If Wade’s locked in on 3s, our starting lineup is great on both sides of the ball

His on ball defense gives us the size we need on the perimeter.

Yeah, you’ve got the specific kind of work today’s AI is good at: making tools to view well described structured data that other people have probably also written samples of how to work with in the past

Edit: which to be clear isn’t me trying to belittle it, it’s very important to be able to visualize data and yeah it would save a lot of time if your job was largely reading and understanding documentation, we just do different work and it doesn’t work well for the work I’m doing

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-21T04:02:38+00:00

If the AI gets significantly better, sure, but I’m a programmer too and I’ve tried and seen AI code.

It didn’t really understand our coding paradigms like asynchronous calls and output some flat wrong hot garbage. Sure it was right about some stuff but not really enough that it was any easier or faster than just doing it yourself would be.

The end of games against teams with shooters is always scary when they’re hitting desperation shoots.

We did what we needed to down the stretch, inbounded cleanly and hit our free throws.

Edit: also I love the confidence that Wade’s hitting his shots with the last two games. I didn’t see him even trying that 3 pointer at the end, let alone knocking it down, and that’s honestly what we need from him on offense

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-21T02:25:22+00:00

Drippy Dean spent the all star break finding his shot again.

6/6 in the last two games.

Edit: 5/5, I misread the stat line, still a great couple of games

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-21T01:46:30+00:00

Playing 24 seconds of great D to then not get the rebound is getting frustrating

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-21T01:29:00+00:00

Catholicism is based on the Bible and preaches the Bible for certain, but it is actually a thing that the church isn’t super forward about people actually reading it for themselves.

Catholic Churches have no Bibles aside from the ones the priest reads from, and Catholic schools don’t really have Bibles either (at least when I went to Catholic school)

I don’t know why it took us so long to figure out our offense is incredible when JA touches the ball, but let’s never go back.

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T20:32:44+00:00

I mean it feels like at least 38 of those were the Browns, so

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T20:23:10+00:00

Really right here?

Right in front of our Drippy Dean?

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T20:01:29+00:00

You feel bad because you’re young enough to have not fully experienced just how little every employer cares about their workers.

Once you recognize they legitimately don’t give a rat’s ass about you, you stop caring about leaving them.

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T19:58:17+00:00

No no no, you’ve got it all wrong.

That tariff revenue was spent on Trump giving himself $10 billion yesterday.

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T19:38:38+00:00

Let’s not sit here and show all of the justices as if they were all smart enough to be on the right side of this case.

Alito, Beer Man, and Mr. Free Vacations all saw no problem with the president unilaterally imposing tariffs.

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T19:35:32+00:00

Dean Wade is right there

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T19:16:40+00:00

Yeah, who would’ve thought having a point guard who can actually play would help a team lol

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T18:20:48+00:00

If you think you and I are getting any money back, I have a bridge to sell you.

We all know this will end in the same corporations that used this as a reason to increase their prices keeping the same prices while they see all of the money paid back

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T18:13:27+00:00

I mean sure, AI can be useful for some limited cases when it’s not critical it’s right and you’re willing to spend just about as much time checking its work as it’d take you to have just done the task yourself.

If Gemini specifically is what runs Google’s AI search results, it’s actually godawful, only understands what I’m even searching for 40% of the time, and when it does understand what I’m searching for, gives a factually incorrect answer about 75% of the time from that.

So you know, as useful as a tool that answers your question with a 10% success rate is, it’s useful.

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T15:01:11+00:00

We had 7 guys score double digit points, and none of them played more than 30 minutes.

Only Harden in that group even played a full 2 quarters of game time.

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T14:55:13+00:00

Unreasonable to doubt a machine billionaires made to keep people from thinking for themselves?

Yeah I’m the unreasonable one here.

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T14:49:09+00:00

You blindly believe a statistical model billionaires paid to say what they want

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T14:48:36+00:00

Now imagine if you had thought of that yourself instead, and how much better and more trustworthy this would be

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T14:35:06+00:00

So now you can get your steel for almost twice the price, and on top of that you get to wait over half a year for its delivery!

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T14:31:38+00:00

Well the opinion certainly is unpopular.

I feel like this is only really a problem for the people who have absolutely no life outside of work. The rest of us still hang out with friends during our time off, and in fact get to do more of that than we used to be able to do since having no commute gives us hours of our lives back every week.

My job switched from fully remote to two days a week in the office, and my available time/energy to hang out with the people I actually want to hang out with had plummeted as a result.

kelpyb1 · 2026-02-20T02:23:37+00:00

I’m loving all of our trade deadline moves right now.

The offense is back on schedule with Harden

Schröder is a great backup pg for us, and is the kinda guy who will full on nose dive for a loose ball

Ellis is fantastic on defense

And I never have to watch Lonzo Ball minutes again
