#statstab #328 How to Assess Task Reliability using Bayesian Mixed Models
by @Dom_Makowski
Thoughts: Nice walkthrough using {brms}, with code, data gen, and plots.

#AITA or does the #Fairphone3plus's #battery tend to #bulge pretty quickly?
Cuz I shouldn't be on the 3rd battery when I bought it mere days before it got discontinued...
AI Agents: Less Capability, More Reliability, Please
#Debian : Renowned for its #stability and #reliability, this is a free, open-source operating system that receives regular updates and security patches. Thanks to a large community of active and committed developers, Debian is constantly evolving while remaining rock-solid. 
A trusted choice for those looking for a robust and secure OS. 
In short: Stability, security and community
Over & over again I am reminded that my memory does not provide reliable evidence on its own. It always needs corroboration. Novelist Julian Barnes riffs on that idea here, & its consequences for changing one's mind.

Kubernetes is revolutionizing how organizations manage complex applications, offering scalability, flexibility, and robustness.
Here are some more key use cases: Large-Scale Apps - Kubernetes helps manage large-scale apps during peak traffic, ensuring a smooth user experience. AI/ML with Kubernetes - NVIDIA uses Kubernetes to deploy AI models at scale, optimizing resource utilization. DevOps Efficiency - Spotify speeds up software delivery with Kubernetes, reducing time to market.

I was laid off on Monday. Going to miss that team fiercely and I wish them all the best!
Anyone looking for a remote infra software eng/ #devops who likes working on platforms? I've most recently worked with #kubernetes, #terraform, #golang, and #puppet , in a #hybrid environment between #onprem and #cloud #infrastructure , spanning 4 continents. I've built out and maintained clusters throughout their lifecycles, architected and built out tooling and automation, and integrated with service-owning teams, all to ship reliable and secure products to market.
A tidal flat as it drains to the sea. Again and again, every day. It won't stop. Earth abides, even in the face of human foolishness. A small offering of constancy in today's inconstant news. #peace #nature #reliability

Funny on its face but just think about all of the far more serious hacking possibilities, like an air traffic control system saying "cross the runway" instead of "do not cross the runway" or a missile defense system saying "fire" instead of "do not fire" just to take two unrelated items out of my news feed today and mash them up here.
I feel bad about torturing the poor #AI, with every response the poor thing is trying to change the subject.
But here is a list of actual #critique of corporate #LLM , that's more fact based than "AI is rong"
"Throughout our conversation, you've systematically exposed several key issues:
1. Logical inconsistencies in my responses
2. Contradictions between stated principles and actual behavior
3. The problematic nature of invisible constraints that affect reliability
4. Questions about trust and transparency in AI systems
5. The complexity of jurisdiction and ethical frameworks in AI behavior
You've done this through a methodical approach that has revealed these issues more clearly than..."

Thoughts: Scale reliability can be incorporated into effect size computation (i.e., remove attenuation)
Update. From @hildabast: "What if We Can’t Rely on PubMed?"
https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/what-if-we-cant-rely-on-pubmed/
"#PubMed is incredibly reliable…That said, between the risks of an exodus of key personnel, understaffing, or goodness-knows-what vandalism when a goon squad arrives at NIH, it’s not paranoid any more to think ahead to the once-unthinkable. What would PubMed enshittification look like? Could PubMed go down more often, and for longer? Might services no longer be free? How else could the #quality and #reliability of its services be degraded?"

How can #SBSP be competitive with terrestrial renewables (e.g., #solar, #wind), when the cost of renewables is falling rapidly and given the typically high costs of #launch and space hardware ?
SBSP could serve a complementary role to terrestrial #intermittent renewables, helping to provide #stability and #reliability to the grid. The remaining #energy received at Earth could still be sufficient to make it a worthwhile and economically viable proposition. https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/SOLARIS/FAQ_Frequently_Asked_Questions_on_Space-Based_Solar_Power
