- ekjhgkejhgk 10mo agoThank you!! I just commented the same thing, but people will eat any meme you throw at them, it's quite shocking. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46384274 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46384274 One thing that spending time talking to people online has taught me is how often what people say is just mindlessly repeating something they heard somewhere. It's also fantastic how I find your response more persuasive than mine, while using fewer words. Well done.
- oulipo2 10mo agoThat wasn't the point of the answer. The point is "How well do you really know someone?". You really don't. Many people live with partners who end up killing them, although they thought they trusted them. Besides, "Bayes law" is not on your side on this one, it's well-known that "regular people" are over-represented in homicide, and "autistic people" or even "schizophrenic people" are under-represented and are mostly harmless
- ekjhgkejhgk 10mo agoYou confused P(A|B) with P(B|A), stop doubling down.
- bondarchuk 10mo agoAll of that may very well be but correct reasoning is a prerequisite to talking about any of these points.
