Now that I think about it, I think my teacher called it just “lussac’s law” because you cannot pronounce “Gay-Lussac” in front of a classroom of 14 year old boys. I guess you are right about the stories, but I’m not sure the name actually helps with that

I’ll admit that was a bit of a stretch. But I also think the naming thing is a problem. Especially in mathematics, even when it is not named after a person, you often have no clue about what it is from just the name (i.e. what do you think is a magma in mathematics?)

👀👀 uh? Do tell me more!

I thought this was science memes! What’s statistics doing here?

Get them coconut electrolytes

Say no to statistics altogether. If we form a compact front, we can eradicate the disease of statistics from the face of the earth.

As motivation, I’ll explain why statistics is only good for stealing:

• Statistics is used to invest in the stock market, which is stealing by definition
• Statistics is the foundation of modern AI, which as of now is mostly used for stealing work and intellectual property
• There is no real statistical research, but every other paper is forced to have a little useless graph and a p-value made by some statistician, who steals fame from the real researchers who made the rest of the paper
• Statistics is at the core of the gambling industry, which preys and steals from the elderly and economically weak
• Every fucking formula for calculating probability needs to have a “mathematician’s” name even if it’s always sums and scaling that a toddler could come up with. Remembering those names steals neurons from students
• Etcetera

In Italy we have a hack ROM called “Pokémon Marron merda” (Pokémon shit-brown) that asks whether you have a dick or a pussy, and if you answer pussy it will reply with “I’m sorry but this game is extremely sexist, so you will now stay stuck in this room with no exit until you reset the game and choose dick”

did they open access their model weights?

In that instance it wasn’t really training, it was crowdsourcing the transcription. Rechapta would pull out a word from their book archive that the OCR failed to recognise, and if many people identified it as the same word, it would be archived. Now that rechapta has been purchased by Google, the archive and the transcriptions are available on Google books.

They stopped doing this once ai became more effective than rechapta for book transcriptions.

Modern chapta actually is about training models. But old, classic rechapta was really just about book transcriptions, and those are available.

You know, Hideki Konno predicted all this

What’s the bug?

Basically half the plot of quantum break

Nice

Does anyone have it without the text? I want to see the silly cat better

In the normal part of the diagram?

Good, I don’t want chatgpt to be a good product. I want the experience to suck so the world can stop pretending it’s useful

What project is this? I have never seen a reaction like that, if anything I’ve had the opposite, where I said it was a minor inconvenience and the maintainer said “what do you mean ‘minor’? This is terrible!”

That’s… Not what I meant
