A special guest in #Lecture4 of #SMWA22: @_3s_ gave a special #MachineLearning cup to the winners of the in-class @kaggle competition. Big congratz! NB Pretty jealous about the #randomforest cup

Very few people can have two or three big ideas per year, but you need to publish two or three papers a year to keep an academic job. Ergo, lots of uninteresting papers.
I know I published journal articles I wouldn’t want to read.

Spijtig dat @destandaard podcast nav 30 jaar #Linux compleet voorbij gaat aan de (hoofd)rol van #GNU, #Stallman, #FSF en veel van hun ideeën/contributies ten onrechte toeschrijft aan Thorvalds: standaard.be/cnt/dmf20210714… @ddeckmyn

En uiteraard zijn heel velen erg rijk geworden door #Linux en het ecosysteem errond, waaronder niet in het minst Torvalds zelf: therichest.com/celebnetworth…

Almost 6y ago, I did a small speed comparison of #Julialang, #Fortran and #Rstats on Bayesian probit model. Recently, I picked up #julialang again and replicated the benchmark. Amazed by the performance of Julia. Writeup code: github.com/driesbenoit/bench…

Eén jaar geleden intussen, ik viel van mn stoel... Ook experten kunnen en mogen zich vergissen. Maar net daarom moeten hun aanbevelingen ook kritisch bekeken worden. Dat doen we te weinig.

Wordt hier prevalentie (verspreiding) niet door elkaar gehaald met 'dodelijkheid'? 56 doden op 2000 besmettingen: de kans op overlijden gegeven besmetting ligt ruim 20x hoger dan pakweg bij de griep. #killervirus #coronavirus
