@tylermilliken_ With Contreras out, Gasper covering him on defense and offense, and IKF got trolling covered. We're going to be okay.

@tylermilliken_ I had no idea IKF was this kind of guy. Approve.

@dieworkwear @andrecr1228 overall, i think menswear guy's objection seems like an esthetic revulsion to using computers to get better at something. i love books and they are supremely valuable, but we don't have to romanticize them in such a way as to deny the utility of digital technology.

[Keith Didion @keithdidion]

@dieworkwear @andrecr1228 yes, it is easier to do that, but if that's all you do, you are leaving something off the table. casual players probably won't benefit too much from advanced solver work, when they still need to grasp basic principles, but at the highest levels, you need every edge you can get.

@dieworkwear i don't know your history with chess, but i don't think we can say this categorically. i used to play poker professionally and read all the books, from which I benefitted greatly, but I also got a lot out of working with solver software.

@NESN I like this guy

@Lieboisout It's because to nearly every person on Earth, there's something more important than the truth.

The purpose of progress is to increase the enjoyment of life, including via hobbies. When an innovator creates a time-saving or wealth-increasing technology, they should the see it as the creation of more opportunities for human enjoyment, not disdain the people who benefit from their creation.

No fan of this guy, but I think people who move away from these toxic movements should be lauded, not mocked or shamed, even if it takes becoming a victim of the ideology they once grifted for. If onlookers see that someone is mocked when they renounce these views, will that make it easier or harder for them to do the same?

[Keith Didion @keithdidion]

@tylermilliken_ He did great, no question, but those throws to first are a bit worrisome.

@RichardHanania She's the cute, nerdy Henry Hazlitt this generation has been lacking.

@TomCaron Our Age of Bronze is collapsing.

@Noahpinion It's a good question to ask oneself non-rhetorically.

[Keith Didion @keithdidion]

@WrathofMathEDU As someone who used to do this, I can confirm.

[Keith Didion @keithdidion]

The team was supposed to have this "identity" of working counts, bunting, shortening up, creating havoc on the basepaths, testing the defense, etc. Where was that in Friday's game? Seemed like their strategy was... try to get lucky hitting Schlittler? They seem to have forgotten what got them here.

@pensandpoison Have you gone down a Victor Hugo rabbit hole yet? Maybe you have, but I can seem to remember your mentioning him.

@Gena_I_Gorlin This is just what sleep is, right? Right?
