Someone should write a parable about a time travel going back to ancient times to train an LLM on ancient Greek knowledge. The Oracle at Delphi project.

I know the answer is "Actually everyone is a fucking idiot" but it continually amazes me (not just with AI) how much people just want someone to tell them what to do.

It's fine for "do I paint the trim or walls first?" but you went to how many years of school and jump for the black box answer?

let's see if they can score 22 tomorrow.

would've been better at 12 imo, given the album announcement.

yeah probably, I haven't been to another stadium (mlb) in decades though so not getting those anymore.

The Mets have been doing this stupid "come back to your cart" advertising nonsense all year, pretending that you started checking out but didn't finish, but it falls particularly tonedeaf now that it seems like a lot of people might actually be legit having those second thoughts.

Add it to the list of hundreds of easy things the democrats could do any time over the last 10, 20, 50, 100 years and I'm sure they'll get to it eventually..

..or we vote for progressives.

good send imo, tip your cap to that throw from CF. Should've gotten more hits earlier. #Mets

As someone alive in 2020, I would've assumed you were talking about the present.

The government and business leaders lying to us for profit by any tool possible? Sacrificing the vulnerable for money? Multiple narratives full of falsehoods?

Pattern matching computers pale in comparison

3rd lowest BABIP, so non-anecdotally too.

It does read as a "level swing to all fields" type of approach. They ARE third in barrel% too, which includes ideal launch angle, but if they're actually looking to all fields, the park is big.

I need to find where I can see team-wide spray charts. Do they have more outs in deepCF for example..

One 'interesting' thing about the Mets offense..

They hit it hard. 3rd in league in HardHit%. 2nd in Exit Velocity90, but 21st in Launch Angle. 27th in Pull%. 16th in LD%.

It really does feel like they're choosing the wrong pitches to attack and over-priortizing contact.

i get it from Savant. you're making inferences based on insinuations from content trolls.

I implore you to research? I have done the research and what they seem to be doing seems to be more old-school "hit to all fields" nonsense than data-driven good approach stuff. Quotes from Eric Chavez have hinted at that too.

Furthest I've been:
N: Geestland, Germany. (15m from northern tip of Germany)
E: Prague, Czechia
W: just off the Hawaiian coast on Kauai
S: Big Island. Southern tip, southern most point of US)

Only +/- 6 in terms of time zones.

math isn't telling them to have this poor approach, in fact I suspect what they're doing is LESS analytics-based and that that's the problem.

Anyway, I still think a huge problem we need to contend with is freaking 'content' churn. Automated systems (AI or not!) that just inundate us with stuff. Not even the spam, the constant capitalism "LOOK AT ME" stuff.

You want me to review a hex bolt? go away

First group is in the back fiddling with stuff thinking "Hmm, I wonder if I did this.. What if we tried.."

the second group was handed a huge AI check by a VC fund and wrote up some buzz word talking points. (Probably ChatGPT'd it actually, and fed half of it as quotes to the Times)

That bioprinted plug and play eyeball company that was supposed to have us new eyes by 2027 doesn't seem to have made any progress I can find.

It's not really an "early use case" it's simply modeling behavior we've let dominate and spread.

see also racism, hate speech, etc. We need to be more cognizant of the mirror here.

Because it wasn't a clean transfer. Because he still had to made a good throw, and then a good catch, and then a good tag. And we don't know how close Taylor was already.
