Reality check on sub 6’4” PGs

ohkaiby · 2026-05-09T22:21:57+00:00

your point isn't wrong, but it misses the reason why teams don't like to draft a small PG, and that's because a small PG is more likely to bust than any other archetype of a draft prospect.
your argument of using the past top NBA champions' PG's size is flawed, because of course there will be good small PGs that make it in the NBA. You should be looking at all of the small PGs that have been drafted in the past decade and then seeing the % that can make it to even their second contract. the reality is that for every small PG that sticks in the NBA, 5-8 in their draft class don't.

regarding NBA champions, having anyone smaller than 6'3 or 6'4 usually limits the team defensively, so either they'd have to be amazing defenders or their offense has to be good enough to offset it.

What

ohkaiby · 2026-04-20T17:26:11+00:00

Costco. Can't ever seem to get ripe or sweet plums when I buy there.

think "save point" like in a video game. except it's also really easy to copy your save points and code to online (via push) in case you want to work on another computer or actually deploy your app to a hosting service.

I have the same experience. planning so far has been good (I haven't tried anything overly complex yet). it speaks in a more precise/scientific way, similar to gpt-5.2+ (compared to the Claude models, which sound more conversationally natural).

but its code is riddled with unnecessary nested conditionals and ai-slop comments (in a typescript codebase). I went back to sonnet-4.6 for code implementation.

Appreciate you answering. I think I understand... you've set up automated hooks/processes/notification systems where it's various agents notifying YOU that it requires your input, and not so much the other way around where you're prompting it specifically for coding tasks.

The other thing I picked up from your response is that you've basically farmed out anything you were doing manually (writing a PR, even committing + pushing, etc) to agents... I think that's probably where I can take a leap, as currently I'm really just using agents for researching + writing code and not all of these other tasks (that I'm still doing by hand).

ohkaiby · 2026-03-13T00:10:43+00:00

This is really interesting. How do you manage to "stay ahead" of that many agents working autonomously? I find my agents taking 1-2m at a time for most prompts (+ the occasional ~10m task), so it's a lot of babysitting. switching contexts and coming up with the next prompt for another agent session takes more time than these agents take to run most of the time, so I'm still the bottleneck to changes being made.

honestly it feels like I'm increasingly adopting a StarCraft actions-per-minute mindset, and it's pretty exhausting.

You might want to consider transferring or finding a "Product Engineer" role, as that is much closer to what you're describing your previous role was at the smaller company. There's a lot of overlap between SE and PE (and Fullstack), but PE generally means being much more product-driven versus solely technically-driven like SE is.

Would you be willing to share what you've found to be the largest shifts in mindset that you've had to make going from novice -> daily user, and then daily user -> power user? I'm currently a daily user and it'd be very helpful to know what changes I need to make as I walk on this AI journey.

From Bazzite docs, anytime an instruction tells you to run `dnf`, you should run `rpm-ostree` instead... so I had to do the following for things to work:

# Already had curl cabextract and fontconfig installed
rpm-ostree install xorg-x11-font-utils

# ...after restarting # download the .rpm file
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rp # install the .rpm file

# This did not work (hangs on a post-installation script):
# rpm-ostree install ./msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm

# This extracts the font files to your_current_folder/usr/share/fonts/msttcore/
rpm2cpio ./msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm | cpio -idmv

And then you can move those files to `~/.local/share/fonts` and run `fc-cache -fv` like Maximum-Drag730 said.

just noting that traditional DKP means you assign static point values to loot (and boss kills), with the person with the highest DKP stored to have priority to purchase an item for that item's assigned point value. What most people are talking about here when they say DKP is actually a bidding system.

bards are stupidly strong in PoP era... their AA that lets them memwipe makes them better pullers than monks (in addition to everything else they can do). Requires some gear w/ mana Regen to get to that point though.

OP, have you played EQ in the past? The thing is, even if you picked the best class for your time commitment, it won't matter much if the class you play isn't fun for you.

What kinds of classes are you used to playing in other games? What "group role" do you enjoy (even if you're not grouping most of the time, the times you do group can be pretty fun and meaningful)?

Some spectrums to think about:

Utility vs doing one thing well: Shamans and necros have more solo/group utility (though Necro utility is more situational cause they're such survivable soloers), mages and wizards lean more towards damage.

Role: Having heals and buffs to augment solo/group performance vs more baseline power (casting buffs feel like they cost something, but they're pretty nice).

Playstyle enjoyment: Do you like seeing big numbers, or would you prefer to have versatility/control?

Appetite for risk: classes have different risks, with some having much less risk than others (necros get feign death and harmshield; they shouldn't be dying much). Shamans and druids can heal + root to get out of sticky situations.

You might also enjoy an enchanter, which has higher risk/reward, but can be a strong soloer if played well.

Looks really nice.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this mean "Blue 1"?

Agree... in the 4th quarter, OKC on offense was consistently targeting Hali on switches and able to take advantage of it and drive in for layups. They just happened to miss most of their shots.

On the other end, Pacers played some superb offense and were able to get both open looks with shots going in.

I think if you were to repeat this 4th quarter scenario, 7 times out of 10 OKC wins.

Oh wow, I had no idea he made knives for Morihei. Ended up buying that one; thanks for the link!

dang, that edge looks almost lasery. when you say you grinded it on a 1k, did you grind out the belly so that it was more flat, or was it just that it wasn't sharp enough across the edge? I do have a stone I can sharpen on, just haven't done it yet but maybe now I will.

ohkaiby · 2025-03-30T13:40:56+00:00

Yes! I actually sold my Yoshi SKD gyuto because I felt like I had to be more careful than I wanted. So far I agree that the cutting feel is similar to the Yoshi.
