...But at every intersection along South Broad, five or six Philadelphia police officers - who were waiting in frigid temps to conduct crowd control - gathered around one officer's cell phone, watching the game, and hooped and hollered as the Eagles advanced.

You know what people hear when you say this? Especially other men who are less powerful than you? That the status quo is inevitable, and they shouldn't bother sticking their neck out to change it. That those who care are suckers, weaker than you tough guys.
But what I hear is your own weakness.

I'm increasingly pissed off at men in leadership positions posting here that companies backsliding on DEI etc is inevitable, and treating people who are angry about it as naive children. All you are showing is that you are a leader who either a) doesn't care or b) lacks the guts to fight against it.

Hey! I've been jealous of NYC, DC, and other locales having a Systems meetup group.
So, I'm looking to start one for Philly in early 2025:

There's an email signup form on the website to get more info when it comes out!

So hey, maybe it’ll help somebody. About eighteen months ago, I found out I had breast cancer. I got a phone call and I sat there and said the right things and hung up and sat in my car and just had cancer for a bit.
I feel rather horribly calm. It’s like finding out that a cancer came back. “Ah. This again. I see.”

I spun up a new LLM benchmark: how well can they handle this prompt?

In the most Philadelphian thing I’ve done recently, you can just go to the water ice factory and pick up a few gallons. At $8.95/gallon it’s pretty cheap too
