love getting gassed up by grammarly in the weekly insights email

I don't use Pomodoro, GTD, or those normal productivity methods when I'm stuck at work. Instead, I am currently doing what I call the Alice In Wonderland method, where I just keep eating things hoping one of them will make me smarter.

Microplastics are definitely in my brain

Don’t miss this talk by @la_cosgrove from @Microsoft's Experimentation Platform team. She shares a deep dive into statistical methods, A/B testing and machine learning applications in experimentation platforms. Link to video in thread. #DataScience

Bought fresh masa in Austin and took it on the plane. TSA agent: “…Can I ask why?”

@IDoTheThinking Haha. I grew up in Milpitas and spent one sketchy afternoon as a teen jogging on the side of montague to get to the small

@StableMarkets @dan_p_simpson I feel like the "likely to transport" is sort of taking a concession on acknowledging model-dependence, though the later statement of calling a model parameter an estimand is a little weird.

Another day another sense of impending doom

I love when my close personal friends succeed (nyc comedian-podcasters whom I’ve never met)

Use copilot to draft code based on comments, use gpt3 to explain to me what the code does

@PhDemetri Don’t you mean x*factor(z)

[Laura @la_cosgrove]

What feature should I try out to accelerate the demise?

[Laura @la_cosgrove]

This one also applies. https://t.co/GCcaS6730w

Simulating bias and variance of estimators under conditions… ya that is what gets me up in the morning

[Laura @la_cosgrove]

Actually I should've used this one to give context to my blog post lol https://t.co/GCcaS6730w

[Laura @la_cosgrove]

Broke: everything is linear regression
Woke: everything is efficiency augmentation
Bespoke: can’t believe I am even typing this out of date meme

[Laura @la_cosgrove]

Speaking of, I wrote a blog post about CUPED for variance reduction! Handwaving hopefully minimal. https://t.co/GCcaS6730w

[Laura @la_cosgrove]

It’s funny how you can think you understand something for years but when you implement it in code or write about it in detail you realize your little brain just handwaved over a whole part

[Laura @la_cosgrove]

@colin_fraser I think this new venture by @seanjtaylor is tackling this area. https://t.co/d0GHisyEBs
