Yeah just imagine what would have happened if the Titanic’s officers didn’t know where the icebergs were

Screenshot of Google AI overview which reads: “Consequential knowledge is information that has important, tangible results and affects decisions with meaningful outcomes in real-world situations, rather than being purely abstract or complex. It is the specific, pertinent knowledge needed to navigate situations effectively, often unarticulated or practical knowledge that isn't widely written down but is essential for taking the right action. For example, knowing the location of icebergs was consequential knowledge for the Titanic's officers, as it directly prevented disaster, even though they possessed other complex, less pertinent knowledge.”

Though there is a well-placed bit of levity around the midpoint

Screenshot of text: “Even Geoffrey Hinton, a Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist known as a ‘Godfather of AI’ - a technology that likely wouldn't exist in its current form without his contributions - recently conceded that his girlfriend had broken up with him using ChatGPT.”

I peeked her Twitter profile and she also recently posted bragging about her “Asian blonde” daughter. There’s a lot to unpack with this lady.

Screenshot from Twitter account @CindyXBi captioned “Asian blonde another month cuter” with a starry-eyed emoji. The post includes two pictures of a one-year-old baby girl, but I have cropped the post to avoid showing the baby’s face here

It’s probably good for the last century and a half of progress that social media didn’t exist in the 1800s, but I bet Victorians would’ve been great at posting. “Me explaining to my husband that #greenaesthetic is perfectly safe because the wallpaper manufacturers use a special, non-toxic arsenic”

Kinda losing my mind at this New York Times clickbait. “You wanna know what’s even worse for you than five drinks in a row? C’mere, I’ll tell you… “… “…TEN DRINKS IN A ROW.”

Screenshot from NYT app, showing an image of several hands holding up glasses of (presumably) alcohol under the headline “This Drinking Habit is More Dangerous than Bingeing—and it’s on the rise among middle-aged drinkers.”

Excerpt from NYT article:

We've long been warned about the risks of binge drinking, usually defined as having four or five drinks in a two-hour span. And now researchers are increasingly focused on a more dangerous pattern of alcohol use that they call high-intensity drinking: consuming eight or more drinks in a row for women and 10 or more drinks in a row for men.

High-intensity drinking is even riskier than binge drinking, and it's on the rise among certain segments of the population.

How does high-intensity drinking differ from binge drinking?

The definition of binge drinking stems from the work of Henry Wechsler, a social psychologist at Harvard University who in 1993 tracked alcohol use among college students across the country.
He found that young women who reported consuming at least four drinks in a night and men who consumed at least five experienced the most drinking-related problems.

But other researchers noticed that some of the worst consequences associated with binge drinking, such as blackouts and alcohol poisoning, tended to happen when people had much more than four or five drinks.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

How many of the 3110 signed and unsold books do you think he still has in his house Do you think there’s a pile of them on his bed where his wife used to sleep

Screenshot of Tweet from Glinner reading “ This is what I'm doing over the next two days. Signing 3500 books! #toughcrowd” Attached is a photo of many packages of books stacked floor to ceiling in a room

This post also applies to “is that long-haired tabby a Maine Coon?”

Screenshot of Tweet by @foundbysara: “ my rule of thumb for corvids: if it makes you go, "hm, is that a raven?" it is a crow. if it makes you go HOLY SHIT THAT'S THE BIGGEST BIRD I'VE EVER SEEN—*that* is a raven.”
