#Texas #Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian said 333-pound DT Maraad Watson was clocked at 16.8 mph on his 61-yard scoop and score vs. Mississippi State.
"I told you guys I was going to tell you how fast he ran! Now, granted, that was later in the game, and he had to rush the passer. So I think he can get to 17 miles an hour, and I really appreciated the ball in his outside arm when he picked it up, and he was ready to stiff-arm the defender coming from inside out. But I'm proud of Maraad."

What if an optimizer could think & react while a neural network trains?
MIT researchers developed OPAL: a deep learning optimizer powered by an AI agent that watches the training dynamics & rewrites its own source code as training goes. It improves model performance across vision & language tasks, invents specialized schedules, & develops strategies to prevent loss spikes & escape overfitting: tinyurl.com/yfkekat2

House Speaker Mike Johnson breaks into an unexpected impression of President Donald Trump while joking about the president's late-night phone calls.
"The man calls me at, like, 1:00 in the morning and also at 5 a.m.," Johnson says, reenacting Trump asking, "Mike, are you sleeping?"
"No, sir. Of course. Sleep is for sissies, we know."
Johnson then catches himself: "I'm not going to do the impression in front of you. I'm sorry. I didn't plan that."

Happy 60th birthday to the New Orleans Saints.

When I was at Bloomberg I had always wanted to created an “Odd Lots index” that bought and sold stocks based on the names and themes that were mentioned on the shows. One can run a backtest with factor-based attributions to see if @tracyalloway, @TheStalwart and their guests had some foresight/alpha in what’s to come. I never got around to it but I still think someone should!
