Stats For Bios

"even in the quieter professions, there is a toil and a labour of the mind, if not of the body, which seldom leaves a man’s looks to the natural effect of time."

Alright Jane Austen chill out, I'm just a bit tired this week.

Phwoar

Looks weird to me. But again, I know nothing.

Think I (having played almost zero 19x19 games) would try to build from the south west. So Maybe (11, 9) if that's how notation goes.

Though actually south west is less settled than I realise when I first looked. I guess black's alive there.

Think white has to go there at some point. Can't leave black the whole Eastern side.

Looks relatively calm compared to some other games at this level I've seen. Maybe. Not that I know anything.

*probably post

I should probably proof read. But nah.

I should probably about stats more...

Don't worry about assumptions.
New is better than right.
The ultimate application is unimportant. Dunking on other statisticians is vital.

Now seems that riding the wave is now important. People will ignore an album they dislike but people will forget an artist if they go too long without content.

Or I'm seeing patterns where the are none. Also totally possible.

Is there a tendency these days for artists to rush out an album soon after some sort of break through?

I feel I've seen it a few times. I know back in CD days, releasing a bad or different album after your breakthrough was suicide.

Going to ASTMH (first time!) in Nov. Any old or new friends going?

I watched a load recently. Absolutely love it. Hal trying to change a lightbulb or something and ending up fixing the car is a favourite

Got to the end of the album and listening to it again immediately.

Don't be put off by the first 2 minutes. Hold out until 2.02 to see the first inklings of beauty.

This one's definitely worth a go if you don't like black metal but do like post rock, indie? or maybe some other genres. There's some singing. And lots of beauty.

The Spiritual Sound

Usually when I get into a genre, I listen to a bunch of bands and quickly 3-5 float to the top and I abandon the rest.

But it seems like every month I find a new black metal band that I may love forever.

We quickly settled on the idea that detection in any formal, scalable way was impossible.

A table of stata prices. Standard is $94. "MP 2 core" is $275.

Wait, stata costs twice as much if you want to run it using 2 cores? And even more for 4 cores? Lol.

You can quite easily find examples of chatgpt not giving great code advice by selecting a very new package on CRAN. Useful for teaching.

Why include unadjusted estimates in a study when reporting adjusted estimates? Upon reading "The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology " or STROBE guidelines, one will find advice to (a) Give unadjusted estimates and, if applicable,

Sure, totally agree. And again other people can want what they want!

Hope that's good options to filter out videos. Horses for courses but that's not what I'm here for.

Sounds like right censoring but not sure you know when the censoring happens. You know the item was censored at some point after start time stamp?

Come on England. Great half of rugby.

Oh ok, pancake day here is definitely similarly co-opted by seculars. It's great. Poles have an equivalent fat Thursday where they eat donuts which I'm also very supportive of.

You're an ozzie? Interesting that you do HCBs, wasn't sure if they were UK only.

Do you observe pancake day? Don't think the US does.

Getting to the end of Grapes of Wrath on my re-read and really just want to stop here. I know it's going to get so sad.

Lab meeting discussion today is on how to come up with new scientific ideas (next project etc.). Looking forward to it.

Asked everyone to send in some science ideas. So we've all reminded ourselves what it feels like to come up with ideas. And we'll share our process a bit.

Incredible

Open question as to whether everything chatgpt says is by definition a meme (sensu stricto). But I'll leave that for another day.
