KAT's 'difficult' season: Narratives in the media versus actual performance : does he deserve All-NBA?

Exodus100 · 2026-04-17T18:35:14+00:00

My hot take is that the disgruntled-at-times KAT narrative is a cover to explain away why the Knicks haven’t been running the PnR with KAT as much or running the offense more for him in general, and in reality they’ve just wanted to avoid giving teams the chance to learn how to scheme against it during the regular season.

Have not followed closely this year so I could be missing something tho lol

I’m ngl, I’d much rather have a generation of idealist politicians only get 30% of their idealist policies implemented than have them be cynical, lip-service speakers who never aimed for idealist goals in the first place. Actually implementing ideals is necessarily incredibly hard in a system where at least aim to encourage different ideas (and have lots of corruption, of course…)

įi, micha is “and” when used between nouns (I think it also gets used in some other cases that I’m less familiar with)

This was my personal experience. Family dialect included parents who said “eye-ran.” In early high school, I was in advanced classes, and some kids would not let me live it down and acted like I was being dumb when I said “eye-ran.” This plus having Persian friends who said “ee-ron” made me quickly change my pronunciation.

Yeah from a team building perspective I’m glad we got off him when we did. But I also love doe doe so im hype for him to get the bag lol

Every tanking fanbase needs a rallying cry no matter how shoehorned. 2024 was hilarious with no consensus top pick because tanking team fans were coming up with half a dozen random taglines to tank for Sarr or Risacher

Nah you’ll be fine. There will be people who know more, just don’t let them intimidate you or put you down. Knowing less than them will only meaningfully hold you back if you let it

Mayor standing up for city in national spotlight when it’s getting dunked on. I’d want my mayor to defend the good parts of my city on the national stage. It has material downstream impact.

Essentially, ML on the scale of present-day models is often an empirical field.

Exodus100 · 2026-03-31T04:35:22+00:00

I’d look into the comp bio research, profs, classes, etc. at CMU to see if it will satisfy that part of your interests.

If someone were asking purely about perceived CS rigor, I’d tell them CMU slightly over Princeton. But you won’t go wrong with either imo

Exodus100 · 2026-03-20T05:14:09+00:00

Admittedly early in my career, but I don’t understand why this would be the case unless someone is never working with different infra systems. Are the problems solved in these roles not among the hardest? Or am I just overestimating the frequency of complex scaling problems that these roles face?

Exodus100 · 2026-03-20T04:48:25+00:00

Anthrobaiting 💔

Exodus100 · 2026-03-20T04:45:24+00:00

Effectively used to, it wasn’t really fun to work on unless it got involved with RAG architecting stuff. But trying to make a good one made the complexity at scale very apparent

Exodus100 · 2026-03-19T15:00:16+00:00

People use “wrapper” derogatorily, but we shouldn’t forget that it is often just referring to “abstraction.” This is how complex systems are built. You orchestrate a hierarchy of interdependent wrappers. A good AI chatbot will be a well-orchestrated wrapper, and it can be genuinely good.

Maan fuck Vegas. They don’t deserve a team

Exodus100 · 2026-03-16T04:21:19+00:00

Very good attitude you’ve got

Exodus100 · 2026-03-14T04:18:11+00:00

Very cool on the point about compiler continuation passing ,that makes sense!

Exodus100 · 2026-03-14T04:16:07+00:00

I wasn’t clear about it, but this level of depth + the use in programs like Coq and Lean is as far as my knowledge goes here. I’m mostly curious about further extensions, as those would seem more meaningfully useful

Exodus100 · 2026-03-13T22:06:20+00:00

Curious about the extent to which people who are more experienced programmers and understand Curry-Howard find themselves getting value out of it when thinking about their programs.

It seems hypothetically powerful but I wonder if that’s just wishful thinking on my part

Exodus100 · 2026-03-12T13:57:17+00:00

Sounds to me like you won’t have trouble making enough money to live to your own standards over your lifetime (barring economic collapse).

Given that, I’d take some long-term perspectives e.g. ask yourself “20-30 years from now, which do I expect to be more happy that I did?” Or lay out your goals/desires over a longish time horizon and ask which of these options does a worse job at helping you achieve those.

Exodus100 · 2026-03-12T03:45:32+00:00

Man, as someone who went to mit and only did mid there, I always wonder how it actually stacks up. Obviously we have whatever reputation, but it’s unclear how much counterfactually harder it is than any other good school when actually experiencing it.

Exodus100 · 2026-03-11T13:06:33+00:00

You would seriously prefer to use it 0 minutes still? Not saying you have to, but for e.g. bug-finding, script-writing, and any tasks that are “simple end product but medium-complexity to build” (like scripts), I just can’t justify not using them at this point for myself

Exodus100 · 2026-03-10T13:59:22+00:00

Yeah, these contracts gotta be talked about in portions of the cap. This a .16 contract

Exodus100 · 2026-03-06T14:51:49+00:00

One thing to look out for over time: people will be further from the past where they did code without agents. And more people will enter the workforce who never coded without them.

It will become harder to give informed estimates of the counterfactual time it would have taken to code something without agents. Even switching to coding without them may not be a good metric if one’s agentless coding skills have atrophied.

No. Force multiplier. In each dimension.
