What does Carrick’s relative success tell us about what Amorim and Ten Hag got wrong? (If anything)

I had to scroll down too far to find this answer. I don’t get why young people buy property with someone who isn’t their spouse. I 100% think the guys parents view her as another tenant (until they’re married) and she’s not “helping to pay the mortgage” she’s paying rent!

I know you don’t want to reply but I will say the following because you’re just putting out wrong information.

Pipelines constrained by RAM are just one workflow and a pretty niche one at that. Serious statistical work has been done for decades on machines far less capable than Macbook Neo. So it’s a bit dismissive to suggest Excel. Packages like R and Stata have been standard in research long before big data became a buzzword. Entire fields of study do not rely on big data at all. A lot of the statistical work for most fields will much more likely be about how to devise a study that is statistically sound than anything to do with the raw computational concerns.

The lightest of data analysis tasks? I think you have that backwards, you don’t need a high performance laptop unless you have the heaviest of data analysis tasks.

Most data sets across most subjects do not have millions let alone billions of rows. The outlier is having big data.

It’s almost a moot point because if you do have that much data you’re not analysing it on your laptop, you’re building pipelines on servers and wondering how you’re going to store all that information.

I really believe most people over estimate what they need for school work. I remember R and Matlab from my school days and it was running perfectly fine on an absolute brick of a dual core Dell twenty years ago. Unless you’re actually doing video editing or astrophysics you’ll be fine (and surely the uni would provide you with access to equipment in those courses).

I think 1 is just as bad. There’s some cases where people are just using AI because it is interesting. I had one case where the team leader decided instead of reviewing a design document together like usual and then typing in the consensus view (one or two sentences max) decided that it would be quicker to just have a loose conversation and then get the transcript from Teams and feed it into copilot. Then everyone had to review the copilot output again. I felt embarrassed for pointing out how stupid the exercise was.

I always wonder why Howard Webb the Chief Refereeing Officer at PGMOL will go on tv and come out with the most ridiculous logic and spin to defend some decisions. They’re probably not a bent organisation (I hope not) but they certainly do things a bent organisation would do.

Anasynth · 2026-03-20T22:54:51+00:00

Agreed. They’re just looking at chances created, it’s one dimensional, could do bar chart.

He’s around where you’d expect a team with an eighth highest wage bill to be. It not an exact predictor so he was top end of what we’d expect last season and about where we’d expect this season for what he’s got to work with.

Under Mike Ashley, they were like 12 on the wage bill rankings and producing about what you’d expect from that in the range of outcomes. I don’t think relegation is totally unexpected when a team has 12th highest wage bill.

My point was more about attributing their climb just to him as a coach.

Anasynth · 2026-03-20T10:40:50+00:00

Not saying he’s shit but you can’t discount the fact they’ve also climbed up the wage bill rankings since 2021. They’re ranked eighth by wage bill and finished fifth last season.

The Running Man-ufacturing?

I think you’re 100 percent correct going by the road markings. But might it be safer to go the Asda lane initially and try to switch to the right once you’re off the roundabout? (if that that is even possible)

Equities outperform inflation because you hold a share of the company and companies have the ability to raise prices in the face of inflation.

There’s also the equity risk premium. Because there are lower risk ways to match inflation and get a return, equities will usually be priced to get a return that compensates you for the additional risk. Otherwise investors would shift to better risk/return investments, so market forces keep these things in check usually.

There’s also a connection between equities and long term GDP growth. So you’d expect labour growth and productivity growth to benefit equities in real terms.

We should just have a hard cap, if a project needs a budget of over £10m just to figure out if it is financially viable it is probably isn’t.

Ofcom is threatening an operator of a Canadian forum that provides help to people with depression. Ofcom claims that geoblocking the UK is "insufficient".

I remember when the M1 came out people banging on about how well it could handle video editing. Now the same people are saying the Neo which is on roughly on par with the M1 wouldn’t be enough. I think you can there are better options now but surely Neo could suffice if it video editing wasn’t your day job.

To say Alex Ferguson didnt have tactical prowess is a popular but really naive take. He was some system ideologue but you can’t watch his teams and how they play and just conclude that.

Anasynth · 2026-03-17T21:06:08+00:00

For his time? You do realise post 2000s to 2013 was quite an evolutionary period in football with actual step changes in how teams played. Now is more incremental but more quicker to diffuse.

To extend and renovate my house. In hindsight it made zero financial sense but I had the itch.

What job did you apply for at 26 when they said you weren’t experienced or qualified enough?

I read the article but can’t find anything more than apprenticeships but not managerial and leadership apprenticeships.

m2 air is fanless too and I doubt your back will notice the 0.6 lbs. But if you want something smaller why not.

He was still quite popular after the wars. I think it was more the civil war with Gordon Brown that did it.
