  • IIRC there were some polls for how helpful LLMs were by language/professions, and data science languages/workflows consistently rated LLMs very highly. Which makes sense, because the main steps of 1) data cleaning, 2) estimation and 3) presenting results all have lots of boilerplate.

    Data cleaning really just revolves around a few core functions such as filter, select, and join; joins in particular can get very complicated to keep track of for big data.

    For estimation, the more complicated models all require lots of hyperparameters, all of which need to be set up (instantiated if you use an OOP implementation like Python) and looped over some validation set. Even with dedicated high level libraries like scikit, there is still a lot of boilerplate.

    Presentation usually consists of visualisation and cleaning up results for tables. Professional visualisations require titles, axis labels, reformatted axis labels etc, which is 4-5 lines of boilerplate minimum. Tables are usually catted out to HTML or LaTeX, both of which are notorious for boilerplate. This isn't even getting into fancier frontends/dashboards, which is its own can of worms.

    The fact that these steps tend to be quite bespoke for every dataset also means that they couldn't be easily automated by existing autocomplete, e.g. formatting SYS_BP to "Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)" for the graphs/tables.

  • I respect the pedantry, but I was trying say that I was using the "Anglo" - which in casual speech is short for the casual "Anglo-Saxon", itself short for White Anglo Saxon Protestant.

    I remember I had this exact same conversation IRL, and we determined that the confusion and somewhat jargony nature of the latter two terms (especially since WASP isn't well understood outside the US) was why people in casual speech just use the ambiguous "Anglo".

    Semantics 🤷‍♂️

  • Poor people using spices to cover rotting food is a complete myth falsely attributed to the Middle Ages. Spices were incredibly expensive and a luxury limited to the upper class - anyone rich enough to afford spices did not have to worry about rotting food.

    The actual reason for the perceived blandness of White American food is basically the converse of this. Stereotypical white suburban food is probably closest to mid western cuisine.

    The mid west was uniquely isolated from Spanish, French, or Italian influence (which were heavier in tastes), lacked international trade to get any spices, and as the nation's bread bowl specialised in and received lots of subsidies for growing staple crops, like corn.

    Ethnically, its white populace is overrepresented by more Anglo ethnicities, like the British, German, and Nordic, which also had more, shall we say, limited palates.

  • Because marrying for love is a very recent development when it comes to the institution of marriage.

    Marriage was created for the primary purpose of passing down family wealth, and ensuring that it stayed within the family. Marriage was a tool to secure political and economic relationships first and foremost. For most of history, consent between the couple to be didn't even matter.

    This fundamental reason behind marriage predates most religions, who later co opted it.

    As time goes by, the actual reason behind traditions gets lost and forgotten, so most people just have some nebulous obligation to marry ingrained within them, e.g. my grandparents got married without even knowing each other, so people should be satisfied with anything better than that.

    This extremely problematic history behind marriage is also why some progressives perceive marriage as an oppressive institution that is impossible to reform, and seek to abolish it entirely.

  • Vaporeon was NEVER compatible for breeding with humans at all! Firstly, they are not even in the Human-Like egg group, and most of them are male anyway. Since the 4chan post warped the facts about Vaporeon's biology, I will now clarify this matter. Hydration only works in the rain, and Water Absorb, which has a more dangerous ability that I'll elaborate more on soon, doesn't mean your Vaporeon will turn white after you pull out. I know this because I cleaned sperm bank toilets long ago. Their eel-like skin makes it impossible to grope them too. Also, what the 4chan post failed to mention is that Vaporeon can control water telepathically, meaning it can create Kyogre-like tsunamis at will, and, thanks to moves like Scald, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, and Hyper Beam, Vaporeon has many more ways to unalive you. It can also learn Detect and Toxic too, so don't explore that "deep sea cave" for "treasure." Vaporeon can also force the very same water it can control to enter a person's orifice until they explode, as well as being able to enter any human orifice, just like the candiru fish, with it eventually reaching any vital organs in the human body and ensuring those organs rupture thanks to its water-based biology. This allows the Vaporeon to exit the newly created corpse easily. Now here is the ghastly truth about Water Absorb: since humans are 65% water, if a Vaporeon was inside a human body, it could absorb the water until the human was nothing more than a withered corpse. Oh, and here's a fun fact: if a Vaporeon rematerialized while it was inside your urethra, your wiener would instantly explode. As for the moves that Vaporeon can use to make itself horny, the thing is that the rest of Vaporeon's kin can learn those moves too, with Leafeon, Glaceon, and Umbreon (who has more results on Rule 34 and e621 than Vaporeon) having higher defense stats that would blow Vaporeon out of the water any day of the week. Acid Armor won't even change that.
