Der Kyhe posted:But obviously the windows is feminine and door is masculine and cat is she and dog is he and... you'd really struggle to find a language that doesn't have at least a few obtuse or baffling aspects. it's because humans themselves are obtuse and baffling

i didn't say that there weren't degrees of obscurity and obtuseness between different languages, just that they're all going to have various weird sides and corners because humans aren't relentless logic machines.

you see, a bar graph is just showing some numbers with bars. the bars themselves don't have to mean anything or represent anything

OwlFancier posted:Also generally just cut syllables out, I'm deadly serious when I say that a language where you remove all the vowels and just turn it into grunts is efficient because that's literally how a lot of english dialects and place names work, you sort of combine the vowels and consonants into a guttural syllabic bark and then string them together with glottal stops in between. It's the linguistic equivalent of beating someone to death with a sledgehammer and I love it. it's understandable too. are you going to say "chestesterton-west-upon-harrickhamshire" all the time, or are you naturally going to gradually cut bits out until you end up pronouncing it "cheshickshire"?

kissekatt posted:There are also diseases like Dengue Fever where if you have encountered one of the five serotypes previously then you will be immune to that particular serotype, but if you then encounter another serotype then you will get more seriously ill. It's one the main difficulties in developing a vaccine for the disease, if you do it wrong then you might very well end up with a negative efficacy. it's known as "antibody-dependent enhancement" and it makes me weep at the complexity of the human organism

Karia posted:Why would you ever need that many decimals on an r^2 value? I am rather unclear on how sig fig propogation to r^2 works, but I'm still pretty sure nobody's sitting around going "hmm, you've got a 0.14364, that's ok but if you could bring that up to a 0.14366 then we'd really be talking." it's because they just slammed the numbers into excel and copied out whatever it came up with into their hot take tweet. at no point do they need to have any understanding of any part of that process, or apply any reasoning or analysis

zedprime posted:Because that's what came out of their visualization software is the specific idea. But more generally the visualization software at default settings spits it out ridiculously far because as a measure there are important differences in a .9900, .9990, and .9999 fit and depending on the body of work on what you're dealing with you need an absolute ton of 9s for your regression to be taken seriously. i don't know gently caress all about statistics, but it seems to me that if the difference between .999 and .9999 is important, you should be using more sophisticated methods than R^2
