Rational #Bayesians Don’t Converge to the Truth, by Kevin Dorst: https://kevindorst.substack.com/p/rational-bayesians-dont-converge https://dfaria.eu/news?hashtag=2023-06-10T16:20:02Z

Looks like the program for #BayesComp2023 is out (bayescomp2023.com/)! I am very excited to visit Levi, #Finland in March! Super excited to:
- meeting fellow #Bayesians @avehtari, @sethaxen
- presenting short talk on functional programming for Bayesian workflow with #tensorflow_probability and #blackjax
- skiing some Finland powder

Hi there, it is time for an #Introduction !

We are #Berlin #Bayesians, a group for Bayesian enthusiasts and practitioners based in Berlin. We organize talks (mostly in person, sometimes online) on all things Bayesian.

You can check out our events here: https://www.meetup.com/berlinbayesians/

If you'd like to speak at our meetup you can: present your research, give a tutorial on a Bayesian framework or summarize a paper. Feel free to write to us, even if you are not based in Berlin.

I'm at the point where I have to actually tackle this question for the dissertation (also still need to do a bunch of simulation for my BMAME approach), but am torn so pitching this to #statsodon and #bayesians in the hope that someone either has a better answer than I do or can tell me that I'm just wildly overthinking this 🤷‍♂️

I'm very excited to be attending #BayesComp2023 in Levi, #Finland in March and looking forward to meeting any fellow #Bayesians who will also be there!

We are looking for folks like you to share your #bayesian knowledge, best practices, or tricks with the wider PyMC community 📣

🥇 First-time speakers are encouraged.
👀The review process will be double-blind.

@pauldauenhauer Haven't you heard? The #bayesians rule Mastodon (if you ask the bayesians)

Good #bayesians make pour over

Despite this being cool, I still wonder about the applications of this. My gut feeling is that there are many but that it'll take a long time until this dripples into common programming beyond a limited circle of #Bayesians.

One idea concrete idea was live A/B testing of websites with automatic inference of the parameter distribution.

Any other ideas what to do if you can make _any_ program probabilistic instantly?
