Invisibilia: The Pattern Problem

A panel of judges sits to decide the fate of the young woman. She’s the child of addicts and an ex-addict and ex-felon herself, and she’s asking the court to trust her to become an attorney. The outcome of her case hinges on a question we all struggle with: are we destined to repeat our patterns, or do we generally stray in surprising directions? It’s a question increasingly relevant in an age when algorithms are trying to predict everything about our behavior.



Deep. What CAN you predict? ..and can the algorithms "work" re a single specimen, amidst n-others/all with beaucoup data-points??

a Snipe-hunt? :-)

it er, threw an Error or otherwise came up with a different Result.
I thought then ~~Jeez this shit just doesn't compute.
New Was she "born again"?
Or, at least, learn to fake it? :)

Transformations happen, but not very damn often.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
