Thinking about how this might go Listener: My chains aren't converging Andrew: Your model is bad Aki: Your parameterization is bad Richard: The Buddha teaches us that numerical integration is suffering

🚨 @rmcelreath.bsky.social @statmodeling.bsky.social & @avehtari.bsky.social are coming on the show mid-June to discuss their new book, Bayesian Workflow! ONE listener gets to bring a real Bayesian problem onto the recording and have the three of them work through it live. Here's how to enter 🧵

This may be Python ignorance on my part, but I'm wondering if there is something under the hood that makes Positron not play well with Jupyter notebooks? @coatless.bsky.social have you seen anything like this? github.com/posit-dev/po...

This administrative attack on the nonprofit sector fits with a pattern of authoritarian restrictions on civil society that's been going on for the past decade+ @suparnac.bsky.social and I (and others) have done a bunch of research on this from an intl/comparative perspective #nonprofitsky #polisky 🧵

The House is set to vote Tuesday on a bill that would let the administration destroy nonprofits it claims support terrorism.

The International Society for Bayesian Analysis tells me Statistical Rethinking has won the 2024 DeGroot Prize for its contributions to "statistical inference, decision theory and statistical applications". This is huge honor especially given the previous winners who have influenced me so much.

~3 minute-long video looking at #positron's #rstats debugging capabilities. In short: browser() and traceback() are supported with a nice explorer. Positron engages the debug mode with red outline. Care is needed when engaging debugger. No script breakpoints yet (?) youtu.be/p_4ZS-nnQ2Q
