yeah you could machine learn it or you could just take a sample and do boring rear end statistics. I guess the boring statistics won’t accidentally say a picture of fiesta cat has a 60% chance of being accepted to Science

the written test for a pilot's license has questions where you have to calculate weight and balance using graphs that look like this, photocopied just as poorly i.e. calculate the loading for front-seat occupants weighing 310lb, 12 gallons of fuel, and 20lb of baggage you're expected to be able to interpolate to at least half a grid square and ideally 1/10. you can't bring your own pencils in so you get a dull felt-tip pen and a plastic sheet to draw lines. the question requires multiple stages of arithmetic and the answers are multiple choice and will be like: 80.1, 80.2, 79.8. lots of people have no idea how to make a good test, apparently Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Sep 3, 2020 |

flakeloaf posted:minori~1.rpt It's kind of ridiculous how badly Minority Report failed to anticipate the actual consequences of police attempting to predict crime. E: Remember the part where the precog system is exposed as having made a single mistake under incredibly unlikely circumstances, so they shut the entire system down and release all the prisoners convicted under it?

and the mistake wasn't so much a mistake as it was a not-psychic loving up and dismissing the "you've got murder" popup cause he thought he'd read it already, and the only way for the precogs to communicate otherwise was to keep showing it to him it was fun as a "put on your robe and wizard hat and play with this premise for a little bit" movie but drat, don't think about it at all once it's over
