About 9 days ago I started doing a lot of football centric vibe coding. I’m not an early AI adopter outside of just chatting so I’m learning on the fly. Anyways, I was going to wait until after the draft for feedback. I don’t want to encroach on the Lions holiday. I do very much value the football knowledge here and the wisdom of crowds element will be invaluable post draft.
The reason I am posting this now is I got the college stuff online today and with the draft upcoming I thought people would enjoy it. It’s implementation broke some NFL stuff that I have to go back and fix and there is considerable work to be done so don’t freak out about aesthetics, overall ranking formulas, things that seem wrong-headed etc.
If interested just toggle to college on the main app page. The roster have names repeated underneath. Click on those and the player pages drop down with data radar charts, line charts, etc. are available. Plan to add player comps based off data soon and we’ll, whatever you need. A fun draft run up tool for those that are interested and do enjoy it. And y’all are the only ones that have it for now.
But if something is wonky remember this is in its infancy. Architecture hasn’t been stress tested so no idea how it handles multiple visitors. And most importantly I’m not a coder but instead a teller of dad jokes with a Claude account.
Interesting that Claude decided to build a front end in Python. Wouldn’t have been my choice, but I’m not a LLM, I guess. haha.
Cool stuff. Interesting to see what you’re able to do with it. This is the very cool part of LLMs and how they open up accessibility to those to create things they otherwise would not have been able to.
I think he gave me an option. Menu of sorts. I had some familiarity with Google Collab so I think that is why he/it pushed me in that direction. My brother is a CTO. He’s already offered to help with reinforcing the infrastructure, the aesthetics and so on when I get the far. Think I probably have a couple weeks of additional features to add.
The charting sites are total walled gardens. They prohibit even premium members of using their data for other apps. So that is the main logic problem. I don’t have assignments, I don’t have post snap movement so I’ve had to Macguver some statistics. Like say using RB success rate and matching up gap data to see how well it was blocked there. But with Penei for instance the things he does well are blindspots. Similarly, the lockdown CB who is avoided. Difficult to capture.
I think similar players needs to go in soon. Their profile generates the most relevant matches. And maybe you can toggle between other college options and established pro options.
There is an element of empowering the little guy that they’ll be taking away soon, I expect. I just used something as simple as the general “AI mode” in Google to cut through the sludge of legalese to get to the heart of a tax fine levied against my mother-in-law and got the whole thing thrown out in ten minutes. They were pretty stunned, they’d been trying to sort it for a couple of months, getting the runaround, getting sent from one department to another then back to the first one, etc… You know, bureaucratic nonsense. AI told them exactly what number to call, exactly what to say, exactly what form to request, and exactly what to do to ensure they had a record of it. Ten minutes, including hold time, and it was all gone.
I think it’s going to be a different tier of model for enterprise. But over the long haul these AI models are going to be virtually free. If we don’t do that the Chinese will. It may take fusion coming on line bc of the cost of energy but once we get through the bottlenecks of the buildout silicon prices will plummet.
There is IMO why when you hear Dario talk about big revenue opportunities he overwhelmingly talks about biotech and the sort of IP for amazing treatments and cures that the “factory of geniuses” could lead to.
I’m rather certain that my recent behavior has been massively loss making for them. Claude is asking if you are tired, I’m getting limited even on an upper tier plan. IMO they’re struggling through both compute shortages and incinerating cash as they gobble up market share form OpenAI and Google.
Just read a story about a robot race in China. Last year winning time for robot was over 2.5 hours to finish. This year? Just over 50. It’s crazy how fast stuff is developing.
