A Memorial Day BDH on the biggest narrative in mid-season MLB — and what most pundits are missing about it.Trevor and Dan break down why the Rays and Brewers have become the lineup case study of 2026, why "they're just bunting their way to wins" is wildly off the mark, and how the real story is a three-step roster-construction philosophy rooted in 162-game survival, not October sizzle.Topics covered:Why the Rays and Brewers became "the lineups everyone wants to emulate" — and what's actually inside them (Junior Caminero, James Wood, CJ Abrams, Bryce Turang all have 40-HR power; the rest of the roster is the inefficiency)The "raise the floor" thesis: getting rid of every hitter with a 25%+ K rate so the 7-8-9 spots stop killing ralliesThe Wilmer Flores extinction event — why three-true-outcome guys without unicorn ceilings no longer have roster spotsRule-change tailwinds: pitch clock, pickoff limit, ABS, shift elimination — and why they all favor athletic, contact-and-run lineupsWhy Kyle Schwarber has quietly become a top-tier no-shift beneficiaryDoug Glanville's "you take your strike zone with you" — and what ABS does to walk rates league-wideStolen-base-adjusted OPS as the next stat people will start tracking (Marlins, Guardians, Brewers, Rays atop SB; Yankees + Nats slug + run)The Mike Rizzo doctrine: "build for 90 wins, hope the bounce of the ball helps with the World Series"The Dodgers as the exception (cruise-control roster) — and why everyone else is playing for the October coin flipWhy the Brewers got swept by LA and the Phillies couldn't manufacture one run vs. NLDS — the limits of slugging-only and scrappy-onlySpringer's Game 7 HR vs. Seattle and what it means for "you still need the bomb" in OctoberWhy this matters:Every market-inefficiency conversation in MLB right now lands at the Rays and Brewers. Most are missing the actual machine: it's not the bunts, it's the roster ROI lens. Small-market orgs treat lineup spots like index funds — Apple/Google-tier stocks are unicorns, the rest of the roster is built to never lose money. That's the conversation pundits aren't having. 00:00 Intro · Memorial Day 04:10 The Setup · Rays + Brewers Lineup Question 07:10 The Unicorns: Caminero, Wood, Turang 10:30 Raise the Floor · The Market Inefficiency 16:30 The Mike Rizzo Doctrine · Build for 162 22:58 Index Funds, Not Apple · Roster ROI 26:15 Rule Changes · ABS, Pitch Clock, No Shift 33:46 Stolen-Base-Adjusted OPS · The New Ground Game 41:51 October Math · You Still Need the Bomb 54:40 Closing · Appreciating the New MLB

When your schedule is packed, it's easy to assume your practice is healthy—but “busy” can hide low productivity and weak profitability. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings in ACT Dental coach Robyn Theisen to explain why volume masks inefficiency longer than any other metric, how “busy” becomes a false proxy for performance, and what to measure instead. You'll learn how to compare number of visits with production per visit and production per hour, what inefficient schedules look like, and how to build a strategic schedule that slows down on purpose while producing more. Listen to Episode 1045 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A full schedule can look healthy while profitability is not there because volume can hide inefficiency.“Busy” is a false proxy and has zero value unless you connect it to productivity and profitability.Compare number of visits with production per visit (PPV) and production per hour (PPH) to see whether you're churning through patients or producing efficiently.Low PPV and low PPH often show up as lots of short, low-value appointments and reactive treatment planning that keeps the day running long.Inefficient volume creates physical fatigue and mental fatigue when the activity doesn't match what ends up in the bank account.A practice that gets it right builds a strategic schedule with the right mix of procedures, not just filled spots, and matches time to clinical complexity and value.Start by planning the year (days worked, vacations, holidays, CE, meetings), set an annual production goal, and break it down into a daily target to build the schedule around.Snippets:00:00 Why a busy schedule doesn't automatically mean a profitable schedule.03:10 Why “busy” is a false proxy and what “time is the new rich” looks like.04:05 The homework metric: calculate PPV, PPH, and compare them to number of visits.06:00 What inefficient volume looks like in the schedule and treatment planning.08:05 What it looks like when a practice gets it right with a strategic schedule.11:05 The first step: plan your year, set annual goals, and convert them into a daily production target.12:00 Why write-offs matter and how inaccurate assumptions can hide the real numbers.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Robyn Theisen brings an entire life and legacy of dental experience to the team and every team with which she works as the daughter and sister of dentists.

