  • Hello? Is that the Electronic Geneital Verification program office? I'd like to request the removal of images of my penis from the AI training database from the voluntary pilot EGV program at Dallas Fort Worth....

    Oh, ah, yes, Tuesday it was... Yes, the 25th.

    Oh, er, my plane got in at 14:57 and it was after baggage claim and customs security, but I don't know how long that took.

    Yeah, between 3 and 3:30 sounds right.

    The ones just next to the McDonald's. Yeah.

    237? Oh. Wow.

    Jeans. Blue stonewashed jeans. I guess that wouldn't cut it down a lot?

    Yeah, I would definitely recognise it.

    Yeah, from the side, yeah, probably. I think so.

    Can you do evenings or weekends?

    No, it's ok, I can get Friday afternoon off. How long does it normally take to check through that many penises?

    Right. OK. I'll be there for 2pm. Thanks.

    Passport. Of course. Yes. Got it. Thanks. Yeah. See you Friday.

  • As a haskell nerd, I feel that I have the moral authority to declare you king of the nerds.

    "Ha! You think your language has macros? You call that a macro?! This list processing code is a list of tokens, why wouldn't it be able to edit itself?"

    It breaks my brain.

  • You were high when you wrote this question, weren't you.

    Literally, if you take away the time and lyrics, what's left is the karaoke backing track, and it's a big part of why you feel the way you feel when you listen to the song, but the words and the tune are too.

    A pattern of notes is a tune. A pattern of words is a poem. A pattern of vibes is a … what?

    There isn't a word for this, because there isn't an effective way to record or communicate it without the words and/or music, so there's need to talk about it without referring to the words and/or music that inspired it.

  • Critical questions include who would handle federal funding for low-income schools, disability programs, and civil rights enforcement.

    Why would you think that president Musk or vice president Trump want any of those things to continue to be funded?

  • Still mathematically incorrect, I'm afraid.

    Your point isn't valid because "people who voted" is certainly not a random sample but it is also not an unbiased or stratified sample of the population.

    It's very plausible indeed that (for example) democratic leaning voters were jaded and stayed home whilst republicans were excited about the disruptive influence their guy mightt have.

    Your sample contains no eligible voters whatsoever in the stayed-home category and it's heinous extrapolation to assume that your proportion extends into this group with markedly different behaviour to those in your sample, especially when the percentages were so close in any case.

    Using your logic, I could do a hypothesis test with a tiny sample of hundred voters and get my margin of error under a SL of 5% and claim statistical significance, because if I excluded people who voted in person or people who voted by postal vote, I would get strikingly different outcomes. Thus, if voter preference is correlated so markedly even by method of voting, it's absurd to suggest that there's no correlation over fact of voting.

    By your logic (statistical significance irrespective of how non-random and non-stratified a sample is), no pre election poll could ever be wrong.

    Statistical significance isn't the same as truth. How representive and free from bias your sample is are two things that are critical to the validity of your conclusions.

  • It's either footage from Epstein's plane of sex acts with obvious minors, or it's just that Putin tells him he's a great leader and everyone knows he's cleverer and better than Obama, Clinton and Biden. Trump is a complete sucker for absurd praise.
