Proud to share the full pdf of the @OReillyMedia report that @multiarmbandit and I wrote on data science management: "The Care and Feeding of Data Scientists: How to Build, Manage, and Retain a Data Science Team". Let us know what you think! bit.ly/oreilly_care_and_feed…
I was curious about how GPT 5.5 stacks up against Opus 4.7 and Mythos on their common benchmarks. Thanks Claude!

Hey @firecrawl -- what's with this clause in your terms? Seems problematic--are you guys just for personal projects?
"The following are prohibited activities under this Agreement: 1. Use the Services for any commercial purposes except as expressly authorized by Firecrawl"

@ATT screwed my 84-year old father out of $200 when he moved into a nursing home because, as the agent told me on the phone, their systems are too "ancient" to successfully cancel phone landline service successfully after multiple hour long conversations.
After 40 minutes on phone call #3 (4 months after this saga started), "I've tried everything I can do to cancel it but I can't. I need another department but they're closed. Call back in 3-5 days."

Has anyone out there successfully connected a custom MCP to ChatGPT with all the dynamic client registration stuff? I'm seeing something odd where ChatGPT sends empty oauth scopes which Okta doesn't like. @OpenAIDevs

How is it that there is still no good solution for python development with @databricks? Docker is a second class citizen. And there’s no way to lock an env with poetry/uv to reproduce a given DBR to develop against.

A lot of chat about the Trump team getting the tariff formula from an LLM. Since GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok all give the same answer I figured it must be in the training data. If you ask them for a citation you get Peter Navarro. So more likely data poisoning.
How is it possible for the default @Apple weather app to be so atrocious? 9 times out of 10 it won’t even load the map tiles for the precipitation map. Hundreds and hundreds of people report the same issue: discussions.apple.com/thread…

How is it possible that the Courtyard @Marriott in Macon, GA not only still has smoking rooms but also won’t guarantee you can reserve a non-smoking room? What is this, 1985 @CourtyardHotels?!

I'm pretty surprised at how bad @NotionHQ 's customer support is. For two months now Notion can't maintain a login session in Chrome. CS escalated, and then escalated again to engineering. But every time I ask for an update it's just a black hole and they close the ticket.

@Metra Your online schedule data is all messed up. UP-N schedule is tacking on an extra phantom 30 minutes from Clybourn to OTC. Schedule shows times that are over an hour from Wilmette when it’s actually 30 mins.

It’s wrong on your site, in @VentraChicago , and anything that relies on your data.

Hey @VentraChicago -- the purchase button has been broken in the app all day. But it's cool--I guess @Metra has enough money?

Added in streaming audio input to my openai-realtime-streamlit port. Super fun to play around with. Here's a quick loom to show it in action: loom.com/share/0358b36bcee74…
