Leavitt: What you guys hear from Trump and see from him on social media and TV is exactly what we see and hear from him behind the scenes. What you see is what you get

@Rohanburdened @Massimo26472949 @Math_files No that fails to be a probability measure on the natural numbers. It's not even well defined for all sets of natural numbers, and it's not countably additive
English
@Massimo26472949 @Math_files I'm not sure you need a uniform distribution over primes to make that kind of work? Cant you just say "lim as n goes to infinity of (# of even primes < # of odd primes < n) = 0" therefore 0% of primes are even? (of course, that doesnt mean no primes are even)
English
2 is the only even prime.
But the total number of primes is infinite.
Therefore the probability that a given prime number is even is 1 over infinity, or zero.
Hence it’s impossible for a prime number to be even — and hence 2 does not exist.

@HunterEKozak @ChadNotChud While that's true in continuous distribution the OP is right. Probability measures must be countably additive. If X is countably infinite with uniform distribution those combine to make p(X) infinite
English
@ChadNotChud No, the issue is that 0% probability doesn’t mean impossible.
English
Mommmmmmm, people on the internet are assuming there’s a uniform distribution over countably infinite sets again

@robertgraham It's what the Constitution says, I don't see how it's debatable under current law.

I'm a centrist, so I don't know the answer to this. Do Democrats actually want "birthright citizenship" as the actual policy? Or do they simply oppose Trump acting like a dictator toward his racist goals?

BREAKING 🅱️
RFK Jr is preparing to ban Pharmaceutical Ads on TV..
Thoughts?

I am a Democrat. I would never support AOC for president. It would be suicidal for the Democratic Party to choose a far left extremist as our candidate.

@generalsteez69 @AGPamBondi You should sue whoever passed you in a civics course. It's absolutely legal for an employer that's not the government to do this.
English
This is blatantly unconstitutional. A private employer cannot fire an employee for their words. It’s called freedom of speech. Please step in and take action here @AGPamBondi.

The Chicago Bulls are waiving guard Jaden Ivey after his recent anti-LGBTQ comments amid several rants on religion and other topics, sources tell ESPN.

@Its_Strez Sorry hard to tell when the post you're responding to just shows me "This quoted post is unavailable"

@JreSeawolf Yeah if it's really automatic on the first charge move then baiting becomes irrelevant

Analysis HAS begun but will likely hold off for a short bit to see how this mechanic shakes out….

Taking the chicken straight from the pack into the frying pan is nasty. I don't trust anyone who doesn't wash their chicken. I don't care how good the finished product looks.🤢

@HawkEmDownChris Phil Collins wouldn't be first so this is easy: Neil Peart

@probnstat C is closest , but you also have to know how important that 1% is compared to how important the latency is
English
ML interview drill:
You have two models:
Model A → Accuracy: 92%, Inference time: 5ms
Model B → Accuracy: 93%, Inference time: 200ms
You’re deploying to a real-time system.
Which do you choose?
A) Model A
B) Model B
C) Depends on latency constraints
D) Always higher accuracy
Reply with your answer!
Bonus:
What tradeoff are you optimizing here?

@CynicalPublius First I need to consider what drugs you're on to make this assertion.

Barack Obama deliberately sought to make Iran a nuclear power.
Consider what his intentions were in doing so.
