mef commented on MLB approves robot umpires for 2026 as part of challenge system espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/4... · Posted by u/pseudolus
They had this during spring training and it was fantastic. The challenge limit meant it was used rarely, but when it was used it added a fun dramatic element. Players getting to stick it to umpires when they got it wrong, and umpires getting to smirk at players when they got it right.
And at the end of it all, some missed calls get to be corrected.
Wasn't the "mixture of experts" a big thing in late 2023? The idea was that a vendor has a number of LLMs fine-tuned for specific tasks, none necessarily better than other, and that they applied heuristics to decide which one to rope in for which queries.
this is a different idea
My girlfriend recently got into making sourdough and wanted to keep a log of all her recipes. She really wanted to explore the relationships between recipe water percentage and crumb density, or proof time and oven spring, for example. I built her https://sourdoughchronicle.com - a local first bread journal that allows peer to peer recipe and results sharing. Claude + aider had a MVP built in an hour and she's loving it! Oddly enough the comparison charts haven't made it in yet, but that's the next feature on the the to-do list.
nice I'm gonna use this!
Just sharing random coffee break thoughts... it always blows my mind is how many people _don't_ think like this. When base conditions improve for society, the conditions improve for _everyone_ regardless if they directly benefit you.
I'm also in the boat where I don't have kids, but I'd also like to live in a place that has educated people - so schools make perfect sense to me. Heck, even if I didn't benefit from it, providing children education is just the gosh-darn right thing to do.
"these benefit everyone including those who don't use them directly! how could you be against it?"
"this money that I'm having to pay is either overpaid to corrupt vendors, or just straight wasted, why would we ever want to increase how much we're paying into this system?"
in reality you can't have one without the other. it's up to each person to decide whether they can take the bad with the good
