Trying to be the first to say that Brody's speech needed an intermission - and got one! It's still not over as I post this....
Opposite of what I wrote last week at teapawt.net/KennethRegan15/status/… : Bills lost 3 points on 2-pt conversions made and not made, and that was the margin.
Sean McDermott added at least +8 points value by my reckoning: +3 for leaving no time at end of the first half, +3 for last Bass FG, +2 for XPs that BAL did not attempt. Not to mention the D coming up both big and gritty.

1/ I've replied to you all about DJT's inappropriate language against Liz Cheney (could add about shooting reporters today). But the 20+ minutes of equivocation in the recent "Truth Over Tribe" podcast guides me to tell the Golem story.
5/ like all this was called out in religious contexts already by Shakespeare. One more for O.S.: That institutional racism persists is clear to any data scientist---my CS profession has a whole subfield of Algorithmic Fairness in which this is a major point. "Woke" means aware-
WaPo weirdly cuts the word "exit" in half --- I wonder who this mysterious Biden ex is?

My reaction to the proposal by Jeff Sonas to revamp the rating system rjlipton.wpcomstaging.com/..… It is not only largely in support (especially after a test run just today using the T3 metric) but goes further.
I have updated a GLL blog post from February 2019 to reflect initial broad agreement with a proposal</a> by Jeff Sonas on ratings of players below 2000. See bottom of my 2019 article for the update. rjlipton.wpcomstaging.com/20…
IPRs for the 14 regulation games (error bars presume engines 0.75 correlated with each other and do not distinguish each player's distribution):
Ding 2670 +- 160
Nepo 2660 +- 165
Both 2665 +- 115
Intrinsic Performance Ratings after game 10 of the World Ch. Match (95% conf. error bars):
Ding Liren: 2700 +- 110
Ian Nepomniachtchi: 2710 +- 100
Both players combined: 2705 +- 75
They were over 2800 after 4 games but near 2650 after 8. Positions 5% more difficult than average.
