There is one thing I’d rather see than Jake Paul getting his ass whooped by Anthony Joshua

This is so Artistic 😊

Interested in doing a PhD with me in epidemiology on causal inference and triangulation? In beautiful Rotterdam no less. www.werkenbijerasmusmc.nl/en/vacancy/1... Pro tip: if you get to the interview stage, there WILL be a question about ice hockey

First paper of my PhD with my amazing advisors! There’s been a ton of hype and media coverage on OpenEvidence as an “AI co-pilot for clinicians”… and our long-horizon benchmark puts them to the test!! Our results suggest they are far from reliable for downstream use.

New preprint! We introduce a new benchmark, SciConBench, with 9.11k scientific questions derived from Cochrane Systematic Reviews. We find evidence that frontier AI agents **cannot** synthesize scientific conclusions well. A thread 🧵 w/ @hayoungjung.bsky.social & others!

arXiv📈🤖 Rank Intervals for Leaderboards: A Hierarchical Framework for Model Evaluation By Neuhof, Benjamini

Gelman absolutely on fire on the blog statmodeling.substack.com/p/13-aspects...

I knew that quarto and revealjs slides allow you to incorporate .html webpages directly in your slides, but I did not realize that this allows you to embed interactive games directly in your slides!

New preprint out! When people debate controversial topics online, two forces compete: personal convictions and peer influence. But how much does each one actually matter, and does it vary by topic?

Only less than two months before our Missing Data Summer School starts! If you want to learn how to appropriately handle missing data in your statistical analysis, this course might be for you. We cover cross-sectional, longitudinal and experimental data and both inferential and predictive models.

arXiv📈🤖 Laplace Approximations for Mixed-Effects and Gaussian Process Quantile Regression By Nava, Sigrist

Gidi Markuszower doet een oproep tot “maximaal geweld” tegen Palestijnse vluchtelingen. Diep weerzinwekkende taal, een absoluut dieptepunt. Dit vraagt om een collectieve veroordeling, van rechts tot links, van Kamer tot kabinet.

This is literally Grok but okay

😓 18 apartments destroyed in a nine-story panel building in the Darnytskyi district, — Mayor Klitschko ‼️ The number of injured has increased to 33 people. Among them is a one-month-old baby who was poisoned by carbon monoxide.

arXiv📈🤖 LLMs as Implicit Imputers: Uncertainty Should Scale with Missing Information By Buuren

@beenwrekt.bsky.social brilliant as usual: "Indeed, the language of mathematical rationality is a Bayesian language game, always working to box out the unmeasurable and unquantifiable. It demands language without ambiguity, but of course, language is always ambiguous, fluid, and evolving."

arXiv📈🤖 Predicting missing values: A good idea? By Buuren

Is this where all the Bayesians tell researchers to stop using p-values?

This is cool. A modified Bayesian linear regression can outperform Gaussian processes for Bayesian optimization Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2512.00170 Github: github.com/colmont/line... #statssky #mathsky

Why on earth would you make a sleeper train with lights that cannot be turned off

And we’re off! My first night train experience

There are only a few spots left in our Missing Data Summer School, so be quick if you want to participate! Feel free to reach out if you want any additional information on the content or the programme. If you want to sign up, you can do so here: utrechtsummerschool.nl/courses/data...

Heading to Zürich tomorrow to give presentations at UZH and ETH. I'll be around for 9 days, so if you happen to be close to Zürich and want to meet, let me know! I'll be happy to talk about data privacy, synthetic data, missing data and statistics/machine learning in general!

If you're a faculty, research scientist, postdoc, or senior PhD in any area of science, select your top 6 virtues at this link: shorturl.at/bV2lF You can also tell us if you think we missed any. We want broad participation, so pls RT! 🙏 In collab w/@devezer.bsky.social @statmodeling.bsky.social

Hitler's NSDAP never gained the support of more than one-third of voters in free and fair elections! Just like far-right leaders today, Hitler came to power because of the collaboration of right-wing elites, who either wanted to "fight off the left" or thought they could play the far right.

What’s this thing that people pretend to be married to academia after getting enrolled in a PhD programme? Like, you can change professions halfway in your PhD, and 10+ years after finishing it. It’s just a job man

De ambulance die onderweg was naar de gedode journalisten werd ook aangevallen.

Geen enkele Israëliër die dit decennium een Palestijn vermoordde op Westelijke Jordaanoever is daarvoor vervolgd

Meet Mr. MICE himself! This summer, Stef van Buuren teaches 'Solving Missing Data Problems in R' at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social. Learn cutting-edge techniques for addressing missing data problems in statistics and modern machine learning workflows. utrechtsummerschool.nl/courses/data...

ok hive mind, give me holiday inspiration: I'm heading to England in November for a friend's wedding, seems ridiculous to fly all that way just for a couple of days, so where else is good to visit that time of year? I figure it'll be cold... ("meet your bsky mutuals irl" suggestions also considered)

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

I don’t know man, I think he was well underway defining his legacy already before starting all this.

Maybe I screaming into the void, but you shouldn't be using funnel plots to detect publication bias.

I have a joke about p-values but nobody gets it

Hey #rstats & #econsky: fixest v0.14.0 is out! In particular, it fixes a very annoying, false positive, warning message regarding the positive definiteness of the VCOV (when clustered). Please update! github.com/lrberge/fixest cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

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.
