Statistical efficiency is a common measure of the quality of an estimator. Typically, it’s expressed via the mean square error ($\operatorname{MSE}$). For the given estimator $T$ and the true parameter value $\theta$, the $\operatorname{MSE}$ can be expressed as follows: $$ \operatorname{MSE}(T) = \operatorname{E}[(T-\theta)^2] $$ In numerical simulations, the $\operatorname{MSE}$ can’t be used as a robust metric because its breakdown poin....

Update: There's a DWIM follow-up for searching . I was a rather puzzled the first time I spotted DWIM in an Emacs interactive command name. Don't think I remember what the command itself was, but what's important here is that DWIM stands for do what I mean . I love DWIM interactive commands. They enable commands to be smarter and thus pack more functionality, without incurring the typical cognitive overhead associated with rememb....

In the past, when I set goals to write more frequently, I was always stopped by not having ideas ready for what to write about. Or when I got one, I didn't have a systematic way of collecting them. I would sit down to write, but getting started on a new piece was too difficult. My ONE thing is make it so that when I sit down to write I have a checklist to work from.

CPU cycles are cheaper than they have ever been, and cloud computing has never been more ubiquitous. All the major cloud providers offer generous free tiers, and services like GitHub Actions offer free compute resources to open-source repositories. So why do so many developers still build software on their laptops? Despite the embarrassment of riches of cheap or even free cloud compute, most projects I know of, and most developers, still do..

I've talked about wanting to write this article in Bloggers Gathering for quite a while now, so, here it is.

T.: A lot of them, actually. Or should I say all? ^^ Well, yes. Anyway, I will go into detail below. Website This list is....

Trade Wars 2002 was a great 1991 online game I hosted on one of my BBSes back in the day . Not sure if it was Lorien or Phoenix BBS; it might have been the latter given the game’s release date. I totally forgot TW2002 until yesterday when I spotted this 1991: Trade Wars 2002 article on the 50 Years of Text Games newsletter. I humbly confess that, until yesterday, I never made the obvious connection between TW2002 and Eve Online. ..
