You don't know enough math, and yes, you should feel bad about that.

Strong words from Schweizer (2007): "The era of iid is over.... It remains for the statistical community at large to recognize this fact. And when every statistics text contains a section or chapter on copulas, the subject will have come of age." Can't say I disagree.

Or put another way, absence of evidence is evidence of absence when evidence should be there.

Without a doubt the most boring 9.5 hour drive on the continent. Kansas should be avoided at all costs.

Hard to choose. Radon-Nikodym Theorem is definitely up there. Sklar's Thm has been a favourite recently. Double expectation and total variance formulas can't be beat for pure usefulness. Cauchy's integral formula is always just so pretty.

Explainable AI has long frustrated me by lacking a clear theory of what explanations should do. Improve use of a model for what? How? Given a task what's max effect explanation can have? It's complicated bc most methods are functions of features & prediction but not true state 1/

'What has he done to deserve this?' — American cartoon (1917) showing Uncle Sam unhappily shackled to the metric system.

Who writes these things? Or does the government just use AI now? 🙄🙄🙄

Okay, this is cute. Two pups of one of world's most endangered mammals, the Vancouver Island marmot, tussle. The species, which once numbered fewer than 30 is recovering, but it is still magical to see wild-born pups thriving! Video Adam Taylor
