Fair, but software engineers are especially known for this. There was an XKCD about it

This will get downvoted to oblivion, but consider a major change: enlist in the military, sign up for a stint on a commercial fishing vessel, or go work as a firefighter. You will have tons of time with other people, even live with them for extended periods, but they will also tend to respect your space.

that sounds plausible. For people not tracking, the concept of intelligence at play is "object based development". One analyst drops a label, brief synopsis, whatever, and it just sits there for the next person who comes along. The world view gets more accurate over time, but there's a recency error that's hard to measure until the probability function collapses with a measurement.

> The world view gets more accurate over time

Is that true? I can imagine it's true at first, going from zero bits of information to 1, etc. But information rots over time, and eventually a collection of old information may rot faster than new information improves the world view.

Also, the overall world view isn't especially important, at least not in this case. Each element's accuracy is what's important.

Hopefully each tag is accompanied by a date, at least.

The collapse in this case being the murder of children at school.

Yeah, Hanlon's Razor applies.

Table 1 and Figure 4: why are the Virginia controlled-access highways different? That population stands out in a way that smells like either a cultural difference or a policy difference.

I spend most of my time in California, have lived in SoCal and NorCal, and I spend a fair chunk of time driving around Virginia. My guess is that there's something fishy with the Virginia data being reported. Because if there is anyplace on earth with an insane number of controlled access roads, it's gotta be NVA/DC metro area (or the Tri-Border Area as I like to call it).

Also, they need to either update the caption for Figure 4, or move the plots to correspond with the caption. Clearly the Virginia data is on top (or the code is wrong, which seems exceedingly unlikely).

Speeding in VA just as you would in all other states literally becomes a criminal offense if you're caught. The data is reflective of that.

Possibly Bruno Villoutreix, but dropping this here to come back to later (and solicit help!)

You're saying Nial used guassian splatting for his video? Or the style of camerawork, staging, and costuming is similar?

Put another way, is this a scientific comparison or an artistic comparison?

It sounds like to me he [artist] was disappointed that more people were interested in his video editing than his musical efforts.

If you're using Windows, you're using a computer controlled by a corporation and your actions on that machine are not your own. Even if you walked into a store and bought it, your actions on that computer may not belong to your boss, but you're definitely working, directly, for Microsoft.

Any "feature" of Windows is there because one or more organizational leaders wanted it. Government, commercial, academic. Somewhere in between. But they pray every night for your more complete subjugation.

It kinda picks up where Eureka! Left off: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLISEtDmihMo3HR3Zh757Rf7ZG...

I thought they were going to go into Oliver Heaviside. Instead we get gutta percha. /sigh
