Why is "guessed" in quotes in the HN headline. That word does not appear in the article. They even say the following:

>The Bocconi team is the first to point out the limitations of the model. “We do not claim to predict the outcome of the Conclave,” Soda points out. “As the great statistician George Box said: ‘All models are wrong, but some are useful.’ Ours is intended to be a tool for reading the context, not an oracle.”

Trying to take a victory lap on something like this seems to fly in the face of the statistical thinking that goes into creating a model like this.

Also the explicit survivorship bias... this would not be near the front page if their predictions were all wrong.

Two reasons it matters:

1) Discoverability

2) "System structure mirrors organization". I.E., it's an indicator of a fragmented and disorganized structure that's not likely to produce cohesive product results.

With the iPhone XR being an existing namesake and "Android" being first understood to many as a type of phone, I don't think this was a good naming convention idea for a completely different category of product.

I don't think most consumers are familiar with the iPhone XR. They know iPhone, and maybe iPhone X, but I don't think the naming will be an issue here.

Here's a good one I just found as so many here were asking for sources.

This doesn't support your assertion- in fact it does the opposite. The definition(s) of inflation has changed over time. That does not make the current definition(s) less correct

The point of this paper is to demonstrate a method of training an AI to output interactive game footage. They could have trained it for similar results with DOOM videos. Presumably the footage they trained on was OK to train on (I don't think a video of someone playing a video game is copyrighted by the video game's author), but they could have used a variety of other games.

Surprisingly, Nintendo has a long history of copyright-striking videos of folks playing their games.

That’s almost demonstrably false if your goal is to get funded.

Just look at the pear AI guys.

There's a difference between "doing an illegal thing as a product" and "lying to investors about your product"