Cheese can cost $12 a pound, or upwards of $100 for a wheel of the same size. So what is actually driving that difference in price, and is the most expensive option really worth it? Today, Elizabeth Chubbuck of Murray's Cheese breaks down how to think about value in cheese, from commodity cheddar to cave-aged, small-batch wheels. Along the way, Elizabeth and Eli also get into the history of Murray's, their unique cave aging program, and explore why inefficiency is often exactly what makes something great.We Want to Hear from You!Have a topic, craft category, or craft company you'd like to see us cover?

In this Diving Deep episode, Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr connect two forces that are beginning to reshape the future of medicine: healthcare's worsening economic inefficiency and the rise of physician-built generative AI tools. The conversation opens with a provocative interpretation of the latest U.S. jobs reports. While healthcare has become the nation's primary engine of employment growth, Dr. Pearl argues that this is not a sign of strength. It is evidence that medicine continues to meet rising demand by adding labor instead of improving productivity. In his view, that failure to modernize is driving higher costs for employers, families and government programs while setting the stage for inevitable disruption. From there, the discussion shifts to what that disruption could look like. Pearl outlines how generative AI could improve chronic disease monitoring, reduce unnecessary hospital stays and detect inpatient decline earlier than current workflows allow. These advances, he argues, would lower costs not by rationing care but by improving outcomes. The second half of the episode turns to one of the most practical and exciting developments in generative AI: vibe coding. Here, Pearl explains how physicians can now use plain-English prompts to create customized digital tools that reflect their own clinical judgment and practice preferences. Rather than relying on static handouts or generic patient portals, doctors could build affordable applications that monitor patients continuously between visits and intervene earlier when problems arise. Taken together, the episode puts forth a clear thesis: healthcare's worsening economics are not a sign of resilience. They are a sign that medicine has failed to modernize. What's more: generative AI, especially through vibe coding, may be the most practical path to higher-quality, lower-cost care. For more, tune into this month's episode and check out the links below.

Is AI creating advantage—or exposing inefficiency at scale? Kortney Harmon breaks down why 2026 won't be defined by better tools, but by better operations.As growth slows and teams shrink, firms can't outwork broken systems. Fragmented data, bloated tech stacks, and unclear workflows are quietly draining productivity—and AI is only accelerating the problem. The firms pulling ahead are doing less, better: integrating systems, tightening workflows, and turning scattered data into operational clarity.Discover why operational discipline—not more technology—is what will separate scalable firms from stagnant ones in 2026.______________________Follow Crelate on LinkedIn: CrelateWant to learn more about Crelate?

In this episode of The Retail Perch, Courtney Adams, VP of Marketing, and Kate McCormick, Director of Solution Engineering at Birdzi, discuss why retail operations need to move beyond “that's how we've always done it.” As shopper behavior shifts quickly, processes that take weeks can lose relevance just as fast, making it even more important for retailers to reduce operational time, lower stress, and work more efficiently. They also discuss Birdzi's newest capabilities and how they help tackle operational inefficiencies at scale.

