You can be small and relevant

Avoid chasing size.


Podcasts of Influence and Cultural Significance

As novaTopFlex, I often listen to Brodie Robertson and Bryan Lunduke podcasts about Linux, BSD, Solaris, and other systems. As geoTopFlex, I primarily listen to Geography by Geoff, though i also listen to Mileage Mike, roadwaywiz, Geography King, Extreme Geography, and other channels with more information about a certain topic. As futoTopFlex, I often listen to Kelly Minter podcasts, as well as podcasts about cultural and historical sites, plus locations of historical significance elsewhere.

#449 Significance tests, p-values, and falsificationism

Thoughts: A statistician and a philosopher debate p-values (not the setup to a joke). Good thread.

...that's also worth remembering with statistical significance and a p>=0.05 level or 1/20 chance of chance. Difficult stuff.

Kaal Bhairav Ashtakam: Meaning, power, significance, & more

It is said that to please Lord Kaal Bhairav, you do not need to engage in any elaborate rituals, sacrifices, or strict codes. All you need to do is be sincerely devoted to him, to Lord Shiva, to your devotion, and also to yourself.

Statistical Significance, p-Values, and the Reporting of Uncertainty 

Theodor Geisel, better known by the nom de plume Dr. Seuss, published The Sneetches in 1961. In this childrenโ€™s story, the Star-Belly Sneetches viewed themselves as superior to the Plain-Belly Sneetches. When the character of Sylvester McMonkey McBean arrives with a machine that can add or remove belly stars (for a modest fee), social upheaval results. In empirical work in economics, stars have long been attached to numbers in tables and figures to indicate the level of statistical significance: one star typically refers to an estimate that is statistically significant at a 10 percent level; two stars, the 5 percent level; and the coveted three stars, the 1 percent level. In the word of Dr. Seuss: โ€œThose stars werenโ€™t so big. They were really so small./You might think such a thing wouldnโ€™t matter at all./But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches/Would brag, โ€˜Weโ€™re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.โ€ In empirical studies, estimates with one, two, or three stars are often viewed as superior to those without such adornments.

#295 The Fallacy of the Null-Hypothesis Significance Test

Thoughts: "the [..] aim of a scientific experiment is not to precipitate decisions, but to make an appropriate adjustment in the degree to which one accepts, or believes, the hypothesis"

Today in โ€œSamuel Pepysโ€™ Diary Reimaginedโ€:

โ€œBeing insignificant can, at times, be liberating in allowing you to simply vanish if you donโ€™t wish to be bothered. At other times, however, it can be frustrating, demotivating, and sad. Because no one bothers.โ€

Kahdesta leikkauksesta tuskallisen hitaasti toivuskellessa huomasin tรคyttyneen kaksi vuotta Mastodontissa. Edellinen vuosikatsaukseni oli tuossa: mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/.
Poissaolo on lisรครคntynyt ja resonanssi harventunut. Ehkรค olemme kasvamassa erilleen, tai minรค vain vรคhenen?

Jokin algoritmi tyrkytti yhtรค liepeellistรค toottiani jollain tapaa merkittรคvรคksi. Oli pรครคssyt "listalle" tehostuksista. Omasta vinkkelistรคni nostaisin esille seuraavat kontribuutioyritykseni tรคltรค vuodelta:

Ketju kognitiiviseen sodankรคyntiin (CW) liittyen, artikkeleita pureskellen ja linkkaillen, mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/
Kevรครคn tuoman elรคmรคn hรคmmentรคvyydestรค ja kantavuudesta ensimmรคisessรค kotipihassa remontti-kurimuksien vรคlissรค, mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/
Ketju remontti-evakkoiluumme liittyen, mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/

Tuoreimpina linkkaukset Sari Valton radio-ohjelmaan ylenmรครคrรคisen itsensรค paapomisen haitallisuudesta, mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/, sekรค Ylen mainioon Jyri Kosolan haastatteluun sotimisen kehittymisestรค, mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/

Normaalitilan suhteen tรคhtรคimeni on ensi vuoden puolella, ja on aivan mahdollista, ettรค sellaista ei enรครค tule. Instanssin nimeen viitaten, Memento mori, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_ ๐Ÿ™‚
