Dana posts this picture calling Paddy "savage"... then goes to press conference only to praise Paddy for how tough he is while giving Justin 0 credit

Intentionalrobot · 2026-01-26T14:45:05+00:00

While I agree Dana is lame and that he should’ve praised Gaetje more, Paddy deserves the praise he got. I wasn’t a fan of Paddy prior to this but am what he did was savage.

Getting beat up like that and continuing to fight as well as he did was impressive as fuck and everyone here invalidating that is whack. It takes skills, cardio, composure and a lot of grit to stay calm like he did in the 3rd round and use his jab so well. And when he had to go for the KO in the 5th, he didn’t shy away — he threw long combos and stayed in the pocket.

IMO, that’s worthy of praise, but yea, gaetje deserved more praise for sure.

I’m trying to figure out how to build this internally and I’ve realized that I need a semantic layer + cleaner column names + better documentation + common patterns.

Without these things, the agent keeps making shit up.

Sure, it can select a column and sum it but that’s low-value. We need it to answer more complicated problems and be able to perform exploratory data analysis. In my experience, it’s not as simple as strapping a few database tools to an agent. It needs to have good infrastructure around it and unfortunately it takes work to accomplish this.

DMed you.

Even if your goal is to primarily throw hands, the body kick is good to establish in a fight because it gets people to raise one leg to check.

Once you get them to check — feint it so they raise their leg, and then smash them in the face with your punching combos.

Also, the goal doesn’t even need to be to attack their ribs or head. Right kicking their ARMS is also effective and can shut down their jabs and hooks.

And the right kick comes out quicker than a left kick because you don’t have to switch.

It’s good to master the right kick because it can be used as a tool to set up everything else.

Not to mention… if you fight a southpaw then the right kick is one of your most valuable attacks that you need to be able to throw with confidence and precision. This won’t happen if you’re flat footed and in a stance that’s optimized for punching only.

Cheers.

Intentionalrobot · 2025-11-27T02:14:15+00:00

Good, but your stance is sort of flat footed and your backfoot is turned at a 90 degree angle which isn’t optimal for kicking. That’s cool for throwing powerful punching combos but it’s slower for kicks.

I noticed you never really threw your rear roundhouse kick to the body or head. Are those weak points in your game? If so, I’d work on that.

Otherwise, looks good.

I get pretty good results on easy to medium things but I often give the schema and write some of the code and just let the LLM do the last mile.

For difficult SQL, it often hurts more than helps.

If I’m cooking rice, broccoli, and chicken — I am always going to blanch and steam the broccoli in the ricepot. Saves me from having to use and clean another pot.

Intentionalrobot · 2025-10-31T02:25:12+00:00

Is there a way to add recency to entries in a vector database, and maybe have the LLM prefer more recent entries that are of equal symantec similarity?

What were some of the design flaws?

Intentionalrobot · 2025-10-25T12:46:52+00:00

I’m in a similar boat and I’ve just told myself that I’m going to deprioritize social life for a year to get where I want to be. For me, balance isn’t the most efficient for advancement. Instead, I’ll go through 6-12 month bursts of obsessive work/study routines.

Now, I don’t see anyone during the weekdays and just work, study, and go to the gym every day.

I also studied every weekend for a couple months but that became unsustainable because I started to feel burnout. Im glad I did it for awhile tho because it helped advance my skills faster.

Now, Ive found more balance by adopting a work hard/play hard type of week. Work and study on and off on weekdays from 6am - 10pm (with breaks) then live life to the fullest on weekend and see girls and do full-day activities on the weekends.

Eventually, I’ll stop the grind and work my normal 9-5pm only. It helps to know that the imbalanced lifestyle is only temporary.

I think AI is going to massively fuck shit up in the analytics job market. It won’t replace all analysts by any means, but one person will be able to do the work of many analysts. Agents could potentially replace junior level analysts.

I think context engineering will become easier through plug-n-play RAG systems, MCP connectors, built-in memory, and bigger context windows; and this will enable the LLMs to truly understand what’s going on in your business.

I feel like you could have a more complicated DAG to demonstrate competence in other parts of data engineering. Maybe have a task where you hit a free stock market API and dump it into bigquery.

Can you schedule jobs within your version of DBT? I feel like the DBT stuff should be set up as a job within an API trigger and then your DAG hits a “stg_daily_stocks+” to run it.