Inefficiency in mission - Matthew 18:10-14Bp Greg AndersonRidley College Chapel Sermon (Semester 1/Week 5/Thursday 2026)

Brands spending over $100,000 per month on Amazon PPC don't scale by raising budgets or bidding higher. They use six specific strategies that most sellers never implement.In this episode, I break down the exact tactics we see in every high-spending account we manage. Search term isolation to stop waste from funding your winners. Dayparting to spend only during high-conversion hours with the same budget. Defensive moats that block competitors from stealing your traffic on brand terms and product pages. Amazon Marketing Cloud prediction that lets you bid on behavior instead of guessing. SQP gap filling using Brand Analytics to find "invisible bestseller" keywords where you convert 2x better but only get 2% impression share. And DSP buyer ownership, where you target who someone is instead of what they search.These aren't theories. These are the actual plays running in accounts spending six figures monthly on Amazon ads. If you're trying to scale by just increasing bids and budgets, you'll hit a ceiling fast. Inefficiency kills growth faster than budget fuels it.#AmazonPPC #AmazonAds #AmazonAdvertising #AmazonDSP #PPCStrategy #AmazonFBA #AmazonSeller #AmazonMarketing #AMC #BrandAnalytics #AmazonPPCTips #PPCOptimization #EcommerceStrategy #AmazonScale #SponsoredProducts

Marty Solomon joins the Eikon team to discuss his new book with Reed Dent, 'The Gospel of Being Human'. The conversation explores the importance of asking better questions of the Bible, understanding our humanity, and the nature of God's love. Marty shares insights on the complexity of human nature, the early church's perspective on sin, and the significance of redemption as illustrated in the story of Jonah. The discussion also delves into the dynamics of power, success, and failure in the context of faith, emphasizing that God's love is more prevalent than His wrath. The episode concludes with reflections on how to engage with scripture and the world around us with curiosity and compassion. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome02:14 Marty's New Book and Creative Process04:55 The Importance of Asking Questions07:48 Understanding Ourselves Through the Bible10:33 The Complexity of Being Human13:18 God's View of Humanity16:08 The Historical Context of Theology19:57 The Jewish Narrative and God's Heart23:56 The Inefficiency of Divine Partnership27:35 Understanding God's Love and Compassion29:32 Reframing the Image of God34:25 The Challenge of Loving Our Enemies39:00 Redefining Success and Failure42:37 The Power of Love vs. Coercion

This is a link post. The new scaling paradigm for AI reduces the amount of information a model can learn from per hour of training by a factor of 1,000 to 1,000,000. I explore what this means and its implications for scaling. The last year has seen a massive shift in how leading AI models are trained. 2018–2023 was the era of pre-training scaling. LLMs were primarily trained by next-token prediction (also known as pre-training). Much of OpenAI's progress from GPT-1 to GPT-4, came from scaling up the amount of pre-training by a factor of 1,000,000. New capabilities were unlocked not through scientific breakthroughs, but through doing more-or-less the same thing at ever-larger scales. Everyone was talking about the success of scaling, from AI labs to venture capitalists to policy makers. However, there's been markedly little progress in scaling up this kind of training since (GPT-4.5 added one more factor of 10, but was then quietly retired). Instead, there has been a shift to taking one of these pre-trained models and further training it with large amounts of Reinforcement Learning (RL). This has produced models like OpenAI's o1, o3, and GPT-5, with dramatic improvements in reasoning (such as solving [...] --- First published: February 2nd, 2026 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/64iwgmMvGSTBHPdHg/the-extreme-inefficiency-of-rl-for-frontier-models Linkpost URL:https://www.tobyord.com/writing/inefficiency-of-reinforcement-learning --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

