When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

I’m convinced some professors do get paid per article. Why on earth would you otherwise crank out 200 papers per year?

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

Is ChatGPT trained on Hegseth, or is Hegseth trained on ChaptGPT?

The people with the strapped cameras be like: (it's in Dutch, but I promise you don't need to understand the language)

I went to LinkedIn to promote this, but holy moly, is there any human-written content there still? Literally every post is overloaded with unnecessary contrasts and an emoji before every paragraph

The course is offered by the mice development team in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and will cover how to deal with imputation in classical inference settings as well as prediction modelling. Housing can be provided as well!

what function is the biggest jumpscare to you. i'll go first, clear choice for me at least it's obviously the gamma function.

Some people are still debating whether or not LLMs are "useful," so let's stake out one clear use case: LLMs are useful for translating between languages. That includes translating between natural languages (e.g. Spanish to English) and, more recently, to formal languages (e.g. English to Python).

phd students hungry for those rare candies to finally level up

Oh and reviewer 2 is the personification of Team Rocket

Doing a PhD is like playing Pokémon: sure, you want to beat the final gym leader, but the sidequests are what make it fun.

I want an app that turns every instance of "utilize" into "use"

1. Iran had en heeft geen kernwapens maar heeft nu duizend redenen om ze nu wel te hebben. 2. Spanje? Je bedoelt het land dat de genocide in Gaza wilde stoppen? The audacity.

“KID, WE NEED YOUR GAS”

Suddenly the Bayesians don't like using prior information no more

"We are going to get a gun. Not one of the woke guns but one of the VERY powerful guns. And we are going to shoot in our own foot very strongly. Frankly, we are going to shoot in our own foot stronger than ANY OTHER COUNTRY ever did before."

Literally no one: Scientific reports: "... warm from move make more hot"

If you refuse to share your code, I refuse to take your results seriously.

Most men who changed history also had women who enabled them.

I’m reminded of this comic almost every time I check LinkedIn

Should I offer Kristi Noem asylum?

Do you know any other cool interactive applications that illustrate some statistical concept? #rstats #stats @rpsychologist.com rpsychologist.com/likelihood/

Which, I think, is a very fair point of view, given that anyone can make their package available via GitHub. So, if you want to enjoy the benefits CRAN offers, you must put in some work to accommodate the end-user.

DDoSing openai but then with queries it is, people

Straightforward right-wing agitprop. The idea that thousands of kids were pushed into gender-affirming surgeries because the left shuts down debate is a laughable conspiracy theory. The overwhelming social pressure is to be cis, not trans!

"GDPR is ruining everything"

shocking you'd rather say "95% chance" instead of "while this 95% CI does not carry a 95% (aleatory) probability of containing the value, satisfied as I am with its assumptions and lacking other prior knowledge, it induces in me a 95% subjective probability it contains the value" every fucking time

With very large numbers of n’s you don’t need randomization, and with LLM’s we can generate very large numbers of n’s, so I think all of science is solved by now. I don’t see any problems with this.

I don't know, but publishing in a journal called "penis" might be a sign that the content shouldn't be taken too seriously

Does anyone know an example (paper, blog post) where frequentist and Bayesian methods lead to different conclusions? #rstats #stats Or an anecdote that lead you to embrace one or the other approach?

Me, putting a strong prior on a Cohen’s d of 24: how so?

- real sus that you want to require specific ID to vote and then immediately set precedent to instantaneously invalidate people’s ids - this also includes a “bounty” on trans people using the bathroom. Which is so disgusting I cannot even express how bad of an idea this is This is deeply alarming.

🚨hey so this is absolutely HORRIBLE for so many reasons I can’t even fully list out. But a few: - licenses are immediately invalid, making it difficult to even get around to change license or god forbid APPEAL THIS DECISION

".. but Claude sa- "

It is so clear that their words don’t bear any meaning. If you truly believe “radical left” is a security risk, and that a company is “radically leftist”, then would you really want your government to do business with this company?

True! As a non-native speaker I’m always genuinely delighted when a reviewer remarks that a paper is well written (even when the paper is trashed afterwards)

Coincidentally this gif is also an exact depiction of code in base R <ducks again>

It's so ironic how often bigots talked about being "unpersoned" because people did not want to socialize with them. You know what's really an "unpersoning"? Having no driver's license in a rural area. Losing the one ID you need to vote or pay taxes or open a bank account.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

python is better than R <ducks>

Discord pausing its age verification rollout emphasises what privacy advocates have been saying about the technology: it creates a honeypot for malicious individuals, with no guarantees for users that the company they’re uploading their face to is safe. privacyinternational.org/news-analysi...

Unrelatedly, this is also how I picture the current US strategy to public health

The creator of the AI agent “Einstein” wants to free humans from the burden of academic labor. Critics say that misses the point of education entirely.

This is by far the dumbest take I’ve read today, which is quite an accomplishment after the State of the Union address. If you really think the point of school is to do production labour, I’ll advise you to, well, get back to school.
