Living 20 minutes into the future. Eccentric weirdo. Virtual Adept. Time traveler. Thelemite. Technomage. Hacker on main. APT 3319. Not human. 30% software and implants. H+ - 0.4 on the Berram-7 scale. Furry adjacent. Pan/poly. Burnout.
I try to post as sincerely as possible.
They can, and they do. That kind of filtering is a grad school homework project.
I used to work for a company that did the kind of data analysis AdNauseam is meant to foil. It doesn’t. If anything, it was kind of a joke around the office because the kind of junk that it throws out is easy to remove with a little statistical filtering. Just one more step in the processing pipeline.
Stick to just entering fake data when you have to enter data.
Outlier profiles don’t get discarded. They get run through another statistical filtering step to smooth them out by eliminating the weird data points so that they’re less than a couple of standard deviations away from the core aggregate.
