In fact I posted a pdf write-up of these slides (which became my ICM proceedings) to arxiv over two weeks ago, and forgot all about them. I looked just now, and it says that my submission is ... "on hold"?!? Like, I'm some crank who is posting nonsense to the arxiv? And two
@AlexKontorovich Is a pdf of these slides available? I would like to share them with bachelor students in a Lean seminar I am organising.

If you've visited a STEM department at an American university, you know the real reason we have a hard time hiring Americans -- they (mostly) don't pursue STEM degrees. Attaching $ 100K to an H1B visa won't fix the issue -- making STEM cool again in the US might.

"Computer science is one of the rare fields that was born with the knowledge of its own limitations" -- Scott Aaronson talking about Turing's seminal paper on computable numbers. Nice.

The Within-Orbit Adaptive Leapfrog No-U-Turn Sampler. WALNUTS adapts effectively to local curvature ...Moreover, WALNUTS successfully fits complex hierarchical Bayesian models that standard NUTS fails to handle reliably https://t.co/C6V98yO7XI

Learning Lean is what I think learning Japanese would be like for me. Totally foreign and yet exciting.

I haven't read this book, but the authors (Grant & Di Tanna) know their stuff, and they provide code for every script/engine. Meta- and mega-analysis one of those places where Bayes is natural and often easier than non-Bayes.
