The lack of understanding of how current AI/ large language models work makes us susceptible to thinking that AI is more powerful and all-knowing than it actually is. That’s what concerns me the most.

Ich steh bei Aldi* an der Kassa und hab den Einkauf am Band bereits strategisch so platziert, um beim Einräumen einen Vorteil gegenüber der Kassiererin zu haben. Sie legt los. /1

Have been thinking about this post by Ethan for a few weeks now and sharing it with everyone I know. It is so, so spot-on. Data scientists often don't learn good engineering practices because they are alone, and this prevents them from learning. ethanrosenthal.com/2023/01/1…

Nick Trefethen, professor of numerical analysis at @UniofOxford, explains what the concept of resonance can teach us about dribbling. Watch out, @StephenCurry30!

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer. This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering. Why do we all agree on this?

When our sister Caribbean states experienced disasters in the past, 🇧🇿 was ready to assist. Many campaigns & drives were organised; we shared serious concern over their situation. 🇧🇿 is presently reeling from a hurricane and not even messages of sympathies have been expressed.

Pandas DataFrame output is now available for all sklearn transformers (in dev)! scikit-learn.org/dev/auto_ex… This will make running pipelines on dataframes soo much easier, and provides better ways to track feature names! thanks to @thomasjpfan @glemaitre58 and Christian Lorentzen!

One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

Shoutout to the young academics who made this happen. 👏🏾👏🏾#AcademicTwitter #Academia #NobelPrize
“This prize is an encouragement to young people – the prize would not be possible without more than 100 young people who worked with me over the years.” – Anton Zeilinger during the press conference where he was announced as one of the 2022 #NobelPrize laureates in physics.
Cool! This is a package developed by one of my former colleagues 😊 #RStats

My youngest grandparents were born in 1922 so I’m thinking “100 years?! The same actual, geographical, physical country for 100 years?!” That’s another level of “must be younger than 25 with at least 30 years experience” 😁
They took the mask all the way off while they were writing this one holy shit

Like I know it’s definitely possible or even probably but… 100 years?

Like when I flew with @_austrian recently and they welcomed passengers with “Sehr geehrte Gäste/Dear Guests”. I was like 🤩. It’s pretty easy to make it inclusive if you want to.
