Chad Scherrer

Hey all, great knowing you on here. I'm on #Mastodon at @cscherrer@bayes.club #mastodonmigration

I'm a skeeter now - cscherrer. Sorry no codes yet

.@slwu89 put together a nice @epirecipes example that uses MeasureTheory.jl from @ChadScherrer to simulate an SIR model as a Markov process github.com/epirecipes/sir…

At #popl2023 w/ @MITCoCoSci @ZuckermanBrain @DataSciColumbia, we presented AutumnSynth, AutumnSynth synthesizes the source code of a video game from seconds of play. It's a step toward automated scientific discovery through program synthesis Blog/paper: basis.ai/blog/autumn/

Introducing AutumnSynth, a step toward automating scientific discovery through program synthesis. AutumnSynth synthesizes the source code of a video game from seconds of play. paper: basis.ai/publications/a… Blog: basis.ai/blog/autumn/ Why do this? How does it work?🧵

Think that's enough for me. I'm done here, catch me at @cscherrer@bayes.club Take care all, it's been real

@puncwatch @gregyoung Just put this up yesterday

@rickasaurus Ecosystem?

Is it pompous to call a collection of aws environments a universe? Struggling for a good name.

@theabhimanyu @edanbenatar I don't know their new stuff, but some of their old mice and keyboards seemed more designed for a movie set than actual human use

@ChadScherrer @edanbenatar this mouse is very decent compared to what Apple have created in past: macworld.com/article/342225…

@theabhimanyu @edanbenatar Oh so this mouse doesn't really exist? I guess that should be easy for Apple people to verify/dispute. Our maybe Snopes or something

@ChadScherrer @edanbenatar I don't know I think someone told that Logitech manufactured this. I don't know...so I assumed that they came up with design specs as well

@theabhimanyu @edanbenatar Isn't that just a photo of a mouse charging as Apple intends? How is that a Logitech thing?

@edanbenatar evergreen apple meme😅but it was created by Logitech if I am not wrong?

@remilouf The obvious question now (which somehow I've never thought about before) is whether there's a measure theoretic analogue to higher-order Taylor series.

@remilouf Yes! It's the Radon-Nikodym derivative that's fundamental. I think a good intuition for dp/dq is as a first-order correction when you sample from q but are really interested in p. It's almost like a linear approximation in standard calc.

I have this growing feeling that there is something really fundamental about importance sampling.
