Focusing on the little things.

The null hypothesis is almost always wrong. We all know the alternative is true. Why is it "good science" to assume that it isn't?

@karagoucher I have loved your commentary for the Olympics! Thanks for the high energy, smart insight, and good vibes. #Paris2024 #Olympics

@TheRealMerb @TheRealMerb Still no comeback for this one?

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

@TheRealMerb Now that I've slept on it, I think I made a mistake. My first draft of the tweet was "That's a good point. But I don't think 'The Hitler Classic' has a good ring to it." I played it safe.

I guess I know that, if I were in the peloton, I wouldn't be brave enough to go for it.

@therealcliffyb @Travon Isn't Travon's argument that celebrities aren't obligated to want to grow their fanbase exponentially?

@HeyJordanR Who would you prefer to win the lottery? Indiana, Phoenix, LA, or Seattle?

As a Storm fan, the pairing with Loyd would be so much fun.

@kpeltonWBB And these assists are giving her teammates the ball in-stride, as they dash towards the rim. The court vision has been awesome to watch.

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

@alexaphilippou Those three passes earlier in the quarter were incredible too!

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

@maynardandking Thanks for sharing this screenshot. Wouldn't this also mean that anyone North of the current Westlake station would lose direct access to those neighborhoods? Basically, only people on the new Ballard line would have direct access?

@gabecubed Also not thinking about it at all, I feel like it has to do with the distributive property of multiplication.

Biology is the best use for machine learning.

Interested in how to label cells in single-cell RNA sequencing data? I’m presenting my poster tomorrow at @LogConference on how we used Graph Convolutional Networks to improve annotation accuracy. Virtual session from 10-12PST!

Can anyone think of a worse reason?

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

My plane is boarding and families with kids go first. Jealous that they get to escape the xmas music in the terminal, I ask Maya, “what if we have a child, just so that we can get priority boarding.” And she said, “I think that is literally the worst reason to have a child”.

If anyone knows a German couple that has spent the last year traveling from Panama to the USA, please let me know.

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

Just finished a seven day hike, where I got into a funny debate with Germans about the height of Denali and Everest. Now, with the aid of wifi, it seems I was correct. But since I’ll never get to tell Phillip and Nadine “I told you so”, I want to share my satisfaction here.

@MayaLewinsohn Amazing color palette.

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

@gabecubed If a game 4 is played, the series is 2-1. If A wins, the series ends and the length is 4. If B wins, the series length is 5. The chance that A wins is 50%, so the series lengths are equally likely.

Simulation confirms that it’s 25% for length 3 and 37.5% for lengths 4 and 5.

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

@gabecubed Ya. I interpreted “insane” as “surprising”. I agree that metra is better.

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

There should be more wine bars. Every neighborhood has multiple breweries that serve the same beer. I’d love an outdoor seating restaurant that featured wine.

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

Omg. I felt like this tweet jinxed it when she launched that terrible three. But then the sweet jumper dropped through!

[Michael Frasco @MichaelFrasco]

@kpeltonWBB I miss Clark so much. She’s matched up with Bird on both ends of the floor. That’ll be a lot of fun.
