It seems to be meaningful. Players who get a concussion will be removed from the game, and not allowed to return. If a star player gets a concussion, that has a huge effect. In games in the 90s, you could see helmet to helmet hits on almost every play (I did hear one person complain that in modern football you don't hear the crack of helmets, but that was hard to hear on TV and that person is still watching). Players have had to completely learn new technique for tackling that doesn't involve using your helmet, but they learned it and the game goes on. The reduction in violence has allowed more passes into the middle (Tom Brady complained about that, but fans don't seem to care). There have been a lot of new rules about not hurting the quarterback, because when the quarterback gets injured, that reduces income. There have been new rules about kickoff that seem to have reduced concussions, and the new kickoff rules look stupid and fans do complain about those, but they aren't bad enough to chase fans away. In the old days coaches would give bonuses to players who injured members of the other team, but that seems to have gone away.

Over time as rule changes have happened, the number of concussions have been reduced. Especially in the last six years, the NFL has been making rule changes every year to reduce injuries (partly because of insistence from the players union).

I'm not sure what time in history you are talking about.

Instead, why don't you do something useful and look at the source code and see if there's anything interesting in there?

Yeah, they still suck, but unequivocally better than the Patriots in every way.

OK, you're wrong, but this should be obvious even to a genius like you.

How did you learn to read? Did you ingest a billion different texts? No.

How did you learn to distinguish the color red? Did you look at a million different labeled pictures and classify colors accordingly, or did someone show you a crayon and say, "this is red"? People learn concepts differently.

People don't produce words in the same way LLMs do. The reason you think they do is because you are ignorant: you haven't done your due diligence to understand the problem well enough to justify your strong opinion.

I was surprised they hadn't already done this. It seemed like an obvious target given the large test suite available. The result is interested in that it helps show the possibilities and limitations, the contours, of AI coding.

Now it's obvious why no one did it: $20,000 of compute time.

People are capable of writing original words in a way that LLMs are not. Covfeferetter.

The source code is available online if you want to look at it: https://github.com/anthropics/...

In any case I agree with your point that craftsmanship matters, and that has been lost because people are attracted to programming for the money, not because they enjoy it. (Of course, someone who wants money can be a skilled programmer too, but often they don't).

Using a helmet as a battering ram is absolutely illegal in the NFL. https://operations.nfl.com/the...

The rule changes have already happened. Head-to-head contact is illegal in the NFL. Hardly any spectators noticed, and fewer cared.

Soft outside helmets are used in the NFL, but not always.

That's why it's against the rules in football to knock heads together. https://operations.nfl.com/the...

If it's blatant the player who does it will be ejected. Both players may be checked for a concussion.

The NFL has made major rule changes over the years to avoid concussions.

For example, here are the rule changes that show proper tackling technique of the QB. I think even a non-player can tell the difference.

Congrats, your score is now two.
