this December....

Ed Newton-Rex had reached a breaking point. But there was growing unease about the movements strategy. Stability was becoming an emerging powerhouse in generativeAI. The London-basedstartupowns Stable Diffusion, one of the worlds most popular image generators. But these two systems were taking conflicting paths. Stable Audio was trained on licensed music. The model was fed a dataset of over 800,000 files from the stock music library AudioSparx. Any copyrighted materials had been provided with permission....

That gave me instant popularity and, with that, newly discovered confidence. I broke out from behind the silence and began establishing meaningful friendships. I had grown so much as a person in Connecticut, and I wasn’t ready to surrender it. I returned to Massachusetts a changed person, and most of my old friends had changed too. I continued eating healthy and working out in an effort to be the best athlete I could be....
