Last month I was at WashU campus for the Bayesian-for-nuclear-physics workshop. Today I am in WashU again: This time it is for StanCon 2023. Here is some of the random takeaway I obtain from the conference: John Kruschke discussed Barg: the Bayesian analysis reporting guidelines. It is a decision-theory-orientated framework of workflow, including guidance for data analysts, reviewers and method developers. For example, instead of looking at the confidence interval …

I’ve been following the press and social media coverage of Apple’s pricey new Vision Pro Augmented Reality headset, which now totals hundreds of stories and thousands of comments and I’ve noticed one idea missing from all of them: what would Steve (Jobs) say? Steve would call the Vision Pro a “hobby,” just as he did with the original Apple TV. You know I’m correct about this. And the fact that …

Singapore is the only country in the world where it’s legal to sell “cultivated” (lab-grown) meat for human consumption, and Huber’s Bistro in Singapore is the only restaurant in the world that actually sells the stuff. But you can’t just waltz in and try it: only on Thursdays are there 12 portions up for grabs at lunchtime, and to score one, you need to snap it up when bookings open …

One thing you notice, working at a grocery store, is the number of people in your area who are eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also called SNAP, and previously called the Food Stamp Program, but referred to more colloquially as EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer). It’s a government-issued card that helps people in tight financial situations to pay for groceries. Presumably, if you saw someone using the card, you …

Before you read this, I suggest you read section 10 of post 22.10. In post 22.10 we saw that integration reverses the process of differentiation. Suppose f and f’ are functions of x only and that f’ = df/dx. (2) To evaluate the integral we recognise the function f that satisfies equation 2. Then Sometimes this is easy but sometimes it isn’t. For example, in post 22.16, we saw that …

This is my friend’s lovely cat who died recently.

This blog post was written back in June 2021. Back then we didn’t have a Mastodon account (although Adrian’s was a few years old by then) and the Fediverse was a much quieter place. We didn’t get round to publishing it at the time, and then with the Twitter-influx of November 2022 events seemed to have overtaken it. However, reading through this excellent thread from Siderea, Sibylla Bostoniensis, we thought …

Close your eyes and picture a river…go on, do it! What did you see? Did you picture a clear, deep mountain stream? A raging river in a steep gorge? A creek with grassy banks and forest? Whatever you pictured, it probably included water. Water is often what people think of first when they think of rivers, especially in the American West where drought rages[1] and water supply is the focus …

In my opinion, Swift UI is a fantastic jumping-off point for less experienced developers wanting to get into iOS development. It reminds me of my earliest days of programming; just turn the clock back 15 years and swap Swift with HTML. One of the great things is that a lot of the groundwork has been laid by Apple. It's relatively easy to use Swift's built-in components to put together an …
