Reply to [Discussion] If ML is based on data generated by humans, can it truly outperform humans? by groman434
Of course something trained on humanS can possibly outperform a human. Is it a mystery to you that a tug of war between humanS on one side and a human on the other will have a known outcome?
Less facetious example. People have created 'averaged' faces (using machine learning) across all men and women and also across men and women of certain races. Is it a surprise that these 'averaged' faces are more attractive than the average person?

As an A-team connoisseur, she really wasn't exactly part of the team. She was more like an outside consultant, acquaintance, bringer-of-business to them, person-to-be rescued etc.
As far as I can tell, Tawnia was hired for the sex appeal, while Culea would later play and androgynous flat-chested alien and Rikers' love interest in that one fucking weird Star Trek:TNG episode.
That being said, I agree that I sort of missed her on the show.

Reply to Do you find yourself reading more non-fiction books and less fiction as you get older? by disruptivelychill
Yes, you are my spirit animal.
I just find the actual world many times more interesting than actual fiction.
The last fiction book I read was the Three Body trilogy, which I enjoyed very much. Probably because it had a lot of scientific speculation and extrapolation.

Reply to parks and rec or the office? by fundsoverbuns2x
The Office. I legitimately felt sad at the final episode, like a friend had died. For the finale of Parks and Rec , I felt like an acquaintence had moved across the country.
