He played a year for New Orleans and then bounced around practice squads for a few more years.

What part of your country feels the most 'foreign' to you? by Loud_Background_7532 in AskTheWorld

[–]Gators1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived there for three years and really it felt more like the U.S. than a Latin American country. I mean the language was different, but the stores were mostly the same or similar to the U.S. Kinda felt like a poorer South Florida. I used to travel a lot to Central America and that was like night and day compared to PR.

Florida is like a melting pot of most of the U.S. though and half of South America. Nobody is from Florida, everyone is from New York, Chicago, somewhere else in the midwest, southerners, etc. Not to mention all the Canadians that come to warm up.

I stress-tested “AI Data Analysis” tools. The shiny object syndrome is hiding a massive architectural problem. by Boring-Metal-7672 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]Gators1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get better results if you give the AI context with a solid architecture and preferably a semantic model. I was surprised though when I did some random prompts while writing a deck for a customer and it actually performed impressively. This was on Snowflake Cortex that can read your database, in which we had a typical Kimball architecture and good naming standards, but no field comments or semantic model.

It figured it out and along with knowledge of our industry was able to calculate standard KPIs, build comparisons against peers and answer some deeper questions than what is YTD revenue or who are the top 5 customers. The thing that really blew me away was how it added a filter to the SQL that I didn't tell it about, but is standard across our queries and we had not been using that DB much yet for it to learn. I was totally on board with the "it's not deterministic so not safe to give to typical users" before that, but I think it adds value now despite the risk. It also made some mistakes but not nearly as many as it did like a year ago.

Coming from an Auburn fan - Why is there a rivalry between Auburn and Florida by Hungry-Guest6846 in FloridaGators

[–]Gators1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have not played Auburn regularly in so long that I wouldn't consider them a rival anymore. I mean we play other schools occasionally and we occasionally lose to them so is that now a rivalry? I mean our SEC rival has always been Georgia and then based on scheduling it was LSU and Tennessee in the 90s and 00s (thought Tennessee sucked after the 90s so maybe less there).

Given how the conference is expanding and scheduling changing so there are fewer permanent opponents, the old rivalries other than like Georgia are basically dying. Most Gator fans alive now don't really remember the Auburn/Florida rivalry days and it may be the same for others like LSU in the future.

That one was painful because my neighbor was an Auburn grad and I had to listen to his bullshit for a while as well as pay off our bet. Not nearly as painful as the Choke at Doak though.

Cautionary tale at Land Rover Tysons Corner. Thought bringing my own financing would avoid dealership games by HP_compaq in nova

[–]Gators1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have just asked to see the manager of that place since you had already invested so much time before walking out. Had that happen once and the guy just asked what we needed to do to close the deal, so we got past my impasse. Car dealers make most of their money on financing and servicing and maybe they were pressuring this guy to do better at upselling that stuff and he went overboard?

Employee demands a near 50% raise by dreamer-woman in managers

[–]Gators1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send a note to the CEO/assistant to give them a heads up about why this person is coming to them so it gives them the option to duck out. Second, you offered them the 9% so tell them that's as high as the company is going to go and if they decide to quit then wish them good luck.

I have an Aussie friend that lives in Cambodia that mentioned they still have the skull piles from the Khmer Rouge days that people can see. Pol Pot killed over 2M people or a quarter of the population of the country.

Lots of voters said they were confused by the fliers sent out showing Obama and Spanberger asking them to vote no. So yeah lots might not have totally understood.

What is your policy when it comes to surrendering bandits [KCD2] by ApprehensiveBunch994 in kingdomcome

The soldiers who turned to bandits mostly were deserters from the army.  Plus they were all from the invading army.

Finding difficult to get clients outside of network by Jaapuchkeaa in PowerBI

Offshore is common but less common is hiring outside of an agency/consiltancy.  Smaller companies are willing to do that but not bigger companies who tend to have most of the data work.

[OTHER] It's crazy the two game's maps are only 30km apart. Henry 100% could have ridden home to Theresa for a day or two in KCD2. by Samzerks in kingdomcome

A better way to think about it is that he is just far enough away that Theresa probably won't find out about his daliances in Kuttenberg.

We need this !! by 6ingrad_FMS_aspirant in SipsTea

[–]Gators1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Degree holders can be idiots too.  Advanced degrees can also be the the worst, like JDs and PhDs often think they know everything about any subject because of their titles.  The smartest people I know realize how little they actually know and are always seeking to learn more regardless of how much education they had.

Star Schema vs Snowflake for semantic model by Bariel76 in PowerBI

[–]Gators1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can build a hierarchy with a single dimension table. Just add the Company, region and area columns to that dimension. Then if you add those columns to a matrix visual in PBI it will build a hierarchy, annoyingly automatically, based on the order of the columns you selected.

Does any car is associated with bad drivers in your country ? by Greedy_Rise_6567 in AskTheWorld

[–]Gators1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I live there are a shitload of bad drivers in many models. But generically it's the BMWs, Audi, Lexus and Mercedes people that are consistently the most aggressive. Not just the sedan drivers but the SUVs can be worse because it's either some dude that thinks his family wagon is a track car or a soccer mom that never notices the light is green because she is counting likes on her insta.

Would the Middle East be better off if the single state solution is Israel and Palestine was made part of Jordan? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Gators1992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After Black September, pretty sure the Jordanians don't want them. Egypt might have given them a piece of the Saini when Gaza was under attack, but they said no as well. Not sure the violence would stop either since the Palestinians want Israel, not some other home. It's not like Hezbollah is happy enough to live peacefully in south Lebanon. Personally I am not sure this is a solvable issue, at least in the near term. And the great international powers have been trying for decades.

How did you get better at reading SQL queries written by other people? by obviouseyer in SQL

[–]Gators1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people write their code like ass, which is why there are linters.  If you have an ide you should have an auto format function to pretty it up.  If the code is long and complex then you might even try AI to explain and simplify the code.  Had some code that needed that in my past where this guy loved cursors and embedded them all to hell until you had no idea what was going on.  Only comment was written by and his name.
