I am a Bayesian but for the most part I don't mind p-values because for the common models applied in biomedicine, one can carry out a Bayesian calculation (we call those π - values with @AndrewPGrieve ) that are noncontroversial directional measures of effect

Deliberately rebuilding a 28TB RAID5 (4 X 7.2 TB HDD) to benchmark the process... it will take roughly 27 hours but will be enjoying the colors in the meantime.

This is where it gets interesting : at a word size of 1 bit, multiplication is just logical and. So is all multiplication just logical conjunction? Whereas the owner of the site is unlikely to be aware of the connection, first principle derivation of […]

Perfect example of an LLM output of coherent parts (sentences) summing up to an incoherent whole (paragraph).
Imagine this playing out at a larger scales by those who have adopted these noisy stochastic parrots at scale.

It is just insane, how severely #intel kneecapped i7's for scientific work. The 11th gen i7 offered the AVX512 instruction set which DOUBLED throughput compared to the previous and the NEXT i7 gen. To get the same throughput that this i7 delivers in our […]
