Similar in spirit to John Rauser's 2014 Strata Conference + Hadoop World keynote "Statistics Without the Agonizing Pain" (https://youtu.be/5Dnw46eC-0o).

I am very glad that he referenced it, that talk was amazing and needs to be duplicated/replicated/spread 10x over.

Previous discussion based on an earlier 2015 version of the slide deck: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10244950

Back then, I wrote a small tutorial on how to implement and animate the bootstrap technique in R/ggplot2 based on the talk: http://minimaxir.com/2015/09/bootstrap-resample/

Nice one!

kensai2• 10 years ago

Really nice. Is there a similar video in R?

babo3• 10 years ago

Is python matters here?

kensai2• 10 years ago

No. Does your comment answer my own question?

I actually watched the majority of this, it's a very interesting talk. I'd imagine that all of us are going to need to use at least some statistics one day, so I consider it time well spent.

i wish there was a way to 'force mono' on youtube so i could get the same audio from two sides of my headphones.

sounds like a really interesting talk, but it's painful to listen to from only 1 ear.

sceadu• 10 years ago

I feed the URL into smplayer and force the audio to mono inside the program when it's unbalanced.

Alternatively:

      mpv --audio-channels=1  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5GVOFAYi8k

One could make a case for this feature by claiming it is an accessibility feature for the non-bilateral deaf / hard of hearing community.

vanderZwan• 10 years ago

As a non-bilaterally deaf person, I agree. Although TBF, I think it should be an OS-level feature built into the sound settings, instead of asking everyone else to reinvent the wheel all the time.

Plug your headphones only halfway into the jack.

Normal_gaussian2• 10 years ago

Yet another brilliant argument for still using the 3.5mm jack

I found this comment on youtube by asperous helpful: If you are on a mac you can go under accessibility -> sound -> play stereo as mono. This will balance the sound.
