Pretty crazy indeed. Just remember my parents telling me about people feeling offended that they had to put a belt on 😂 „The government can’t tell me what to do!“

Ah, fair enough. Didn’t know this was at one point not mandatory even 😉 thanks 🙏

Entirely unaware that they are mandatory. Only for Speed Pedelecs (45 km/h) that also require a license to my knowledge.

Finally did it and got rid of that X account. Science is here anyway, don’t care about the spam, bots or propaganda.

Instead of valentines this year, I’m sending copies of this tiny little book to family and friends. If you have not read it, get two copies today— one to keep and one to give.

The first lesson: Do not obey in advance.
The second: Defend institutions.

It could not be more relevant.

Bytesize: data science operations (DSO) Gregor Sturm, Boehringer Ingelheim

If you want to learn more, I'll be presenting this at a @nf-co.re bytesize talk: nf-co.re/events/2025/...

GitHub - Boehringer-Ingelheim/dso: Data Science Operations (dso) command line tool Data Science Operations (dso) command line tool. Contribute to Boehringer-Ingelheim/dso development by creating an account on GitHub.

I'd like to share DSO, a command line helper to build reproducible data science projects with ease.

It is an opinionated way to organize data science projects, built around data version control (DVC).

Data showing the top 16% of remote workers outperform the top 5% in-office, while the bottom 12% underperform the bottom 5% in-office, makes sense.

Top performers thrive with extra time from no commute, but underperformers struggle without oversight. RTO penalizes top talent for others’ inability.

Finally started a new blog that I intend to occasionally post to - first posting about a small home assistant project - see here: alexpeltzer.substack.com/p/automating...
