Perhaps in tribute to a famous Belgian that was removed from the Index of history? (General knowledge crossword clue)

Oops, should have said exponential growth. Obviously exponential decay is natural.
06.11.2025 23:21 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I hope it includes the word "exponential" and says that it has nothing to do with epidemiology whilst referencing Farr (1840), Kermack-McKendrick(1927), etc. etc.
06.11.2025 23:20 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I've seen several stochastic epidemic models that break the laws of Maths. The bridge between the two subjects is probability theory. You can use it to calculate the odds that an epidemic will grow exponentially.

Good luck. I hope you never say an epidemic grows exponentially. Although that was debunked in 1840, 1927, ... lots of people still insist on telling everyone that they failed basic Maths.

It had the same effectiveness as most others and the advantage that I needn't carry a knife to go with a surgical mask designed to stop pressurised bodily fluids from entering the nose and mouth when the wearer stabbed someone.

And yet there are millions of Aussies, mainly on the coast. I once worked with them on a site with 4 different species of snake including the most deadly and an official snake catcher. We also had platypuses, Asian geckos (used to leave chalky white turds on my desk) and, presumably, spiders.
22.10.2025 22:44 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The first question that I asked Grok was how epidemics grow exponentially. So it told me. It should have told me not to be so silly and provided references back to 1840. LLMs are as ignorant as the average person. i.e. the weights are trained by "common knowledge"
