Breaking news; PhD Student Thomas Henning revealed to have said
“The philosophical difference between Bayesian and Frequentist stats is fake; given that all statistical methods require assumptions and the debate is only on which of them to directly quantify “

Just general parties. The decrease in drinking and drugs is good. But is the trade off decrease in social engagement outweighing it? Maybe.

It’s leading to a societal backswing on progressive policies.

We deserved honor for a great scientist. Congratulations!

Very interesting. I am curious how does framework this explain that we see predictive coding effects in domains like Finance, which doesn’t really have space.

While it seems to take humans years of deliberate practice to become more skeptical, I wonder what it would take for LLMs to encode the idea that effects between things are often small and non-existent; and frankly even regardless of whether they’re published in a fancy journal.

As any researcher can probably tell you (due to the painstaking PhD process) this is like the exact opposite of reality!
And yet most humans likely also default to assuming there is an effect!
Pattern seeking brain, pattern seeking LLM? Curious where this bias comes from in both humans and LLMs

Coinciding with many less applicants from students abroad. To see what was once one of America’s greatest institutions in such disrepair is beyond disheartening.
Not sure what the solutions are, if any exist on how we can ever truly recover.

This was the first year where I had been able to see the class of undergraduates throughout their entire Caltech career. Seeing the result of their growth both academically and personally puts the value of academia into perspective.
At the end of the day this is what it’s about!

Personally I have a new idea on how to preprocess some data for a few regressions I’m running. High hopes!
I’m sure nothings going on globally that would take my attention from that
