at @kit.edu you have to hand in an official form, wait for an administrative notice and pay a fee just to get a document on your course of studies? pretty much sums up german bureaucracy... at @univie.ac.at I just log into my old student account and download that very same form 🫠

I'll continue the rant bc it's just too dumb: so my employer provides me with a windows machine, which I barely touch, so it's still factory new. I boot it to use adobe, takes 5 minutes, everything's slow, I check the task manager -> 50% RAM due to a bunch of dell recovery and support software... 🫠

is anybody aware of any results for importance sampling, where we don't have access to the true unnormalized target density, but only to an unbiased estimator of its log density? I'm thinking e.g. about a setup where we may wanna estimate posterior densities on mini batches

sometimes when I have an idea I want to work on I very early start writing down stuff, trying to shape what I believe could become a paper, sketching the idea and motivation, and so on. and too often once I start doing experiments I realize it doesn’t work and it breaks my heart every time 🥲💔

how do you go about a project you‘ve been working on for a while and then find a preprint doing sth very similar? I‘m still adding value with my work, so not everything‘s lost, but at the same time it’s hard to connect my work to theirs e.g. because the supplement w proofs is missing
