For all that is good and just and nerd-some in this world, RT-this to help us liberate a hotend from @SliceEngineer. Cutting stuff in half is a noble calling. Cutting engineering tooling in half is positively divine. Can we fulfil this man's modest request?

Great question! Don't worry, you don't have to be a statistics expert! You can simply connect the dots. Easy as pie. Let's connect the upper & lower 95% confidence intervals for the boys in one graph using dark & light purple. You can see that it's a weird shape! The "truth"…

@1517fund Thanks for the comprehensive explanation! 🙌 This makes so much more sense now
The bar to support student founders is low. Visiting students at good university, was told “It’s nice @1517fund takes us seriously. [Other pre-seed fund] told us to f off. [Another] visits if they have a company nearby.” “A side-quest?” “Yeah, we’re a side-quest to them.”

Actually because of where I live it's half nuclear, it's 49g/kwh (and cheap too 7cents/kwh at this hour) instead of 670, so it's 6.7 x 670/49 = 91.6 So it's 92x less carbon for me to ask my ai to answer a question than to ask a human to breathe.
It all seems so silly towards the beginning.
This Sunday, it's worth taking a moment to remember that many of humanity's critical breakthroughs were dead on arrival. Electricity? Useless. What can you do with a Leyden jar? Kill a turkey? Integrated circuits? Overhyped crap. Steam engines? Impractical. Dangerous. Stupid.
