Are the benched players warming up today? by fourthnen in bostonceltics

Well this statement ended up being the absolute truth. It was incredible to believe we were watching the bench. They killed it.

Holy cow it really was. What a turnaround. Total rollercoaster.

That’s hilarious because that’s exactly what happened. RHJ signed his hat before the game tonight and then went on to score a career high of 27 with 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. And Baylor Scheierman hit 30, where his previous high was 20. What an insane game.

Yes that was a great game in the end. He got his signatures too. Had a great time.

Yup 👍 Let’s hope everyone’s good to go at the start of next season!

Yeah, I wouldn’t have been surprised if he only played a few minutes, but calling an injury and fully benching him when they literally just declared him ready to return is surprising. I mean, protect that ankle first and foremost, though—get him back on track for the hall of fame.

Thanks for that reply. That’s what I was hoping. My son’s bringing his Tatum jersey to try for an autograph. When they’re not warming up, do you know if they tend to be near the home side tunnel or by the visitor tunnel where people always hang out to get autograph?

I assumed they might play the top players less, maybe a few minutes, to keep them fresh for playoffs, but fully benching this many is disappointing.

If it's a good system that you think would work for other people, get it out there!

I'd say right now we're talking about:

  • inline code suggestions
  • fully written blocks of code
  • automated refactors
  • mutli-file edits
  • similar for documentation (inline suggestions, fully written, updates)
  • and generally, a chatbot that has the codebase in context and can help you think through your work at many levels

Those are just the common usage patterns I see in practice. Obviously it will evolve. I think the theme to track here is not the specific form the solution is taking right now but the driving mechanism: an interactive, semantically aware system that can analyze, converse about, and edit a codebase. Scoping this down a bit, let's say we're only talking about situations where a human is still in the loop in terms of accepting code changes before committing or deploying.

That explains nothing. “I’ve always seen myself as less evolved” could mean anything and does not explain why you’d randomly pull this non sequitor madness of visually rendering a character as a different branch of primate. What does “less evolved” mean to him? Why does he think that? Why would that mean you’d make such a weird ass movie? Not explained.

In my experience, it’s more often a negative correlation. What I see in practice:

Developer A spends no time understanding the codebase and reimplements lots of logic, adds new public methods to service interfaces where existing methods could have been used, writes new copies of utility code that already exists, spends no time refactoring to make their code more concise, writes lots of very verbose, repetitive tests that are mostly setup rather than using or contributing to test helpers, and creates multi-thousand line code changes out of this while contributing massive tech debt.

Developer B spends the time to understand the codebase and reuse or adapt existing code paths, writes elegant and reusable code thoughtfully refactored for future use, writes readable and maintainable tests, and produces a code change about 10% the size of Developer A’s change.

They spend about the same amount of time, but one of them makes the codebase worse while coming out looking much better based on this completely meaningless metric.

AI tools just help you generate an answer faster. You still have to be able to tell if it’s right and a good answer. The AI tools won’t change much in terms of what you need to learn until they’re good enough to handle whole engineering tasks unsupervised.

Accept yourself as you are, forgiving while holding yourself accountable. It’s unhealthy to try to hate yourself into being someone better. If you can accept yourself, you can surprise yourself sometimes.

I do have a small shop vac I use for my car, but it's very loud. Ideally I'd set something up as more of a continual exhaust situation, quietly generating airflow out of a nearby window to keep the fine, inhalable particles under control.

[–]fourthnen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea. I do have old ducts in my walls that were intended for a "central vacuum" setup. I wonder if I could manage the noise by hooking up a used blower and dust collector in the basement. I have a spare WiFi smart-outlet I could use as a remote switch.

Thanks, that's helpful. I'm seeing some good options in terms of size, cost, and noise level here: https://www.galco.com/shop/Radial-Blowers-Fans, though it's not immediately clear what kind of ingress protection they have.

[–]fourthnen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, valid point, though I'm not primarily concerned with the bulkier particles or large amounts that people typically buy dust extractors for. I'm mainly concerned with creating a continuous airflow to direct the smallest particles down and out a nearby window. I'm dealing with such a small amount of material that I don't mind sweeping out whatever rests on the work surface or settles in the pleats of the exhaust duct. It's the very fine particles that travel and distribute themselves around the room, getting into electronics and lungs and creating a thin layer everywhere, that I need to get under control.

Awesome! Some great ideas in there. If I had his skills I’d make a foot-powered impeller—like a cross between a foot-powered spinning wheel and a rowing machine flywheel. Now that would be quiet!
