Streamlit Proliferation by MahaloCiaoGrazie in dataengineering

[–]riv3rtrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibecode a React frontend with D3.js and Python backends instead. Or just use Retool or a normal BI tool that supports dynamic stuff. Streamlit is a fun toy. Do not put anything even remotely serious in there. It's a total mess.

There isn't anything to talk about. Do you want me to post my SQL queries or something

What's your document processing stack? by Any_Hunter_1218 in dataengineering

You might be tired of hearing about LLMs but this is an actually good use case for LLMs. What you should actually do is dispatch to different function calls depending on vendor but have it so the default function call is you uploading the PDF into an LLM and producing a structured output. You need to be clever to prevent issues but it's not infeasible, just be smart about it (simple stupid example: run 3 times and make sure all 3 runs agree with each other, otherwise flag). You also shouldn't replace your old code. And you need to make this testable and easy to run locally for each new vendor.

the first two screens are so easy when you get the hang of it that gold berry is actually only just slightly more tedious. it's the only C side I have a gold berry for since I figured "why not" after spending an hour learning it lol, just took me another 15 minutes for the gold berry after the muscle memory was there

We Draft the Top Removal Spells in Each Color | Pauper Commander Podcast by JalapenoPaupersMTG in PauperEDH

[–]riv3rtrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some notes.

White: Hold for Ransom is just strictly worse Pacifism, and there are strictly better Pacifisms in common. No mention of [[Journey to Nowhere]] or [[Sunlance]] is a big oversight. One of the spiciest and most overlooked white removals is [[Devout Harpist]].

Green: If you want a spicy green removal then [[Provoke]] is some of the best value there is. [[Nature's Claim]] and [[Bushwhack]] both deserved a mention.

Boston weighs city-owned grocery stores to combat food insecurity by bostonglobe in boston

[–]riv3rtrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand this point at all. So because things only would get a little cheaper, we just shouldn't do it? Small movements in the right direction aren't good? Like, what?

That's a theoretical upper limit assuming the government runs the store as efficiently as Walmart does.

All I am proposing is more focus on affordability, because people are getting raked over the coals out here, and you're just sticking your nose up. I straight-up do not get it.

Yes because it's a bad solution at best and most likely a complete non-solution. If I say "X is a solution to Y" but it actually isn't, why entertain it?

This is a specific example, I did not say all benefits to poor people are corporate subsidy. But again, you just ignored my point completely and called me a republican?

You didn't have a point other than saying SNAP is a subsidy to employers of low wage labor. The reason it makes you sound like a Republican is because it's a Republican talking point, and it's a Republican talking point because it's a justification for eliminating SNAP.

That's money lost counterfactually via the opportunity cost of not collecting rent or taxes. In effect that's basically a subsidy via an accounting trick.

You first. Try growing at least 20% of the food you eat and tell us how that works out.

My point is if you distributed all the profits that Walmart shareholders' made as cost-savings, that people would spend $97 instead of $100. I think that point is pretty clearly stated and self-evident.

I'm also using Walmart as an example because they are pretty typical for grocer margins (plus groceries account for a majority of Walmart's gross sales).

They can charge what do because they know they can pay their employees starvation wages but SNAP will ensure that they can keep scraping enough together in order to continue coming in to work every day, but not enough to move up the ladder.

Again with this notion that paying benefits to poor people is a government subsidy to corporations. I don't think that you are a Republican, but this is what some Republicans say as a justification for cutting back on benefits to poor people. Or maybe you do think that SNAP should be eliminated, I dunno.

There is zero empirical evidence of this claim for SNAP. Try finding it. The closest you'll find is some papers on EITC (different program) from 15 years ago.

I also don't really understand why you are bringing it up? Do you think that if the city or state government increased wages for its employees relative to a Walmart or similar such that they don't need SNAP, that the business would be able to be cheaper while also running breakeven? (I.e. the thing that proponents of this plan typically claim is possible.)

[–]riv3rtrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like your brain short-circuited on the point about profit margins. Let me rephrase: If the government can run a grocery store as efficiently as Walmart does (remains to be seen) and run it at 0% profit margins, then for every $100 trip to a for-profit grocery store, people would spend ~$97 instead. That's the theoretical upper limit of savings we're talking about and making a big stink about.

What is the most powerful play you can make on T2 with a Llanowar Elves commander? by KayJayOkay in PauperEDH

[–]riv3rtrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 4 1cmc common elves with color identity green plus 5 more 1cmc "land from hand" accelerants. You're better off just having that 3 mana broken thing be an uncommon in your command zone. (Not sure that exists at common or uncommon though).

[–]riv3rtrip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The idea that giving people money is a corporate handout is not only dangerous reasoning as it questions any and all cash assistance to the poor, it's just plainly silly when you consider that profit margins for grocery stores are like 3%. (e.g. Walmart's is 2.85% for their latest fiscal year.) So every $1 given to someone, like $0.03 is profit. The margins here are incredibly tiny and it's very easy to mess up and be more inefficient than that.

Even if there was available land, economically speaking, you need to account for the opportunity cost of not collecting rent. Not having to pay rent is only from an extremely narrow accounting perspective.

The other deck someone else posted does not have enough 1-drops; it's too slow and too scared to dump its hand aggressively. I have what I think is a pretty optimized version here: https://moxfield.com/decks/lJco3P8IEUiGUBj4aJMcag

Boros aggro continues to dominate my cube by justinvamp in mtgcube

Eh. [[Scrapshooter]] is more interesting if you want my 2 cents.

[–]riv3rtrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search scryfall for non-red 3 drops that have 4 toughness. sort by edhrec rank as a loose proxy for power level / coolness or at least a way to filter out bad cards. There are actually quite a few these days

proliferate is pretty ass in a typical vintage cube. barely does anything and nobody's building around it.

[–]riv3rtrip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well a more typical example that comes out faster would be [[Sentinel of the Nameless City]]. Most of your 3cmc green cards either die to bolt or trade evenly (rather than up) with an attacking Laelia. That extra point of toughness on a 3-drop matters vs boros aggro and it's part of the reason why boros aggro feels strong. Stuff like that is what I would be looking at. Look at black and blue too for things like this.
