A wild twist in the story manchestermill.co.uk/exclusive-fi... I bet this has happened elsewhere and just not been caught

Analysing data would be so much easier if we could all use decimal time: the French Republican Calendar, but more extreme.

"Create an image of 100 animals with their names under" 60/100 created. 2 correctly labelled 17 real animals but in the wrong place 8 unreadable.

Having recently made the jump from RStudio to Positron, I am struggling to go back to using RS in a TRE. What do you mean my code isn't self-formatting every time I hit save?

Trying to bring beers on to the terraces

Philosophers are basically the op-ed section of academia. Take that as you will.

I just feel like the 'negotiations' between the US and Russia are going to result in Ukraine getting a worse-than-shit deal. Ukraine will reject it and the US will use it as a pre-text to stop any support to Ukraine bc UA rejected the deal.

If a scientist who uses a microscope in their work never learns how to use a microscope, we find them a new career. If a scientist uses statistics in their work but never learns how to use statistics, we promote them even faster, and let them decide how other people should use statistics.

An early contender for headline of the year…

Work harder so you can buy more treats for me.

I really hope that bsky adds some sort of verification soon. With the influx, I can't always tell if a public figure's account is genuine.

The look when you spend the morning on bluesky and not doing your work.

Better not make any typos today

Is this platform pronounced blue-sky (like the where clouds are) or blue-ski (giving it a slight Russian feel)? Maybe a debate for our time like the pronunciation of Stata?

Hi, can you help me? I want to develop a model that makes risk predictions. Use logistic regression. Can I use some more modern techniques, like AI? Use a neural network with single non-hidden feed forward layer that outputs to a single dimension using a sigmoid activation function.

bksy will be much better if/when #FBPE nonsense doesn't port over from twitter.

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.

Matt Gaetz as AG, they will have a lot of trouble if anything gets to court.
