Got to the end of the album and listening to it again immediately.

Don't be put off by the first 2 minutes. Hold out until 2.02 to see the first inklings of beauty.

This one's definitely worth a go if you don't like black metal but do like post rock, indie? or maybe some other genres. There's some singing. And lots of beauty.

Usually when I get into a genre, I listen to a bunch of bands and quickly 3-5 float to the top and I abandon the rest.

But it seems like every month I find a new black metal band that I may love forever.

We quickly settled on the idea that detection in any formal, scalable way was impossible.

Wait, stata costs twice as much if you want to run it using 2 cores? And even more for 4 cores? Lol.

A table of stata prices. Standard is $94. "MP 2 core" is $275.

You can quite easily find examples of chatgpt not giving great code advice by selecting a very new package on CRAN. Useful for teaching.

Why include unadjusted estimates in a study when reporting adjusted estimates?

Upon reading "The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology " or STROBE guidelines, one will find advice to (a) Give unadjusted estimates and, if applicable,

Sure, totally agree. And again other people can want what they want!

Hope that's good options to filter out videos. Horses for courses but that's not what I'm here for.

With TikTok being sold to right wing American companies & them being pretty transparent that they will use it to shut down talk they don't like, can everyone posting videos there start also posting them here? Ppl are making apps which will pull vids posted to Bsky but we need more creators!!

Sounds like right censoring but not sure you know when the censoring happens. You know the item was censored at some point after start time stamp?

Oh ok, pancake day here is definitely similarly co-opted by seculars. It's great. Poles have an equivalent fat Thursday where they eat donuts which I'm also very supportive of.

You're an ozzie? Interesting that you do HCBs, wasn't sure if they were UK only.

Do you observe pancake day? Don't think the US does.

Lab meeting discussion today is on how to come up with new scientific ideas (next project etc.). Looking forward to it.

Asked everyone to send in some science ideas. So we've all reminded ourselves what it feels like to come up with ideas. And we'll share our process a bit.

I had an idea yesterday about making a word search that, when solved, would be a data visualization.

So, I coded it up... and it worked!

This shows abundance of three bird species in Brooklyn Bridge Park over a year.

It feels like there are some fun possibilities here.

Open question as to whether everything chatgpt says is by definition a meme (sensu stricto). But I'll leave that for another day.

Stats For Bios @statsforbios.bsky.social · 17d

Is "there ya have it folks" something chatgpt loves to spit out? Or a meme that I've missed. I see it on a million linkedin posts and sometimes it doesn't even make much sense.

The idea behind it is "we were all waiting for this answer, and now we do". But thats not always the angle of the post.

Pretty close to anarchism summed up in however many characters one skeet is allowed to be. Judicious cuts by me.

Ps I'm from the UK. When I went to school, of mice and men was one of a number of set texts. So maybe 20% of kids had to read it? Not sure if it's still on the list.

And obviously it's not political in the same way.

What proportion of American school kids read grapes of wrath? Rereading and again interesting that abona fide American classic is so explicitly anarchist.

I think they have fixed this feature. That's a shame.

Stats For Bios @statsforbios.bsky.social · Aug 10

I don't want the linked in app so I use the website. After about 3 minutes scrolling it asks if I want the app. Total bullshit.

After another 3 it asks again and then kicks me off the website when I say no.

Best feature ever.

Something seems to have clicked and I can now usually best my phone (13k) at 9x9 Go.

Very exciting. Now just need to find time to calmly play some 13x13 games.
