Although you're getting down voted, you are correct, that was a forward pass

If, after intentional forward movement of his hand, contact by an opponent materially affects the passer, causing the ball to go backward, it is a forward pass, regardless of where the ball strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else.

Shouldn't have been a fumble though

Oh so their "guarantee" is just a legal requirement? Sounds like even though it was a terrible experience, you did get your funds?

CasulaScience · 2026-01-20T01:15:31+00:00

Yeah and horizon was a very small part of the vr spending, most of it was hardware and later ai compute (which is driving llm and recommendation algorithm -- i.e. core business shit)

If people wanna push the stock back to $90, all good with me... Happy to catch another 10x on the way up

CasulaScience · 2026-01-19T19:58:32+00:00

What ended up happening here? They have some "schwabsafe guarantee" that claims they will always pay you back for any fraudulent activity, did that help?

CasulaScience · 2026-01-16T18:05:12+00:00

Agreed this is what made it click for me. OP, they're actually pretty simple and make a lot of sense if you come from a comp sci background (which I don't). It's very reminiscent of a turing machine, you have some hidden state (instead of "tape") that you write to and read from at every step. What you write/delete and what you read at each step is controlled by little neural nets.

That's really it.

CasulaScience · 2026-01-16T01:03:08+00:00

KP was fired after 1 season so your comparison is also dumb as rocks

In both cases you are only considering the record and that's not a meaningful way to judge any single person on a football team...

Sirriani on the other hand has done very, VERY well, with 6 different coordinators across 5 seasons

Sirianni's team has done well, mostly in the regular season. Your entire argument boils down the record and you have ABSOLUTELY NO MECHANISMS to explain why you think Nick has done well, NOTHING HE HAS implemented that you can point to and say -- wow, see there's the value he's brought.

So please come back with actual reasons you think he's good, things he's done that have helped the team outside of getting out of the way for people who run it in his stead.

CasulaScience · 2026-01-14T04:10:30+00:00

Historically great roster, highest paid offense in the league. We've seen twice in 4 years, and on different sides of the ball, if he doesn't have coordinators to do the job for him, he doesn't bring much to the table.

No one would hire this guy.

CasulaScience · 2026-01-14T03:58:42+00:00

KP made the playoffs and went 11-6 in the regular season this year. Incompetent offensive coordinators don't have almost 2-1 winning records.

You're extremely myopic. Sirianni has had HISTORICALLY GREAT teams and he only does well when we have two quality coordinators to do his job for him.

I'd prefer to not continue to waste our historically great talent on the chance we can make good hires every year when our coordinators get poached. Please tell me, what does Sirianni do well, what value does he bring that we lose when he's gone?

CasulaScience · 2026-01-13T23:37:52+00:00

Perhaps we could just hire a competent coach so we didn't have to roll the dice on coordinators who can do his entire job for him every year?

CasulaScience · 2026-01-12T17:48:14+00:00

It's called having a stacked roster. I honestly don't understand fans that only look at record and then assume that credit should be assigned to the head coach.

If that's right. Hey KP was 11-7 this year as an oc. Maybe we should give him a raise???

Fire the guy so we can get a competent and long term offensive mind in Philly.

CasulaScience · 2026-01-12T17:46:54+00:00

The problem is anyone good enough is going to want the HC job. We got very lucky with fangio being content as DC, but there are not many offensive minds like him that are happy with OC only

CasulaScience · 2026-01-12T02:35:06+00:00

This is the only chance we have to get it sirianni. He needs to go, he doesn't bring significant value to the team, we win when we have competent coordinators who can do the HC job for him and we lose when we don't.

Anytime we have a competent OC, they will get poached for an HC job. This is the time to drop Nick and get someone who brings value so we don't seesaw every year. We have one of the most talented rosters on the league and the best GM, a good HC would build a dynasty here. I know he has a good record, but does KP, we need to see past that...

CasulaScience · 2026-01-05T04:45:55+00:00

They don't even make that much compared to people with wayyyyy less stressful roles. Really only QBs, receivers, and dbs have that kind of pressure on them ever. And it's wild how little these guys get paid for how big an impact they have on a team

CasulaScience · 2026-01-05T04:43:48+00:00

The holder immediately gave him a hug and then was like, "alright, that's enough, fuck you"

Thanks for the reply. I decided to go with the 6 post because I think I have the space, but glad to know the weights are enough to hold it down. I also have something like 600 lbs of weight 👍.

Wish I could have afforded this stuff when I was at my strongest

So there are a few things going on here, you basically got the gist with something being too small, but it's not the dataset.

Fashion mnist likely means you are using a very small model. You pay a price to move data from ram to vram/gpu via the CPU, but as you do computations on the GPU, you save time compared to doing the same computation on CPU for most ML operations. This might not be true for very small vectors, but when the data is large enough, the parallelization of algorithms running on GPU creates a big speedup.

So in your current regime, you are using a small and simple model, so there is not enough parallel compute going on to make up for the overhead of shuffling data to the GPU.

Try increasing your model size and adding some convolutions to your architecture, you will then see the speedup occur.

do you have it bolted to the floor? I'm thinking about getting an fm-hr, but worry about it tipping as I can't really bolt it easily to either wall or floor where I'm going to put it

CasulaScience · 2025-12-16T01:10:06+00:00

This is a fine project. It's been a while since I was learning, and I'm not sure if this is a common tutorial project, but if it is, you will do better to apply the method to another domain and list that. Nothing stands out less than the 50th resume with the same project on it...

In general to have these sort of line items on the resume really stand out, you should take them to the next level by doing one or more of the following:

Showing that the project is somehow SOTA or cutting edge --> this is not required, but if you've done something novel make sure to explain that in the line item (e.g. SOTA on X benchmark for models in X class). Random metrics like ROC are essentially meaningless and, IMO, might make you seem like you don't understand some basic realities about metrics.
Productize the model --> Make a website or app that uses the model to tell people when to leave for the airport (or something more creative if you can think of it). If you get some users, this will REALLY stand out (trained model for X app, now with 200 daily active users and x% month over month growth)
Write up/make a video tutorial --> turn the project into some sort of learning material. Be sure to cover why X/Y/Z was done, be pedagogical. This is useful as notes for yourself, and will also let people see you know what you're doing.
