@icedquinn ohhh hidden markov models are a fun one! R is meh, it does some things in a cool way but my god its awful as a general programming language.

I just spent three months having my whole team move their R project into python. First thing I did once I was hired.

@icedquinn Hey man how you been doin? Havent checked in with you in a while.

I ate a salad for dinner and I have been regretting it every since... never doing that again!

@stux

While we of course have far fewer people as adults that ride bikes here I'd say its pretty common, at least when I was a kid, for almost every kid int he USA to ride bikes. Most are riding at a very young age too, likely 6 - 7 as well.

@Pat Its not that things you are uncertain of are false. Its that things that dont have sources are most likely to be false.

Consider 1) things that tend to gain momentum and travel as ideas are things that are exceptional and extrodinary in some way, shock value sells.. 2) things that are exceptional are the most likely to have attention and therefore if someone could validate it they likely would.

So a lack of sources to validate something usually suggests of all the people who heard the idea no one was ever able to prove it, and the more people try to prove something and fail the more likely it isnt true.

@kreyren fair, the spam is frustrating for sure.

@rakyah girls arent people, dont insult them like that!

@Pat This is true. But it only works if you understand and accept there is a state between "I believe this to be true" and "I believe this to be false".. one that equates to "I do not have the evidence to make an assertion about this". It is also important to recognize the vast majority of things that fall in this middle ground are, in reality, false, but you just cant figure out which things they are. So if you must assume true/false then false is your statistically safest assumption to act on.
