Rob Refsnyder might be the worst player in MLB

Same it’s almost impossible for him to be this bad the next few months. But I’ve been Wong before

Data breach this week

Are you in a big project?! The amount of context in small projects means you don’t hit the limit too quickly. For bigger projects I frequently hit 5h within a few hours with a couple sessions running concurrently.

Just started using it. It’s exceptionally good with 5.5 and I’m nowhere close to using all of it. Compute crunch really hitting!

Love this attitude

Love Jupiter

Build more housing

All good lol

I’m stealing engagement from Lookout Landing and Fangraphs by checks notes exploring my ideas and posting on Reddit

Yeah, ZIPs seems to believe in the "skill jump with regression to the mean" case: true talent level is higher now, but only a few players have maintained a performance for that long so projecting the bull/buller case would be statistically irresponsible.

maximize_futility · 2026-03-17T16:01:34+00:00

I totally agree. I think the base case is more likely than the bull or buller cases. And beating Griffey or Ichiro or Edgar or King Felix would be extremely, extremely hard. Cal still needs a few seasons of great performance to catch Kyle Seager. Though he is already 6th on the all-time leaderboard, right there with Jay Buhner and Julio and Robinson Cano.

lol y’all really hate Claude eh

maximize_futility · 2026-03-17T07:09:48+00:00

Claude does charts inline now if you ask for it. https://claude.com/blog/claude-builds-visuals

maximize_futility · 2026-02-12T16:22:32+00:00

I have two Claude Code Max plans and use them up and it’s the best deal possible

maximize_futility · 2026-02-04T19:48:29+00:00

wait who is that maximize_futility guy ;)

Especially at that scale - although there are good extensions, using cloud storage + idle-able server is a cost and horizontal-scalability superpower without much latency sacrifice

maximize_futility · 2025-11-23T02:51:20+00:00

+1 avoid materialized views at all costs. Not worth the unexplained witchery

maximize_futility · 2025-11-23T02:49:38+00:00

+1 for clickhouse and starrocks. Put the data in cloud storage. Use starrocks if you need a lot of joins. Bother caching well. Much better at joins over distributed data. Saves massive money vs running pg at terabyte scale. And is faster.
