Spain’s PM "…one can be against a hateful regime (like Iran)... & at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law."

Spain's Gov also expels US aircraft.

Had to think of this cool vintage graphic from 1906. I love how it displays population density in a beautifully simple way. Best practice #dataviz if you ask me. Source: buff.ly/3AA35vO

For once I’m hoping more work is coming my way. The EI I’m a bit player on is really interesting and important in education.

Two different notations between the two lecturers? Or more? The latter would not be unusual in my experience. 😂

Accidentally called it the Ice House instead of the White House, and I’m not wrong.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Except literally every data analysis or model I've ever asked AI to build has contained at least one error: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Common response: "But someone just needs to give AI detailed instructions..."

But who is the "someone" in that sentence? And how did they get their expertise?
