Me vs. Claude
So I asked Claude this question: And it generated this response: And when I was adding these covariance functions, this is what I was using to test out what I had implemented in C++, to the Stan math library: From a quick look over, it doesn’t look totally correct. But see for yourself. I’m not…

sue me (lick my NUTS)
the fine print (this isn’t a legally binding agreement) So since I didn’t sign anything, this isn’t a legally binding agreement. I’m being exploited. I gave a similar model to Taylor Smith, who didn’t pay me enough to live in the US and I had to leave back to Colombia. I am so broke, that…

the world is a business.
“… there are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no west. There is only one wholistic system of systems. One vast, and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational, dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars … There is no America, there is no…

A Letter to Dr. Prasad and the FDA on the Regulation of LLMS Technologies in the Healthcare Industry
This started as a thread on LinkedIn, but I doubt this will get anyone’s eyes on it at the FDA, so I sent Dr. Prasad an email. I figured I’d do something more formal. Here’s what I wrote: “Dear Dr. Prasad, I’m sure you already know, but LLM techonologies have been rapidly deployed, and are…

Moneyball with your Life: Down and Out in Detroit and Mexico City
The pandemic started. China paid me a good salary, but I left China, since it was getting locked down. I sat in Bangkok, Thailand, watching the death toll go up, while practicing writing Stan models. I had a few hundred dollars from my stipend. I had to make a move. I flew back to Detroit.…

Staring at Trace Plots
I remember sitting in her office, with Eunjee Lee, PhD. We’re looking at a trace plot, this is a Metropolis-Hastings embedded in a Gibbs sampler, and there were multiple. We call it a “Metropolis-within-Gibbs.” So we’re looking at a trace plot. And she says zoom in, zoom in. So I zoom in. And she pauses,…

Connecting to the Blogograph (a continuation of the blogosphere series) to Korea, and getting fired, again.
So I’ve decided we’re renaming the “blogosphere” to the “blogograph,” since this is more accurate. Out of undergrad I met Daniel Kessler, PhD, (https://www.dankessler.me/) yes, at Michigan at Skeeps over a beer. Love this guy, he’s a great technician and I adopted his computational workflow. After talking he invited me to work with the University…

Connecting to the Blogosphere part 2
(As I’m writing this I’m realizing the webcrawler probably starts from Gelman’s blog and parses the comments, so I need to comment more, I’m doing this backwards. Moreover, it’s technically a blog-o-graph, but that’s not as funny as blogosphere, so whatever). So one resource, that’s helpfun when getting started with Stan: https://mc-stan.org/ Is Michael Betancourt…

more litter from my trail of tears
Feel free to correct me or reply if there’s any obvious mistake I’m making. I might be telling on myself here. So during my masters, I was assigned an adviser who then assigned me a project. This was a research based masters with graduate level mathematics course requirements and a minimum 70 page thesis, in…
