Now commencing that Twitter using training AI models is, should not we plan use complete garbage grammar on it in order turning Musk's AI competence to incompetence total? Plan good?

50 years ago, my father liked repeating the aphorism "You can't win a war from the air." The IDF should have learned this from the 2006 Lebanon war. But did they? I can't find any news about them calling up more reservists, so maybe they didn't. Are they that incompetent?

For the two cases in the previous tweet, what is the expected size of the intersection? (Namely, of two subsets of 2^(n/2) -1 vectors, and of two dimension n/2 vectors spaces excluding the zero vector.)

Consider a binary vector space of size 2^n. Pick at random two subsets of nonzero vectors, each of size 2^(n/2)-1. What is the probability that they are disjoint? Now pick two subspaces of dimension n/2 and discard the zero vector. What is the probability that they are disjoint?

In this case, you're okay, because if you know BITCH is forbidden, there are only three words left, so you can try them all in six guesses. But it makes me wonder if this small a percentage of players use clever strategies like guessing HEWED, even when they are low on guesses.

But the New York Times wordlebot says that less than 1% of the players guessed HEWED or HOWDY ... most people (84%) guessed HITCH, WITCH, or DITCH, and presumably a good fraction of the rest guessed BITCH, a word that the NYT refuses to list even in its post mortem of the game.

After guessing PITCH in the third round, and finding that everything was correct except the first letter, it seems to me that the obviously best thing to do is to guess HEWED in the fourth round. That way, if the word is HITCH, WITCH, or DITCH, you get it in five.

I think it's time for Benny Gantz to quit the government of Israel and try to bring Netanyahu down. Does he really want to be complicit in the impending crime against humanity?

1/n: There are some academic papers that are so brilliantly and so accessibly written and so universal in scope that they transcend disciplines and stand as timeless testaments to both great thinking and great writing. Here's a short personal selection:
