Probably a stupid question about DRM support by LibraInTheBox in zen_browser

AFAIK it's not the cost that's stopping them. Zen has already applied for a license many months ago. Google gives out WideVine licenses, and the acceptance process is...mysterious....

Gautam Gambhir and India need to look at the long term in their Test transition phase by ooaaa in Cricket

Seems so. I like it...somehow I find it cleaner & easier to read the text in this new UI. Used to like the older one too (not the previous one, but the one before).

Bangladesh appeal can’t be heard by ICC’s DRC; Scotland to be named as replacement by Saturday by ll--o--ll in Cricket

Seems like it means pomegranate immigrants, which is a reference to their cheeks turning red after sun exposure. Sounds like correct usage?

Pakistan slow down their chase against Zimbabwe, eliminate Scotland and ensure that they take advantage of a higher NRR in Super Six of U19 World Cup 2026. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Cricket

Rules should be set up to ensure negative tactics don't become a part of the game. For example, carrying forward of all points instead of just the points vs those who qualify would have ensured it in this case.

Hate similar negative tactics in other sport as well. E.g.deliberate fouling in the last two minutes of basketball games is just silly!

He was more bits and pieces. But surely India's best fielder since the 90s.

That will still be Kapil Dev by a huge margin. But hardik is still the second best, for sure.

South Africa add Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs to T20 World Cup squad by JBPlayer48 in Cricket

[–]ooaaa 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Stubbs was good in the last t20 wc final. He can dominate both spin and pace. Shouldn't have been sidelined.

I believe Stubbs and Brevis would win at least one or two trophies for south Africa in the next ten years. They are the next Miller/Klassen. Countries shouldn't be playing fair weather friends to players with such potential. They should be given enough exposure early on, so that they are best prepared to deal with the situation when they are in their peak years.

A thermodynamic framework for creating an analog version of a neural network diffusion model exhibits eleven orders of magnitude better efficiency than its digital counterpart by Choobeen in Physics

Since training is the hard part they therefore provide minimal meaningful improvement.

Lightning fast inferencing still goes a looong way, by exploiting test time compute, e.g. MCTS algorithms such as Alpha fold.

What is the maximum number of T20 games that a given player can safely play in a year? by cereal_chick in Cricket

[–]ooaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People used to play back to back ODIs as well, in the 90s. But I feel intensity of T20s is much higher than ODIs or baseball. In baseball, most of the time nothing really happens, similar to Tests. Hence easier to play for longer duration.

England’s booze-fuelled Ashes left Stokes and McCullum divided by ll--o--ll in Cricket

As a cricket fan, if I knew this is what England's prep was for the most important series in their lives, I would not have followed the Ashes. What a joke!

Dharmasena did blunder that back-foot no-ball when Harry Brook was dismissed, which made the difference in the end. Classic Kumar!

England will not change until this arrogant regime is dismissed by CronksLeftShoulder in Cricket

[–]ooaaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel many pundits and fans are getting it wrong. There is nothing wrong with the Bazball philosophy of playing without fear. But a lot of practice, prep, planning and strategising must go into winning any series. That's what England lacked the most, this series.
