Is #AI snake oil? Some of it is, as asserted by @random_walker and @sayashk in a new book published today @PrincetonUPress.
It's the subject of a new Ground Truths podcast, with transcript and links to key papers.

Math is not about numbers, equations, or algorithms. Math is about understanding how things work.

I can't stop thinking about this question:

Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?

In 2021, Georgia Tech strength coach Lewis Caralla delivered this epic speech to the football team.

If it doesn't get you motivated, you may need to check your pulse...

He opens with a few harsh truths:

• Winning isn't loyal to you
• Winning doesn't care about you
• Winning doesn't care how sore you are
• Winning doesn't care how hard you work
• Winning doesn't care how much sleep you get

But it's his question that stuck with me:

Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?

The willingness to sprint with no clear view of the finish line is rare.

It requires two things:

1. A deep belief in one's self
2. A deep belief in the mission

If you have 1 but not 2, you won't be able to do it.

If you have 2 but not 1, you won't be able to do it.

You need both.

In my observation, the greatest things in life are accomplished when you're willing to sprint when the distance is unknown:

The sprint to care for your loved ones in their time of need.

The sprint to build something meaningful.

The sprint to serve others and create positive ripples in the world.

Goal: Find those rare things in life that you're willing to sprint for when the distance is unknown.

That, to me, is the definition of winning.

"And why chase winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase it is losing."

#AI can infer patient demographics, e.g. race variables, from medical images. We discuss implications of this for responsible algorithms and for studying healthcare disparities in a new @ScienceMagazine article (w/ @judywawira @oziadias Daniel Ho)

Everyone needs to know about `easystats` in R

It is so much fun to use and then share with students

Teaching on regression and just used the check_model() function and look at this beautiful figure

I made this fun side project and discovered many interesting self organizing patterns! The code is less than a page (excluding GUI). #artificial #life #simulation

One of the (many) good sides of teaching: you get plenty of time to delve into topics and develop your own material (and code).

I will share part of my materials as a #DataScience textbook online:

Debunking a myth.
You know the blood pressure "Korotkoff sounds," first described in 1905 for measuring blood pressure. They were thought to be from the artery, but they're not--they come shear vibrations of surrounding tissue
