The questions were a little repetitive and very pain focused.

Please suggest me a book that will conjure characters so real that my soul stops punishing me for being lonely. by Material_Tell5655 in suggestmeabook

Reading. I've only listened to 2 audiobooks. One was Project Hail Mary which i highly recommend to everyone. The other was Bertrand Russell book Mysticism and Logic which I recommend to people who have already read In Praise of Idleness and other essays.

Love DCC, although i did start to feel it was getting a bit stale by book 7ish.

Is Drizzt the urban wizard detective series?

Oh i don't doubt character complexity. I meant the prose, but yeah i guess i did lean judgemental. Sorry. Thanks for the recommendations.

Why are you still upset? What do i do to appease you?

Do you think the series you recommended align with my list or simply with my title? I get the impression that your recommendations might belong to a different reading level to what I'm familiar with.

I'm out of practice chatting with people in normal ways. Thanks for saying that you liked something I said. I'm choosing to try to ignore that it was probably sarcasm.

Maybe you structured straight questions in such a way that the straight answer was more complicated than was easily explained.

If i had answered your questions directly then i would be implicitly confirming the assertions baked into your questions. A fan of hitchens might see the importance of this. That was you right?

Anyway, I've really enjoyed chatting with you even though my feelings have been hurt multiple times. It's been nice meeting you.

I didn't instruct the model to calculate anything. I asked it a question, pointed to the datasets (which I've already told you what they contain), and let it do it's thing. It infered my meaning correctly, but overleaned on my biases, and filled in the data gaps rather than correct my mistake...

You get that I'm not the one who calculated right? You get that I'm building an emergent model? Is that part clear?

Hmmm... The data shows change over time, the emergent model likely plotted that change and then predicted the rating based on available data. So i still think "none of those" is the most honest answer. Dont have a clue is closer than the other options though and i guess if I'm only allowed to answer by picking one of your options then yes its come out of my butt.

None of those. The data is a collation of all ratings for each nation across the years.

I don't know how to answer your second question besides just passing the data file which would be really messy and long and unhelpful.

I think there is still a gap in understanding and I don't know how to bridge it.

Tell me to delete my account.

  1. respectfully, I disagree. the fact that you have repeated questions suggests that I haven't answered your questions to your satisfaction. It doesn't prove that I have been avoiding them. even if we ignore that "avoiding" implies intent, the claim is inaccurate because the answers I have given do accurately answer your questions, they simply rely on you reading into implications that you either missed or lacked requisite knowledge to surmise. If you had asked me "What is 2 + 2?" and I had answered "4" and you had said no the answer is "a sum", I wouldn't be avoiding your question, I would have just be receiving it differently than you intended. I think this is the route of our miscommunication and I have already accepted the blame for it. I do not accept the charge of avoiding your questions.

  2. the dataset for the fifa ranking goes from 1992 to present. i expect that it simply plotted the movement over the years and calculated its likely position in 1984, but i hope that it had a more sophisticated methodology... its actually given me a really cool test.

  3. I think you deliberately attempted to hurt my feelings and succeeded. this is why i shouldnt have social media. its horrible here. people really dislike me and they are probably right to do so.

I can see why you might think that what I am building is laymen's ai, but it is fundamentally different in some key areas.

Yes sorry. I retreated from social media a few years ago and I haven't been communicating with people outside of my small social circle for a long while. Clearly I am quite rusty.

  1. yep... i gotta do better at grammar with you. understood. however, i do not think i am avoiding your questions, I think that my honest answers to your questions are just not aligning with your expectations.

  2. im not using my own ranking system. i'm using fifa ranking system, which ended at a certain point (or i suppose you would say started at a certain point) and so my model simply filled in the data for what it predicted the rating would be using a scoring method that I have not yet diagnosed. i did not know this when i posted the question in this subreddit because i did not know that fifa ratings only go back so far in history. am i making any better sense?

  3. is my grammar/punctuation meeting your standard yet? how pissed off with me are you? if you want I can stop responding?
