Breaking: Both #TucsonCouncil Democratic candidates are well ahead in early results. (Selina Barajas is unopposed and is having a great night.)
All four propositions on the ballot (depending on where you live it should be two props) are likely to pass, at least according to early results.

Black shirt guy had an omoplata *right there* if he just took a wrist grip, smh
A huge brawl broke out at the Bass Pro Shop grand opening in Odessa, TX. From the looks of it, no one was seriously injured...

We couldn't not rate this classic early DAG by our beloved collective granddagy, Sewall Wright.
14/10. Ten for the DAG, plus one for each cute guinea-pig node.
From Wright (1920) "The Relative Importance of Heredity and Environment in Determining the Piebald Pattern of Guinea-Pigs"

We (me + @alexip718.com) will be running a crowdsourced total crowd estimator for this weekend's No Kings protests, very similar to the one we did for June (www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-d...). Look for a spreadsheet or entry form from us by Saturday, and a preliminary estimate Sunday morning
"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions, rebuking Trump
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4-6 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

seems to me this is a proof that causation does not imply correlation. there is a clear mechanism for a causal relationship, but the quantity of thing-doing I perform has no empirical association with the quantity of things still to be done
has anyone actually proved a causal relationship between doing things and the things being done

I heard an ad on a podcast today from IBM about all the stuff their "AI agents" could help with. One of the main examples they gave was... a college freshman could use an AI agent to learn how to register for classes. So very transformative.
It's really incredible how every advertisement I see for AI tools is like "ARE YOU A BIG DUMB BABY WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ANYTHING IS OR HOW TO DO BASIC THINGS? USE OUR PRODUCT." Like? Hello?????

How long have we been able to pass a variational fit directly to the sampling function as an init method in cmdstanr? Huge quality of life improvement vs. writing glue code to extract draws and arrange them in the right data structure (which I did years ago for brms/rstan) #DataBS #StatsSky
