"In computer science, it’s about preventing the computer from doing stupid things with data. In statistics, it’s about preventing *you* from doing stupid things with data."
How many data types can you name? Continuous, discrete, categorical, cardinal, sequential... there's a whole cornucopia of data words and I've tried to explain a bunch of them for you. ✍️ Can you think of any I forgot? https://t.co/GPKqMUkhq9

There are some great stats/Bayes textbooks but in my opinion all of them are incomplete with respect to the goal of building bespoke models and maximizing the utility of the available data. A short thread.
@betanalpha Just by curiosity, what would be your top 5 must read books on statistics/bayesian stuff?
