Sports "analytics" is just the meta narrative bullshit of fools and a scientistic society willingly and collectively fooling itself via non-ergodic stochastic process taking the place of actual scientific progress.
This is a postmodernist, market fundamentalist, meta narrative that has basically nothing to do with reality.
As if there is some kind of no-arbitrage condition arbitrage, to be made between humans playing baseball.
This is nothing new though. Baseball is America's pastime in a very deep way. I collected baseball cards in the 80s like I was trading stocks in another bullshit, market fundamentalist delusion.
The key variable #1 to me is all these experiments are basically bullshit from a complex systems standpoint until we involve everyone, hence the U in "universal".
From a complex systems standpoint, it seems incredible intellectually dishonest to run an experiment in an isolated locality. Essentially, a hand wave of scaling the properties of specific and isolated local income to "universal".
Maybe I dream of building a competitor and Traumatic Brain Injury is deeply personal to me so I am super biased but it is super "meh" because of Cytoscape.
To me, Cytoscape is simply outdated and an arbitrary constraint on the software, a relic of network science history.
The deeper problem though is how valuable is network data visualization from an epistemological standpoint? Pretty useless from my experiments besides for a kind of scientism performance art. That is not to say scientistic performance art data viz can not be lucrative in a post modern scientism society.
Take this with a grain of salt because biological networks are never going to be my strong point. There is this huge node data viz scaling problem I don't think has been solved and I am kind of waiting for this to be solved with biological network so I can just rip off the idea.
My abstractions though are probably best served by Pytorch and Julia so Rust is just a waste of time, FOR ME.
