Just a small nit pick here--your example does not match the definition of deliberate practice. In general, deliberate practice is about how you practice (e.g. focused on most useful things; w/ quick expert feedback), rather than how of

How is Tse Tsan-tai a western, anti-chinese propagandist? He was a collaborator w/ Sun Yat-sen. I realize the two drew influence from western ideals (and christianity), but wonder what makes them anti-chinese. That the Chinese governme

I strongly disagree. And in general, it seems like poor quality code in science is often not because of the language, but because scientists rarely lose their jobs when code breaks. There are many books that cover how to develop in R in det

What? Can you put in probabilistic terms what "this is not the case" is? There are an infinite number of models where p(HHTHT | model) != 1, or where p(HHTHT | model) = 0. We need to know which one you're referring to, in ord

Wait, in frequentist statistics getting, say, a p-value of 1 is not a bad thing--unless you erroneously assume that value is evidence for your null hypothesis . Consider that if your data generating process really is a fair coin, then the

One important caveat is that the non-random strategy would need to be invertible. For e.g. a ml model doing binary classification this is easy (switch the classification), for most other things it's not clear what invert means.
