I was a statistician, then a data scientist, now an AI applied scientist, without ever actually changing the real work. Still just dicking around with probability distributions.

The map behind her is also completely wrong. Australia is in the northern hemisphere.

My brain immediately went to Stephen Moore. But yeah, also the BLS guy who couldn’t pass a high school statistics course.

Hang on, I just had to pull up Bill Pulte’s wiki page, and he’s 37? How do all these conmen age so horribly?

Yes, but if we privatize access to data, think of the trading opportunities for the few people with access to those data.

Arkansas has the third highest crime rate of all us states. Over his entire state, their crime rate is only slightly lower than DC.

I use a very similar technique, but finish the sear with cast iron on an induction hot plate.

General comment on Traeger recipes, I’ve found a lot of them recommend too low of temps. For example, I like to do the 3-2-1 ribs recipe about 25 degrees hotter than what the recipe says, in order to get the right tenderness.

Serious AI companies take extreme care to prevent their models from training on their own outputs. The result is β€œmodel collapse” where the attention mechanism breaks down, and hallucinations skyrocket.

But of course Apartheid Clyde hasn’t bothered to read any actual training research.

A safety driver and remote monitoring?

Wait, so they built a robotaxi that requires more people to operate than just driving the fucking car yourself?

Tech bros incorrectly using the word β€œorthogonal” to pretend they actually took linear algebra, and aren’t business majors who have no idea what they’re talking about.

As a committed leftist prepper, go with the .308. More practical if you need to actually hunt with it.

The way they listed them lines up with the ISO 3166 country codes. But they didn’t bother to check if each one was an actual independent country.
