The Silver Fern

Man, lots of injuries this season. Good to see some get back.

I fired the AI tipster and picked myself. Picked Moana to be a dick, pretty happy that worked out

Blues X account confused the crap out of me with an Akira post, had forgotten the date. Was like it was AI targetted for my feed.

Was happy for abour 20 seconds, then back to default setting of grumpy old man.

Well the catch was cool. Guess they didn't get all the issues whey we looking at this week with the delays.

Launch, hot stage, flip and burn, and catch all becoming reliable aspects of the system. Hopefully they got some good data from the mishap.

On a plus, the re-entry pictures will look cool again.

Injury list getting a bit long. Side still looks strong despite that.

I went for him too, and Sotutu and Telea. Defence was awesome

not tried to get from bus station. I based my assertion on @Kirwan saying it was easy as to get there during RWC 2011 having previously seemed to think Albany was somewhere north of Wellsford. I just mapped it and it's 1.17 km so 15 minute walk? So about the same as the walk from Twickenham Station to the ground.

Confused, the Albany dig directed at me? I grew up by Glenfield and later Whangarei, so kinda know where Albany (and Wellsford, mores the pity) is.

So why aren't you supporting the (not so) mighty Harbour?

Wasn't really intended as a dig. I remember you thinking Albany would be a ball ache to get to and later saying it was a breeze, so I used you as an ikon for the widely held view that getting to North Harbour Stadium is akin to early 20th century attempts to reach the South Pole

Because I started supporting Auckland in 1984 before Harbour existing. Fucking splitters.

I got stuck in a car park after a game in Albany for an hour. It sucked. Eden Park is a breeze in comparison.

I think BB is only a ten at this stage of his career, not attacking enough at the back and his kicking last week cost us at least two trys, was poor.

Forbes was a key cog for our success last year, I'd try him out at fullback, and Sullivan when fit. BB to the bench

I'll do it properly next week with a better prompt.

The speed is incredible, I get the answers before I can get my hand to the mouse.

As for the wokeness, it's hard to get rid of it entirely as it is trained on the internet after all. But it's much better, I don't think left leaning people will be upset about it's answers. Leftists might though, as it doesn't lie when interpreting statistics, for example.

If they can catch up this much in a year, where the fuck are they going to be in 2026?

Have been playing with Grok3. It's incredible that in around a year, XAI has not only caught up to the leading companies, but is arguably now ahead.

It's continuing to train, and they are making daily updates to features, and to regular updates to the model. Voice is coming in a few days.

Has a huge token window, is incredible quick, and the results have been epic. You can point it at API docs online and it will summarise aspects of the results, and pull in information to support it. It's like having your own researcher. Coding is fantastic, and the news summaries are great. Realtime data from X gives it a good point of difference.

They have quietly finished the 200,000 GPU cluster, and continue to expand and plan larger. The Elon superpower of building things impossibly quickly is a HUGE advantage with this. Not sure anyone can compete, next year is going to be wild as they try.

@antipodean said in TSF Super Rugby Tipping 2025:

@Kirwan hopefully you get better outcomes using AI than I did

Well, it probably would help if I waited until the teams are named....

Will use the new DeepSearch agent next week so it can search all the information it needs. Has a million token context, so I'll keep it running and see if it improves.

I've outsourced my tipping to Grok3. Yes, I'm using a reasoning model sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Maybe they want to finish strong?

Lots of injuries already, are they running on glass in Canterbury?

I rewrote a microservice in a language I don't know. It's a great way to learn and be more productive.

Claude is still the best IMO.
