It’s not cargo culting, it does make a difference and there are papers on arxiv discussing it. The trouble is that it’s hard to tell whether it’ll help or hurt - telling it to act as an expert in one field may improve your result, or may make it lose some of the other perspectives it has which might be more important for solving the problem.
Papers I read on arxiv mostly say that persona prompting changes tone of voice and attitude, but not the quality of the answer, at least statistically.
Because to a 20 year old who is worried about getting a job, the value of getting all A’s and learning less is higher than getting all B’s and learning more.
> When asked by The Hill if Gallup had received any feedback from the White House or anyone in the current administration before making the decision, the spokesperson said, “this is a strategic shift solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities.”
Why bury the lede? Why not just say “it’s got nothing to do with Trump, we’re doing this because X isn’t a priority for Gallup anymore.”
if trump threatens them for making him look bad, and they cancel the polls and then say it was because of pressure, then they lose both the poll and make trump mad
Because there's a good chance it does have something to do with Trump? Gallup has Federal contracts, which means that a vindictive administration could potentially hold them hostage for reporting bad approval numbers. Eliminating their famous (yet inconvenient) poll removes that threat. This is more or less why the Washington Post is being destroyed, as well.
The company's own explanation is a pile of Gish gallop.
Because this is obviously the Trump administration putting political pressure on Gallup because Trump's poll numbers are among the lowest ever recorded?
>Trump’s Gallup approval rating as of last December was among the lowest the organization had found since it began taking the poll in the 1930s.
They also get less likely to commit crime, but that’s not how we gauge risk. We don’t generally say “that teenager’s crime risk is going down so they are less risky than that geriatric whose crime risk is fairly constant.” Risk probability is usually the area under a hazard rate curve.
Over a long enough interval, that reduction in risk would be important. So what is the appropriate time interval for these risk assessments?
Are you just mapping a text file of status codes to a single template? None of them are any different? Why make all of them instead of just showing the 404 page?
That's because you're using planned economy principles for your cities.
Remove all zoning but for industrial zoning, and remove prop 13, like it is in most of Europe, and the invisible hand of the market will transform most of cities into medium-density mixed-use like in Europe, though in your case likely accomplished with 5-over-1s instead.
And with increased density, maybe you'd even have space for some public parks again.
