@Phillies @PhilsPlayerDev Makes no sense to put Trea behind Schwarber. Thats why they keep walking him. Trea can’t hit.

@RealKeithWeiner @yaronbrook People don’t care that it feeds the young to the old. They know one day they’ll be old and it’s their turn to feed.

@Phillies Good phight, boys! Sosa with the big redemption! lol

Zack “Aaron Nola” Wheeler. #phillies

[Zac Ball @coding_zac]

@jollywipradio Wheeler. It’s respect thing.

[Zac Ball @coding_zac]

@Phillies Good to see him pulling the ball.

[Zac Ball @coding_zac]

@Phillies Well done!

@shlevy Technical writing, decision and design docs - I wouldn’t do it any other way. If you consider that writing.

Trea turner is killing the #phillies. Fuck he’s horrible.

@unclebobmartin @HedaSudhanshu To be clear. I don’t think agents diminish the human mind. I think they are an example of the great power of it. I think reason is the cornerstone of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Reason belongs to humans. Not machines. Happy Memorial Day.

[Zac Ball @coding_zac]

@unclebobmartin @HedaSudhanshu I do see AI and LLMs as an absolute marvelous achievement. And I love seeing the frontiersman like yourself, who inspired millions of us, adopt them. But I think it's important to distinguish them as a tool to aid in human thinking. They do not think or reason. It is impossible.

[Zac Ball @coding_zac]

@unclebobmartin @HedaSudhanshu There is a way to come away with that conclusion. You come away with that conclusion by understanding what reason is. Reason requires volition, and value judgments. A machine has neither. One must value truth to assess right/wrong. AI gives the illusion of reason. It's a tool.

[Zac Ball @coding_zac]

@unclebobmartin @HedaSudhanshu They don’t reason. They are tools to help humans reason. Reason is the domain of humans.

[Keith Weiner @RealKeithWeiner]

This question is a trap. Let me explain.

We don't have capitalism. We have a welfare state so expensive, that high progressive tax (Communist Manifesto Plank #2) can't pay for it, so we need a central bank (Plank #5). Every productive enterprise is regulated (some actively supervised), most professions are licensed. Govt outright owns roads, airports, harbors, rail, mail, radio spectrum, electrical grids, water, sewer, and schools (Plank #10).

The above, including the credit cycle caused by the central bank, is why there's more and more demand for welfare. Both consumer and corporate.

Another fallacy is to lump tax breaks and regulatory exemptions with subsidies. They are opposites.

The #phillies will finish under .500. Sanchez and Wheeler wont win every game - as demonstrated. Luzardo is hit or miss - mostly miss. Bullpen isnt strong enough to win close games. And Nola and Painter will lose 80% of their games. Team wont finish over .500.
