Re: Exodus 17:14

For the second time ever, I agree with Cuch. That would be rewarding terror. I strongly suspect that is not Cuch’s reason.

Re: UK going to the dogs

If it results in the AG being fired or resigning (pigs might fly!) then it would be an excellent use of taxpayers' money.

Can one reverse engineer AI to find out what someone, Cuch, say, “said” to ChatGPT to write so eloquently?

kat, this sounds like something that could be simulated. Could you do a simulation and upload it here?

Re: What is Starmerism?

The most unpleasant politician, Mandelson, gone. The Prince of Darkness is not being resurrected from this one.

Re: David Orrell's q-variance paper in Wilmott

I want to know how to simulate all this. Could you plot the following two pictures? 1. Pick T = 20 days, say. Now plot variance over those 20 days vs z (as already done) but join the dots chronologically. And only do about 50 dots, or whatever is not too messy. 2. Same as above but instead of a roll...
