@JaspervanLooij I don't know the titles we used by heart, so I'd have to look when I get home

I recall that we used sillaby, not textbooks for the introductory probability and statistics courses. So I can't really help you there. For linear models and generalized linear models, I think we used "Applied Regression Analysis and Generalized Linear Models" by J. Fox. That went pretty in depth into the maths of linear models.

For statistical learning/introduction to machine learning, we used (I think, again based on google search and looking for familiar covers) "The Elements of Statistical Learning" by Hastie, Tribshirani and Friedman.

I fall from my bed tonight. It still hurts like hell ><

@Ælis oh no! :(

nightmares?

I don't know. When I have nightmares early in the night, I can't remember them

erh

@Mithrandir I didn't notice the water bottle.

> Howard: Sheldon, if you were a robot, and I knew and you didn’t, would you want me to tell you?

Sheldon: That depends. When I learn that I’m a robot, will I be able to handle it?

Howard: Maybe, although the history of science-fiction is not on your side.

Sheldon: Uh, let me ask you this. When I learn that I’m a robot, would I be bound by Asimov’s three laws of robotics?

Raj: You might be bound by them right now.

Howard: That’s true. Have you ever harmed a human being, or through inaction allowed a human being to come to harm?

(Might sound more funny if you're familiar with the characters of The Big Bang Theory)

I recently watched a clip of TBBT, and it was just 3 minutes of sex jokes :/

Which one?

Nog Shine

@JAD lol

This show is full of various kind of jokes, but I agree most of them are sex jokes.

I like those referenced with science theory/experiment.

I guess I liked the first few (two?) seasons

7:13 AM

@JAD Yeah, till then there was a focus five main characters. Then they included more and the show got more messy.

Morning :)

Afternoon :)

I'm currently rewatching Mr. Robot as the last season approaches :p

@CaldeiraG I am currently watching nothing, but need to recap John Wick 1 and 2.

To preface my question, I am a 22 years old guy from a western European country (not in UK), currently spending a few months in UK for an internship. Not wanting to bother with rent, house insurance, contracts and whatnot, I decided I'd book a room in a house, using a famous website where people...

My boyfriend and I have been together 4 months and my anxiety is ruining our relationship. When we have a slight clash of opinions/different viewpoints it triggers my anxiety and it will turn into a full blown argument. Or I will read into things, assume he is angry with me, and constantly seek r...

Q: My co-worker has promised to bring in his old guitar as a present for me but keeps forgetting it. How do I remind him without sounds spoilt?

He's a good guy who has a lot on his plate at the moment. The issue is I just want to get shredding on the electric guitar he has promised me.How do I politely remind him of his promise to me?

it got deleted so probably that's why it didn't trigger anything

Nah the bot shouldn't care about deleted or not

It's just in a bad mood

Bots aren't fans of hump-day :(

@scohe001 thanks for this, needed to post this somewhere as a comment.

@Ælis Apple.SE did, SO did go down.

I guess it was about their a week ago post that they'd do something in late august.

Whenever I argue, people always seem to take it very personally. I see it more as problem solving, where the problem is whatever is being argued (99.9% of the time, the disputed premise is purely hypothetical). The progression usually goes like so: Person and I find a thought we have dispute...

@Ælis I'm not on IPS often, but had a script sorting some problems on another machine so I was scanning through sites (guitar is one of my search terms)
