Okay, show me this happening. Because literally every economic crisis I’ve had the privilege to live through, thanks the the Keynesians, the Chicago School of Business types, and Friedmans, has been associated with inflation.
Show me. Prove it. These economists make claims and don’t have to back them up with empirical data or theories that predict future states of the world.
I don’t make the assumption something is true because it sounds good and tells a good story. Prove it.

Cross validation is a way of calculating the likely uncertainty of any model (it doesn’t have to be a machine learning model).
A common cross validation approach is LOOCV (leave one out cross validation), for small datasets. Another is K-folds cross validation. In any case, the basics is to leave out “some amount” of your training data, totally removed from the training process, then you train your model, then you validate it on the trained model. You then repeat this process over the k-folds or each unit of your training data to create a valid uncertainty.
So a few things. First, this a standard approach in machine learning, because once you get stop making the assumptions of frequentism (and you probably should), you no longer get things like uncertainty for free, because the assumptions aren’t met.
In some approaches in machine learning, this is necessary because there really isn’t a tractable way to get uncertainty from the model (although in others, like random forest, you get cross validation for free).
Cross validation is great because you really don’t need to understand anything about the model itself; you just implement the validation strategy and you get a valid answer for the model uncertainty.

Im not being anti intellectual. I simply have no patience for frauds masquerading their metaphysics as philosophy.
In the end you can’t argue the point on its merits and are just engaging in sophistry. So we’ll come back to the first: you don’t actually know what the periodic table of the elements is. You should stop pretending you have a point if you can’t make make it.
If you don’t understand the difference between metaphysics and philosophy, its probably best you did neither.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 2 weeks ago:
Neither of the two constructions you listed would result in a periodic table. You don’t this because you don’t actually know what a periodic table is. Try again.
To help you along, please explain to me: why the elements in the periodic table are ordered as they are? Or more readily, what determines the ordering of the periodic table? I’ll give you two huge hints, and a name to help you. Search the name Mendeleev, and orbital and proton.
Keep in mind, this argument I had was several proxy-arguments downstream of whether or not transwomen are women. So, be aware of what waters you’re treading into.
So your telling me that I need to be cautious of you derailing the conversation away from it’s original premise?
Isn’t the rejection of post-modernism like a very Jordan-Peterson–like thing to do?
And there we are.
No it’s a very Noam Chomskey thing to do. Jordon Peterson, like most fascists, draws largely on the principles of post-modernists. For all intents and purposes, he is one, in that he relies on the idea that truth and reality are relative to justify his arguments. I agree with Chomskey in his critiques of both post modernism and fascism, especially in their arbitrary use of language and sophistry to disguise the hollowness of their arguments.
That being said, i’ll be keeping you to the premise and the periodic table for this discussion. It need not go further.
If the ordering of the periodic table were arbitrary, it couldn’t be a periodic table. It is only a periodic table by this very reason. When ordering by orbital and atomic weight, Mendeleev not only came up with a diagram that effectively predicted all of the observable properties of the elements, but also predicted elements which were not yet known to human kind.
And therein lay the difference.
Imagine a person is coming up with a dictionary for English. And in a dream they came up with some alternative ordering. And in that alternative ordering, suddenly, they not only had a dictionary for English, cut also Farsi, and Cantonese. Every language became interpretable through this reordering. In fact, the ordering even predicted languages that were not yet known to the person who developed the order. But the order stated that they should be there, or at least be possible.
This is the difference.

Dude I understand what you think you are saying and you are quite simply wrong. You don’t understand what the periodic table is if you think it could be constructed in some other way or that it’s organization is arbitrary or subjective.
No wonder you got the piss taken out of your in that other place.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 2 weeks ago:
yeah. you don’t understand the periodic table.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 2 weeks ago:
I mean that’s a pretty big difference right?
Like, the periodic tables mapping isn’t arbitrary or alternate.
Like you can’t actually map the periodic a different way and it’s in a sense “self evident” in a way arbitrary mappings aren’t.
The periodic table itself is a kind of proof of quantum theory, or at least, strong supporting evidence. While it can be displayed differently, actually couldn’t be arranged differently and the things we know about physics hold true.
