Given everything you said is true, under those assumptions 3% of those asteroids that we identify as being in said 2km box will hit earth, unless the forward simulation is wrong (implausible) or the measurement error distribution is subst

Then what does 3% mean? Surely it means "given the data we have, one in every 33 will hit". Since that empirically doesn't happen, it must be that "the data we have" has a very low prior probability of being real. I

I'm not sure I understand your point... The object mass does not impact its trajectory (unless it either touches our atmosphere or is so massive as to measurably change earth's orbit). The gravitational force earth exerts on the

This only works if there is nothing between "no impact" and "you die the same day as the impact". But we know that's not the case.

Unless one in every 33 asteroids that have 3% impact probability at some point in time actually impacts earth, there is clearly some unwarranted assumption in the error bar/distribution calculation. "The measurement data has noise

If you look closely, you can see that the model version is attached to each image, and the original blog post clearly states that asking the same model over multiple days is how they intend to track the variance. No bad logic there imo.

Yes, nothing about GPT4 changed today . But that's not the goal of the project (although I can't speak for the intentions of the submitter here). Currently there are two different GPT4 models represented in the samples, with quit

Not a frontend person, and unlikely to become one anytime soon, but maybe someone can shed some light into the downsides of Svelte? The article fails to mention any (it's apparently "win-win"). Presumably if Svelte were the b

"impregnate" is not wrong per-se, but it is weird in placing the emphasis on only one of the two people required. Usually you'd say something like "trying for a child", I believe.
