⬐ minimaxirPrevious discussion based on an earlier 2015 version of the slide deck: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10244950Back then, I wrote a small tutorial on how to implement and animate the bootstrap technique in R/ggplot2 based on the talk: http://minimaxir.com/2015/09/bootstrap-resample/
⬐ benbenolsonI actually watched the majority of this, it's a very interesting talk. I'd imagine that all of us are going to need to use at least some statistics one day, so I consider it time well spent.⬐ kensaiReally nice. Is there a similar video in R?⬐ babo⬐ hayksaakianIs python matters here?⬐ kensaiNo. Does your comment answer my own question?⬐ baboIs that code answers your question? No offense but the main message of that talk is if you can do a for loop than you can do statistics simulation in any programming environment. Like in R.m <- 0 nexp <- 100000
for (i in 1:nexp) { if (sum(rnorm(30, mean=0, sd=1) < 0) >= 22) { m <- m + 1 } }
print(m / nexp)
⬐ kensaiNow you are finally useful, babo. Seriously. Either not respond or respond as you just* did. Your previous reply was simply uncalled for. :)(*and I will upvote you)
i wish there was a way to 'force mono' on youtube so i could get the same audio from two sides of my headphones.sounds like a really interesting talk, but it's painful to listen to from only 1 ear.
⬐ quibit⬐ voiceclonrPlug your headphones only halfway into the jack.⬐ Normal_gaussian⬐ jameskegelYet another brilliant argument for still using the 3.5mm jack⬐ 746F7475Yeah, because people don't know how to mix audio plug your jack only half way in and risk it getting loose.This is like if some guy was punching people on the street, instead of removing the guy you'd just tell people to duck.
⬐ ricksplatThis is "hacker" news after all ...⬐ Normal_gaussianIt was a cross between sarcasm and a reference to a previous HN discussion on phones looking to phase out the 3.5mm⬐ 746F7475Yes, I am aware, but I'm very much in favor of removing the useless jack. I have already transitioned into using bluetooth earpuds and headphones with my mobile devices and laptops, and I will never go back to cables.One could make a case for this feature by claiming it is an accessibility feature for the non-bilateral deaf / hard of hearing community.⬐ vanderZwan⬐ sceaduAs a non-bilaterally deaf person, I agree. Although TBF, I think it should be an OS-level feature built into the sound settings, instead of asking everyone else to reinvent the wheel all the time.I feed the URL into smplayer and force the audio to mono inside the program when it's unbalanced.⬐ lozf⬐ baboAlternatively:mpv --audio-channels=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5GVOFAYi8k
⬐ mnxThanks, this works great.I found this comment on youtube by asperous helpful: If you are on a mac you can go under accessibility -> sound -> play stereo as mono. This will balance the sound.Nice one!⬐ harveywiSimilar in spirit to John Rauser's 2014 Strata Conference + Hadoop World keynote "Statistics Without the Agonizing Pain" (https://youtu.be/5Dnw46eC-0o).⬐ sitkackI am very glad that he referenced it, that talk was amazing and needs to be duplicated/replicated/spread 10x over.⬐ jrauser:)
