I was looking for proxies and I stumbled upon a website that was really into Discordianism. They called themselves terrorists but I don't know how worried I should be or if I should report them to someone.


Just let em be. Move on.


I've gone on an infinite crab island tangent of first discoveries.


So are Taylor Swift's lyrics just so empty we cannot recall them half the time?


How could an ai, programmed with the bias of people that already suck at predicting the weather, even get close to being accurate?


You don't train the AI with the forecasts made by other systems. You train the AI with the actual weather that was measured hours/days later.


Weather is a complex mix of many systems. The traditional approach is to understand all the systems and add them together. Since we don't understand them all fully, we get a lot of chaos.

The ML algorithm doesn't care about the science, the agendas, the theories, nothing. It just looks for patterns in the data. Instead of an exact calculation it's more akin to numerical analysis. Turns out that looking at the whole in this case, is better than the sum of the parts.


The people who predict the weather are often damned smart and very experienced.

It's the problem that's hard.


Has there been any evidence at all of fairies and the like recently? Because any evidence would be world news if it seemed real enough


I see fairies, but they aren't supernatural spirits or something like that. It's similar in nature to deja vu, so if you don't interpret deja vu as prediction of future, fairies are similar. The Predator's optical camouflage is inspired by this phenomenon, fairies look similar to that, just smaller.

> People with significant vision loss may have vivid recurrent visual hallucinations (fictive visual percepts).[4] One characteristic of these hallucinations is that they usually are "lilliputian" (hallucinations in which the characters or objects are smaller than normal).[5]


Does TESS know of any habitable planets in that system?


Define habitable. It seems hard to detect planets that are in the life zone (not too far, not too close) and small enough to be somewhat similar.


One telescope can't watch one star for decades to find planets in larger orbits. All transit-based exoplanet detection will naturally bias towards detection of large planets in short orbits around small stars.


Trees are really one of the best climate change combatants. All the trees in the world absorb twice as much co2 yearly as humans put out.


What is Soulmeet?


what is this


Samsung Galaxy S8. It's affordable, the battery is good considering how much I use it. I don't need a lot of gigs so it works for me. If it kicks the bucket anytime soon I'll get a Moto.
