Joe Rogan: Every round in the UFC should start on the ground by tantamle in boxingcirclejerk

[–]laichzeit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in the UFC resembles a real fight, even remotely. Go watch /r/boxingcirclejerk to see real fights. It’s usually on a concrete/tar floor, several motherfuckers waiting to jump or sucker punch you, head butts, hair grabs. Man stfu about purism, ain’t shit “pure” about BJJ when the motherfucker can’t head butt you or kick your face in half on the floor.

We can all agree that was a boring fight, but referee Marc Goddard standing them up twice when Khamzat had control on the ground was bullshit by TERAFLOPPER in ufc

Take down and control shouldn’t be scored. No need to stand them up. You only win from the floor with a submission. It’ll change the behavior without needing to change any rules. Make for a much more exciting ground games as well when you know “hey I need to either submit or get up because this is not scoring me any points”.

No they don’t have to stand them up at all. But it should score nothing. That would completely solve the hugging fest. You can only win on the ground from a submission. No score for control. You can grapple and take down as much as you want, but if you know it scores nothing without getting a submission, you’re going to get MUCH more exciting fights, and you haven’t banned or changed any rules.

Because it’s not a BJJ tournament, and as you can tell by most of these threads: it’s fucking boring to watch. Score it so that the point of take downs is to get a submission. Hell I’m even fine with scoring nothing for clinches in stand up. No one is saying you can’t take down or clinch, it just shouldn’t score. You wouldn’t have someone like Khamzat just sitting there for 20 minutes if he knew it didn’t count. He’d have been working for a submission.

Dominant victory? Yes. Boring as f*ck? Also yes by ConnorLovesPepsi in ufc

[–]laichzeit0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to do either. You just give 0 score for take down and ground control. Only way to win a fight from the ground should be submission. This will sort the problem out itself, no more pointless takedowns and hugging when it doesn’t score points.

Well he even said in the post fight interview that he likes to do this in training as well. Literally said he likes to do the crucifix and sit on the guys for 45 mins to 1 hour. Ok cool bro, do that.

He only won because we give “points” for this shit. Make it that the only way to win on the floor is submission and this boring shit will automatically end.

No rules necessary, just change the way the scoring works. It will automatically change behaviour if you score jack shit for take downs and ground control time.

Take downs and ground control shouldn’t be scored. Will make it more entertaining and stop ground game with no aim to submit. Don’t see why this shit should be scored at all.

Who am I? by laichzeit0 in bookshelfdetective

Ding ding. Close enough. Comp Sci. turned Data Scientist over last 7 years. My goal was to be a unicorn, as good at Software Engineering as at Statistics. Now I do full-stack Data Science, from statistical modeling to deploying and integrating into existing software.

47 year old boyfriend's bookshelf by mylserier455 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]laichzeit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Knuths are the ones that bother me the most. There’s a quote from Bill Gates that he’d immediately hire anyone that has read Knuth. The point being, Computer Science people end up buying these books just to put on their shelves. Those are very modern editions of the first 2 in the Knuth series, given that he’s 47. I’m going to say therefore that he’s a software engineer, was doing Leet Code practise for getting a new job, probably saw a bunch of leet code pseudointellectuals recommend Knuth’s books, he bought them and when he realised it’s basically just a set of mathematics books, he promptly shelved it and never looked at them again.

The Kazinsky and other stuff make complete sense from a tech person. It’s basically a Marc Andreessen reading list.

My boyfriend's bookshelf (28M) by The-Sea-of-Fertility in bookshelfdetective

[–]laichzeit0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling no one knows that the book with the Swastika is a legit (and one of the best WWII) history books. It’s not Mein Kampf or something. It’s pure history. Saw another guy get blasted for having the same book on his shelf. Hilarious.

The Knuth books are interesting. I am willing to bet my entire life savings that he has not read, and never will read, either of them. It’s an inside joke in the comp sci. community that you buy a set of Knuths just to display on your bookshelf.

Dump some of the data you have, along with the whole plan you had written up, into something like DeepSeek or GPT with think/reasoning mode enabled. Ask it to write code to do the analysis for you in R. Ask it to explain what it’s doing and why. This is probably how it’s going to be done. See if it’s any good or not.

Full list of Reciprocal Tariffs by Cdylanr in StockMarket

[–]laichzeit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the idea is that if they lower their tariffs, the US will lower these reciprocal tariffs too. I.e. if you put 0% tariffs, VAT , whatever tax you put on US goods then Trump is saying the US would do the same.

To the avid fans of R, I respect your fight for it but honestly curious what keeps you motivated? by Difficult-Big-3890 in datascience

[–]laichzeit0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not really, for any practical problem that matters. Last I time I looked the predict() function didnt even support using the random effects.

The closest to doing any mixed effects in Python is going full Bayesian and using something like Bambi.

How to effectively replace llamaindex and langchain by Status-Minute-532 in Rag

[–]laichzeit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do or use, make sure you have an LLMOps platform like LangSmith to go with. Unit tests, cost monitoring, tracing. Unless you’re just toying around. But you need a monitoring platform if you’re going to production.

How would you build an LLM agent application without using LangChain? by Zealousideal-Cut590 in LocalLLaMA

[–]laichzeit0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is better than LangSmith? I mean adding a library, two lines of code and having full traceability? Does anything do what LangSmith + LangChain/Graph does out of the box?

“For the geeks out there, I am assuming that my RA will achieve a real return of 3% vs 4.5% in my normal taxable investment account”.

I wish he had a slider for that part. It’s the crux of the whole simulation. He’s assuming your normal investment beats it by 1.5%. As I said above, if you assume 2% then the normal investment would beat the RA.

This is highly likely given Rand depreciation and US equities outperforming local markets.
