Great to see the forecast package from R in native Julia.
One less use case for RCall.jl in my workflow.

So me and my buddy chatGPT are now into using Lua filters in the Quarto YAML to hook into the pandoc AST to modify the inline LaTeX at compile time to convert LaTeX syntax to things that render correctly to html.

It works, that is all I can tell you.

"Spotify for Linux is a labor of love from our engineers that wanted to listen to Spotify on their Linux development machines. They work on it in their spare time and it is currently not a platform that we actively support."

Honest, but weird when you have the money and passionate people.

Tell me more! Do NeurIPS and ICML accept Typst source files now?

We also wish a pleasant weekend to the couriers who transform our parcels in their own way, #stats!

Very sorry to hear that you are struggling, Cameron.

Is just my imagination, or is the battery better again after last update? Feels so?

Mattias Villani @matvil.bsky.social · 28d

And the other way around.

Yes, and there should be more cross-fertilization between Active learning in machine learning and experimental design in Statistics.

His fellow Nobel prize winner Tom Sargent uses Python and Julia.

I don't follow macro so closely nowadays, but my impression is that #julialang is getting popular, as it is the natural progression from Matlab (open source, fast and with linalg syntax similar to Matlab).

Chris used to have this code only in Matlab, but added R versions some 15-20 years ago. He switched to R when the Mathworks started to get gready with also for academics (who popularized Matlab about economists).

An excellent way to feel like a complete loser is to try to do something semi-advanced with LaTeX.

It is also a great way to waste an afternoon.

My Bayesian Data Analysis course at Aalto is starting in 20mins. There are now 375 registered students, but as the course is not compulsory for most, I expect about 230 students to finish it. All the course material is available online at avehtari.github.io/BDA_course_A...

Yes, fair enough. I am just a little bitter that Twitter when away from us. I learned a lot of useful things from people when I was active on Twitter (and also on Google+ back in the days). Hopefully, this place can get close to that.

I would also mute 'thrilled', 'announce' and 'next adventure'.

Yes, I have never been one of those that like the matt black and colored Enter etc. I have used Lenovo, despite its look. 😊
Have an x1 now in grey metallic, which is quite the looker.

Mattias Villani @matvil.bsky.social · Aug 14

I have an x1 since 6 years back as my main laptop. Never used the pen, it is awful to being with (tiny). Pop!_OS worked better than plain Ubuntu when I got it. It has worked very well for me.
