It's common to refer to speed ups in powers of ten as orders of magnitude. Maybe that's it?

I think that this is flawed in the sense that most people (including the article's author) might misinterpret it. The paper assumes that we know when a streak ends. So given that we have had a streak of tails and that it's broken

This exactly why string theory comes under fire. "Not even wrong" because that would imply falsifiability.

Probabilistic Graphical Models is a pretty good blend. Not sure how theoretical you want.

I took a step back and read Think Bayes by Downey and watched some of his youtube videos. Then Introduction to Bayesian Statistics by Bolstad is great once you're reading to deal with probabilities. Now I'm reading * Building prob

This is a fragment. There's no way either of these books are less than a couple hundred pages.

The ideas contained in this book and Causality have been a huge influence in my decision of what to focus on learning as a data scientist. Very much recommend it even if you feel like the book might be too dense for you. It definitely was f

*Irrational. A proof that it is rational is the reason why I clicked so I was let down in the end. :)

Easy there. I've seen people with BS and MS who do exactly what you describe. I don't have a degree at all and I don't do that. Cmon.

Super helpful! Thanks!

In this case I would agree with you. I don't understand the reasoning for the last sentence at all.

My Mathematical Modeling teacher is having us use SageMathCloud! It's a great tool. I didn't know it could be so easy to do things I thought I needed something akin to Mathematica for. Thanks for your effort!

What's the trade off here?

I don't understand the argument against this. I have had even small sites behave differently when moving between Postgres and SQLite. I <3 SQLite but it's not a golden hammer.

Oh it looks like I just missed 2015's. Hopefully next year. Microconf sounds interesting.

Thank you for sharing this! It stretched my mind a bit. :)

The math is well defined and rigorous not every analysis that uses it. I think you're conflating those two things.

Two points: 1. Bayesian statistics allows use of "uninformative" priors. 2. Discarding your subjective beliefs is less than ideal as well as overweighting them. You have beliefs due to your experience. Weight them lightly but stil

Not the title. Was expecting an article and to be amazed. Got neither.

Did the article or researchers say it was just because someone was in a different room? The title is "Walking through a doorway makes you forget" not "You forget because you're in a new room."

What's the catch here? :)

Is a "new Agile" really what will solve this problem? I think really this just isn't a priority for many employers. Maybe we just need something new so us employees can see who's paying attention and flock there?

You can to a degree. I've done it a bunch for my math classes. :) EDIT: Also wolfram alpha

Right now, a huge opportunity for Python seems to be data science. I didn't notice it in the list of places where Python shows up. Also, in that space, it more than just shows up, it brings unique capability to the space with its libra

I have a different perspective. I recently bought a Garmin Fenix 3 GPS/semi-smart watch. Before I had this I didn't get the entire category at all. Now I still don't get the Apple watch but I DO understand more of what's

Yeah it's basically just a web based SQL front end. It also integrates with Google accounts very well which was a big plus for us.

We use redash. This allows forking of queries, charting, and some light dashboarding. Also it supports full text searching of queries and descriptions. It's also stand alone and easy to launch on ec2. https://github.com&#x2F

Sounds like you pay $5. If you don't buy it the authors will be worse off since they won't have any money.
