Well yes, I mean, all simulations are, right? You put as much real-life data in as you can, but everything's an abstraction unless you're the team from the Devs tv series.

What I mean is, the reason it's 71%-28% is that the actual % difference between predicted votes is very small. Once the estimated votes are say 10% apart, then you start getting a prediction that's more like 99%-1%, and the polls

In this case the candidates were very close. Fivethirtyeight's estimate had Hillary at 48.5% of the vote and Trump at 44.9% (and the rest on other canditates), only 3.6% apart.[1] Usually, when things aren't quite so close, polls

Fivethirtyeight had Trump at a 28.6% chance to win on the night[1], the web page is still up. I recall that being higher than any other polls I saw at the time. A 1 in 3.5 chance isn't that unlikely, it implies they're very close.

Worth noting maybe that although iOS 15 came out only in 2021, support for iOS 15 goes back to the iPhone 6S from 2015. Not very many people actively using iPhones older than that today.

In science fiction you can ask the superintelligent AI "What should we do to fix our recent trouble with climate change?" and it won't just give you can answer based on its existing knowledge. It might ask for more informatio

I can't believe people are taking your comment seriously. How far has reality moved into parody, if a comment saying you'll be happy to blame ChatGPT when people die doesn't go far enough to give it away? Maybe they're j

Yeah it did. One really impressive part of it that I recall was a tour of the set that was implemented like you were playing Myst, where you could go forward, left, or right from your current position. It would play a short POV video taken

It's great to have this kind of personal history written down, otherwise some of this stuff just gets lost forever. Our first DVD player came with a copy of the first Harry Potter film on DVD, and it's still by far the fanciest DV

It can get a bit better if the prompt is made more detailed. For instance here are the four results I got for "Professional black and white photo of Paris in the 1950s, on a rainy afternoon. Leica 35mm lens. --s 1000" (--s 1000 le

Here's an image result from MidJourney for "Paris, 1950s, rainy afternoon". No additional editing, and I intentionally avoided adding any text to the prompt beyond your own. https://i.imgur.com/IYuh29H.png No

Has ChatGPT actually read any books (apart from snippets on the Internet), or has that been avoided for copyright reasons? I wonder how long until someone pirates every ebook on Z-Library or SciHub and trains a language model off that. Imag

It's strange seeing this post describe heat pumps as if they're a new thing, and everyone commenting as if they are. I live in New Zealand and heat pumps have been standard in new builds for just about 20 years now. They're g

Just a note, the real thing disappeared a few years ago unfortunately, but the one I've linked is someone else's kindly archived copy from 8 April 2010.

You're not being stupid, I couldn't find that either. Although I do notice you wrote 9203 instead of 9023 in your suggested search. I get slightly more 9023-specific results with 9023 there: https://i.imgur.com/V5t

What's the ideal result you'd want for that search? This is what I get: https://i.imgur.com/t0roTR2.png

I've noticed that most people don't seem to look at things like this from a meta level. I was given that same quiz at school when I was about 12, and I remember I skipped to the end and read the last question (which reveals the tr
