This post clarifies the difference between the Hodges–Lehmann ratio estimator and Bhattacharyya’s scale ratio, correcting a misattribution found in several papers. In Pragmastat, Ratio is the recommended robust multiplicative difference estimator. Confidence intervals are available via RatioBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat Previously, I discussed an idea of a ratio estimator based on the [[hodges..

There are many ways to use your own books in AI workflows. In this post I’m going through the most basic workflow that does not involve coding your own app, creating vector stores, or generating API keys. You can do this by just using ChatGPT (with a Plus subscription). Many (most?) writers are not programmers, so there is no coding required here.

I’ve been accepted into the Bristlemouth Pioneer Program . I’ve been granted a SOFAR Spotter with a Development Kit . I want to build a system capable of autonomously recording whale song (and other ocean data). Humpback Whale songs is incredibly interesting - and scientists have JUST been able to actually talk to whales. But really getting all “science fictiony” - can we build an ocean phone system to talk to whales?

Introduction Earlier I gave you an overview of how you can you GPT APIs to build a stock sentiment analysis system. In this post, I am going to introduce you to Google Bard, Google’s answer to OpenAI’s chatGPT. Bard has been around for a few months but they recently offered APIs to access their LLM. Initially, they introduced PaLM APIs but very recently they have offered Gemini Pro and Gemini Pro Vision APIs which means that like GPT4 Visio....

I've enjoyed watching A Murder at the End of the World . The show may resonate with folks following the tech world. Won't say much more than that… What I can maybe say is, the shows features Reddit , Brave browser , terminal usage (ifconfig, nmap, hydra, responder), and a reference to the good 'ol Vi vs Emacs rivalry , which I hope folks these days don't take further than friendly teasing between dear cousins. In any case, being an ..

One simple experiment I have on the go has given me pause to reflect on the data — largely thanks to the time gap between finding the next point. But I’ve appreciated having an opportunity to stop and think about individual data points carefully. Not because the underlying data is that novel. Rather I’ve specifically considered how each of those data points affect my regression and the numeric estimates of the true relationship for the data..

Marginalia Search very recently gained the ability to filter results by Autonomous System, not only searching by ASN but by the organization information for that AS. At a glance this seems like a somewhat frivolous feature, but it has interesting effects. Autonomous Systems are part of the Internet’s routing infrastructure. If your mental model of an IP number is that they are the phone number of the computer, this is something akin to a ..

I was always excited about the possibilities recent developments in LLM-powered workflows provide. At the same time, I was also wary about the larger implications of these things, from the whole theft problem to wondering “I wonder when this thing is going to become self-aware”.
