@SolomonKurz @twarrestrial @ChelseaParlett Maybe another alternative for "the model" is just P(D); θ is kind of just a figment of the model's imagination, an implementation detail: P(D) = \int P(D|θ) p(θ) dθ. E.g. if you have two different parameterizations θ and θ', but always P(D) = P'(D), I guess same model?

@mitsuhiko Fwiw, one thing you can do here is use `value: object` instead of `value: Any` in Aggregator; mypy will then complain about subsequently trying to use `value: float` and `value: str` in the subclasses (breaks liskov substitution).

@sharoz @AliGunerMD @lakens Fwiw, I wish they were called "frequency intervals" (and, modest proposal, I idly wish frequentists would just not use the word "probability" and instead say "frequency"—fairly or not, the ship has sailed and people are going to use "probability" in a subjective sense)

[🎃 Pumpkin Spice Latent Variable 🎃 @cqfdee]

@sharoz @AliGunerMD @lakens E.g. imagine having a goofy/dumb CI procedure that some percentage of the time outputs an obviously, glaringly incorrect interval—you know for sure it *can't* contain the param. If you get such a dud interval, would you still say you're "95% confident" it includes the param?

The new @polyphia album is so sick. So happy it's finally out 😭

@dj_d_sol Whoa!

@TkDodo Disagree in spirit. I wish more languages made it easy to write in-file tests (e.g. Rust, or Pyret). Tying the ability to check that something is working to its public visibility has never made sense to me. In-file tests can also really help reading the code!

If you're interested in learning Russian, this is an amazing course: https://t.co/2HhnppPrcd

@armaniferrante Have you tried post-merge code review before? Devs can just go ahead and merge their PR and then review happens async. It's the default at @.WaveSenegal (you can obvs request pre-merge review if you want, it's just not the default)—has tradeoffs but it's definitely fast 😛

@dancherp Always makes me think of the scene in Die Hard 3 where one of the bad guys, a sneaky East German, gives himself away to Bruce Willis by saying "feels like it's gonna rain like dogs and cats later" 😆 https://t.co/csMfzmlwQd

@steveluscher Really enjoy threads like this (have been bit by this specific issue in the past too)—keep them coming! 🙏

@crispheaney @simplyianm Also applicative functors ❤️

@thal0x @buffalu__ No-context drive-by, but https://t.co/RbkGff72Rs might be a fun read

I tried implementing the same idea a long time ago before hooks were a thing and couldn't quite get it to work, but hooks make it super easy (I think, maybe this thing is totally broken)

Thought this was pretty fun, a typesafe/compositional/signal-y way to build forms in react/typescript: https://t.co/nePaHspwAV I'm calling it "orthoformal", lol; a coworker called it "the Elm we have at home" 😆

[🎃 Pumpkin Spice Latent Variable 🎃 @cqfdee]

Wrote some of the slickest/most elegant code I've ever written this past weekend, and it's for making Slack modals 😆 Getting nerd-sniped is fun.

Today's other coding track (love Owane 😎): https://t.co/b8giPk3efN

[🎃 Pumpkin Spice Latent Variable 🎃 @cqfdee]

Ok, took me a long time to warm up to it, but the new polyphia track is actually sick. Something clicked and I've been coding to it on repeat all day
