* soundnfury
engages in a culinary experiment
<soundnfury>
the null hypothesis is that crumpets are not improved by the addition of duck fat
* UmbralRaptor
ponders asking for the bot to post arxiv abstracts.
* UmbralRaptor
suspects that this is a bad idea.
<UmbralRaptor>
soundnfury: how much power does this study have?
<soundnfury>
UmbralRaptor: I have two crumpets, so n_control and n_effect are both 1
<soundnfury>
also it's not blinded even slightly
<soundnfury>
conclusions: a positive effect was measured, but was not significant at the 5% level. Please grant me lots of funding so I can buy many crumpets and ducks and run a larger study :)
<UmbralRaptor>
egg|zzz|egg should be able to supply the ducks.

that must have been an adventure of a ride

also 250 ug on the very first intentional use of it with no-one else having a clue what's going on

bofh: also we're switching to lunar releases, so we'll release whatever we have every month (some releases may have no user-facing changes, but at least we'll progress to the list of mathematicians)
<egg|laptop|egg>
bofh: next one is Cardano, then Catalan, Cauchy, Cayley, Чебышёв (on a total egglipse!), Cesàro, Chasles, 陈景润, Chevalley, Christoffel, Clifford (partial egglipse), Cohen, Coxeter, Cramer
<egg|laptop|egg>
erm, I mean, this one is Cardano, the next one is Cartan
