Any non-paywalled version of this?

What a delightfully insane abuse of Nix. I enjoyed reading that immensely.

As far as I can find, Cordis didn't exist before they shared it with this harness. It is very likely that its because I didn't search in Chinese (as I don't know it). Can you explain the evolution of it from the different ver

You have to enable explicit opt-in to use models hosted in China now. This changed in July +/- 2w. I already used DeepSeek, but it was nice to make that explicit for people that were concerned.

I physically cringed at both the quote and the surrounding section. The idea of this project is cool, but the amount of LLM glazing is bizarre.

> capable of breaking SBCL's jaw What exactly do you mean by this? Speed? Portability? Ease of use?

Even better!

Totally get that. I was mostly just long-windedly complaining that the one problem I have with it seems to be exacerbated by, not fixed, by this. I was also hoping someone would say “oh it’s actually way easier than you think, see (amazing

I applaud the project, and I completely agree that the concepts maps nicely to SQL. The R equivalent of a WITH data prep block followed by the VISUALIZE is pretty much how all my plotting code is structured. However, I don't see what t

Most of the memories I have of my grandmother are post-serious Parkinson's progression. She was able to live a very long life, but it seriously affected her. Good luck, hoping for the best for you. Fuck Parkinson's.

I’m not sure what your professional experience is in, but as a counterpoint, I’ve never been in a situation where I hadn’t wished for a system I’m working with to already be in a Bayesian framework. Having said that, I only occasionally am

I shorted it and it crashed the page. I feel like that was appropriate. :D

My go to for teaching statistics is Statistical Rethinking. It’s basically a course in how to actually thing about modeling: what you’re really looking for is analyzing a hypothesis, and a model may be consistent with a number of hypotheses

Any time you start conditioning on something, i.e. selecting subsets of data to analyze. You can fool yourself quite often if you do something seemingly innocuous like select "everyone with at least one X" and compare expectations

This is beautiful whether you interpret it genuinely or as satire.

Agreed wholeheartedly. I have argued with the VP of our department about this paper quite a few times. I feel like Breiman sets up a strawman that I've never encountered when I work with my colleagues that are trained in the statistics

Sometimes even eye to brain to hand latency is too long...

Very neat, but audio doesn't work on desktop either. (Linux, Firefox) I had an old-school generated voice say "Chinese letter Chinese letter Chinese letter." It was definitely amusing, but I don't think that's what

Wow. I thought you were being glib, but the average comment length is noticeably higher in the linked discussion. While length isn’t necessarily a valid proxy for meaningful conversation, this was definitely an eye-opening contrast to the c

Yes but your library still legally obtained those copies in the first place.

Ah, I did not realize that the `realNVP` was a link! Thanks.

Thanks! I've read the first one before. I'll take a look at the other two!

I'm very excited by the work being put in to make Bayesian inference more manageable. It's in a spot that feels very similar to deep learning circa mid-2010s when Caffe, Torch, and hand-written gradients were the options. We can

There's no reason you still can't!

I am not the author of the book! As far as the wiki: It's not hosted. It's just on my local machine. You basically just drop the minified JS library in a tiddler and then create a custom widget type and a ViewTemplate to automatic

I love TiddlyWiki. I've been developing a highly non-linear document for some conceptual documentation with it at work. If you want to see what you can really do with TW, or want to learn how, check out Grok TiddlyWiki ( https:/&#

Ah, I see. I read the article, but not the links. I even searched for eigenvalue/eigenvector to see if I was crazy. The first linked article is very good. I always enjoy Ian’s work.
