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…
(*1) there’s piracy xdd

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

- Comment on Dreams come true 1 month ago:
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 2 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…
- Comment on biology subfields 2 months ago:
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.

Ancestor is not the same as non GMO. One could say that primates in Madagascar are ancestors to human. But there’s no human population that is either GMO or went through the process of selective breeding.

There’s no rule against posting direct download links or the like, but I rather be cautious. Anyway, I will share with everyone reading that there’s a 21.4 GiB torrent called Big Trouble in Little China 1986 2160p H265 DTS HD 5.1 [TheUpscaler] .mkv ;D
- Comment on Tim Robbins Says It’s ‘Deranged’ to Compare Trump Assassination Attempt to His 1992 Film ‘Bob Roberts’ 4 months ago:
For what we know, the suspect could even be a supporter of Trump that… Thought on making a martyr. Or, missed deliberately for this very outcome. Or, was a religious fanatic and wanted the best for Trump, sending him to heaven.
My point is, that we shouldn’t get speculative, and more importantly, we shouldn’t reinforce our own worldviews and biases on the basis of such untestable hypotheses.
All the third scenarios in my post sound absurd. Yet, they are equally probable to any other theories.
And indeed, based on evidence (the attempt was done by a kid with an AR-15) we should rethink policies (e.g. gun ownership)
