  • Is this to measure calories? We did something similar in elementary school, our teacher would light a piece of snack on hanging above an aluminium dish, and we would count for how long it burned. Then we looked at the packaging and the snacks with more calories burned the longest.

  • 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?)

  • Hey, in the end I got 28/30, I didn't just barely pass the exam. It just sucks because I don't like it and don't want to study or know about it. Also there is a lot of gut feelings involved in statistics. Don't pretend it's like an exact science or something. You make your calculations and it spits out a number and you go like "hmmmm I do not vibe with this number. This stuff feels more important so I want a better number" the calculations themselves involve a lot of "hmm this data feels like it benefits from this approach"

  • No, it's my belief. I was forced to do statistics at school from a young age, and it polarized me.

    It all started in kindergarten, when the teacher wanted us to take polls of stuff like favourite colours and such, and find the mode of the polls, and I didn't want to pay attention to other kids' favourite colours so mine were always wrong.

    Then it continued through elementary, middle, and high school, and I often failed statistics tests, because they always had you calculate ludicrous amounts of differences and squares and means and I would inevitably make mistakes. My maths average was 9/10 regardless, but I hated statistics.

    Then I had to take a statistics exam for my bachelor degree in computer science, and I failed and had to retake it next year.

    Then I had to take a second statistics exam for my master's degree in computer science that I'm pursuing right now. And I failed that and had to retake it.

    And this is how I specialised in formal verification and abstract interpretation. Many such cases.

  • 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

  • Yet another reason to hate on the worse DB in existence

  • 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.

  • Finite games are all definite, either player 1 as a winning strategy or player 2 has, all other "outcomes" are just mental illnesses. Get over it, math doesn't care about your feelings.
