if i were a frequentist i'd definitely be strongly tempted to devote myself to design-based inference -- the only frequentist approach for which you can be really sure that your probabilistic assumptions are correct

(if Trump is an asset (which seems likely to me) that ship has sailed once already

i just wonder what they did about it)

i wonder what contingency plans the intelligence community has for a foreign asset becoming president

you know they have one, they're professionally paranoid and not exactly given to transparency and accountability

i have just learned that this app has a feature where you can create a list of people to follow that enables others to follow the entire list with one click

so you're probably on a few of those

Naked Came the Stranger - Wikipedia

why would someone go to the effort? even in 1969 people were doing social criticism by satire in this vein

without the word "even" reads like LLM output

there's so much of it that an LLM was probably involved in its creation but it's actually very funny and LLMs, like i said, produce mush, not ridiculousness

gonna be real with you, this is giving "i told an AI to write a sitcom script" more than actual LLM output

the thing about LLM output is that it's mush, carefully tuned to minimize emotional impact

so the word "even" in the second sentence clangs in my ear like a comedy sting

that sentence

the menswear guy has definitely increased the degree to which i am Terminally Online a wee bit because i don't even care about fashion but i'm cheered up when i see that politicians' quality of tailoring tracks quality of policy views
