This is probably obvious, but there is another form of regression that uses Mean Absolute Error rather than Squared Error as this approach is less prone to outliers. The Math isn’t as elegant, tho.
I am getting really sick of wading through the 90% sh*t (e.g., this) to get to the 10% gold on this website, especially since I have not profited one bit from coming here lol
Which dictators are "in fashion" depends wholly on which party is in POWER. Polarization means that, perhaps, the dictator of Belarus can be kidnapped and arraigned by the incoming Democrat?
On so-called "gooning": you are confusing cause with effect. The cause is that women are no longer forced to marry undesirable men. The effect is that gooning becomes a means of sexual gratification among (mostly) those same undesirable men.
On "17. Wilson Effect": China's solution to this is to engineer its children genetically. How do you propose the U.S. maximizes its own genetic fitness?
Web development is perhaps "fun" again if you consider PHP 4 and jQuery as "fun". A "problem" arises for those of us who prefer Ruby, Rails, and HotWire.
I'm not gonna lie, I use AI every day (in the form of Grammarly). But LLMs and so-called "agents" are less valuable to me, even if they would help me to produce more "output".
It will be interesting to me to discover the outcome of this bifurcation!

Thinking/writing isn't "the suck".

The creators of The Enhanced Games/Olympics would disagree with you.
Which brings me to my point: Are we satisfied being "Top Slave" or do we want to be Free? Or do you believe that Freedom is an illusion?
> For the purpose of conversation, what the model appears to ‘believe’ probably doesn’t matter
This is wrong to the point of being absurd. What the model "appears to 'believe'" does matter, and the model's "beliefs" about humans and society at large have vast implications for humanity's future.
Iirc, in Lisp, closures are heap-allocated, unless they are created at compile-time with macros. Therefore, there is the added overhead of malloc and free calls with each closure created. Am I wrong here?
