spent my 40th birthday volunteering at my kid’s school. The third graders have to write a short essay if they do “6/7”. only one girl called the song “soda pop” her fave from KPDH. the others can’t like it bc it’s the bad guys

You don’t raze entire towns and cities street by street with controlled demolitions and bulldozers for any military objective. You do it because the aim is to wipe those places out of existence forever, and it’s not like they’ve been hiding this.

oh fuck I just shipped a function for weighted ecdfs

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

i think i finally got torchcodec to install

just one more notebook bro just one more don't make me write a python script just one more notebook I promise this one's different just one more notebook

kinda irresponsible to use this post title

Cheney was so evil that him dying actually lifted a curse

the lesson of zohran mamdani walloping one of the most racist campaigns in modern us history on the largest turnout since 1969 is that democrats need to move to the right

If you're a leftist this is the best day since... when

lol. lmao.

just learning about this Jay Jones character

score one for "the pundits are projecting their own preoccupations onto the electorate"

Haha unless

I have to spend hours trying to get torchcodec to install so I can test your paper’s code… that’s a what? major revisions lol?

It’s election day which means it’s time for my reminder that you shouldn’t just chuck everything into google translate. #fiestaverde

i'm peer reviewing some python stuff and it is madness just trying to get stuff installed

Dick Cheney won’t see your jokes, but your friends who orchestrated a destructive and illegal war based on lies and also shot a guy in the face will.

now to watch the democratic party trip over itself eulogising one of this century's defining war criminals

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Another slide from Shelley's lecture. I'm not sure that knowledge of this Missouri argument has spread much in poli sci/ con law circles. Missouri claims standing bc access to telemedicine mifepristone would reduce *teen pregnancy* and therefore *future population for political representation.*

I did this! It's a cool sticker.

A multi-day freakout about Mamdani's chances apparently happened because Millennials were waiting to vote until they could get the special Halloween-themed "I voted" stickers

oh come on i wasnt even doing anything weird this time

i have no expertise in your field which is why i am confident that AI can replace you and your work

i couldn't log in to my computer because my wireless numpad had a key stuck down and i couldn't find it and still haven't found it. i must've bumped whatever was pressing it down

Now I'm also looking for a research software engineer to implement a pile of research results to R packages loo, posterior, bayesplot, projpred, priorsense, brms or/and Python packages ArviZ, Bambi and Kulprit. Apply by email with no specific deadline (see contact info at users.aalto.fi/~ave/)

The “set” in the name is a set-theoretic set. It’s for visualizing how many elements are in each intersection area in a Venn diagram. It’s like a truth table with marginal frequencies

Boris has picked up a giant inflatable Buc-Ees mascot on their swing through the southeast and I love it so much.

Staggering atrocities in Sudan. Following the mass slaughter of nearly 500 men, women, and children at a maternity hospital, UN officials say: "The situation is simply horrifying... El Fasher, already the scene of catastrophic levels of human suffering, has descended into an even darker hell."

Married her yesterday.

we’re watching Christmas stuff already 🎄

most normies are not animated by hatred for trans people; they will accept a refashioning of their understanding of gender as long as it causes only mild to moderate disruption of their own lives. but, no way around that refashioning of gender. for normies, gay rights was a refashioning of love.

Version 2.0.0 of emmeans is out! Notable changes: new look to the plots, qdrg() now an S3 method, and new maintainer (me, Russ still highly involved). cran.r-project.org/package=emme...

Here's a short video of an Edison Park man confronting border patrol. You can hear others in the background. #chicago

Happy Halloween

one of the few kinda nice things about this period of time is that it's revealed, often surprisingly, which influential political figures actually believe in something

Windows 98 Plus: Mystery screensaver

here's a funny one. i had is_increasing <- function(xs) { # [...] is_not_strictly_decreasing && is_increasing_somewhere } is_decreasing <- function(xs) { is_increasing(rev(xs)) } is_decreasing(c(1, 2, NA)) #> [1] FALSE is_decreasing(c(NA, 2, 1)) #> [1] NA

i can never remember how pROC::roc() does things so my wrapper includes other options and wordy errors

student used some AI-assisted code to compute ROC stats with weights and the AI hallucinated pROC::roc(…, weights = weights). (the function doesn’t have a weights argument.) and because the function has a … argument, the fake weights argument was ignored without any warning

He said this because someone talked about The Cure’s DISINTEGRATION, a platinum album with several popular singles.

Has anyone actually written something on the apparently inability of the reactionary mind to grasp the basic themes and even overt text of Tolkien? Like at some point Gandalf turns directly to camera and says “the Men of Gondor sure are insufficient to this task, we need the hobbits to do it”
