Simulated Annealing

“No Kings” Sudbury, MA

It's disgusting that Terry Moran is being punished by ABC for criticizing one of Trump's minions, Stephen Miller, on his social media account. He spoke the truth. ABC's cowardly pandering to Trump and his regime only enables them to demand more control and censorship of the press. Despicable.

“If we didn’t get involved… Los Angeles right now would be on fire.” — Trump

This is a figment of Trump’s deteriorating mind. Protests have been mostly peaceful. Unrest is limited. And unless you’re actually here on our streets, your opinion is just that—an opinion.

There is a special ring of hell for “pseudo randomized”

A great read. Since null hypotheses are usually false by definition, and p-values are computed assuming H0, p-values are not very actionable. #Statistics #StatsSky

Ex-Hegseth Aides’ Mud-Slinging Ramps Up With Cocaine Allegation A battle between aides in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon didn’t end when the entangled parties were ousted from the Pentagon, according to a Saturday report in The Guardian. In fact, the sp...

This is an extremely important read. In medicine we want prediction, not classification. Beware of bad biomarker work that seeks to classify treatment decisions, rather than predict here

Pee Wee German said last night the global tariffs were the greatest economic strategy ever. Now reversing them is.

Comorbidity in Midlife and Cancer Outcomes This cohort study examines whether there is an association between different comorbidities and risk of incident cancer and cancer mortality.

A good example of confounding; clearly this can all be easily fixed with some do-calculus and pretty painted arrows and we have “unbiased causal inference” smh

The Donald J. Trump Stock Market Crash™

On top of layoffs, HHS ordered to cut 35% of spending on contracts Federal health agencies have to slash their spending on contracts by more than a third, on top of the 10,000-person staffing cuts which started this week.

"The Trump administration is totally destroying the infrastructure of the nation's public health system. It's amazing that they are looking to cut the parts of our health system that provide the best value for prevention and wellness."

What a clown Trump is

The 25% tariffs are going to cripple the auto industry - who can afford a car as it is, let alone with a 25% tariff on various parts or the entire vehicle?
A big thanks to the morons who voted for Trump.

Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server?

Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?

This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.

Post from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that reads: Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.

Circling back on this…

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Jim Himes: "This administration acts with an unbelievable cocktail of incompetence and illegality."

How about instead of doing a hundred Fox interviews this week, maybe Bondi could show up at the next hearing and tell this to the judge directly.

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?
