  • I don’t think you understand statistics well enough to speak on this.

    2016 Presidential Election – Predicted Clinton over Trump with 71.4%.

    The above for example was showing outcomes of simulations. Many polls reported way higher outcomes for Clinton and he was one of the few models showing a trump outcome and Trump’s path to victory was in the simulation results. This wasn’t a fail but a success of his model

    Like when you are told that in a coin flip, heads is the outcome 51% of the time and hear every coin flip will be heads





  • These arguments are exactly why people hate vegans. It’s nonsense.

    Not only do you jump to an insane straw man. You showcase that you ignore a clear increasing contradiction around your world view and choose reactionary nothing.

    If you care about life realize the harder question. If you care about the environment realize clear inefficiencues. Currently, you showcase nothing more than crude thoughtlessness.













  • While that’s true that the earliest non-Christian source was Josephus, that doesn’t mean Paul (very contemporary figure) or the Bible aren’t good sources. We can read around the obvious fabrications and their bias doesn’t per se remove all historical value.

    The standard for historians (even critical ones) strongly support treating Jesus as a real person.

    This isn’t at all a win though for Christians. The Dead Sea scrolls are very indicative of Jesus as a non-unique figure. It was common for there to be Jewish apocalyptic teachers. Jesus was one of those.

    The better way of thinking about him in my opinion is that he was a real Jewish teacher who never claimed to be the son of God, that was mythologized by early Christians.

    Highly recommend a Marginal Jew by Meier or anything by Bart Erhman for Atheists.




  • If you are truly feeling super anxious, feel free to dm me. Have released gen AI tech though admittedly only in that space for about a year and a half and… Ur good. Happy to get in depth about it but genuinely you are good for so many reasons that I’d be happy to expand upon.

    Main point though for programmers will be it’s expensive as fuck to get any sort of process going that will produce complex systems of code. And frankly I’m being a bit idealistic there. That’s without even considering the amount of time. Love AI, but hype is massively misleading the reality of the tech.
