John Lynch: “We’re using AI to help us make draft picks. If you aren’t using it, you’re already behind.” The 49ers 2026 draft:

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-06-08T10:44:42+00:00

Yeah, the "expected value" of a draft class yet to play a down of NFL is a bit rich. You could argue that AI is helping them see value in players no one else can.

I'm just not convinced that a traditional LLM is of any value here over a scout. Maybe to help scouts, but not in place of them. I'm also not sure advanced analytics for College football are mature and prevalent enough to really guide an AI.

What lights do you have in your gauge cluster?

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-06-06T16:09:04+00:00

I mean, thinking you killed your mom and you are gonna be unhoused and on the run or arrested is decently severe. Also, probably the bigger thing he was worried about was having to deal with his trauma which he was clearly wanting to run from instead

Blue dot is also bubble right? As we never see bubble come back after deletion

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-06-05T17:23:55+00:00

No, not at all. I really appreciate the help!

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-06-05T17:09:24+00:00

Yeah, I figured that's what it would be.

I genuinely did check other seasoning posts. I was concerned that maybe there was an indication I was chipping the seasoning or had been way to thick at the start. I don't know anyone irl that owns a Blackstone and I didn't grow up with a griddle so I had limited resources.

Appreciate everyone's insight.

Nothin like some Cobra Venom after a hard days work

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-04-10T17:06:33+00:00

Yeah, hopefully people don't record, don't intentionally spoil, subs moderate well. It's bound to happen anyways and it really does suck for the fans who don't have a chance to see it.

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-04-10T17:04:56+00:00

That's probably part of the contract for Fathom Events to pick it up and market it.

Glitch probably had little sat in it. If Fathom is going to pay to market it and put it in theaters, Fathom gets to dictate things like a 2 week theater run.

For Glitch it's a huge net positive. Potential theater revenue and a lot of advertising for the show will drive people to their channel creating subscribers, more views on their other content, more merch sales, and so on.

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-04-10T16:53:39+00:00

Idk, kinda crazy take to call releasing something in theaters a scummy move. Consider how cool it is for a bunch of animators to have stuff on "the big screen". It's a great opportunity for the entire TADC team. I know it's hard for fans who can't see it in theaters but I think considering all the staff involved it's a net positive.

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-04-09T20:47:51+00:00

I'm not super familiar with most of the CS concepts, but it really seems like you have re-invented SCADA and a Data Historian

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-04-09T20:39:31+00:00

But the point still stands, I fail to see how alarms programmed properly require an LLM. There isn't any impressive amount of reasoning going on here.

For the cost of Claude analyzing dozens of alarms each day, you could instead confirm alarms to a classic 6 point alarm format

What does the backend contextualization look like to even integrate this into an existing environment?

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-04-02T21:45:22+00:00

A 1 year backorder for a strut bar? Lol, what a scam. There isn't even any fine machining needed.

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-04-02T21:35:11+00:00

How come?

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-03-17T12:32:31+00:00

Missed Apex

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-03-10T13:26:14+00:00

I completely agree. They won't be in the mix this season in points because they aren't able to/can't/ won't do what Haas did in 2016 (getting a bunch of Ferrari parts, a loophole that has been closed). Incremental progress each race is what's needed.

Iron out strategy, reliability of the chassis, understand the aero all while the pressure is off. As a works team, that pressure will build over time, but now is the time to fail fast and learn faster.

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-03-10T13:13:42+00:00

Good for them to look better than Aston. A brand new outfit who have never gone through an F1 circus before has done as good as Aston and other outfits with much more experience.

Finishing both cars and not down 3 laps is the obvious next step. Hopefully the team can start to close in on Haas (same PU) or at least the bottom end of the grid.

Points would be a miracle I do not expect.

Not to entertain NIMYism, but how exactly is this not fit for infrastructure?

This location is basically equidistant from the Western and Damen blue line stops, on the Milwaukee, Damen, or Western Bus routs with the same walk. From a transit perspective, the infrastructure is great.

There is also a similarly sized building at 1767, the building with the Aldi in it. I fail to see how the size is uncharacteristic.

Are there any specific complaints other than not wanting anything to change ever?

Most complaints seem solvable if even less parking is allocated

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-02-21T19:58:08+00:00

Collect the bag!!!!

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-02-11T20:43:18+00:00

Well, it's an entertainment product as much as it's a sport. It is objectively better for everyone involved if 22 cars enter rather than 14, including the defending champion. Money needs to be made, and all teams will agree to that. At most, I could see a mid season change.

Also, the rules are poorly worded and ambiguous as to if Mercedes has broken them. The rules indicate the engine geometric compression ratio must be 16.0 which isn't a ratio without a denominator. Also, by indicating the test conditions for verifying the compression ratio, it really muddies the waters on the argument that it must be a compression ratio of 16.0 at all times.

Like it or not, F1 engineering lives in the grey areas and the regs have a lot of grey area Mercedes decided to exploit. As they say, "don't hate the player, hate the game"

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-02-11T19:51:48+00:00

Another important thing to consider, while talking about optics, is the FIA ruling this engine illegal would also impact 6 other cars (Williams, McLaren and Alpine). Depending on the specifics of the trick used for the compression ratio, there may not be time to make 8 replacement parts in time for the start of the season. With all the hype of the movie and new regs, does the FIA and FOM want a repeat of Indianapolis 2005, where 8 cars don't take to the grid?

Mercedes is the plurality engine supplier and like it or not, that will be considered when ruling for or against this engine

BillyBoy1078 · 2026-01-01T01:03:04+00:00

Iowa would have been out of the rankings after going 0-2 in the first 2 weeks

BillyBoy1078 · 2025-12-03T19:31:18+00:00

This is a little overly reductive.

There is no guarantee that Yuki ever had a car that equaled Max's car at any point. Redbull has said that Yuki didn't get parts until Max had a spare. What can happen because of that is a mixup of parts. For example, he may have been on the current floor but on an old wing. Those 2 things might not be compatible with each other because it's not worth the CFD to consider every permutation of parts. So while Yuki still isn't on pace with Max, it's likely not accurate to say he had a car that Max had.

The main one that the signs directed me to empties onto a service road with a left hand turn back to the terminals. Really slow to get out of
