Angling the holster so that it’s already pointing at the target when it clears the waist

It’s clearly not, though?
I don’t think this is ai. Just filtered weirdly
4-Chan is a self-hate group. It’s full of people using slurs to refer to themselves, so I’m not sure you can really call this a non-cruel context
Known, yes. Proven, no.
Dopamine does a lot of things. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
So taking this would be all side effects and no benefits
It is conceivable that the glue was put there for another purpose, and the pigeons simply landed in it. That’s just not likely in this case
It’s basically a philosophy paper—epistemology, to be specific.
Frequentism and Bayesianism are philosophies of understanding probability and statistics, and this paper argues that Bayesianism provides a more clear understanding of truth.
To summarize their main points: P-values and confidence intervals and their ilk are confusing to the uninitiated and initiated alike, so their use should be discouraged. Undergraduates shouldn’t even be taught them since they confuse most people, causing public harm. All frequentist statistics at this level should be purged from education and replaced with Bayesian statistics.
And now we have a nice, comma-separated array of strings for wherever that might be useful ;)
A couple notes:
First, renormalizarion was hand-wavy when it was first introduced, but it has since been made mathematically rigorous. Additionally, renormalization is a mathematical process to make a theory self-consistent. If you consider it an odd idea because it is physically nonsense, I would caution against forming a physical intuition from any given accurate mathematical model. Especially with fundamental quantum mechanics—there’s a reason why there are several interpretations of QM and have been for a century.
Second, and arguably more importantly: this ScienceDaily article is extremely misleading. The original paper (linked by OP in another comment) says
So the paper does rid itself of the inflaton field, which is, as you said, a bit of a hand-wave. Crucially, however, it does not abandon inflation—in fact, it explains those “for no reason”s that you mentioned.
