You will stand where Manfred demands on defense or you will be incinerated.

okay but you don't get an extremely valuable piece of paper for completing your workout or your lunch.

I think the Mets might just draw straws for coaches every year at this point.

More proof that you should never publicly make a prediction.

The Year the Fu
Prediction of the year, 1995: Internet
'will soon go spectacularly supernova'
The Internet's emergence into mainstream consciousness in 1995
was met no small amount of skepticism and eye-rolling. It was all
overhyped, critics said. A distraction.
Notable among the skeptics was astrophysicist Clifford Stoll
whose 1995 book, Silicon Snake Oil, offered such predictions
about the digital world as:
"I don't believe that phone books, newspapers, magazines, or
corner video stores will disappear as computer networks spread.
Nor do I think that my telephone will merge with my computer,
to become some sort of information appliance."
And this howler: "Video-on-demand, that killer application of
communications, will remain a dream."
But the most spectacular, off-the-mark
prediction of the year 1995 had to be that of Bob
Metcalfe, the multimillionaire inventor of
Ethernet technology and founder of 3Com
Corporation. He also was publisher of
InfoWorld, for which he wrote a weekly column
Metcalfe (UT-Austin)
called "From the Ether."
In the issue of Infoworld dated December 4, 1995 - 20 years
ago tomorrow - Metcalfe wrote that the Internet "will soon go
spectacularly supernova and in 1996 will collapse." He identified

But can I bring it to an interview?

probably with cheese? Maybe a strip of bacon?

I have nothing against Freddy. the Mets staff who screwed him up on the other hand ....

no it didn't. you did.

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

honestly asking AI isn't much different than just asking some talking head blowhard like Mike Francesa. FrancesaGPT said take the Cowboys defense, so I will!

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

so I have to do research now? I have to read a dozen other articles to see if I want to subscribe to this one? The point isn't that we can pay for stuff we care about, the point is we won't FIND new content to pay for behind a paywall. I'll read one of the non-paywalled things.

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Bottom line is if it's paywalled, we'll never know if it's even worth putting money towards it. """It sucks for us so we'll make it suck for you so we can extract every last dollar." is not the answer. Hard not to see paywalls as exactly what private equity is doing.

so like how no one hated AI in 2020 when the images weren't as good and the sentences were clunky without a lot of good data?

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

and I'm sure no one hated that you did that

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

yes, and people hated it.

it makes the crappy iPhone photos look better cause filters. Since they caught up it's been less useful, and now it's just Meta's form of algorithmic control.

idiot twitter reply guys aside, the world would be infinitely better with more people fiddling with local machine learning models and less Catholic Church.

those are the two of them yes

I'd rather have Polanco learn second than have Semien there.

what an ironically binary way to look at it.

notice the pigeon didn't bring an ice coffee?

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

arguably they should've replaced him preseason anyway. But I don't think fans had much passion left for the season to really care much past when he left anyway.

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

they played crappy afterwards too, so probably should've just ridden it out and done a thorough search afterwards

Imagine being able to watch this MLB playoff game.

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Also when the job is "Who are we? Applied AI for liquidity." and they make me click 'I am not a robot'. Wouldn't you want a robot? feels like you're limiting the talent pool. Plus robots don't drink iced coffee, which is the clearest sign someone can't do the job.

When random tech jobs ask if I have a drivers license (hybrid in NYC) I really question things.

.. but data centers are hot right now and we can have them upgrade water treatment plants that benefit us all

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

only way he can justify keeping Marcus Semien on the team next year. Which is a mistake, but easier to change a slogan than a broken evaluation process.

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

wish someone would ask Stearns about Alonso's career year, was that not in the spreadsheet? or was 2026 never a serious year for the Mets so it didn't matter?

David Stearns on if he would've handled the Pete Alonso case differentl..
"Truth is, in this job, I don't get mulligans. I alsc recognize there's an emotional attachment to certain players who were here for a long time. We iust don't have a nostalgia column on our spreadsheets..'

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

What a pathetic Mets season. There's stuff to dream on for next year at least, though hard to have much faith in this leadership group. Can't lose a game for months at least!

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

No, they just hate you. And the product sucks? no one really complained about cameras in glasses before, the product has just failed over and over again but oh, just needs a reskin right?

Taking two iced coladas to my next job interview and seeing what happens.

It's not a laying people off machine, that's just capitalism. Just make sure you extract as many concessions from them as possible, green energy, water treatment, etc.

Ceetar @ceetar.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

and they do long division fine! (and almost no one was ever gung ho about doing it, even 40 years ago!) I personally do not have my daughter's phone number memorized though. I do intend to do that..
