@amiloradovsky I have the same feeling. Either you know where to find your results already and go there directly or you're about to get shoveled with shit.

@whitequark Apparently they already do this for quite some time.

@acegikmo sorry for the confusion 😅

@acegikmo I'm talking about the variable names.
they can be position mnemonics so

the linear form would look like

l0 +
l1x0 + b l1 x1 +
....

This way one can easily sort them out to proper positions in the notation form and collect back to linear.

@acegikmo 's are just plural suffix.

x are variables in the middle matrix, that are now a

@acegikmo so the l's would be on the left and b's on the bottom.

also, s/a/x/, so x's would be on a row/column intersections

@acegikmo your "t"s are on the bottom and "b"s on the left

s/b/l/g
s/t/b/g

@amiloradovsky she's not interested in your degree, it's what you can do with it

@amiloradovsky "stop waiving your degree around and get to work!"

@amiloradovsky degree is offensive word, basically a "dick"

@amiloradovsky but also, main: "stay away from me you fucking main"

@amiloradovsky jack is a racial slur too.

“Those jacks took our jobs and corrupted our country.”

Il faut imaginer Sisyphe gagnant

@xerz @acegikmo looks like vanilla type classes to me...

@carnage4life CNet: Let's generate and post some random crap!
Also CNet: oh no, our ratings have tanked, maybe we should delete some old content

@reidrac@social.sdf.org Please go on. Let the game become its best version.

(Unless this block you from having something even better!)

@amiloradovsky i think using lognormal makes sense given it represents the long tail of "ways this can go wrong" while yielding to central limit nicely.

I just thought that ELI5 of it can be something like "estimating order of magnitude". Something like "weeks" is anywhere from 7 days to a month.

@amiloradovsky those "hours" numbers, are lower/upper bound? Mean/median? Anyway, there's a missing variance information. And usually that's what screws your deadlines. Sufficiently high average numbers aren't actionable.
