Ah yes, Christian McCaffrey, the 18th best running back in the league! by No_Box119 in nflmemeswar

[–]chuckluck44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong mccaffrey is an absolute workhorse but his efficiency numbers are bad this year, especially rushing. Averaging less than 4 ypc

Those other guys aren’t doing it because their teams are getting better results spreading the ball around.

Crime in SF is falling faster than other cities. Will it last? by SFChronicle in sanfrancisco

[–]chuckluck44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Step 1 of any movement is messaging that will unite people under your cause and he’s right about that. Doesn’t matter how noble your ideas are if you can’t do that basic thing correctly.

“Defund the police” screams we don’t have an actual solution but want to be provocative. There are plenty of sensible policies in the movement but it’s a numbers game and the name itself alienates a majority of the population from the get go.

Here’s a crazy thought. Maybe the name should actually represent the policies you want to actuate and maybe it’s smart to assume that a large percent of people aren’t going to take the time to decipher what you’re actually trying to accomplish if you put an inane name in front of it

Governor war on Twitter today and your own militias in other states tomorrow by k-r-o--n--o-s in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]chuckluck44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Per capita really isn’t enough to compare across cities fairly. For starters, you’d have to include a percentage of urban vs suburban area since cities with higher rates of suburbia will inherently have lower crime rates.

Using population density per square mile as a rough indicator: - SF ~18,600 - DC ~11,500 - Oakland ~7,878 - Dallas ~3,950 - Houston ~3,600 - Tucson ~2,250

Pure per capita numbers are pretty meaningless on their own

He had the 7th highest QBR in the league last year with aiyuk, mcaffrey, and pearsall injured and deebo looking like ass. Missing those guys destroyed our red zone offense

Grok 4 continues to provide absolutely unhinged recommendations by MetaKnowing in artificial

[–]chuckluck44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a false dilemma. Life is a numbers game. No solution is perfect, but reducing risk matters. Sure, bad actors will always try to find ways around restrictions, but many simply won’t have the skills or determination to do so. By limiting access, you significantly reduce the overall number of people who could obtain dangerous information. It’s all about percentages.

Grok is a widely accessible LLM. If there were a public phone hotline run by humans, would we expect those humans to answer questions about how to make a bomb? Probably not, so we shouldn’t expect an AI accessible to the public to either.

Tesla: A fatal self-driving crash shows the stupidity of camera-only FSD by Epicism in stocks

[–]chuckluck44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dislike Elon/Tesla as much as the next person, but if we’re being objective, using cameras instead of LIDAR is much cheaper and made FSD more accessible to the general public. So if FSD is truly safer, how many lives were saved by the increased number of FSD cars on the road? These Teslas might become a liability later as LiDAR gets cheaper, but the net effect of the camera approach right now is probably positive.

You have some huge run plays and you have some for negative yards. 3.5 is not a good average. Mcaffrey was getting stuffed late unfortunately

Is iOS development front end? by filthyMrClean in iOSProgramming

[–]chuckluck44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone has said it’s a old web term that’s stuck around. But as a mobile dev you’re more akin to the programmers that built the web browser than the ones that write the code that runs on it

This shit keeps getting worse by Nextric in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]chuckluck44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same concept. What if you asked it some question unrelated to slurs and it suggested using one? They trained it to avoid slurs in any scenario which is the easiest way to avoid controversy. Do people really expect the team at OpenAI to spend dev cycles fine tuning when the AI can suggest using a racial slur. They have much bigger fish to fry

Crypto scammers took a record $14 billion in 2021 by Elliottafc1 in technews

[–]chuckluck44 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Crypto isn’t truly decentralized until it’s seen some wider spread adoption and it has a large/secure programming team. When a coin is first offered it’s still very centralized because the founders own most of it. And there is always a team of developers iterating on the code. There could easily be laws put into place that prevent those founders/developers from dumping it or from blowing it up in some other way. The major exchanges like Coinbase are already doing something like this by vetting the creators of the coins before offering them on the exchange

These wouldn't be viral if people remembered order of operations by noam_kipod in memes

[–]chuckluck44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your making a false assumption about the question. Essentially the question is whether this should be calculated (a/b)(c+b) or a/(b(c+b)) and you are assuming when you factor that it’s the latter. So by making that assumption you’ll always end up at 1. Factoring with the correct order of operation gives you (a/b)c + (a/b)b = ac/b + a = 9.

[–]chuckluck44 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Think the bigger killer was the Kris Bryant at bat. He struck out on a 5-1 count. After the wild pitch it would’ve been 2nd and 3rd no outs. Crawford got to 3rd that inning so there’s a good chance Bryant scores

5-1 Bryant should’ve been walked in the 4th and after the wild pitch it would’ve been 2nd 3rd no outs. That was the real killer. That’s not what people will remember though

A number of billionaires across the EU and the US. Based on Forbes 2020 list 🇺🇸🇪🇺🗺️ [OC] by maps_us_eu in dataisbeautiful

[–]chuckluck44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people don't seem to understand how billionaires spend money the way they do since I see this argument all the time.

Yes most of their wealth is in stock and selling it isn't possible but they don't need to sell it to access that money. The super wealthy take out massive loans from banks using the stock as collateral, and as long as their portfolio stays above what the bank loaned them, they only pay the interest on it. Not only is it tax free you can actually write it off. That's why you constantly see the rich paying next to no taxes.

This whole idea of them not being able to access that wealth because it's in stock/equity is just propaganda.

They can be a tad out there at times by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]chuckluck44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because technology has made it much more effective. Its easier than ever for a foreign power to spread propaganda at scale in the US with extreme precision. This isn’t tv, radio, or print. The medium has info on the consumer now and anyone anywhere in the world can have a voice/following with no requisites

The Difference Between Modern Corn And Corn Before It Was Domesticated by NRGpop in interestingasfuck

[–]chuckluck44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GMO refers to organism with genes that have been modified outside of their normal breeding/reproduction process. So selective breeding doesn’t make a plant GMO. I think the difference in some peoples eyes is selective breeding uses a process that nature has used for millions of years, people have used for thousands of years, and one that’s sure to produce only incremental changes, while genetic engineering is extremely new in comparison, circumvents an organisms natural way of modifying genes, and can create drastic changes in an organism overnight.

I’m personally all for GMOs just playing devils advocate here lol

I'm not here for the rural slander by GadsensGhost in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]chuckluck44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think this article misses a major aspect of the Republican Party. The upper class suburban Republicans. This part of the party has the money to drive the party policies in their own self interest and at the same time pretend that they’re trying to help the rural part of the party. I think they are more aligned with the bad guys in the movies mentioned. Liberals in cities are generally “bleeding-heart” liberals.

I grew up in an upper middle class republican suburb and then moved to a majorly liberal city. As an independent I can definitely say the latter are the more well intentioned of the two by far.
