linear approximations ARE real and CAN hurt you
Thank you.
Thank you.
The truth can be harsh. That doesn’t mean that anything harsh is the truth.

Ingredients: 24 tbsp (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 396 grams granulated white sugar 226 grams brown sugar 3 large eggs, beaten 2 tsp vanilla extract 542 grams all purpose flour 3 grams baking soda (0.5 tsp) 6 grams kosher salt (~1 tsp Morton) 6 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted 1 package (60 count) Haviland thin mints (Zachary dark chocolate thin mints might be easier to find at the moment) Dough: 1. Cream butter and sugars. 2. Combine eggs and vanilla. 3. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. 4. Add (2) and (3) to (1) in stages, mixing in between. 5. Add melted chocolate and mix until the color is uniform. 6. Chill batter for at least 2 hours. 7. Shape into 1 inch balls (#60 dishes) and roll in granulated white sugar. 8. Bake for 8-12 minutes at 350 oF, rotating trays half way.s 9. Cool on rack for 5 minutes. 10. While still warm, gently place thin mint between two cookies to form a hamburger (do not squeeze).
My mother passed away on Monday. She was, amongst many other things, a prolific baker. These are very good; give them a try.

Los Tacos No 1 offers some of the best tacos in the city, a buoy when you have to be in the proximity of Times Square. The salsa verde, however, is absolutely mild.
in england they spell it lmaou
Earlier I implied that I escorted yo' momma through the Strait of Hormuz. I apologize for the misinformation. Yo' momma's too fat for such a narrow passageway and whatnot.
I am currently looking for work, so do not hesitate to reach out if this experience sounds interesting! You can find the rest of my portfolio at gennadygorin.github.io. 13/13
The Geordi LaForge meme demonstrating hesitation for a conventional “causal” direct graphical model, showing only observed variables and unobserved confounders, and enthusiasm for a directed graphical model that represents a full joint probabilistic model including all observed variables and all latent/unobserved variables.

“Large Deviations with Deuschel” sounds like weekly opinion column or talk show segment…

Perpetual reminder: one does not model a likelihood function, one derives a likelihood function from an observational model and a particular observation.

Why sample from a categorical pseudo-random number generator when you can be ridiculous? This is how I now draw contest winners over on patreon dot com, www.patreon.com/c/betanalpha.

‘Waffle’ the noun and ‘waffle’ the verb are not etymologically related.
The noun is related to the Old English ‘wefan,’ which means “to weave.”
The verb is related to the English ‘woff,’ which means “to yelp.”
FWIW: we never waffle on eating waffles.
Statistics is more than just choosing between black box models.

I'm too depressed to dunk on the constant stream of bad statistics takes on the site. If, however, you're looking to lurk through or engage in productive discussions on (narratively generative) probabilistic modeling then drop by the Discord server I set up, www.patreon.com/posts/genera....

Determining the mediant of two rational numbers graphically. The slopes of the blue and red segments from the origin to two points in the first quadrant are two rational numbers, using these as two edges of a parallelogrom, the slope of the diagaonal, drawn as a green segment, is their mediant.
The 'mediant' of two fractions a/b and c/d is (a+c)/(b+d).
Beginners sometimes add fractions this way by mistake.
But it's important in number theory...
... and I just learned it has a simple geometrical meaning, too!
don't even care
Today, in honour of WEB DuBois's birthday in 1868, the @publicdomainrev.bsky.social features the hand-drawn infographics DuBois made with his students to depict the conditions of African-American life in 1900.
