Sharing a post I wrote back in February. Randomly opened it and read it again. Quite fun still. Take a read if you have 10 mins to kill.

@pmddomingos Simple yes. Trivial no. A 99% accurate test may give unreliable prediction. That’s not trivial to me.

@rlmcelreath Agree. Data informs. Decisions are made based on the information and one’s tolerance of uncertainty.

The folks at @ISBA_events tell me my book 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

Today a US Circuit Court of Appeals acquits Franklin Tao.

The case virtually bankrupted Tao’s family and led to his firing.

@f2harrell @FJavierRubio1 @PavlosMsaouel Good point Frank. I think the objectivity here is on narrow and relative sense. It is more like lack of preference. But agreed. For human decision making everything is subjective including choosing a philosophy to believe in.

@DanMarkMD Variability is about the uncertainty on rx effect, which is different from random noise. The true treatment effect might be assumed to fixed but one may use probability models to describe the uncertainty of it. Bayesian stat makes your concern go away IMHO.

@ylecun @elonmusk Opinion and society are too complicated and please focus on things you are great at, science. The world evolves on its own way. Elon is Elon for a reason and he behaves based on his own logic. Treat him as an end when expressing your opinion, not a means.

[YJ @koaeraser]

Two cold jokes about this. One, was the nature paper peer reviewed? Two, aren’t publications a major business now for the publishers? 😎

[Yann LeCun @ylecun]

Science (the magazine) comments about Science (the body of knowledge) and science (the activity), triggered by my recent exchange with @elonmusk.

Peter Coveney from UCL is quoted: "The central element is if you can’t have an objective discussion then you’re not doing science, because you’re just articulating your opinions. The irony is that this is exactly what was happening on X."

Paper: "What is science? Tech heavyweights brawl over definition.
AI pioneer Yann LeCun and Elon Musk went head-to-head in a debate about modern research that drew thousands of comments."