In this solo episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, Coleman Ayers breaks down the concept of nonlinear pedagogy, reframed as the nonlinear progression model, and explains why learning, development, and skill acquisition in basketball are rarely clean, linear processes. Drawing from research across sport, education, and motor learning, Coleman challenges the traditional “start simple and build up” mindset and makes the case for starting closer to (or slightly above) an athlete's true challenge point to accelerate learning and improve transfer to the game.Through practical basketball-specific examples like shooting footwork, ball screen decision-making, warmups, and youth development, Coleman explains how nonlinear structure and nonlinear progress work together. He outlines why struggle is not only acceptable but necessary, how regressions should often replace progressions, and why coaches must reframe expectations around visible improvement. The episode closes with actionable rules of thumb to help coaches design more efficient, engaging, and game-representative training environments.Timestamps:00:01 – Introduction to nonlinear pedagogy and why learning isn't linear 01:28 – Nonlinear structure vs. nonlinear progress explained 02:39 – Traditional linear progressions and why they fall short 04:08 – Starting with difficulty and regressing instead of building up 05:09 – Inefficiency of linear models and wasted training time 06:32 – Engagement, autonomy, and mental toughness benefits 07:14 – Giving athletes time to struggle and self-organize 08:28 – Why linear progressions don't transfer well to games 09:13 – Addressing concerns about bad habits and technique 10:58 – Confidence, psychological momentum, and game reality 11:50 – Example: shooting footwork and nonlinear application 13:00 – Example: handling aggressive ball screen coverages 15:19 – Starting live, then regressing with purpose 16:05 – Rules of thumb: start 10% harder, regress more than progress 17:25 – Finding challenge in warmups 18:41 – Whole–part–whole and play–drill–play frameworks 20:27 – When it makes sense to start simple 22:01 – Youth development, experimentation, and learning windows 24:25 – Advanced challenges making basic skills easier 26:34 – Nonlinear progress and managing expectations 28:00 – Spacing, consolidation, and why breaks matter 30:30 – Final takeaways on embracing the chaos of learningCoaching Resources: https://www.byanymeanscoaches.comBAM Blueprint Book: https://www.byanymeanscoaches.com/modern-basketball-blueprintIf this episode challenged the way you think about player development, be sure to check out the By Any Means Coaches Certification and Coleman's book, The Modern Basketball Blueprint, where these concepts are explored in much greater depth.

Our most popular guest ever is back - Rory Sutherland returns for a wide-ranging conversation on why marketing works best when it embraces luck, spontaneity, and a little irrationality. From the dangers of confected outrage and self-censorship to the unfair economics of marketing, Rory challenges the industry's obsession with logic, optimisation, and process.We discuss why success is often misunderstood as skill rather than luck, the value of doing a few things irresponsibly, and why inefficiency can be a feature rather than a flaw. As ever, Rory connects behavioural science, creativity, and business reality in ways few others can.Timestamps00:00 - Intro01:16 - How Rory deals with his new micro fame03:12 - How Jon shut down the London Underground07:04 - The problem with confected outrage10:34 - How self-censoring is affecting creativity12:10 - The power of spontaneity and luck in advertising16:03 - The unfair economics of marketing20:54 - Is success just luck?23:12 - Spend 95% responsibly, and 5% irresponsibly30:12 - Doubling down on what your competitors do badly34:32 - Why so many businesses are no longer customer focused35:29 - Inefficiency as a feature37:08 - The power of herd mentality43:26 - What marketers can teach the business world48:13 - Why internal process is killing businesses51:15 - Lessons from 200 years of The Spectator advertising54:47 - Rory's closing thoughts on marketing

In my conversation with J.R. Briggs the author of The Art of Asking Better Questions:Pursuing Stronger Relationships, Healthier Leadership, and Deeper Faith. J.R. discusses the transformative power of asking better questions and how they can lead to deeper relationships, personal growth, and a more integrated life. He emphasizes the importance of hospitality, curiosity, and the role of questions in fostering community and connection. Through personal anecdotes and insights, J.R. illustrates how living with arrows pointing out—focusing on others—can create a more fulfilling and joyful existence. He also explores the neuroscience behind questions, the four levels of questioning, and how Jesus exemplified the art of inquiry in his ministry. Dr. J.R. Briggs is the founder of Kairos Partnerships, a coaching and consulting firm dedicated to equipping leaders through the intersection of spiritual formation and actionable leadership. An author of 15 books and host of the Resilient Leaders podcast, he also serves as a university instructor and denominational director.  Takeaways Asking better questions can lead to deeper relationships. Hospitality is a healing practice that benefits both the host and the guest. Living with arrows pointing out encourages selflessness and community engagement. Curiosity is essential for personal growth and understanding others. Questions can transform conversations and create connections. The four levels of questions help deepen interactions and understanding. Jesus modeled the importance of asking questions in his ministry. Celebration and joy are vital components of community and relationships. Living an integrated life requires awareness of our masks and vulnerabilities. Depth in conversations is more valuable than efficiency. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background of J.R.

