|
| For example I filtered down to "United Kingdom" and then "bass"

|
| Also if possible to apply the country filter within the search
| bar, took me a second to realise I had to open the filter for
| country, select that, then go back to my search.
|
| When clearing my search of "Bass" in the example above, it
| reset the search to default (didn't have my country filter)
| even though the filter was still applied when opening the
| filter section.
|
| Super easy interface to use though, really well done.

| I'm working on https://yap.town - an SRS based language learning

| afterthought. (Duolingo is also not designed for people serious
| about learning a language IMO, it's too easy and goes too
| slowly.)
|
| Had to do quite a bit to get it to work well.
|
| 1. At first you would think that if you know all the words in a
| sentence, that should be enough to understand the sentence. But
| it doesn't work like that. For starters, words can have multiple
| meanings. The french word "bois" can mean "(you) drink" or
| "wood". You want to learn these separately. I trained an NLP
| model (a gemma3 finetune) that I use to understand the manner
| each word is used in each sentence:
| https://huggingface.co/collections/anchpop/lexide-nlp-models
|
| 2. Even then, what about a sentence like "you'd better not"? Even
| if you know the words "you" "had" "better" and "not", you still
| won't really get this. So I use the wiktionary "multiword terms"
| category for each language to get a huge list of terms like "'d
| better" , "you better believe it", etc, and teach these in
| addition to individual words. And then I only show sentences
| where you know all the individual words as well as all the terms.

| I'm building a small live NFL game-prediction tracker and writing
| up what I learn as I go:
|
| https://michellepellon.com/portfolio/nfl-game-predictions
|
| # What's under the hood today
|
| ELO translated to the NFL with margin-of-victory adjustments, a
| modest home-field term, and week-to-week recency weighting.
|
| Post-hoc calibration with isotonic regression so 70% predictions
| land near 0.70 empirically.
|
| Monte Carlo to roll games forward for distributions on weekly win
| odds and season outcomes, plus basic reliability/Brier/log-loss
| tracking.
|
| # Where I'm taking it (ensemble ideas)
|
| Blend a few complementary signals: (1) pure ELO strength; (2)
| schedule-adjusted EPA/Success Rate features; (3) injury/QB
| continuity and rest/travel effects; (4) a small "market prior"
| from closing lines; (5) weather/play style pace features.
|
| Combine via a simple stacked model (regularized logistic,
| isotonic on top), or a Bayesian hierarchical model that lets team
| effects evolve with partial pooling.
|
| Separate models for win prob vs. expected margin, then reconcile
| with a consistent link so the two don't disagree.
|
| Emphasis on calibration over leaderboard-chasing: reliability
| diagrams, ECE, PIT histograms, and backtests that penalize regime
| drift.
|
| # Why I'm doing it
|
| It's a sandbox to teach myself Monte Carlo and ELO end-to-end--
| data ingest - feature plumbing - simulation - calibration - eval
| --on a domain with immediate feedback every week.
|
| # How this connects to my day job (healthcare ops)
|
| I work at BlueSprig, running ~150 ABA therapy clinics. I'm
| exploring whether ELO-like ideas can augment ops decisions:
|
| "Strength" ratings for clinics, care teams, or scheduling
| templates based on outcome deltas and throughput (margin-of-
| victory [?] effect size/efficiency).
|
| Opponent/schedule [?] case-mix, payer mix, staffing constraints,
| geography.
|
| Monte Carlo for expansion planning (new-site ramp curves),
| capacity/OT forecasting, and risk-adjusted outcome monitoring
| with calibration so probabilities mean something.
|
| Guardrails for fairness and interpretability so ratings don't
| become blunt scorecards.
|
| # Help
|
| If you've shipped calibrated ensembles in sports or have pointers
| on applying rating systems to multi-site healthcare operations,

|
| The biggest insight so far: people don't want "infinite content."
| They want structure, voice, and someone who remembers them.
|
| Would love feedback from others experimenting in AI + learning.
