A common misconception is that the risk of overfitting increases with the number of parameters in the model. In reality, a single parameter suffices to fit most datasets: https://t.co/4eOGBIyZl9

Need to update the questions in my first year tutorial class:

Q: list a few important discoveries in astronomy in your lifetime

One Answ: the 1998 discovery that universe expansion is accelerating

Students: but that was before we were born.

Bloody hell.

More discoveries in the strong sector (pedantic aside - odderon not really a particle, but then I'm not about to offer an accessible explanation of Regge theory) https://t.co/UrBSnLMuNe

Reasons not to be sceptical about the multiverse idea as science (one reason - it might be true - seems fair enough!)... https://t.co/9mlZO03OJp
