Watching that I kept thinking of Clive's metaphor for the wide middle of the table, a load of monkeys throwing the same shit around. There really isn't much quality in this league, very few teams to fear. We weren't great, ravaged with injuries, and nearly sneaked away with all three points -- which would admittedly have been a lovely narrative reset after the post-Swansea trepidation at the prospect of another lengthy downward slide. But got to be content with a point, especially without registering a shot on target !
Got round to watching Heretic. Love the setup (everything from the trailer basically), and Hugh Grant is having a whale of a time, and is pretty good in the role. But feels like A24 dropped the ball on this one - after the set up, there's no film really. It's fairly ludicrous and feels thrown together.
Also saw Oddity. Agree with Bluce basically. Also suffers from there being no character who isn't basically annoying. The whole deal with the giant wooden statue is hard to get past too, wtf. Creepy in places, another good set up, but can't recommend it
I used to suffer from quite bad insomnia (thankfully having kids saw an end to that, new parents approach sleep like a starving man). My remedy for this was to work out my preferred QPR XI, home and away. A bit like counting sheep.
I've just had a moderately horrific experience at the dentist, having a problematic wisdom tooth removed ("removed" feels too mild, "battered out of my jaw" maybe). To distract myself I concentrated on how QPR should line up tomorrow. Field in defence? But what does that do to midfield? Revert to a four? Etc
Has anyone else used meditation on QPR a useful remedy for life's challenges?
I watched on the stream, and only with half an eye as it was so poor I ended up catching up on some work at the same time. Looked like the Morrison injury close to KO really derailed the game plan. As others had said we just couldn't move the ball due to the big gaps between defence and rest of the team. It's a real shame as it looked like we'd hit a decent system against Preston, and will need to reorganize again over the next few games. This season is really turning into a story about how well we manage a never ending injury crisis.
Never kept records but re personal records i remember that when my dad first started taking me, during the Gerry Francis years, it was quite a few attendances before I saw us win, which was quite unlucky given we were pretty decent at the time
Also, GAI is just advanced predictive text. An AI developed to predict football scores (or stock market movements, or disease state etc) is a different proposition.
I think the pertinent variables part is key. Machine Learning is a product of the data you train it on. There's only so many variables with reliable data available, which I'd assume bookmakers etc already use in relatively straightforward regression models. Id guess the fact that football is relatively unpredictable is because the kinds of variables you can measure only capture a fairly small amount of variance in the outcome. Stuff like "players didn't fancy it", "striker had a barney with the manager", "everything clicked in training that week" wouldn't be data available to an AI to learn from.
