Boring in here tonight!

Did you or he peek?

I didn't but I heard him saying "wowza" as he walked away.

My experience is in math and computer programming/science and involves mathematical logic and inference to solve a problem when normal methodologies are too slow or burdensome/tedious. I remember getting compliments from my profs at Tech because I used heuristics to solve problems and I did have a knack at it. The profs would only give me half credit for solving a problem because I didn't show my work.
It did get me into an artificial intelligence program under Prof Gough and we had conference calls with ...



Wait for it rickyb ...




Noam Chomsky! LOL

So it's a fancy way of saying that your guessing at something

With a track record of being right a large percentage of the time ... definitely not a guessing situation.

Maybe I'm misreading what it is then

This is an example of heuristic applied to reduce effort to reach a conclusion.
Again, this is a mathematical application of a heuristic.

⇒ is a logical symbol for 'implies' (this is a working assumption)

If A ⇒ B and B ⇒ C and C ⇒ D and D ⇒ E and E ⇒ friend and G ⇒ friend then A ⇒ friend but A does not ⇒ G

in general 'If A ⇒ B and B ⇒ C and C ⇒ D and D ⇒ E and E ⇒ friend' is a rigorous methodology that results in A ⇒ friend conclusion.
.............. A ⇒ friend is a heuristic approach that eliminates ~80% of the effort.

Where do I find that on my See'n'Say ??

What if the variable are not static, but change. Would you consider Heuristic to be a good approach to the problem?

wow , put some umlaut on that explanation

Ja, mein Herr Kommandant

It depends ... normally, heuristics are application specific.

I was just going to say that.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

Damn!
I’ve been up for 3 hours!
Where are all you losers?

 

[Old Man Jingles]

I do think it’s great that most people are spending time with and friends this Thanksgiving!
Kudos and Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[Old Man Jingles]

This is what happens when you move back 15 feet from the bonfire when a guy yells ... Last Year's Christmas Tree Inbound.
Should have moved back 30 feet!
Yep, that's me in the bonfire picture looking at my shin!

Looking much better!

 

[vantexan]

Looking much better!

Now, about the rest of you......

Hopeless from the neck up!

Hopeless from the neck up!

You'll fit in quite well in the Corner Bar forum.

Where are the CE Losers tonight?
I don't like being the only loser in here!
