Pacquiao - Mayweather Jr: Why it wont happen.

Now that Manny Pacquiao proved he was right. What's next? Facing Floyd, that is. A thrilling idea that just became a concept: a what if. But why it will never happen?

Because Mayweather Jr. want's to retire as undefeated. This is the only reason I can think of. If you say he fears Manny, I don't think so. I bet he can stand toe to toe with Pacman. He has the skills. He is undefeated. And he knows how to box.

Now the question is why he wants to retire undefeated? Two reasons I can think of - money and/or prestige. You wont get anything else out of being undefeated except for those two. If you're undefeated, you're value goes up. You become famous. You have control over your fights... Things like those. Can't blame the man for thinking about his future. Specially if you have a colleague like Mike Tyson. Being reminded of how it will be without money will definitely make you think twice.

I'm just not sure why would he choose a good retirement over proving that he is the best. If I know that I am the best then I know that I can defeat whoever is placed in front of me. Specially for a boxer, nothing is more precious than proving to the world that I am the best. And for Mayweather Jr., that should be a piece of cake. That's if he, really, is the best.

Maybe this is all just work for him. A job that he was to do even if he doesn't want to do it. In a way that's being professional and I think I can admire him for that. But,being a boxing fan, or an spectator at least, I would think low of how a boxer he is. He maybe undisputed or undefeated, but he will never be the best or the greatest as far as my opinion is concern. Even without considering Pacquio in the picture, Marquez will be better or greater that him.

Being undisputed or undefeated doesn't mean being the greatest or the best.

White Paper: The Agile Transportation System (ATS) – AI-Driven, Routeless, and On-Demand Mobility

  Abstract / Executive Summary The Agile Transportation System (ATS) is a next-generation urban mobility solution that leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to revolutionize transportation. Unlike traditional public transit with fixed routes and rigid schedules , ATS operates on an AI-powered routeless model that dynamically adapts to commuter demand. It also integrates an intelligent passenger selection system to optimize seating, prevent congestion, and enhance accessibility. Designed initially for Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Philippines , ATS ensures on-demand scheduling, flexible vehicle deployment, and 24/7 availability . By incorporating AI-powered analytics, predictive algorithms, and real-time optimization , ATS offers a truly agile, scalable, and commuter-centric transportation system. Introduction Urban mobility is facing major challenges, including traffic congestion, inefficient public transport, and long waiting times . Traditional public transit operates on pred...

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Using First-Principles Thinking

Instead of just learning how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) works, let's break it down using First-Principles Thinking (FPT) —understanding the fundamental problem it solves and how we can optimize it. Step 1: What Problem Does RAG Solve? Traditional AI Limitations (Before RAG) Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT struggle with: ❌ Knowledge Cutoff → They can’t access new information after training. ❌ Fact Inaccuracy (Hallucination) → They generate plausible but false responses. ❌ Context Limits → They can only process a limited amount of information at a time. The RAG Solution Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves LLMs by: ✅ Retrieving relevant information from external sources (e.g., databases, search engines). ✅ Feeding this retrieved data into the LLM before generating an answer. ✅ Reducing hallucinations and improving response accuracy. Core Idea: Instead of making the model remember everything, let it look up relevant knowledge when needed....

Agile Transportation System (ATS) Values and Principles

Here’s a draft of the Agile Transportation System (ATS) Values and Principles. ATS Core Values Adaptability Over Rigidity - ATS prioritizes flexible route adjustments and dynamic scheduling based on real-time demand rather than fixed, inefficient routes. Availability Over Scarcity - There should always be an ATS unit available when and where it's needed, reducing wait times and ensuring continuous service. Efficiency Over Redundancy - Every unit must maximize passenger load without compromising speed and convenience, ensuring an optimal balance of utilization. Simplicity Over Complexity - Operations should be straightforward, avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy and ensuring seamless passenger movement. Continuous Improvement Over Static Systems - ATS evolves based on data and feedback, refining operations to enhance reliability and customer satisfaction. Customer Experience Over Just Transportation - The system is not just about moving people; it's about making their journe...