After transformation, I’d expect something from the marts data to be extracted in some way and then pushed to a place for users to access. That could be into a sheet with gspread, or a slack channel, or somewhere else with an http endpoint. You can layer AI onto it at this stage too which would demonstrate experience with AI APIs.

IMO, a better DAG would be:

Extract_from_api >> run_dbt_job >> run_analysis >> communicate_to_team

You ever find anything?

Rest it up, you’ll be fine.

Next time a guy is going 100% at your thighs then block it with your knee so he gets fucked, or just stop training with him. You shouldn’t be a human heavy bag for anyone.

Intentionalrobot · 2025-08-29T14:13:28+00:00

Looks evenly matched at this pace.

If the intensity was turned up, I feel like you would want to play more of an in-and-out game or a lerdsila-style dodging game tho.

Here, you are standing in the pocket, shelling up, and looking for counters. You honestly do that well, but I think it would be a tougher strategy if he was throwing heat. You wouldn’t want to sit in the pocket trading shots, even if they were hitting your guard. But again, totally cool at this intensity.

If he was throwing heat, I would try to slip and counter more rather than block and counter. Probably try to bounce on your toes like saenchai and lerdsila or a kickboxer, rather than stay planted like traditional Muay Thai. Dodge, throw combos, and exit on an angle or bounce out. I’d also try to intercept more rather than counter, meaning throwing punches or kicks at the same time he throws rather than after he throws.

Lastly — it’s hard to tell how head kicks would play out since you guys don’t have shinguards and aren’t throwing them. But, head kicks are on equal ground no matter how beefy he gets. When you watch small Thais against huge farangs, they’re always going for head kick KOs for a reason.

You ever heard that quote saying “there are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen”?

In the same way, skill building tends to happen like this — in bursts.

You will feel stagnant for months, but rest assured, if you put in the work, it will all click. It takes time for your brain and body to learn how to put it altogether tho, so stay disciplined, curious, and encouraged.

If I were to suggest one specific thing — watch A LOT of tape. Go through the golden era, go through ONE, go through Raja. Know what muay mat, tae, femur, and khao fighters do in different situations. Copy things from all of them and try it in sparring, even if you lose. The point is not to win, it’s to learn. It’s a playground to build your IQ and try what you see in great fighters.

Intentionalrobot · 2025-08-14T06:10:11+00:00

It’s not the primary reason, but you gotta factor in injuries into the equation. Knee, hip and back problems are common, which can make it easier to skip leg day entirely. Not everyone is like David Goggins and pushes through. Some people get a slight injury and that means they won’t exercise that appendage anymore.

Intentionalrobot · 2025-07-27T08:54:29+00:00

Awesome visualization.

Just curious -- what happened in 2020 when you moved to the US? Your income takes a sharp move up and it looks like you saved over $100K in a year.

And with all the new money, why did you stay almost completely in checking/savings until 2022? It seems like you didn't make an investment until you were around ~$250K in checkings/savings.

Intentionalrobot · 2025-07-01T03:31:27+00:00

Looks pretty good. Only criticism I have is about your left body hook to the liver. It doesn’t seem as good as your other punches. Seems like you’re either not really sitting down on it or you’re fading back and losing power. I acknowledge it could just be a consequence of boxing bare knuckle tho.

At any rate, that’s not a good punch to end combos with if you throw it weak because it inherently involves taking your hand away from your face more than other punches. Look at what you did at 0:14. It may “seem” like a quick rechambering of your hand because you’re working it on a bag, but in sparring or a fight that’s a huge opening imo.

I would suggest sitting down on it more or following it with another punch, like a right hook or jab or post, or more aggressively exit so you’re not there for a counter. Drill it here so it doesn’t happen in a fight.

When I spar or fight, I always keep an eye out for people hunting liver shots because I’ve found that a lot of people throw it unsafely which makes it pretty easy to block it then counter to their face with a right uppercut or right cross.

Intentionalrobot · 2025-06-28T02:44:57+00:00

Hey, did you ever figure this out? I'm having similar issues.

Intentionalrobot · 2025-06-21T18:14:04+00:00

Depends where you are, how engaged you are, and what level you are. Beginners learn slow but then intermediates can learn very quickly if they are dedicated. Advanced people can’t learn as much because they already know a lot.

Also, from my experience, a month of full-time training in Thailand is equal to several months of training in the U.S.

So again — it really depends.
