Universal probabilistic programming systems let us write models that we would struggle to otherwise express. But current inference engines are usually catastrophically inefficient for such problems. Our new paper provides a completely new approach that helps close this gap.

A p-value is NOT the probability that the null hypothesis is correct. Not even close. Persistent and pernicious misunderstanding.

🔥Great article with loads of practical advice on how 2 cheap ML experiments in AWS. "Repurposing EBS volume is a good idea: fresh EBS-volume restored from snapshot is slow, because every block of the volume is read from S3 on first access. Repurposed EBS volume is 'hot' & fast."

Pretty cool!
