Very interesting. Nonzero correlation between two hazards.

Cool. I would have met a couple of these folks when they came over to demo the new system in Miami.

Exactly. If it’s happened once, it will happen again.

I want to believe… but..

Perfect for me. When you’re raised in a world of science your brain does not rest until you understand some level of ‘why’. Beginner music instruction and theory usually assumes you’re brain-dead and just take in, no questions asked.

This is analogous to what AI is turning into. Pretty soon, some folks won’t be able to tie their shoe laces without tech.

What has Hacker News come to… sigh..

Perhaps, however, this hacky language is more productive in the real world than most. What’s the point, otherwise?

Yes, it is worth looking at. My thinking was, how fast did that sequence revert back to the’mean’? It doesn’t take away from the author’s message though.

You’re welcome to go get the data and chart it the way you think it should be charted, and then we can have a conversation.

In the era of AI this is quaint. They ain’t seen nothing yet.

This is the kind of application which brings me back to shore as I feel I’m drowning in AI slop. Really well done and thanks for sharing.

Not to be too picky, but I think when the author refers to ‘number of samples’, he means ‘sample size’. One sample, one or more observations.

Reminds me of process I went through to create the charts for my humble grad thesis (1990-ish), by hand, with letter templates and one very expensive rotring pen. Then would transfer the figures to transparencies as backup for my defense. The real presentation was done using a slide projector (this was cutting edge back then, like over-the-top). Yes, took actual photos of my charts..

Gave back my green card the moment I left the US. No longer wanted the hassle and ties to an unpredictable regime. Haven’t looked back.
