student used some AI-assisted code to compute ROC stats with weights and the AI hallucinated pROC::roc(…, weights = weights). (the function doesn’t have a weights argument.) and because the function has a … argument, the fake weights argument was ignored without any warning
To add, they "walk" with many tiny tube feet. So the orientation is irrelevant and the five "legs" aren't articulated in any leggy sort of way. Whereas the swimming is quite different
Yes that was my understanding for walking. But whether it's the same for swimming I don't really know.
Question is, is the same leg always the "tail"? Or it just depends which way they're facing at the time?
Reading the jewel box at the moment. Really enjoying it.
New paper, great work by Hannah Worboys. Feasibility study of the P-STEP app. "At 12 weeks, the mean (sd) System Usability Score was 61.68 (22.9)". And lots of useful prelim data for larger studies. #EpiSky #EnvironmentalEpi #copd #asthma

"even in the quieter professions, there is a toil and a labour of the mind, if not of the body, which seldom leaves a man’s looks to the natural effect of time."

Alright Jane Austen chill out, I'm just a bit tired this week.
Looks weird to me. But again, I know nothing.
Think I (having played almost zero 19x19 games) would try to build from the south west. So Maybe (11, 9) if that's how notation goes.
Though actually south west is less settled than I realise when I first looked. I guess black's alive there.
Think white has to go there at some point. Can't leave black the whole Eastern side.
Looks relatively calm compared to some other games at this level I've seen. Maybe. Not that I know anything.
*probably post

I should probably proof read. But nah.
I should probably about stats more...

Don't worry about assumptions.
New is better than right.
The ultimate application is unimportant. Dunking on other statisticians is vital.
Now seems that riding the wave is now important. People will ignore an album they dislike but people will forget an artist if they go too long without content.

Or I'm seeing patterns where the are none. Also totally possible.
Is there a tendency these days for artists to rush out an album soon after some sort of break through?

I feel I've seen it a few times. I know back in CD days, releasing a bad or different album after your breakthrough was suicide.
Going to ASTMH (first time!) in Nov. Any old or new friends going?
I watched a load recently. Absolutely love it. Hal trying to change a lightbulb or something and ending up fixing the car is a favourite
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.
