Your son is following much more interesting classes than I was at that age!

disclaimer: it has been quite some time since I was 13 so I can't really gauge how difficult this is! Theory-wise, you can't really do better than 3blue1brown (but same disclaimer as above, might require some tricky maths): www.youtube.com/watch?v=airc...

For any modern type of encryption it should be nigh impossible to determine the encryption method from the ciphertext (by design). Classification of e.g., images might be a lot simpler and pretty cool? Keras makes it quite easy in combination with something like www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfCP...

Me every time I get shot down

Me, every time @cjungerius.bsky.social suggests Bayesian Models.

Excited to share my primer on simulation-based power analysis using R, Python, and Julia! Based on @debruine.bsky.social@kirsten-adam.bsky.socialcjungerius.github.io/powersim/

The second preprint of my PhD with @haslagter.bsky.socialosf.io/exgvu

Monday morning journal club really spoke to the imagination this week

While I have some minor gripes with this - I feel like MCMC has won the Bayesian inference method war, and the focus on belief updates ignores the value of posterior predictive checks (*how* do models fail, and why?) - in the abstract I really like this take on adverserial collaboration.