On the latest Mortcast on CSG and MHS Jeff talks about how the NBA can improve even more if it just embraces inefficiency again. What does Jeff mean by that? Allow defenses to make threes marginally more inefficient in order to reduce the huge spacing on the court. Otherwise the rate of injuries to players might increase even more. Enjoy the show!

Craig Troxel talks about how ruling elders can help men consider a call to pastoral ministry.A call to pastoral ministry has several parts, one is the internal sense of call, another is the recognition of the church, the actual call to a congregation or mission work. Ruling elders help shepherd men in both and in this podcast we discuss the early stages of recognizing a call, or even encouraging men to consider if they are called.Discussion centers around Charles Bridges, The Christian Ministry: With an Inquiry into the Causes of its Inefficiency, (Banner of Truth Trust). See especially Chapter VI, The Qualifications of the Christian Ministry, pp. 24-31.Craig quotes John Newton, "Beware, my friend, of mistaking the ready exercise of gifts for the exercise of grace."

Perhaps consumerism is the product of and the fact that most people now cannot afford to own a home, or a house or single property, single-family properties, and as a consequence, pours all of their time money and resources towards recurring objects, kind of like the low testosterone version of Tyler David, who just spends his whole life occurring the ideal little old furniture objects from IKEA or whatever to complete him himself? Fucking c'est la vie!.I suppose one of the biggest innovations in grand things about bitcoin is that, 99.999% of people could never afford a single family home, a single-family house, a single-family home home ownership. As a consequence, people pour all their money and resources into superfluous stuff like materials, material objects, iPhones, shrink it gadgets and wizmos, etc. I also wonder them, as a consequence and offshoot, what does then promote also is drugs, and alcoholism because once again, people have no other way of expansion, and as a consequence, seek escape and escapism from this otherwise cramped and depressing life.Something that's actually kind of shocking to me is that, I think the whole time I actually had no idea but, it does seem that the honest truth is that having a big ass house, a big ass plot of land, a single-family home, with a big ass backyard, with room to expand grow develop and build, is in fact, a quadrillion times better than renting an apartment. Especially if you have a young kid.Also for me as an adult, it's kind of shocking because I never thought that I would actually like only a single-family home, sweeping up the home, etc., and as a consequence, I think the big thing that I learned is the reason why you should never take peoples advice or ask them for their opinion is because they are not the same shoes as you.For example, like almost 100% of people are employed by somebody else but not themselves.Honestly it is extremely rare for me to ever meet anybody who is successful and also self-employed, ideally a sole proprietor, kind of like my friend Todd Hata, and more recently, a guy I bumped into named Codey,,, who apparently does set design for T-Pain, and also design for Shaquille O'Neal.  I think the wrong thing that people tried to chase is Security stability and perhaps some sort of like arbitrary notion of a big income? And as a consequence, people end up making the wrong life decisions because .Your thoughts shape reality AutomotonManly.aiHow to become more manly .Perhaps the purpose of having had is to just keep your head warm, you don't actually need to block the sun? Then ironically enough, once the sun is out, take off your hat? .Men, standing men, are superior to cars, stationary, short carsIt is true that the Germans, have superior craftsmanship, attention to detail.For example the Audi, Audi Q7 is like 1 trillion times better than any Tesla car.Then the question is, what is better quality, Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche Ferrari or Lexus?Also a bold idea, is it possible that Lexus could create some sort of new sub brand, or even more of an elite brand, which is like, the Rolls-Royce version of Lexus? Like imagine making some sort of like Lexus Rolls-Royce phantom?,The virtues of bark for a backyard… It's good at absorbing moisture?.Inefficiency is a virtue I guess getting my film Leica MP was a good idea it's kind of amazing because even after all this time, it still works amazing! Even going through major technological changes like AI etc.
