On RNZ right now, they're talking about how the software used by pharmacists is not even remotely fit for purpose. Imagine that. Why isn't that sort of thing being sorted by a publicly funded, openly licensed (available to all) system developed by a consortium of companies - that can be scrutinised by anyone - because it's too important to be entrusted to the proprietary gain of any one company. This stuff is a no-brainer. Some things are far too important to be dependent on a pr…

On goodness-of-fit testing for volatility in McKean-Vlasov models
This paper develops a statistical framework for goodness-of-fit testing of volatility functions in McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations, which describe large systems of interacting particles with distribution-dependent dynamics. While integrated volatility estimation in classical SDEs is now well established, formal model validation and goodness-of-fit testing for McKean-Vlasov systems remain largely unexplored, particularly in regimes with both large particle limits and high-frequen…

I don’t suppose there are any Wii Fit U mods that bring back the missing minigames from Wii Fit Plus right?
I guess they chose only the ones they thought were the best ones to bring back which is fair enough I guess, but some of the ones I like are missing
I’d be very cool if they kept everything from Wii Fit Plus, PLUS the new ones in U
(don’t really wanna get plus on wii mode bc then it’ll be two separate games and leaderboards and stuff, and then I probably won’t want to switch between both modes during a playtime and also I’d probably forget to switch for minigames that are available in both places)

Day 19 (a bit late): Alice Oseman
As I said I've got 14 authors to fit into two days. Probably just going to extend to 30? But Oseman gets this spot as an absolute legend of queer fiction in both novel & graphic novel form, and an excellent example of the many truths queer writers have to share with non-queer people that can make everyone's lives better. Her writing is very kind, despite in many instances dealing with some dark stuff.
I started out on Heartstopper, which is just so lovely and fun to read, and then made my way through several of her novels. The one I'll highlight here which I think it's her greatest triumph is "Loveless", which is semi-autobiographical and was at least my first (but no longer only) experience with the "platonic romance" sub-genre. It not only helped me work through some crufty internal doubts about aro/ace identities that I'd never really examined, but in the process helped improve my understanding of friendship, period. Heck, it's probably a nice novel for anyone questioning any sort of identity or dealing with loneliness, and it's just super-enjoyable as a story regardless of the philosophical value.
To cheat a bit more here on my author count, I recently read "Dear Wendy" by Ann Zhao, which shouts out "Loveless" and offers a more expository exploration of aro/ace identities, but "Loveless" is a book with more heart and better writing overall, including the neat plotting and great pacing. I think there are also parallels with Becky Albertalli's work, though I think I like Oseman slightly more. Certainly both excel at writing queer romance (and romance-adjacent) stuff with happy endings (#OwnVoices wins again with all three authors).
In any case, Oseman is excellent and if you're not up for reading a novel, Heartstopper is a graphic novel series that's easy to jump into and very kind to its adorable main characters.
I think I've now decided to continue to 30, which is a relief, so I'm tagging this (and the next post that rounds out 20) two ways.

Their inclusion is found to be moderate but not negligible on both the PDFs and preferred value of the strong coupling. In…

Making high-order asymptotics practical: correcting goodness-of-fit test for astronomical count data
The C statistic is a widely used likelihood-ratio statistic for model fitting and goodness-of-fit assessments with Poisson data in high-energy physics and astrophysics. Although it enjoys convenient asymptotic properties, the statistic is routinely applied in cases where its nominal null distribution relies on unwarranted assumptions. Because researchers do not typically carry out robustness checks, their scientific findings are left vulnerable to misleading significance calculations. With an e…

Just finished "The Raven Boys," a graphic novel adaptation of a novel by Maggie Stiefvater (adaptation written by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Sas Milledge).
I haven't read the original novel, and because of that, this version felt way too dense, having to fit huge amounts of important details into not enough pages. The illustrations are gorgeous and the writing is fine; the setting and plot have some pretty interesting aspects... It's just too hard to follow a lot of the threads, or things we're supposed to care about aren't given the time/space to feel important.
The other thing that I didn't like: one of the central characters is rich, and we see this reflected in several ways, but we're clearly expected to ignore/excuse the class differences within the cast because he's a good guy. At this point in my life, I'm simply no longer interested in stories about good rich guys very much. It's become clear to me how in real life, we constantly get the perspectives of the rich, and rarely if ever hear the perspectives of the poor (same applies across racial and gender gradients, among others). Why then in fiction should I get more of the same, spending my mental bandwidth building empathy for yet another dilettante who somehow has a heart of gold? I'm tired of that.

Wii Fit is so fun!!

Is anyone else’s Wii Fit U minigame ranking data getting like migrated to their old (nnid) account after rebooting or something?
I’m not sure if it’s because I renamed the old mii to like “Luana-nnid” and the new one is “Luana” or what, maybe it’s a game bug ignoring the hyphens or something and sending the ranking to the oldest account with the same name??
I thought I was getting crazy bc I never played this minigame level on the old account and the ranking was set to that, so I took a screenshot and then today the ranking I got on that day was also stolen by the old account

Jake Ferguson's fiancée Haley Cavinder rocks custom Ferg fit on National TE Day https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/jake-ferguson-fiancee-haley-cavinder-custom-ferg-fit-national-tight-end-day

So yeah maybe don’t try using SaveMii on Wii Fit U to migrate your nnid account save to your pnid one. It not only doesn’t work, but also (seems to) cause at least one weird bug that I only noticed after more than one (almost two by now I think?) year playing
