The Hockey Ninja

I think really the story of the past ten years was people taking for granted 21st century liberalism was locked in and therefore you could just kinda be fashy for a laugh only to realize a moment too late Skinhead Steve wasn’t joking after all.

"The rest of us are using this technology for far more mundane purposes. A.I. spits out meal plans with the right amount of macros, tells us when our calendars are overscheduled and helps write emails that no one wants. That’s a mid revolution of mid tasks."

Největším paradoxem českého hokeje musí být to, že dodáváme světu jedny z nejšikovnějších a nejtechničtějších hráčů, ale v našem 🏆playoff🏆 si roky pěstujeme zpomalovací, zdržovací a umlácenou verzi nejrychlejšího kolektivního sportu, v níž projde skoro vše.

YouTube video by Thinking Basketball What former players get completely WRONG about today's NBA

Have you heard how there are too many threes in the NBA, everyone plays the same way and it's boring?

I'm not taking your opinion away, but this video carefully breaks down 🧐 how this era is different from previous ones.👇👇👇

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

We are about to descend into a dark place, and so much of the corporate, media, legal and political apparatus—including much of the Democratic Party—is acting like everything is normal and fine.

It's not.

Sometimes, hopefully in nesr future, we’ll collect sensible game data even from practice sessions. #inspection #nationalteam

Quantifying Defensive Stops Which defenders actually end the opponent's offensive possession?

Put together something about defensive stops using Liiga data.

I do a lot of work gathering, visualizing, and analyzing data.

When somebody comes and asks me for some numbers, like "Hey can you tell me how many [X] did [Y] during [time]?" my first response is usually,

"What are you trying to understand?"

This is very good.

You can date the collapse in an art form to the moment individual works of art are disconnected from their audience. And the comparison of streamer content platforms to packages of bad mortgages is spot on, I suspect.

“Content” serves distributors, not creators or audiences.

When a country's leading newspapers declines to endorse a political candidate because its billionaire owner fears that one candidate will retaliate against him if he wins, I think you have all the information you could possibly need

So much of our politics is designed to meet the emotional needs of older Americans. These people refuse to take Trump seriously because they *must* believe that in order to vote for him.

Pundits feed this fantasy because taking Trump seriously would require them to do a different kind of journalism

Frame 1: (Sender) AI expands a bullet point to a long email Frame 2: (Recipient) AI makes a bullet point out of long this email

Pretty much this.

I admit the data isn't perfect, it's based on current rosters on EliteProspects, which range between 24-29 players in depth charts.

The inclusion of more junior players on the rosters could skew the data to be slightly younger/lighter/smaller.

🇨🇿 Extraliga leads in every category by a wide margin.
🇫🇮 Liiga is younger and a little lighter.
🇸🇪 SHL is average/above average in all three metrics.

Loosely following Jack Han's series on Czech hockey (jhanhky.substack.com/p/the-czech-...), I thought it might be interesting to share some basic comparisons of players in the major European leagues that I have.

🇨🇿The Czech league is the oldest, biggest and heaviest competition in Europe.

There was a time I used google news to see interesting sports stories or articles. Now it’s just filled with aggregators - often the same aggregator multiple times in a row making a story out of some quote or another. Just awful

Twice a week now a Silicon Valley company issued a press release like, “We have invented a new technology. It’s only use is for crime. Accordingly, we are all now billionaires.”

💔💔💔

"The information age is over. Now we enter the age of noise."

"AI images are not a remix. They are the constraint of random noise through prediction. They don't engage the past or understand it. They reanimate it like a seance, but then they lie about what the ghosts tell us."

I think before we get too caught up in what Bluesky should or shouldn’t be we should soberly acknowledge what it is: a retirement home for 2000s forum millennials

It's rather annoying that twitter is still rather active in the hockey space but it's also being driven into the ground by a total fucking moron. Everyone should just move over here imo
