Philip Rivers is the headline, but the staff around him will determine whether this works. Here’s my blueprint for an NC State front office, coaching staff, and player budget built to win in the ACC. Which hire would you make first? 🐺🏈
Will Wilson is on the injured list which is why we didn't see him last week. Too bad he may come one shy of breaking the rushing TD season record! Glad to see Keenan is improving and might get to play and that Kanoah is no longer on the updated list! We have a kicker! :)
Updated injury report for N.C. State vs. Syracuse less than 48 hours away from kickoff.
NC State leading receiver Keenan Jackson is now listed as probable after being questionable yesterday. He was left off the depth chart entirely on Monday.

What he said! Step up WPN! Now is our moment, don’t let it pass without giving our full support in every way we can!
He has the pride, passion, dedication & work ethic that allowed him to beat the odds time & again in HS, college & the NFL. Now he needs the support Wolfpack nation to provide the financial means to build his team in era where NIL funding is crucial. Gotta get em & keep em there!

Looks sharp for senior day! I just hope Kanoah is able to suit up and handle kicking duties for his final game at Carter-Finley!

That smile said it all and we will get to hear from him in a couple of days I’m sure.
Asked NC State Chancellor Kevin Howell why Philip Rivers is the right choice to lead his football program. Howell didn't answer, but flashed a huge smile. Can't talk until after board votes. Full board to vote on Rivers contract Friday. wral.com/sports/philip-river…

Yup! Smart that she knows how to use the technology, but another reason we are so cooked. The machines won’t have much resistance after we stop learning how to think for ourselves.
My niece was doing her homework today, and I noticed she was using ChatGPT to answer almost every question.
I asked her, “But do you actually understand what you’re writing?”
She said, “Why do I need to? ChatGPT already knows.”
That answer genuinely worried me.
We’re raising a generation that knows how to find answers but might never learn how to think through problems.

Yes, we do. It would also be wise for states to consider adopting similar models for selecting leaders and allocating electoral votes since otherwise a growing number of states are being governed according to very small populated areas that do not represent the will of the entire state population. This change would decimate democrats though since this is how they win anything.
The electoral college is, without question, an inseparable friend to those who believe that every American across our vast country deserves to be heard.
We must fight to defend it from the far Left.

If these metrics hold up in the real world, Google crushes Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Terra to set the bar for a workhorse model.
Gemini 4 Hydrogen is here 🔥
⚡ 2.3× faster than GPT-6.1 Terra
⚡ 2.5× faster than Claude Sonnet 5.5
💰 1.6× cheaper than GPT
💰 8.6× cheaper than Claude
🧠 Scores 51 in just 6 min vs GPT's 14 min
🧠 Scores 54 in just 13 min vs Claude's 32.5 min
Faster. Cheaper. Smarter
Excited to test it.

Chancellor Howell understands the bigger picture and also is a great guy and sports fan!
NC State Chancellor Kevin Howell tells me he supports bringing a baseball team to Raleigh. Howell is a previous chair of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce board. Says there's enough to go around. Talked with UNC Chancellor Lee Roberts yesterday: wral.com/sports/unc-chancell…

Your incident response plan assumes a human or an attacker caused the incident. Increasingly neither did.
An agent with write access does something wrong at scale, quietly, for a while. By the time you notice you are not debugging. You are deciding what you owe people.
The questions your existing plan probably does not answer:
Who declares it? An agent degrading gracefully looks like normal operation far longer than an outage does.
What is the rollback? For an agent that sent messages or changed records, reverting the deploy does nothing.
Is this notifiable? That depends on what data was involved and what you told customers, and it is not an engineering decision.
Who talks to the customer? Have the answer before you need it.
Add one page to the runbook you already have. You do not need a new process. You need the agent scenario inside the old one.

Plan is starting to unfold. @jd has his marching orders and will get to the bottom of what happened.
🟥 HAPPENING NOW: President Trump has just ordered JD Vance to focus his attention solely on the massive crime and corruption in Blue States
FOCUS ATTENTION ON HOW THE CHEATING DEMOCRATS CAME UP WITH 20 MILLION MORE VOTES
I FIND IT VERY ODD 🤔

You promised a customer their data stays in the EU. Does your model know that?
Data residency commitments are easy to make in a sales call and hard to keep once a model is in the path.
The questions that matter:
Where does inference physically run? Not where the vendor is headquartered. Where the compute is.
Does your provider route overflow traffic to other regions under load? Several do, and it is usually in the docs rather than the contract.
If a human reviews flagged outputs for safety, where does that human sit?
That last one catches people. Content review is a processing activity, and it is frequently somewhere other than where your data was supposed to stay.
If you have signed residency commitments, verify them against your actual configuration this month. The commitment binds you whether or not the architecture cooperates.

Reminder how Nike and ESPN are responsible for the downfall of college sports as we knew them. Also, Nike is collapsing as a brand, so I think they should be focused on saving the company instead of writing huge checks they might not even be able to cash.
Interesting. This is a vertical agreement that would draw antitrust scrutiny if FSU and Florida had nowhere else to go. But they do: Adidas, Under Armour and others are free to outbid Nike, and Adidas did in fact bid to keep Miami. So, it’s probably just lawful hard bargaining.
The irony is that everyone will say Miami is wearing the crown, but Nike may be getting the better deal. It can’t pay Florida or FSU more than Miami without paying Miami more too. So when FSU and UF come asking for a raise, Nike’s hands are tied by a promise it made to their rival. That’s the theory enforcers would pursue, and it’s why Adidas being in the market matters so much.
