Yeah going high hasn’t exactly been working. Let’s give them a (metaphorical) kick in the teeth instead.

I hope their health insurance covers mental care.

Congrats you’ve fallen into a common stats trap!

You can’t know what the average is for the hypothetical society to which you are comparing despite that being the optimal way to compare. If you were to actually attempt this comparison, you would take two comparable societies that differ only in religious adherence, controlling for non religious cultural things (hint: you can’t separate those easily if at all). And even if you did manage that, you’ve only shown correlation, not causation. Proving the latter is much harder.

If it sounds like I’m agreeing with you, I’m not! I’m saying you cannot know one way or another. But your inane, tautological statement of “the average domestic abuse rates for society are about average” drove me to inform others of how terrible this argument is. You’re clearly a lost cause.

If you want to prove your point, don’t try stats, you’re bad at it. Go for a logical argument, though I suspect you’re bad at that too.

Jasmine rice. Makes a huge difference if you like white rice. Tastes like from a restaurant and pleasantly sticky.

But can you tell me anything?

Yes… but how?

Very true. I’m behind the US lens on this one so it’s easier to speak from what I experience. I know it’s… bad… elsewhere.

That’s… disingenuous. Lot of stuff happened between those points, including the murder of homosexuals for the crime of existing.

The LGBT community keeps the fight up because complacency gets our rights taken away. Justice Thomas has explicitly stated that gay marriage is on his list of wrongs* to right. To say nothing of Project 2025.

And to trick them into banning ranked choice voting.

Edit: spelling

Best use I’ve had for them (data engineer here) is things that don’t have a specific answer. Need a cover letter? Perfect. Script for a presentation? Gets 95% of the work done. I never ask for information since it has no capability to retain a fact.

There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.

If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.

My satisfaction

I agree in principal. But my comment was made to point out that the achievement of “bestselling author” is just not as meaningful as it once was. Many people like him cheat to get on the bestselling list so they can put that on the book and it’s as informative on the book jacket as “made with 100% beef”. Seems nice, but doesn’t actually mean much.

By definition, bestselling is what it is. The question is “does bestselling mean they’re a good author?” And that’s what we have reviews for.

Except that list gets manipulated all the time. It’s a known practice to order shit tons of your own book, get on the list for a week, and hand them out (or resell them) later.

It’s an issue with the machine learning technique, not the specific model. The hypothetical thesis would be how to use this knowledge in general.

Why are you so agitated by my off hand comment?

By measuring how it does with real images vs generated ones to start. The goal would be to show a method to reliably detect ai images. Gotta prove that it works.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is working on that as a PhD thesis right now.

Oh man. Set up a laugh track for a Trump speech with Harris’ laugh? I would pay to watch that.
