If you had to bet against a free throw, would you bet against the first or the second attempt? What if the player were a rookie? And what if it were a specific rookie? Let's try to find out.

Attempted to execute a cell in a Jupyter Notebook in Positron to see what the dependency installation process was like...
It just worked, no extra dependencies, just Python.
Python data science tooling is healing.

Empecé con R/RStudio y fue un bajón cambiar de IDE para Python (terminé en VS Code). Hace poco salió la 1° versión estable de Positron, que mezcla lo mejor de RStudio y VS Code. Como pronto arranco a dar un curso en Python, armé tutorial de instalación:

At PyMC Labs I've been working with a group developing synthetic consumers for marketing research. We just published this white paper with an overview of work in this space -- and we have a blog post coming next week with some experimental results.

We just launched our first white paper!

By 2027, AI-generated consumers could power 50%+ of market research data.

📄 What’s inside?
✅ What synthetic consumers are
✅ How businesses use them
and more....

Really fantastic to host Jesse Grabowski on the show! I learned so much about #TimeSeries thanks to him. And there is still so much I don't know, so I guess you'll have to come back very soon Jesse ;)

Max Göbel and I recently submitted a paper to the MIT Sloan Conference.
We're using #HSGPs to isolate ⚽ players' contribution from team effects and introduce Skill- and Performance Above Replacement metrics.
Paper is still WIP, but we put it on Arvix to get first feedback!
