  1. Re:I can do better than that on New Estimates for Universe's Age · · Score: 0

    Sure pad're we took a stat course, published research and know the rap. The problem is NOT with confidence levels being quoted, but what ARE those confidence levels! Are they interesting? Novel? Insightful? Doesn't look that way to me unless they are explicitly pointing out we know LESS than we thought !! Now there's a thought.

    Female science ya gotta love 'em! SoCal fems ain't nothing if not certain ... So the dame is also 100% sure her new nail-polish would rub off in a clinch. Shoulda checked her lip-stick too!

    Wrecked babes? So is this analysis, pad're. A confidence level of 95% is just BARELY acceptable for scientific results ( unless it's "social science" spew or anti-smoking crap ... ) . Between 11 & 20 BY? What a joke. Maybe my 1-hand-clapping fortune-cookie sez "between 3 & 30" ... haha! Where's 6_sigma? Something like '16.9 +- 0.2' would be something of value. Might just include some of those "older", non-BigBang stars, eh?

    Yeah, and you spew nonsense like an exploding kidney stone. FIRST fact of life ... life is corrosive, and earths oxygen mostly a byproduct ( not to say defense mechanism ) of its organisms.

    Your restraint is admirable ... yes, there exists NO OTHER habitated planet in the entire cosmos besides earth. None nada nix nyet nothing. Everything is cold, hot and dead. Unliving. Never was never will be. Utter desolation, absolute hostility to all values associated with life, from one end of the cosmos to the other ... should such ends exist ... We the living are a historical freak. Singular. Deal with it.

    Wrongwrongwrong pad're. The ideal is not that WE (humans) become more like the machines ( or accomidate ourselfs to the soulless bas*ards ), but that the machines be configured to kiss our royal butts. Wherever that happens to be. A robots first rule is to do NO HARM to a human!! So can the algorythms byteboyz and crank-up the heuristics. Get the drift, pad're ??

    Which way is "easier"? Why do you ask, pad're? The GUI produces a syntactic entropy of [ 2 ^ 9 ], while the CLI gives [ ~ 2 ^ 35 ]. Even for the very smartest person ( x^n -> nLNx ) the GUI is 4-times easier. For everyone else there is NO comparison !
