issue with many variables and you cannot just dumb it down like this. Alas. OP is right, unnecessary fighting. Always unnecessary fighting. Let it go and do something nice for you today instead 🙂↕️

They shouldn't have ended their probability textbook on page 11 before conditional probability and dependent variables were described :P

Appliances using the internet is not a good idea. Too many variables of what can go wrong.
Hackers reportedly changed temperature settings on refrigeration equipment used by the French Blood Establishment, EFS, from around −30°C to 110°C after targeting its cooling service provider, Coolworld. It raises concerns about the health of frozen plasma stored for patient transfusions.

[putting these jokes through a really scary and dangerous-looking machine with the label "nuance applicator"] of course this is really more a matter of hiring practices and a number of other variables more than it is of actual talent pool

Cameron Yick at Datadog has been making fish like Chernoff faces to encode a bunch of variables about internal libraries, like how big / growing / active they are (eyes go to sleep etc), can be animated etc to get like five more variables through there

you know how bad artists feel when anti-AI writers generate book covers? same deal with programming. if you wouldn’t generate a story then don’t generate the code. learn to bash your head against missing variables like everyone else.
Some of us are fighting "AI" in code spaces, we are having an unbelievably difficult and badly-losing battle. I cannot tell you how disheartening it is when people from arts spaces, sometimes people with socialist politics!, throw their bit of weight behind the boulder currently crushing me and mine

Impeachment might actually impact / slow war planning. But damn there are so many variables & possible outcomes that it seems foolish to predict anything beyond the next hour.

For Democrats, a combination of variables worked in their favor to turn Iowa and much of the Midwest blue—but can they sustain it? @elainegodfrey.bsky.social reports: theatln.tc/vC5Oss9j

controversial: I think math papers should color variables so I can find where they're referred to in paragraphs. I just spent 10 minutes searching through multiple paragraphs to figure out what "u" means.

Zohran Mamdani didn't really fill any more potholes than anyone else. But because the very first thing people saw after electing him was him filling a pothole, it created the mental structure that he Was Different.
There's many other confounding variables, but it's hard to see how a win *hurts*.

I got tired of setting up the same CSS resets and variables for each side project, so I made:
loon-css.netlify.app
- basic set of CSS variables
- handful of utility classes
Adjust in the UI preview, then it's grab-n-go with `vars.css` and whatever I need from `styles.css` 🎨

Spurious Correlations
Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

Seconding the wargames comment. SO MANY wargames in my field produce irrelevant results precisely because they were poorly scoped (in terms of objectives, scenarios, or audience) or hand-waved too many variables to be useful in any meaningful sense.

-Faculty accountability. Because we had so much unaccountable faculty before?
