🎙️ New episode of Learning Bayesian Statistics!
EP 155 with @alex-andorra.bsky.social & Andreas Munk, why Bayesian inference still hasn't broken into everyday use. The barrier isn't the math, it's the mental shift

#Bayesian #ProbablisticProgramming
⚽ Last week, I was thrilled and honored to present our #SoccerFactorModel to Field of Play 2026 in Manchester! 🎙️
It was an absolute blast meeting all these brilliant people, and I can't thank enough the FoP team, especially Dominic Jordan and John Carney for their trust and invitation!
🧵 Thread 👇
New episode is out, my dear Bayesians! All about #CausalInference, #Experimentation at scale, and #GaussianProcesses -- definitely a fun one!
New Episode Alert!
🎙️ Scaling #BayesianCausalInference with Thomas Pinder, Netflix & creator of GPJax
Essential listening for anyone working at the frontier of Bayes, Experimentation & Causal Inference 📈

New episode is out 🍾
The show now has a blog section 🍾
Check out @alex-andorra.bsky.social 's first post!
Just published my first open-source #AgentSkill!
It's called bayesian-workflow, and helps you do #BayesianAnaylsis the right way -- well, at least I hope...
Check it out here: github.com/Learning-Bay...
Thanks @avehtari.bsky.social ! We just added arviz.diagnose under the hood, thanks to @aloctavodia.bsky.social , to run comprehensive diagnostic checks for MCMC sampling automatically 😏
More to come!!
Fundraising = Belief Updating? 🧠📉
New episode is out! I'm talking with Cherian Koshy about the Neuroscience of Philanthropy.
We discuss:
✅ Why generosity is hardwired
✅ Solving the Generosity Gap
✅ Cognitive friction
✅ Ethical AI

Install it: github.com/Learning-Bayesian-Statistics/baygent-skills
Part of a bigger project I call baygent-skills -- "a set of skills to call your agent Bayes. Thomas Bayes".
More skills coming soon! Issues and PRs welcome 🙏
PyMCheers 🖖
Enforces a 9-step workflow: prior elicitation, predictive checks, calibration (LOO-PIT, not vibes), diagnostics, and reporting adapted for non-technical audiences. All the stuff agents skip when left to their own devices.
Lean, opinionated, adapted from the cutting-edge science you hear on the show!
Hellooooooo my dear Bayesians! We just open-sourced an #AgentSkill that teaches coding agents to do #Bayesian stats properly.
No more skipped diagnostics, no more point estimates without uncertainty, no more "trace plots look fine".
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Kimi, Gemini CLI, and more
Episode 152 is out 🎙️
Host @alex-andorra.bsky.social talks with Daniel Saunders about a Bayesian decision theory workflow.
Big idea: stop optimizing for model accuracy and start optimizing for decision value.

🎙️ New episode out now - Episode 151: Diffusion Models in Python, a Live Demo
In this episode, @alex-andorra.bsky.social is joined by Jonas Arruda to explore how diffusion models can be used for simulation-based inference (SBI) in practice with a live Python demo and more ...

Bayesian neural networks need one thing to matter: good uncertainty. Scaling them has always been the hard part
In this episode, host @alex-andorra.bsky.social with Emmanuel Sommer, Jakob Robnik, & David Rügamer explain what’s changing, faster sampling, better dynamics & more ..
🎧 lnkd.in/g2W5cZQZ
Work in tech is changing fast, and not always in obvious ways.
@alex-andorra.bsky.social talks with Alana Karen about how AI, hiring, and management are reshaping careers behind the scenes, AI automating early work, hiring favoring familiarity … and more.

#FutureOfWork
My #AdvancedRegressionModeling course, written with the brilliant Ravin Kumar and @tomicapretto.bsky.social, is now available through my Topmate profile!
So do give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments 👇
See you soon in the Intuitive Bayes' Discourse 🖖

Clinical trials don’t fail because patients fail.
They fail when designs stop learning.
Episode 148 of Learning Bayesian Statistics explores adaptive & platform trials and why "wait for the final analysis" isn’t neutral in ALS or pandemics.

Fast Bayesian inference is great… until you’re babysitting convergence.
@alex-andorra.bsky.social is joined by Martin Ingram to explore DADVI a more predictable, less noisy approach to variational inference that makes trade-offs explicit instead of mysterious
