The AI people co-opting and bastardizing "Bayesianism" is an unforgivable blasphemy and we ought to burn them at the stake like witches for their sins.

I guess I just have a way slower rate of hardware replacement (and no work computers). Never used matlab, but I remember learning python in the old 2.7 days

I know, I know. It was a very old install and it was somehow still working fine. I was just too lazy to update anything. But at some point things break and you have to move on 😅

Finally bricked my old conda environment and made the switch to uv. It really does look amazing as people say. Just troubled a little to make cmdstanpy work but it seems to be solved now! Never going back to taking an afternoon to solve the f**ing environment 😌

do you have a moment to talk about the word of our lord and saviour? ↓

Yes, JS is pain but cytospace is nice. The one time I needed it I ended up writing a python function to generate the data structure to feed into it rather than working directly in JS

Yeah, it's crazy, I didn't anticipate it either!

She sure runs more than me, 200km in less than a month!

I installed a counter on my hamster's wheel and I record distance and activity time every morning

I had some fun familiarizing with count models in Stan. Thinning a Poisson distribution is pretty nice! carlodebernardi.github.io/writings/occ...

Fully agree. Still, my grandparents experienced this dramatic improvements during their lifetime. I was born in the '90s and, except for some areas, my experience is at best one of stagnation. Might be that the delta, on top of the absolute value, plays a role in shaping our views...

So true though. I taught programming stuff a bunch of times and students are mostly ok, usual typos etc. Enter absolute and relative paths to external files and they just crash

Also, yeah, the usage doesn't make a ton of sense in the case you are describing

Definitely not straightforward if you don't know about it and it's not explained. But allows you to iterate over unique values (keys) and it's even better since default dicts are order-preserving (used to not be the case). Choosing the name of the iterating variable to be descriptive might help btw

Super practical once you wrap your head around it though!

Dropped some random thoughts about crowdsourced peer-review after reading a recent great paper by @lastpositivist.bsky.social carlodebernardi.github.io/writings/pee...
