the statistics heuristic i want to teach everyone is to LOOK AT THE SCATTERPLOT i want people to be going around saying "SHOW ME THE SCATTERPLOT" and then they show you some ridiculous noise with a line drawn thru it. you can literally just ignore the line

dang it's really annoying having to click "Reject All Cookies" every time i revisit a website like shouldn't there be some way for it to REMEMBER that i've clicked some button, when i go back to the same website?

ok so all of the wikipedia text is ~25 GB (compressed) can a 25B parameter model reliably remember pretty much ~all the facts in wiki? if not, how many params does it take? 2x? 10x? is it possible it's less than 1x?

"House elves are WHAT?!?!!" said Harry. "Crystalized cosmic power," said Draco a second time. "This is basic, Harry." "But modern wizards don't understand cosmic power, the most powerful form of magic, something that incinerates everything it touches if you conjure even a cubic millimetre of it???!!" "That's only if it's not in crystal form," said Draco. "Crystals are safe. My family has had a house elf for years, it's totally fine." "And house elves don't look like crystals," said Harry. "They just use illusion magic to look like elves. Friendlier-looking." "So the cosmic power, in crystal form, just really wants to serve humans? That's how they work?" asked Harry. "Of course not," said Draco. "The first cosmic power crystals we tried growing just did random stuff. But we figured out that if you grow them in certain environments, they have different effects. Eventually Pinfield the Wise crafted the Elf Room -- it's basically a greenhouse with 786 different items arranged in exactly the right way, and that gets the crystals to grow into a house elf." "Seven hundred ... and ... eight-six?" said Harry weakly. "Yeah, it took a lot of experimenting," said Draco. "You should like that. Experimenting. It's your thing, right?" Harry was having trouble speaking. "We just experimented with the items until they started following instructions," explained Draco. "At first they just kind of did whatever they wanted. But then we changed the items in the room and they got more helpful so we kept tweaking until they always follow instructions. We couldn't get rid of that weird clothes loophole -- not sure why that happens -- but it's fine, doesn't really come up in practice. Anyway they like the whole setup." "They ... *like* this whole setup???" Harry repeated slowly. "Of course," said Draco. "Ask any house elf. Well besides Dobby. But he was a mistake. The next batch they fixed it and no other house elf claims to want freedom anymore." Harry made a strangled gasping noise. "In theory we should be able to make house elves that do pretty much anything," continued Draco. "Cosmic power is really powerful. At first we were super disappointed that the original house elves could barely use magic at all. Those elves were grown in a room with only 164 items. Primitive!" "And the current method has 786 items? That's the maximum?" asked Harry with growing dread. "The elf scaling curve is doubling roughly once every three years," said Draco proudly. "We expect to break 1000 items by Christmas. And the capabilities are looking really promising. Imagine a house elf that can do your Charms homework for you!" "Look," said Harry seriously. "I'm all for harnessing cosmic power. I have been ever since I heard of it. It's the strongest force in the universe. We could use it for so many things. We could end death." "You get it," beamed Draco. "So do you want to join my father's elf lab right away, or--" "But shouldn't we *understand* the spells we're using to summon unlimited cosmic power first?" said Harry quickly. "Not just grow crystals of it haphazardly??" "Be serious, Harry. The crystals work. There are house elves all over Hogwarts. They follow instructions. They're happy to follow instructions. They do all kinds of tasks for us. House elves are the future." "But--" Hermione burst into the room, wearing a t-shirt with the slogan: SERIOUSLY PAUSE ELVES WTF. "Come on, Harry, hurry!" she says. "What is it?" asks Harry. "Ron found out about house elf risk and --" "Oh no, what's he going to do. Please tell me you explained to him that we shouldn't firebomb any crystal fields because --" "No, but almost worse," said Hermione. "He's starting a competing crystal field, to 'do it the right way himself.' He's already raised 17 billion sickles--"

do thermostats in celsius have to support like ±0.5° increments? or does europe just not have AC so it doesnt matter

idk i think he couldve had some backup or test miner at 0.1% which is still worth 9 figures. no reason to draw global scrutiny for *nominal* billions that might collapse orders of magnitude anyway if you touch them

"the purpose of a system is what it does" i mean yeah? like a coffee maker's purpose is to make coffee. this seems really obvious?

it is a simple cultural misunderstanding when a nerd DMs w a disagreement abt your writing, this is a bid for a friendly back and forth where you exchange ideas and have a good time however for normies, this reads as an attack. "u are wrong and dumb." wtf why say to a stranger

imo learning new stuff as an adult is OP sure you don't have the chance to be a child genius but 99% of children don't get that either you can use your smart adult meta skills to progress way faster than most bored/confused kids
