Compelling visualization showing global temperature over time. It's the last bit that is compelling. Avg is about the same, but variation is increased.

Tariffs = Tax = Higher Prices.
I'm getting emails from ecommerce companies warning of price increases.

Fundamental. There are always options for decomposability in just about any system.

I'm also disappointed that people still use X. Tbh, bsky is not quite there yet in terms of network, content and engagement. But, it just takes a few more people to come over till it tips.

helpful. thanks for sharing.

Progress on the elusive sequence-based recommendations.

A shame. he creates a narrative of fraud that is unsubstantiated but will never be held accountable.

Should Data Scientists Care About Quantum Computing? | Towards Data Science I am sure the quantum hype has reached every person in tech (and outside it, most probably). With some over-the-top claims, like “some company has proved quantum supremacy,” “the quantum revolution…

Quantum computing and data science... a match made in tech heaven? Sara A. Metwalli's latest article explores how these 2 fields intersect and why data scientists should care about quantum advancements.

Great use of AI (hope it's sustainable)

Thoughtful article on the role of statistics in AI by Friedrich, et al. I didn't think there would be any question about it. Causal reasoning, uncertainty, evaluation, etc - all are crucial to AI and come from the school of statistics.

You pull 2 eggs. The chances your 1st pull is double yolked is 1/1,000. The chances for your 2nd pull is also 1/1,000. The chances BOTH pulls are double yolked is 1/1,000,000, since both have to happen (1/1,000 * 1/1,000). Beyond 2: (1/1000)^n, where n is the number of double yolked eggs to find.

This resonates ... for 20+ years, I've embraced ANN only as as a very lose metaphor for how our human brains work. But in the last 2 years I couldn't help but notice more and more similarities.

Thank you for sharing. I think statistics is fundamental to AI.

Really, just 18... they goto college and you get a bunch of time back. But then you miss them and try to stalk them at their college :).

Thank you for protecting our species!
