Linear Regression a.k.a. Ordinary Least Squares assumes only Y has noise, and X is correct. Your "visual inspection" assumes both X and Y have noise. That's called Total Least Squares.

I agree with your reasoning, I guess we just have different values. I value science, defined as unbiased pursuit of truth. I personally don’t see politically biased institutions that care more about far-left propaganda than truth, as founda

Why would you otherwise oppose Eich’s private bigotry against gays but ignore educational institutions’ institutional bigotry against white men? Both were the topics of my post you first replied to and the rest of this thread

You’re opposed to bigotry against gays but fine with bigotry against men and/or white people?

They're not self-immolating. They're being torched down. It's a solution. No other solution has worked, or been proposed. Remember Brendan Eich? He was excommunicated because of a personal political view, allegedly becaus

Well, your opinion is literally illegal. You're legally (and technically) prohibited from re-programming GPS modules, GSM modules, and probably many stuff in cars as well. (Actually, maybe contractually when it comes to GPS modules.)

Yeah that’s the point. Now instead of just writing good code, I’m also supposed to debug shitty AI code.

Yeah, it's very easy to get into a situation of "type is a subtype of a larger version of itself" which obviously grows without bounds. But the solution is trivial - basically the same as the old mathematical issue "set

Probably AI generated. Every actual human with lived experience in society knows, that real life is much more diverse than school. In school, there’s at best a few cliques and mostly a single social hierarchy. After school, even during s

I don't think photosynthesis "just adapts", it evolves quite slowly (if it could evolve faster, it would be much more efficient!). Also, your geological timelines are way off. Last interglacial period (with temperatures highe
