You know that pasta sauce Galaxy + Gemini ad? It demonstrates something interesting about AI: it is an excellent illustration of the risk of "problem orphaning" with AI. A short thread 1/7 www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8W-...

i’d take them out one by one like that scene from oldboy

And if social media has ruined your attention span, here’s a blog post on the matter www.the100.ci/2025/03/20/r...

ADRIAN! NOOOO! YOU DON'T GET TO SAY THAT WORD! IT'S OKAY IF THEY SAY IT BUT YOU DON'T GET TO SAY IT!

Joe Biden says he's started treatment for his prostate cancer and the prognosis is good. Donald Trump says Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced with a legion of clones. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

I find em-dashes suspicious because there is nothing holding them up. They should drop down into _ or maybe flop to one side of the other into / or \. Punctuation should not levitate, it is simply witchcraft.

I know I should take this seriously but this ICE tweet genuinely made me laugh.

That’s not the rule and you know it.

if you're posting on the internet while there's politics going on in the world you make me sick

I have been logged out of my toothbrush.

Can't think of a single time the MGM lion advanced the plot of the movie in any way. Just needless jump scare

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

‘NO, I AM SPAR TACOS!’

"why doesn't Bluesky have its own Grok" well because the human users already bring up completely unrelated human rights atrocities in your mentions for no reason

I know he's younger than the previous pontiff, but even so, this is pretty impressive stuff given the limited time he'll have had in nets recently.

Don't really want a generative summary of my train tickets thanks, Adobe. Oh, I can't get rid of the tab that's covering part of the ticket, perfect

I mean what are you going to do when the shell garage in lothlorien is shut, not going all the way to mirkwood for those little shits

Meant to go back and take a proper screenshot of this but by the time I remembered it had gone, for some reason. Folks, remember to remove all "memorabilia" from view before the estate agents come round to take photos.

So this week in the world of farm/environment/land management/ mapping has been “interesting” And by “interesting” I mean “verging on the utterly bonkers” Why? Well this week started with Natural England launching a new map naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2025/05/12/a...

I wrote a thing about multivariate normal sampling in #rstats, and why you would be well-advised to prefer mvtnorm::rmvnorm() over MASS::mvrnorm() Now. Let us never speak of this again

Big savings down at Aldi

The merger will happen during a 3 hour window tomorrow afternoon.

i wish grok broke down a week later so all of my students could submit final papers they haven't bothered to proofread about the mass annihilation of boer farmers

“The damage this has done to our country is incalculable.” This sentence would feel right at home in some of the 1970s Monday Club/National Front material that I read for Imperial Island.

This is getting lots of attention - check the thread. I want to emphasize the basic problem: Just because you have randomized (or pseudo-randmized) a treatment, that doesn't mean you can reliably estimate interactions with that treatment. Which means post-strat prediction for population not possible

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>
