This choice clearly shaped by a falling out over me being unhappy with another paper due to a) again not properly citing prior work (by my past PhD student) and b) glaring technical issues. Instead of fixing the resolution was to remove me as author. See attached

Claude Code is very cool and helpful but also

Claude is back 🙏 but also even anthropic is still at this point

I clicked the thing and get this - what is it exactly?

Haha honestly it’s pretty nice! Eg from the repo

Hello, here is some new work called ‘Invariant Image Reparameterisation: A Unified Approach to Structural and Practical Identifiability and Model Reduction’. See arxiv.org/abs/2502.04867

Shout out to this random book exchange setup I found while taking my daughter for a walk!

(I also think that even if the current tech was frozen today it would still be massively disruptive to lots of things I do, eg programming, teaching, research, consulting etc, AGI or not. Also reading @emollick.bsky.social ‘s also great book on this…)

Just finished @melaniemitchell.bsky.social ‘s really nice book on AI. Just pre- chatgpt etc but good coverage of context leading up to recent explosion. Based on this quote I’d say at least 25 years to ‘AGI’. Will be interesting to see…

Man still only o1 can solve this. Not Claude, not DeepSeek not Gemini … (DeepSeek app can’t even extract the words from the image correctly…had to pass manually)

Eg this tracks my experiences with what they currently can and can’t do and how to use them. Think same sort of ideas apply when using them for science/math/engineering more generally (probably for artistic things too I assume)

Gemini 1.5 is pretty good tho!

Frequentist coverage will still apply if each interval is constructed to be a 95% CI for a given problem but only done once per problem/parameter, ie from Wasserman. (I disagree slightly with the quoted text in that I think you still need to build from the idea of conceptually repeating same exp.)
