at my job Iโ€™m expectedutilitymaxxing. I chatted with @alex-andorra.bsky.social on how to make it scalable and fast in an industrial context on top of the probabilistic programming language you already love, PyMC.

New episode is out, where we dive into how to use #ProbabilisticModel to do #DecisionMakingOptimization -- because the best model is useless if you can't make decision from it. See you in there!

Diffusion Models in Simulation-Based Inference: A Tutorial Review Diffusion models have recently emerged as powerful learners for simulation-based inference (SBI), enabling fast and accurate estimation of latent parameters from simulated and real data. Their score-b...

Diffusion models & flow matching are reshaping simulation-based inference.

Thus, we wrote the first tutorial review on diffusion-based SBI. For an overview or a deep dive, check it out and let us know what you think:

You Can Just Make Stuff with OpenCode and Claude Opus 4.5 written by Eric J. Ma on 2025-12-28 | tags: ai opencode claude automation workflow llm reasoning development review tools

I don't code anymoreโ€”I build. AI lets me ship projects by describing what I want, not how to do it. In 10 days, I shipped 6 projects with OpenCode + Claude Opus 4.5. The gap between idea and product is tiny now. Would you try this? Repost or comment! buff.ly/blroW24 #ai #buildfast

Very practical episode this week: What to do when you can't use MCMC but still want #BayesPerks?

Well, Deterministic ADVI is the new kid on the block, and is a pretty cool one ;)

Time to take stock of what is going on in the #TechIndustry, how #GenAI is changing the jobs, and how to integrate it in your career.

Here is a super dense, and hopefully actionable, episode with the great Jordan Thibodeau -- make sure to give his SVIC Podcast a listen!

๐Ÿšจ MCMC or INLA?

๐Ÿคฏ MCMC = slow sampling.
โšก INLA = fast, smart approximations. No chains, no waiting.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ On LBS, @alex-andorra.bsky.social talks with Haavard Rue & Janet Van Niekerk about how INLA works, when to use it, and why itโ€™s a game-changer.
