Gargron cwebber2: are you good at math?
#
Gargron and by that i mean stats and algebra
#
cwebber2 Gargron: not really... I can do some things, but usually I can do them better if I have a computer help me :)
#
cwebber2 Gargron: why?
#
Gargron trying to make sense of the chi-square based background model in this https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/presentation/f10b/475bc6d46d0792d7beb1c1ad339041373cd1.pdf
#
Gargron for detecting hashtag trends
#
Gargron i think i got as far as using what they call the "trend score" for sorting, but i think i need to get the p-value to either keep or discard items from the trending set?
#
cwebber2 hm interesting
#
cwebber2 Gargron: like this?
#

#
cwebber2 maybe I should pull out The Cartoon Guide to Statistics ;)
#

#
Gargron i can try to e-mail the person who made those slides...
#

ajordan dansup: congrats! that's amazing!
#
dansup ajordan: thanks!
#
dansup I can't take all the credit, I'm literally standing on the shoulders of giants. from bootstrap.css, laravel php framework, activitypub, and mastodon/pleroma's implementation of AP. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be
