That sounds like the right compromise. Most of our home projects have been family affairs too. The kids usually have fun with demo and building stuff. Thatโ€™s how I grew up in Flint and those skills have paid off.

Thatโ€™s a big project! You have to haul it all away yourself too??

Donโ€™t do it! ๐Ÿ˜† Also I love STATA but get ridiculed for using it. R is so inefficient for me and I like the visualization in STATA and ease of formatting/edits

Anyone on here teach undergrad statistics and started integrating AI both for student use and for your teaching? Planning to spend the next month retooling our undergrad stats+methods series w responsible AI use. Have lots of ideas but curious what others have done. Please share!

Maybe one of the takeaways is that professors and scientists should spend more time with real people and get out of the bubble. I agree with that.

Was the point of this supposed to be that most scientists arenโ€™t rich? Probably had to be there ๐Ÿคท There is no universe where professors are blue collar. I know plumbers who make more than some starting faculty but their jobs and access to influence are way way different. I donโ€™t see how this helps.

Spent this semester experimenting on how AI could enhance my stats and methods course. Plenty of uses and also some fun. Made this AI track to explain when you need ANCOVA ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿค“ suno.com/song/33d938c...

The same damage being done to the stock market is being done to our health, securities & environment, there just isn't a stock ticker to show how bad it is for the others.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they donโ€™t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Iโ€™d be shocked if there was any consequence. Thereโ€™s been no consequence for anything so far.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

I love how everyone comes together to rally for those last couple of runners in the distance events at high school track meets. If only the rest of life were that way.
