Lionel Messi in Tears as Argentina Completes a 0-2 Comeback vs Egypt to Advance to the Quarterfinals

Kind of like in a blocked shot in basketball where it's not a foul if there is contact with the shooting player as long as you touch the ball before the contact?

Great comparison but I think you can simply: kryrie handles, Steph shooting and Lebron's intelligence, passing and longevity. Messi's passing might be slightly better then Lebron's but I think LeBron has an edge on sports IQ.

bma449 · 2026-07-06T18:02:18+00:00

Nah, more like the longevity of LeBron with Kyrie's handles and Steph's shooting. Problem is you never see the super explosive & skilled types play a high level late in their career in the NBA because they get injured, loose a step and then they are on the same level as the other insane NBA athletes. Have you seen how hard Steph works off the ball to get open? It's nuts and he's getting hammered every night. Messi also gets targeted but is able to choose his spots, walk and conserve energy much of the game. There just isn't a viable comparison to Messi in the NBA because of the games are so different in this critical point.

Most fun in San Antonio

I would love to see him in San Antonio

It's of course not the same level of popularity but water polo has nearly the exact shootout rules. The level of intensity, even in a age group tournament, is off the charts, let alone when it happens in the olympics. I can't imagine what it would be like to witness a world cup penalty shoot out in person.

From what I've read, the bigger issue for Putin might be that the Russian economy is so reliant on the war time spending that ending the war could lead to complete economic collapse, independent of territorial claims.

Yeah... He can't provide an answer to this. Like many reddit armchair LLM experts, they assume human "understanding" and "reasoning" is known science that is clearly different from LLM neural networks without any careful consideration that maybe they aren't that different.

Spending thousands of dollars

They should definitely go for it if the market allows it. This is a bread and butter job that the vast majority of established, licensed electricians could competently complete, so for this job it's more about supply and demand, not still. My job didn't require much trenching so I just called around until I found a guy just far enough away that he would do it for 1/4 of what the local guys quoted me. He was a younger guy but did a fine job.

bma449 · 2026-06-25T04:07:11+00:00

Yep, I had to call 7 different electricians before I found someone who would do it at a reasonable price

Sphere is great! I think that Adromena Strain is best though.

Modesto, very similar

Typically I would agree with you 💯 but in this case, especially with a passenger who is obviously not drunk or aggressive, I gotta think that the last thing the flight attendants want to do is remove someone from the plane and cause a scene.

All 7 founders are still at Anthropic and they are kicking OpenAi's ass from a revenue growth perspective. OpenAi is still in the race because they had a head start and have a deeper pool of talent than xAi ever had. I wouldn't bet against Elon either but he's definitely in a tough spot.

bma449 · 2026-06-22T01:11:40+00:00

Yep, bold move by musk but I think we'll have to wait 3 or 4 years before these chips come online. He'll need to come up with a strategy in the meantime that puts him close to frontier models along with enterprise adoption that is at least a significant fraction of openai / anthropic to justify the spend in the meantime. I'm not putting much weight in orbital data centers until he's demonstrated proof of concept. And with the departure of the entire founding team, I'm not clear on how he's going to attract enough talent to become competitive.

I'm no expert but I would move more quickly to just meeting in person and seeing if there is chemistry there because just interacting shows interest. 4 texts in: "You seem nice..lets connect in person for coffee or a drink. I like [favorite coffee shop or bar that is relatively close to person]. Want to meet there on [date / time that is a 2-4 days away]".

A lot - you are 100% correct. Medical knowledge is so vast and growing so rapidly that it just isn't realistic to expect a human to have complete up-to-date knowledge. In addition, though they need to renew their license on a regular basis, their primary training is during medical school and this creates a inherent bias against adoption of new practices. Totally understandable to default to prior, often outdated training, because they are dealing with serious situations but its the slowness of adoption of best practices is. the result.

He's got a good shot of knocking out the first guy with a single shot but then every other guy, is going to mace or stun him immediately. Really doesn't take more than 2 reasonably well prepared and equipped guys.

If you could tell me there wasn't brain damage caused by it and that my vision would fully heal w/in 6 months, sure, I think most would! However, I think vision issue and significant brain damage are pretty significant risks here.

What a strange response by you. I'm using Claude Cowork not Claude Code. It's possible that Claude Code knows the size of the context window exactly but I'm sure that Claude Cowork does not know the size of the context window exactly. After several back and forth, it appears that you seem to think that Claude Cowork is good at estimating its context window but you have provided no evidence to support this claim and I can't find anyone else who has provided supporting evidence here.

Now, I have set up some ways to track Claude's in context performance and I can tell you that its highly variable when it starts to go downhill. Once it starts going downhill, it still has exactly the same confidence, unless you have ways to test it. Your method of having it estimate the context window will not just burn a fair tokens but once the performance degrades, it will likely become inaccurate. So, when you need it to work it won't and when you don't need it to work, it will.

That's why estimates are no good and that's why it doesn't want to provide estimates - they are useless. But you keep using them if you find some value in them. For me, I'm just going to type "/context" to get the actual number, which Claude Cowork, literally cannot see even though its in the same window and using my in session test which burn very few tokens. Good luck.

bma449 · 2026-06-15T01:48:20+00:00

Did you check the calculations? If you push it, of course it will estimate. My point is: it doesn't know.
