I’m going viral in Brazil right now...
Apparently “talarico” is Brazilian slang for “wife-stealer.” 😂
Olá, Brazil! 🇧🇷 I’m just making good public policy here in Texas — I promise I won’t steal your girl.

For anyone who wants to keep track, James Talarico indeed looks like he's about to win Texas by nearly 8 points against Ken Paxton. Hinojosa probably wins by ~4.
Our forecast on TX-SEN was LIKELY DEMOCRATIC — one of the only models to say it — and even we undershot him.

You can build a model, give it every living piece of numerical information you can find (partisanship, spending, outside money, raw polling microdata, etc) and backtest the hell out of it, and it gives you...this.
So! We'll see what happens! But this is what the numbers say.

i am lowkey obsessed with how supportive the youtube chat is for the Steve Kornacki cam livestream. Steve will be like "ok guys im stepping off camera to drink some water and blow my nose" and people will be like "go hydrate king" and "omg its tissue time"
This is what happens to the brain after decades of cranking it to baseball.

One, you're assuming the Senate still has 100 seats going forward, which may not be the case if Democrats get their way. Two, my point is that a lot of other irrevocable damage can be done to the Senate & the constitutional system before then.

I love that scene in Good Will Hunting where Ben Affleck is talking to Matt Damon's titular character Will Hunting and he's like “you've got a gift man and you've gotta get outta this town and make something of yourself” and the gift in question is being really good at math and the town he needs to get out of is Boston, Massachusetts.

Haley Stevens bravely sacrificed her career and good name to give the Democrats a rallying and unifying point just 48 hours before the midterms. We should salute her service.

The idea that computing power should be a public commons isn’t insane. But of course the unspoken implication of Altman’s comment is that it shouldn’t be public, but a walled garden controlled by private companies like OpenAI.
Sam Altman says its bad that everyone's personal computers are using the world's limited supply of memory chips.
"It’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAMs sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time. Like, you want maximum utilization."
