Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Especially with the strong correlation between CTE and depression. I have nothing but respect for players that leave on their own terms. 020
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Does it count as a full sack when it's against Trevor Penning? 000
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 29/09/2026After Padres I like the White Sox. Only rooting against the Dodgers/Yankees 🤝 010
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Chargers defense is good and offense is mediocre does not seem like what my eyes have been reporting. Defense was good last week though. 001
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think in part because these LLMs are fantastic at hacking and we live in a world heavily dependent on the internet. If the creators cannot control them, what is going to happen when black hats set them off maliciously? 000
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Had a job interview once where we gave one of those wonderlic tests. I left the room and said 'Ok, go ahead.' The test said wait until the proctor tells you to turn the page to begin, she followed directions. Came back fifteen minutes later and she had nothing. Hired her a day later. 001
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Outside of McConkey, Chargers receivers are just not getting separation. Still a little mystified they let Keenan go... 000
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 22/09/2026lol, reminded me of when they did this. www.businessinsider.com/amazons-just...businessinsider.comAmazon's Just Walk Out technology relies on hundreds of workers in India watching you shopAmazon promoted Just Walk Out as AI-powered cashierless technology. But the tech reportedly relied on workers in India for accuracy. 051
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026That's excellent, so excited to see McDaniel's offense after watching Roman's. And I didn't watch to many Dolphin games, but it seemed like they left money on the table because Tua didn't have the arm to hit guys in stride on deep balls. 020
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I think it's insightful and runs counter to the conventional wisdom. Pretty sure Herbert's bomb to QJ had pre snap motion. 010
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Chargers ran a corner blitz this preseason and I almost fell over. 020
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Hard to believe I'm coming to his defense, but he was not a coward as his record in the Mexican American war showed. A better take, I think, is that he loved the Army of the Potomac so much he could not wield it effectively. He also deserves credit for building the army that Grant won with. 100
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 03/09/2026One of the reasons I really liked the pick was his time inside at tackle, it will be interesting to see how they use him. 010
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I agree when they are in the base defense, on obvious passing downs last season they would throw out three edges. If they do that again, I think Mack, Tuli and Mesidor might generate some heat. 100
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Good discussion, higher on Chargers secondary and pass rush than you seem to be, but yes, the guards are worrisome. On the Herbert throw, it seemed like the play action coupled with Herbert selling deep right route creates the blown coverage and throwing that far hitting Q in stride was something 110
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Reminds me of the Simpson episode where Homer sees someone on a ventilator and complains that he has to use his lungs like a sucker. 010
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I'm in sort of middle ground where big companies that make critical software should have a reasonable grace period to patch critical zero days, then release to all. 010
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Seahawks got a good one, he was sharp. I wondered if he was too small for big running backs, but he made some nice tackles. 000
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 28/08/2026And something of a pattern for big media in sports. If you look at coverage of Shanahan's accident, the 49ers owner arrest in a prostitution sting, or the Dodgers financial double dealing; big media seems to ignore, downplay or rationalize currently. Their revenue is too closely tied now. 010
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 26/08/2026This. Similar to why Linux has not taken over, or why companies don't run their own mail servers. And not just how many can, how many want to; if you make software, you just want to make software. 010
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Would not mind seeing Spomer start at center for the Chargers and Slaughter taking Strange's spot at guard. Strange was so bad in the 49er game. 000
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 19/08/2026It's embarassing that the Padres front office has been so quiet on this. 3903

Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The 'research assistant' aspect is so so useful. You used to have to wander through spaghetti code to figure out how things fit together. You can now just have Claude look at the repo and tell you what the logic flow is. 020
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I'm optimistic on Chargers O'Leary, mostly because Tony Jefferson is such a fan. He said he learned as much from him as any coach he has had and he said that before O'Leary was made DC. 030
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Had somebody playing their device out loud on a plane the other day, fortunately the crew put a stop to that, but wtf. 000
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I mean as long as not too many folks are on base, that's ok; we have a couple guys hovering around a 7 ERA 👀 000
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Really like this pick, especially his ability to rush on the inside as the Chargers like to put three edge guys in on passing downs. It kind of kills me when people (not you) talk about him being some wizened old guy at 25. 020
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 13/07/2026It's great stuff, well written too, some history is a slog to get through. 010
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Finished @alanallport.bsky.social Advance Britannia. Lowered my view of Churchill to a degree. Thoughtful ethical takes on the Bengal famine, the impact of racism and the strategic bombing campaign. Together with Britain at Bay, my favorite history work since Gerhard Weinberg's World at Arms. 191
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I feel seen, but not just talk routes in general, but debate the fastest route. I actually miss the old Thomas Brothers map, used to be able to look at it, see the route I wanted and keep it visually in my head to navigate. 001

Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I like Caldwell for the Chargers, Oronde Gadsden would have been a good pick too. 000
Brian @dabolts.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Not sure why, but it reminds me of this one: "This restaurant is terrible, the food is awful." "Not only that, but the portions are so small!" 000
