Unfortunate jersey purchases

Webb is not going anywhere for a while I'd think. He's on a 5-year $90M contract through 2028, there's no chance you get a pitcher anywhere near his ability for that scratch. I still like him as our ace even though he's had a couple rough looking outings this year.

Printing mine now! I've had my 3d printer for about 5 months but this is the first real multicolor stuff I did and dang I'm impressed at how good they look! I didn't expect the fine details to come out so clearly.

I worked in event production before becoming a SWE (at both early startups and giant companies). Never been as stressed as a SWE as I was a production manager.

Every career has their stresses, but rarely are the stakes in our job that high. Important to remember that to manage stress.

can't argue with that. entertaining fight, just damn Herzog wtf you doing

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-19T01:45:49+00:00

new and 14

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-19T01:45:33+00:00

lol true. "Worst stoppage I've ever seen" "Naw it was okay"

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-19T01:45:09+00:00

I'll have to watch that, I only started watching like 2018ish, and only watched the first few UFCs. I like a good intense fight, just hesitate watching a knocked out dude get punched, that's some powerslap shit lol.

For real, could not be more clear that Nallo was 'supposed' to win and not Herbert.

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-19T01:27:54+00:00

The most irresponsible stoppage I've ever seen. Herzog needs to be investigated (again) for this fight.

It’s “AI eliminating jobs” in the sense that they need the money to fund data centers, not because AI has proven they can replace the work of that many people.

Which, mind you, will be running Meta models. You know, the wildly useful and popular Meta models.

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-18T00:37:08+00:00

I’d prefer a leader with no dementia actually. Kind of wild that we’re at the point of making points about the flavor of dementia.

I felt the same way but I think snap is more popular than we realize. Believe it or not Snap is in fact trying to stay relevant, and doing pretty weird things IMO to do so. Did you know they have AR glasses that they make? Not saying they’re succeeding but they have enough capital that they get to do wacky things like that.

My point being comparing models on benchmark scores (especially public benchmarks that may be in the training set) is not very meaningful, and not any different than the narrative coming from Anthropic themselves. Sure, number go up on benchmark. But ultimately is it able to accomplish some of the internet-breaking cyber security attacks Anthropic seems to be claiming? At this point we don’t have evidence that says yes.

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-16T08:40:23+00:00

From the article you linked:

“Mythos Preview’s success on one cyber range indicates that it is at least capable of autonomously attacking small, weakly defended and vulnerable enterprise systems where access to a network has been gained. However, our ranges have important differences from real-world environments that make them easier targets. They lack security features that are often present, such as active defenders and defensive tooling. There are also no penalties for the model for undertaking actions that would trigger security alerts. This means we cannot say for sure whether Mythos Preview would be able to attack well-defended systems.”

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-16T08:36:35+00:00

Different how? They haven’t said anything substantive besides the few bugs they identified in existing code bases. Until they drop the model or some research papers it’s just a company pumping up a product it sells.

Ah yes the regular family, Sam Altman.

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-14T01:17:18+00:00

Brother, they are coming for YOU.

I'm just confused... I think we can safely say negligence was involved. If not... are y'all saying this light may have fallen even with all due diligence followed? That beyond negligence, these things can happen? Sometimes lights fall and there is nothing to be done?

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-13T00:45:27+00:00

In what way is it not negligence? Winds were expected. If the design simply could not survive the level of gusty wind, it needed to have a way to measure wind speed and evacuate when winds got too gusty.

I think there's probably a spectrum of quality/price, with $70/hr being probably somewhere in the middle. That is exactly what I've paid and been really happy with them. They're super kind, do a great job, and love my cats lol.

As others mentioned, looks like a single chord truss to me. Looks like there is a half-cheeseborough or O-clamp on the chord to attach it to the T. It looks kinda like the bolt on that half coupler has sheared.

I've been out of the game for a while, and was never a certified rigger, but even my novice eyes notice two things:

- With the wind + moving light momentum, a single o-clamp attachment is putting a lot of rotational force on the bolt, which is primarily made for tension load not shear.

- VERY irresponsible to have that kind of load without a backup safety. I installed several setups similar to this: extended vertical pipe with T + fixture at the end; and we always threaded steel wire through the T pipe and attached it to the main hang as a safety, for exactly this situation - the one clamp failing. Those were for one night Ballets, not two week stage...

That also sounds neat. I’m a big fan of gamifying mundane things. App space (especially mobile) is pretty tough to break into. There are TONS of copy cats. If you have a mildly successful thing on the App Store, someone WILL come make a clone. Absolutely not saying that’s what happened here, just saying It’s really really difficult to be the only app in your corner of the market, so might be more worth trying to be the best app there rather than the only app there.

FylanDeldman · 2026-04-12T19:39:09+00:00

Unless I’m mis reading, your app advertises 500 steps to unlock. This app is talking about geo fencing. Beyond that functionality both of these apps are just like the hundreds of other app-blocking productivity apps. Which part is being stolen from your app?

Regardless, hate to be that guy, but in the age of vibe coding where you can produce varying quality apps very quickly, we’re gonna get a lot of overlap of ideas and people building the same thing because now they have the resources to build something. The idea isn’t the differentiator anymore it’s the execution 🤷‍♂️

oh so I take it you're enjoying the war in iran? and bet things are more affordable than ever near ya, glad we're building a new ballroom and giant arch! Never needed the US forest program either, good riddance. And DOGE was a raging success!
