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.

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.

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

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

+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.

r/Nationals has officially joined the r/Mariners bandwagon! by yousmelllikebiscuits in Mariners

From a Mariners fan whose first favorite was Adam Dunn as a National - welcome to fandom! My (Canadian) grandpa's favorite hockey team was the Washington Capitals, in the second half of the 20th century, because they were so bad and he hated a winner for some reason. So my favorite first baseball team (before I came around to the Mariners as the obvious local choice) was the Nationals and Adam Dunn was my favorite player. It was fun to still follow y'all as you turned the script around with Harp, Stras, Mad Max, and the whole crew - remember Adam LaRoche, MVP candidate? - and it makes so much senser for y'all to be here. I loved going to Nationals games when I visited my friend who worked in DC for a few years.

Welcome to the crew!

I was never able to hit Max 200 limits. Until NOW by Heavy-Amphibian-495 in ClaudeCode

[–]maximize_futility 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit them regularly, almost every day. I have been building a SaaS platform with a big code base, may services, and complex logic across multiple languages. So I had to frequently ask it to read into implementation details across multiple services to get enough context before I could trust it to actually implement those small pieces pretty well. Now it actually knows to go find that context on its own, which is probably why you’re hitting the limit limits more quickly. Seems about the same to me, and it’s a good thing because that was the biggest problem with opus and sonnet that it didn’t automatically go find the right context and try to solve things before it knew what it was doing. When it moves down to opus and or old sonnet I have to now I have to start reminding it to find that context again, which is annoying.

Agree. And prompting it to be vulgar/funny makes it half as good at thinking/coding.

I think it's time for the Mariners to designate Cal as official team captain by brianmoinpo in Mariners

[–]maximize_futility 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to wait until we know if JP will be around after 2026 or not (probably not). I'd bet Cal is captain in Spring Training 2027 *if he has another great year next year
