MC Stan VS Movies Anywhere

My approach to problems like this is to write down the proposed model mathematically first, in extreme detail. I find hierarchical form to be the easiest way to break it down piece by piece. Once I have the maths then I turn it into a Stan model. Last step is to use the Stan output to answer the research questions. Source: 11 months ago

For instance my first choice in these cases is always a Bayesian inference tool like Stan. In my experience as someone who’s more of a programmer than mathematician/statistician, Bayesian tools like this make it much easier to not accidentally fool yourself with assumptions, and they can be pretty good at catching statistical mistakes.

I tend to be most impressed by tools and libraries. The stuff that has most impressed me in my time in ML is stuff like pytorch and Stan, tools that allow expression of a wide variety of statistical (and ML, DL models, if you believe there's a distinction) models and inference from those models. These are the things that have had the largest effect in my own work, not in the sense of just using these tools, but... Source: 12 months ago

Oh its certainly used in practice. You should look into frameworks like Stan[1] and pyro[2]. I think bayesian models are seen as more explainable so they will be used in industries that value that sort of thing [1] https://mc-stan.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

At this point the only people using such things are the programmers. Think e.g. STAN. https://mc-stan.org/ the rest of us: R, SAS, Excel. Source: about 1 year ago

There is no app at the moment but the following website has an agreement with Vudu and it’s working on any browser https://moviesanywhere.com/welcome. Source: 11 months ago

Didn't it just become Movies Anywhere? I bought a bunch of bluray movies recently, and they came with a code for digital (didn't pay extra, AFAIK). I entered the code into a website and now I can watch those movies online using a bunch of different services. Also, when I went and looked in my digital movie library, it contains the couple of movies that I had via Ultraviolet, so I think they just transferred over. Source: 11 months ago

You might be able to use Movies Anywhere to get a movie on both platforms if you purchase it only on one, but that only works on movies, not TV shows. And I think only certain movies. Source: about 1 year ago

Movies Anywhere is a free, legal way to watch movies bought on multiple platforms including Apple. I wonder if there’s a way to use that service on Linux (web?). I haven’t tried personally just wanted to throw it out there. Source: about 1 year ago

If you connect your digital media accounts like prime video, ITunes, Microsoft Movies, YouTube Movies, and Vudu to the Movies Anywhere service you can access certain movies on all platforms https://moviesanywhere.com/welcome It can be really useful for not rebuying certain movies. Unless you love Vudu and don’t want to have movies elsewhere this is a good deal. It just will only be on prime unless they agree to... Source: about 1 year ago
