My strongest food belief is we don’t need any “twists” on chicken and waffles. Fry the chicken and put it on the waffle

@aloctavodia.bsky.social has been porting Bayesian Workflow book avehtari.github.io/Bayesian-Wor... case studies to Python using CmdStanPy, numpyro, ArviZ, Bambi, and kulprit arviz-devs.github.io/bayesian-wor... He is working on porting the rest of the case studies, too

trying to get them hooked

been getting a lot of mileage out of saying “time to clock in” whenever i put the game on

asking claude to build something i designed in ms paint

impossible to be happier

My kids apparently call me watermelon and think my favorite drink is water and I’m good at socks

Georgia Ohtani

may we all have the confidence of Augie in her spidey gear

i've very rarely listened to ducks ltd without thinking "i should be listening to more ducks ltd". the only time i'm not thinking that while listening is when i'm already engaged in an extended ducks ltd binge

psa these are delicious

their first time to cracker barrel!

some of the cards are missing. we are stressed

Time to convert the next generation to also be Thomas nerds

double quarter pounder with cheese gets the ultimate nod for me because of the consistency. i've occasionally had poorly cooked or assembled versions of everything others have mentioned, but the double quarter with cheese has never let me down

and so it begins

spidey and friends never actually defeat sandman, he just gets annoyed and leaves

A week from today I’ll be starting part time with the Pirates as a Data Scientist! Happy with all my time at BPro, incredibly grateful to them for the opportunity, and excited to see things from a team point of view

horribly disappointed in the two curves Miz threw to righties yesterday

I would argue it is possible to be unimpressed by a hitless start

played catch w/ Georgia for an hour and a half straight today. Them getting older rules. Augie floated in & out of playing with us while riding her bike and drawing with chalk and jumping in puddles and throwing stuff into a tree and chasing us and wandering around the garage and doing a puzzle and

Can’t expect to win them all against *checks notes* Jake Irvin and Jorbit Vivas

y’all can’t be showing this damn Passenger commercial while I’m trying to get my four year olds into watching games with me

Holmes!!

Been playing w/ a PitchPro update that would let us decompose the value of a pitcher’s locations and Arsenal Metrics and also provide an estimate of the model’s uncertainty. The update did not solve the riddle of Bryce Elder. (ranks relative to ~150 pitchers w/ min 500 pitches)

Payton Tolle’s StuffPro splits on his sinker are maybe the starkest example of every pitcher being two pitchers: one to lefties and one to righties

Bryce Elder (ATL) struck out four and allowed one earned run in six innings against the Nationals

This is a cool story about Ron Washington but it also makes me never want to see him manage my team, ever. Why do that when it just takes away from the thing he's legendary at? www.mercurynews.com/2026/05/22/r...

all things considered i'm still relatively happy with how strider's stuff continues to look

Georgia was asking for an extra drink of water before bed, and Shelby said it was downstairs so Georgia looked at Shelby while walking up to me and said “who will get my water?” Then leaned against me while looking at Shelby and said “someone will” 🤦‍♂️

Shohei Ohtani's extremely impressive start to the year on the mound continued last night (5IP 3H 0R 2BB 4K) in the Dodgers shutout victory over the Padres. No surprise, but it was the Ohtani sweeper that was our SP Pitch of the Day

Dom Smith no way lmao

Braves legend Dom Smith

I do not understand 99% of passenger side screens. the passengers have phones, they’re not asking for this

June 2024: The latest general-purpose LLMs could not count the r's in strawberry. July 2025: The latest general-purpose LLMs get gold in the International Math Olympiad. May 2026: The latest general-purpose LLM solve an 80 year old problem, one of the "best-known questions in combinatorial geometry"

Gave a presentation today on working with agents, and afterward looked back at a similar presentation I gave at the end of '23 and had a holy shit moment of realizing how much things have changed since then

i had not noticed that the white sox have a type

another "hope he succeeds because his movement plot is pleasant" guy

been reading a book about the Apollo missions and all I keep thinking about is this tweet

this episode was so so so good podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

may have said this before but I want Noah Schultz to succeed simply because of how clean his movement chart looks. very pleasant

"The post pitching day penalty is still there for Ohtani but even in a small sample we can already see a sharp jump on Day +2, followed by a return closer to baseline on Day +3. That points toward what the Dodgers are likely hoping to gain" www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

The twins have a play cafe set up and when we asked who’s running the business they said “the workers”, my little comrades

it will be hilarious to me if the thing that finally unlocks Sasaki is throwing two different splitters (yes i know there's more nuance than that, do not enter my mentions)

holy shit a B- PLV!

on track for another FFFA pitcherlist card

y'all can't save the miscues for when elder is on the mound
