It turns out a "scaramucci" *is* a divisible unit of measurement.

Breaking News: President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired after less than a week on the job, according to people familiar with the matter. nyti.ms/4yuECpZ
With the @Dodgers now eliminated, we're about to see something new.
Last World Series win:
@CleGuardians: 1948
@Brewers: Never
@RaysBaseball: Never

The Rays are blasting “New York, New York” in the Bronx after sweeping.
An annual humiliation ritual for Yankee fans
Yikes.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

The last point here @usedgov is the strongest:
"transparency about programs that will never pay off."
A market works best when the availability of funding reflects the value of what's being bought. For years, the government has done the opposite, treating all degrees and all colleges as if they have the same underlying value for consumers.
They obviously don't, leaving many shackles in debt with little hope of repayment.
Giving students better information about career paths will lead to better choices. Tying federal funding to outcomes makes that information matter.
And it's far better than the alternative: a taxpayer-funded bailout for low-value degrees.
This is fake news at its finest.
First off, we’re not ‘banning’ any program. The federal government doesn’t set curriculum or programs.
Here’s the truth: we are holding colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled. Too many graduates report delaying major life milestones like buying a home or starting a family. Why? Because low return-on-investment programs saddled them with unmanageable debt that was never going to translate into a real-world job.
Federal student loans are not a welfare program for failing college programs. American students deserve education and training pathways that prepare them for the workforce – and transparency about programs that will never pay off.
If anything, as @emmma_camp_ points out, the issue is that this new policy doesn’t go far enough:
I got more done this morning on a holiday weekend than my teams would get done in a week in the past. (And I have worked with some great people.)
Ruthless efficiency and productivity. It may be the only plus to being over 40, but I’ll take it.
“Never” finally arrived.
Years since last championship:
@nyknicks: 0 🎉🍾
@NYRangers: 32
@Mets: 40
@GeorgetownHoyas: 42
@nyjets: 57
It’s never going to happen.
Years since last championship:
@NYRangers: 31
@Mets: 39
@GeorgetownHoyas: 41
@nyknicks: 52
@nyjets: 56
The last time the @nyknicks (or any of my teams) were this close...they were *this close.*
And then never again.
Since that game:
'94: Knicks lost in 7
'99: Knicks lost in 5
'00: Mets lost in 5
'14: Rangers lost in 5
'15: Mets lost in 5
I've waited *32 years* for one of my teams to get back to this point.
Let's change the ending tonight. 🙏 #AlwaysKnicks
It’s hard to truly appreciate what a series win would mean for long-suffering @nyknicks fans, but @stephenasmith is our best spokesman.
48 minutes more minutes. 🙏
No matter what happens for the rest of the series, we @nyknicks fans will never have a better tee-up. Never ever. Up to this point, it is as good as it could possibly ever be.
It is more that that: this is as good as it ever will be.
They must close this out.
