In [[discrete-sample-jittering2]], I discussed the jittering approach that improves [[qrde]] for discrete distributions and continuous-discrete mixtures. In this post, I will show a brief example of how such an approach improves the accuracy of the [[lowland-multimodality-detection]].

Dune: Part Two hit theaters recently, which got me thinking about my own experience reading Dune in the past, what I enjoyed about it, and my own personal headcannon that made this novel more enjoyable for me. And hey, it’s April Cools , so why not put pen to paper here? Credit to this reddit thread for the initial discussion, but I hope I’ve expanded on the concept below. Questions I’ve read Dune a few times over the past ten years,....

It’s April Cools! Last year I wrote about friendship bracelets and the year before about cocktails. This year it’s parenting. Parenting articles are a dime a dozen and always bury the lede behind a long story. I’ll skip that. How to think about your child and your role as a parent These are framing devices. Concrete things to do to work toward these are in the next section. I will refer to the numbers for each action to show what principle ..

Merle (2012-03-21 – 2024-03-21) The photo of Merle links to a short video. Turn up your volume to hear Merle purr. Welcome to March 2024’s Disappearing Moment, an inventory of my experiences. I hope you enjoy it. Podcasts Alphabet Boys (I Liked It): “Entrapment” is such a dirty word. We prefer to call it “standard operating procedure”. Love, Janessa (I Liked It): We are all hostages of our media bubbles. We all miss what is obvious....

The packaging workflow of Python has historically been a bit messy, starting with pip being just good enough, and virtualenvs being a great idea but a bit unwieldy. Installation was difficult, and tools like anaconda filled the gaps. Lately, there’s been renaissance of package tooling in Python thanks to other languages innovating in the area, inspiring and pollinating the ecosystem, improving the comfort of development. I want to pre..

This month, several things within the wider field of privacy and security happened that we felt we should report on. Signal introducing usernames Signal allows for contacting others using usernames now (note their blog post was written last month, however the change was not rolled out on the stable version before this month, I believe). This means that you can now chat with other beings on Signal without revealing your phone number to t....

Happy Easter, everyone. This morning, I completed the long-overdue move of all my ripped CDs from my old 2012 MacBook Pro to the new one and, then, to my iPhone. I’m using Doppler on both devices. I like Doppler, a simple yet elegant MP3 player app with few well-thought-out features. I am increasingly convinced that returning to purchased music is the way . I’ve been listening to streaming services for so long that I almost forgot the ac..

Melody is basically describing me: Many introverts value depth and thoughtfulness in their work over noise and showmanship. They’re content to contribute without constant recognition or the spotlight. And the consequences part also checks out: While this tendency is admirable, it comes with pitfalls, especially in the modern, remote-first work world where being “out of sight” often equates to being “out of mind.” Perhaps you’ve b..

Hello there! In case you felt inspired by my previous article on The Undercover Generalist, you’ll like to hear I was invited to The Changelog podcast to talk a bit more about it. Thanks to the random person who got my article on The Changelog’s radar in the first place! Below is an embedded player, for those of you who want to listen to it. The Changelog will soon publish the transcript on their website, which you might prefer if podcasts ..

Encoding data in decimal requires many more characters than the same data encoded in base64—06513249 vs YWJj—but using decimal is better when stored in a QR code. The magic of QR modes means all those extra digits are stored efficiently, almost as though there was no encoding at all. Decimal encoding makes for QR codes that store more data , or are easier to scan . In this post, we’ll see: how using a decimal encoding (slightly) red....
