- Comment on "We Were Asleep At The Wheel": Ridley Scott Reflects On Divisive Alien Prequel Prometheus 4 weeks ago:
The fact that black goo “eats” other life to “grow” implies that this Engineer on, according to the article, ancient planet Earth wasn’t just planting life. Also, there was almost no lava on Earth so it would be some recent geological time. I can only accept that he was planting human-like Intelligent life, perhaps our species itself. I liked it because it seemed to align with creationist myth and that’s a huge cultural mashup to me.
Anyway, I tend to overthink…
There’s another ‘fact’ taken for granted by this article that I can’t quite follow. They say the Engineer was acting on its own and this was a negative behavior in their species, a bit of a paria. What sustains such claim?
PS. I only saw Aliens (1986) and Prometheus. Not a fan of horror, but SciFi.

Did anyone read the grammar of graphics paper from Hadley Wickham? I kind of enjoyed it a lot, and got to know what’s the power source really. I’m amazed so many software libraries came to reinvent compossibility in such unergonomic ways… But it’s nice to have options.
I think I might prefer base R over matplotlib though… :p

Can you do a plot a hundred times with a hundred different datasets with these templates? Without having to apply such template to each file, just pointing to the folder with them…
To me that’s the whole point of programming, you can automatically do a thing and it doesn’t matter if it took an hour to write the code. Once you have it, you point it to the folder with all datasets, iterate over while you drink a coffee and then you have the hundreds of plots.

i think we just have higher neurodiversity…
meanwhile, facebook and so on, have more assholes, fake accounts, etc.
But we are not fully immune to assholes, we all are (at some point).

I only learnt this recently, buy snail depictions were ubiquitous in gothic manuscripts’ marginalia. Oftentimes, with social implications, very much like satire. The snail, being slow and seemingly harmless, simbolizes futility or absurdity of certain endeavors. There’s many interpretations among historians and art enthusiasts.

Game is huge. Do use cheats for potions or ingredients. Check popular mods that give easy way around cumbersome tasks.
And, if you’re like me and always play spellcasters instead of fighters in RPGs, do check some builds after certain level (20s?). Get griffin set of course, do know there are levels for its items.

First, stop buying games (*1)
Second, consider reading about the sunken costs fallacy, e.g. duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+overcome+sunk+cost+falla…

I loved the end!
Spoiler
It was open. Did you see how the “other guy” behind opens his smile with the knife? To me, that detail, meant like yeah now every crazy person will be ‘the’ joker. But I’d rather think he just survived. I think it’s the main interpretation.

Not boring, just somewhat lengthy. To be fair, I barely noticed it’s length, until a moment …when it seems to be the end, but then well, no, that wasn’t the end. Movie continues :P

In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality (“garbage”) information or input produces a result or output of similar (“garbage”) quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.
There was some research article applying this 70s computer science concept to LLMs. It was published in Nature and hit major news outlets. Basically they further trained GPT on its output for a couple generations, until the model degraded terribly. Sounded obvious to me, but seeing it happen on the www is painful nonetheless…

First post was fun. The pedantic conversation not so much, only a little because the one that comes correcting then it’s shown to be wrong.

It’s difficult to know if this might just be a correlation to age of onset, plus the effect of new project or career. Maybe other graduates of similar careers that doesn’t go into PhD programmes would be a nice control. But there’s no curve there. Alas, I know academia is difficult. But I wouldn’t dare drawings conclusion without a proper comparison.

- Comment on biology subfields 3 months ago:
Oh, and just to be clear. The whole idea of separating the two fields is plane wrong. There’s a lot of workers that do both. And, if there’s any worker that only does 1 discipline, it’s likely working in a team with at least 1 person doing the other…

This only shows how ignorant on bioinformatic analyses is whoever listed two items on the left. Without effort, I can say… git, bash, python, R-lang, alignment algorithms, UMAP, clustering algorithms, snakemake, nextflow, slurm, amazon web services, google cloud platform, conda, heuristics, more algorithms, deep learning, machine learning, imputing missing values, frequentist statistics, parametric or not, bayesian statistics, mmm… Ok, point given.
