Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but anytime I've tried out the "shallow" move, I get far more flippy and stuck than my normal swing

re: Will "Learn to Weld" become the new "Learn to Code" with AI coming for the coding jobs?

Spot on.
More often than not, it takes me longer to troubleshoot most AI-written code for anything more than a small handful of lines than it does to just write it myself from scratch, and some studies have backed this up. Its most useful purpose is as a Google/Stack Overflow replacement or automating the mundane.
Still a total game changer and an incredible tool once you figure out the best way to use it in your workflow.

It is the corner cases that AI actually increases the number of issues that hard to troubleshoot because the developers are not as intimately versed in the code.

It's also seeing CEOs with pies on their faces because they're realizing that least some of those employees who were let go actually needed to be retained, and that there's a rehiring boomerang phase going on in some areas.

It will likely settle somewhere in the middle for the time being.

When AGI becomes a reality, almost all white collar jobs will disappear in a month.
That's hyperbole. The massive dystopian economic issues resulting from something like that notwithstanding, it's going to take much more time than that to trickle down, and even then, you'll still need white collar workers.

But if you have a hundred coders before AI, you won't still need 100 hand holders after AI.
I agree with that. AI is a tool that's going to rapidly improve efficiency and already has in many cases. Unless I misinterpreted, the poster I was responding to is saying that you won't even need hand holders for more than 3 months.
You'll always need IT professionals to both provide maintenance and direction to AI, even if it's less of them in the industry.

You are either in denial or fundamentally do not understand the changes coming.
Prompt engineering? Seriously? For what, about 3 months.
If you've ever dealt with clients or employees who don't know anything about software and the web besides how to Google something, which is just about all of them, you'd know he's not wrong.
You're going to need experienced, professional human eyes to integrate technologies, issue prompts, or make sure edge cases are being properly accounted for, and probably all of them, otherwise you're going to end up with a bad product and/or a client who spins their wheels into an unsustainable mess because they don't know what they don't know. I don't see that changing anytime soon for any project that needs the slightest bit of customization or complexity.
TLDR: The weakest link isn't AI, it's an uninformed human using it.
Beaver's greens were in great shape, emphasis on "green" with the fertilizer. Much slicker than they looked as well.

Been a little while since Beaver Creek and Santa Maria were updated. Looking to get out on Friday.
Anyone been out to either of those recently?

Well this law around not being an illegal immigrant is pretty universal so no real reason to play your hypothetical game.
The law I used as an example is not a hypothetical in the slightest as being a Christian is punishable by death in Afghanistan.
quote:
Romans 13:1, obey the law of the land. End of discussion
So what happens when the law of the land doesn't agree with the Bible? For example...
It's currently illegal to be a Christian and practice in Afghanistan, yet Matthew 28:18-20 instructs all believers to "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". So which is it?
Point being, Christianity and its values cannot always coexist with man-made laws.
quote:
Pilate
... and then Pilate gave in to the Jewish leaders to allow him to be crucified because he recognized that Jesus had broken the law by claiming himself as the Son of God, which was taken as opposition to Caesar.
quote:- John 19:7, 15, 16
7 The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
...
“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.
If Jesus wanted to make sure he wasn't breaking any laws, he wouldn't have proclaimed as such.
Regardless, the Jesus as described in the Bible would not have generalized illegal immigrants as mass rapists, thieves, murderers, etc., and conversely would have offered help, guidance, and forgiveness on an individual by individual basis.

I don't think he would care about human-made laws, only intent.
Some of it is dependent on your technique and how firm, soft, or tight the course you're playing is, but I'd generally lean toward your 54 being the around the greens/chipping club.
It's easier to make better contact with lower lofted wedges, and 58 is getting close to lob wedge territory where your only option is to go high.
As an aside, if you feel like your gapping is off and it also makes sense to add or remove bounce, having someone bend a wedge will take proportionally more or less bounce off. For example, bending your 58 to a 57 would also turn your 10 degrees of bounce into 9. Just another option.

My problem with Landry was not running the bus over Woodward. My problem was it was clearly political theater because Woodward IMO was a lame duck AD. You pay a coach that money that Kelly got in a long term contract in the most important sport at a school and the guy fails at the job. You are D.E.A.D. in keeping your own job.
Not to mention, Landry couldn't have been more wrong in what he was spouting... Taxpayers have never been on the hook for an LSU coach's salary, and there is no world in which the incentive-based contract he was pining for was going to get a coach worthy of the LSU job to campus, especially Kiffin.
Giving Landry roses after this is hilarious.
They've played some bad teams recently where they've gotten up so quickly with the help of elite defense/ST that there was no reason to air it out.
Basically the other side of the coin of the Bengals the last 2 years where their only chance to win is to turn it into a shootout, resulting in a Fantasy points goldmine.

Never more than 3 losses in a season
Since 2000 which is basically the beginning of the golden era of LSU, we've averaged more than 3 losses per season (3.3 to be exact), and most of this was before all of Texas, Oklahoma, and A&M entered the SEC and the transfer portal/NIL hampered our in-state recruiting advantage.
Might want to rethink this line in particular, because this is why people say LSU fans have unrealistic expectations.

You could be right, I haven't heard much from him since local and national sports analysts started talking about how LSU was no longer a top-5 job anymore because of the governor.

I can agree with that if they were really coming after football. But if there is evidence that football can be fricked what’s to stop it from happening now
Just felt like wrong move I loved that guy
They were trying to nail LSU for lack of institutional control, which would involve sports beyond just basketball and used football as an additional bargaining chip. And once you open up an investigation into football, you never know what they might find. Receipt from when a staffer paid thought it was legal for him to pay for Joe Burrow's lunch in 2017, but actually wasn't? Let's vacate all their wins in 2018 and 2019 then for impermissable benefits, etc. etc.
I liked Wade too, just not at the expense of LSU football.

You're a dumbass then. Lane is coming solely because LSU is paying top-dollar and is a top-5 job in the country with a fertile recruiting base, and because his mentor Saban told him as much.
If anything, Jeff Landry did his best to nuke this process by opening his mouth without doing his homework on every sports talk show he could get on.

Other blue blood coaches
We're not a basketball blue blood, and as such, the NCAA was looking to make an example out of us. Wade was literally caught on tape, not hearsay like some of the other coaches. The rest of it is just hindsight being 20/20.
If the football program was handed down even more sanctions or postseason bans because of findings as a result of increased scrutiny from the Wade stuff, the fanbase would've really lost their mind, myself included. Firing Wade at the time was the right move given the information we had to go off of.
