What the fuck is an influence function

I should meme this

In the middle of writing this paper and I can confidently say this ain’t worth it. There is little alpha in being an author on a paper unless you’re an academic. Never doing this shit again

Commenting "Spelling error" instead of fixing the error. Why? Just fix the error

Great issue for someone learning linear models! github.com/py-econometr...

Socrates would absolutely HATE my obsidian second brain for math I keep forgetting

Berry Essen theorem saves the day

I miss structured learning. Put me in a damn room with 10 other people, each frothy to learn some shit and out smart one another. That's the ticket

GIMME THE LUTE, GIMME THE LUTE

I've been offered 6 free months of perplexity, and managed to get 1 free year of Gemini with my university email. I would HATE to see the CAC for some of these products

I've been wanting to write a blog post about money (esp. how my perspective on money has changed going from a normal working professional, to poor grad student, to well paid engineer in tech). Would that be...interesting? Useful? The post is really for the person I was right out of my PhD

Man, the rail transit in Ontario is just garbage outside the GTA. 3.5 hours for a trip that would take me 2 by car? Why even bother with the rail

Wearing a jays cap feels like Kriah. People literally saying “sorry for your loss”

Morning after and I don’t regret being here. If anything, made the loss more terrible. The community shared the load

I don’t want to talk about it

Bottom of the ninth, game 7, bases loaded.

Watch party at steam whistle

“Cash only on the weekends” — oh you’re trying to bury your increase In revenue over the weekend due to larger customer volumes? Sure, I would love to help you evade taxes.

What a World Series

I’m not even mad about the loss. I had a great time.

Jays not doing well, but oh my god the tension

I RAN INTO MATTEA ROACH, JEOPARDY CHAMPION

Let’s fuckin GOOOOO

Stands for ticket master plus. I’m going to game 6 BABY

Fuck it, may not happen again for another 30 years

Hat: Acquired WeWork: Entered Coffee: Free Now just counting down the hours

Need a hat

Come with me as I try to get into a sports bar in Toronto during game 6 lmao

We have a WeWork in Toronto! I can be there all day!

Hotel booked in Toronto Fri/Sat. I'm gonna be in the city when it happens

Latest update to cursor allows me to chat with the ai. Like…verbally.

One thing I miss about twitter was the chronically online edgelords who sometimes posted a funny meme

THE FOURTEENTH?!

Hello, work? Yea, bases loaded in the twelfth. Can't come in

At this point, I just want to go to bed.

What is it like to be a grad student now that AI is a thing? Are we seeing more slop? Are people switching from SaS/STATA to python/R because the learning curve is much less steep with AI?

Game 1 of the World Series goes to the Toronto Blue Jays.

My suspicion is that restaurants change their menu to squeeze out more revenue, which inevitably mean lower quality dishes. Hence, change to your fave restaurant is more often than not a bad sign.

Me, as I plan the paper to describe all the ways we implement CUPED for different kinds of metrics

So I guess that sequel to the west wing is kind of dead in the water

Absolutely no better feeling than getting final jeopardy

A 75% reimbursement for fitness expenses is not that great when you pay tax on the reimbursement :\

Smothered mate IRL

Yea, couldn't get tickets. By the time we got in, they were several thousand a ticket

LMAO I think I can still get tickets

DAAA JAYS WIN

LETS GOOOOOO BLUE JAYS

Why is running so popular now?

Analytics friends, suppose you run a class base fitness studios with memberships. You want to create some metrics to help guide your business. What are some core metrics to track?
