@neauoire @[email protected] Please let us know what happens next. Should be interesting to read about the tradeoffs you considered and the decisions you made.

@mikiobraun If it's tied to real efforts of real people I already follow, that's what I mean by "polite".
E.g., if it's *your* bot asking about a service that you're associated with, which superimposes "an algorithm" on my Mastodon feed in an opt-in way that I can choose to enjoy or not, that's great!

@abebab I'm trying to wrap my head around that quote---Who/what said that, please? [I consider racial bias difficult to eliminate in models, so the quote is interesting.]

@techm I dabble in web development but wonder: What options do we have as web developers if we want to avoid the 101st time?

E.g., Will it help if we put a code-state ID (e.g. checksum) in the JS or Wasm file name and then reference it from the HTML? Will it help if we use headers that tell the browser not to cache HTML as long?
Will it help if we initialize a page and immediately look up a schema version number from the db, reloading the page if (e.g.) we were suspended during a db migration?

@avehtari After Laplace had pretty much gotten all the ingredients of Bayesian modeling laid out, Fisher didn't take it seriously and set stats back a few decades by helping others dismiss inverse probability.

So I propose as an example of a decremental paper, "The Nature of Probability," 1958, for its remark calling Laplace "fallacious rubbish". (according to John Aldrich 2008, "R. A. Fisher on Bayes and Bayes’ Theorem")

@neil @koherecoWatchdog @stroppypanda If the server you control is UNIX-ish, you can have a cron job that periodically does `for d in /home/neil/clones/*; do cd $d && git fetch; done > /dev/null`.

@neauoire I thought I had recovered when I got rid of my collection of books by Lin and Larry Pardey. Alas ...

@neauoire I don't even have a boat, but I find this fascinating and cannot wait to find out how the new connectors work.
... Am I OK? Why is this so interesting!?

The opposite of “return to office” advocates isn’t “work from home” advocates. It’s a rich tapestry of “open offices are distracting” people and “I’ve never gone this long without being sick” people and “commutes are a waste of time I don’t get paid for” people and “I’m an introvert and playing house with coworkers sucks the life out of me” people and “I have a family and appreciate the flexibility” people and “I primarily communicated with coworkers through Slack anyway” people and “no one wa…
