hey WOW: my commentary was just published by PNAS!! the only thing i didn't feel competent to comment on was the statistical modeling (although it's very cool!) but all the other words are mine!

Statistical Forecasting Models in IBP - Ever wonder how businesses predict future demand accurately? Statistical forecasting models in SAP IBP transform historical sales data into reliable forecasts by identifying patterns like seasonality and trends. IBP suggests the best model for your data, turning guesswork into science-backed insights. Ready to turn your data into a crystal ball? #SAPIBP, #Forecasting, #StatisticalModels, #DemandPlanning
🚨 Breaking News: Statistical Models Demand #JavaScript & #Cookies for Basic Functionality! 🙄 Apparently, even the dumbest algorithms have standards. Who knew data science needed a snack 🍪 and some code to function? 😂

Just getting my feet wet with #roofline analysis for #hpc and OMG , I can see the wisdom in the words: "it is all about memory and how one uses it".
But for those of us who are entering the field for the purpose of analyzing electronic health record #EHR data, it is also about Linpack : nearly all (useful) #StatisticalModels are about matrices.

Attached: 1 image Words of wisdom: 1. In High Performance Computing #HPC , it is not how fast you write the code, it is how fast the code you write runs. 2. It is all about memory: how much you use and how often you load it 3. If you load one value, you get six or eight 4. If there are any flows in your code, #parallelization will expose them

Episode 416 - Forecasting Data | Drifting Ruby

In this episode, we will look at a date range of data and build predictions of what future values will be. However, we won't be reaching for any 3rd party APIs, but instead use statistical models to learn from our data to predict the future dates. We'll also display out our data on a table and plot it to a graph.

Drifting Ruby

So ChatGPT is basically just natural language programming where you don’t know what data and algorithms you’re working with and can’t predict the exact result you’re going to get.

Sure sounds like progress to me!

.> The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations....> Indeed, such programs are stuck in a prehuman or nonhuman phase of cognitive evolution. Their deepest flaw is the absence of the most critical capacity of any intelligence: to say not only what is the case, what was the case and what will be the case — that’s description and prediction — but also what is not the case and what could and could not be the case. Those are the ingredients of explanation, the mark of true intelligence..> The crux of machine learning is description and prediction; it does not posit any causal mechanisms or physical laws. Of course, any human-style explanation is not necessarily correct; we are fallible. But this is part of what it means to think: To be right, it must be possible to be wrong. Intelligence consists not only of creative conjectures but also of creative criticism. Human-style thought is based on possible explanations and error correction, a process that gradually limits what possibilities can be rationally considered....> But ChatGPT and similar programs are, by design, unlimited in what they can “learn” (which is to say, memorize); they are incapable of distinguishing the possible from the impossible. Unlike humans, for example, who are endowed with a universal grammar that limits the languages we can learn to those with a certain kind of almost mathematical elegance, these programs learn humanly possible and humanly impossible languages with equal facility..> But ChatGPT and similar programs are, by design, unlimited in what they can “learn” (which is to say, memorize); they are incapable of distinguishing the possible from the impossible.

They trade merely in probabilities that change over time..> For this reason, the predictions of machine learning systems will always be superficial and dubious. - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/08/opinion/noam-chomsky-chatgpt-ai.html
