How much would you wager? And what’s the house advantage for the scare quotes?

Got it, I’m curious about other biases and prompt context results. First that come to mind are Gemini’s very different responses depending on gender in the question.
If it exists, there are others?

I appreciate this analysis, but I wonder, setting aside unpredictable current events for the moment, aren’t seasonal and scheduled events also covariates? eg forecasting baseball scores year round?

While reading the book years ago, I did not visualize Isidora as a city with 9 houses, like a children’s book, or a little video game level intro, but so unlike Kublai Khan or Italo Calvino.

I disagree with sibling comments. You are correct to express the confounding implications of a word choice. And they have only detracted from the point you make.
Of course the design is cool and beautiful, but it is not the thing it is called here.

Yes, I am twelve, and so are the people that sold the cigarettes and profit from them.
If we won’t tax the bots for UBI, at least we can still have smoker-subsidized school lunches.

Given the shared source of the legal doctrines, I'd like to see the terms "superstition" and "irrational relic" properly applied to human incarceration as well, although the historical context recedes with every new generation.

Re:How Big Are Factorials?
on Thursday September 17, 2026 @09:51AM (#49740747)
I came across an interesting feature of factorials while making the puzzle books at https://www.kakurokokoro.com
The widest two rows are nine digits across, but while the first can be any of arrangements of the digits 1-9, the second cannot repeat any digits in the same columns, and so it limits allowable permutations to the number of derangements — which is close to 9!/e (where e is Euler’s Constant 2.718…)
No idea what this has to do with the relationship of i and pi.
