Fix The Glitch
Reading about the computer mess in Tennessee shows why computer generated numbers can not be a reliable source of random numbers. Now, before I get into all of the conclusions, questions and possible lead in to a full blown investigation, we need to step back and look at this a little more carefully; understand what has happen in a way that gives rise to level of perception that was not present before this took place. I see many incorrect perceptions being thrown out into the public to...

Sorting modification worked, but...
After a morning of frustration chasing down error messages and trial/error placement of the sort. It did not end up working where I thought it should go. It ends up I had to read the per column data before printing, NOT before storage... otherwise the data did not retrieve properly. Because the print buffer was a dictionary data structure, the sort ended up as a one line operation using a lambda function anyway. It turns out it was easier to do in a lambda while getting the desired...

oops...999's January 2024 9 n Play Predictions Error
Here's the link to the numbers that were posted in error. It was entitled: SBIP999's Pick 3 All-State Combos for January 2024 Regrettably, the 9NPlay combinations were extracted from another month; however, because it was either from the month before or the month after--which is a strategy used to maximize hits--there was not that much collateral damage in terms of the amount of straight hi...

Grasping the theory, next step is coding.
The use of machine learning is a deep rabbit hole to be sure. Estimation functions, activation functions, error functions, gradient descent, weights... then there are hyper parameters that can affect the performance, layering, hidden layers, noise, bias... stateful or stateless LSTMs. The learning will be continuing throughout the coding of the first iteration. The desired output will be time series, one pick in each position for 7 days, since we know the dates. Why not...

Bush had not sought international alliances during the war in Iraq. Here's the correction: An article on Sept. 11 about President Obama's speech to the nation describing his plans for a military campaign against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, gave an incorrect comparison between efforts by the president to seek allies' su...

Error Traps Revisited - Part 2
Phase I work files are complete. I'll start working on submissals tomorrow. Hard copy will be submitted hopefully before the end of the week; posting of files to their website starts tomorrow. Took more time than I wanted, less time than anticipated. Change orders and error traps incorporated. It's about as good as I can make it....
