Emerging from the abyss to say that I'll be doing a live break down tommorow evening with @fatbirdsc.bsky.social and @en1gm4tic.bsky.social for the work we all did on Spirit Breaker!

not sure if some people understand that part of what makes creating so rewarding is the fact that it *is* hard. It doesn’t matter if you’re been painting or writing for 80 years— every piece will have problems that need solving, and few things feel better than figuring it out.
This is a loss for CIG, but I look forward to seeing where this lovely ball of joy goes in the future.
Doechii Tiny Desk Concert one of the best of all time, if not THE best. Combination of the lyricism, novelty, and expertise of Missy, and the energy and aggression of Rico.
And the sheer depth of talent in the band??? Rivals any jazz set.

Meme of a crying guy, making fun of a news article titled “Don’t replace the culture war with class war” for being bootlicking shit
Is it Bad to leave Twitter? No. Here are 7+ years of insights from my lab’s research that explain why.

No genre of music fell off harder than country music from the 80s outlaw country that was irreverent of institutions to the stadium country now that is just about girls in jeans, trucks, beers and loving patriotism and the corporate sponsors
lmaooo bro has no joie de vivre
This is a fantastic film that will have your heart racing from a frenetic jazz soundtrack that compels you through a complicated story of American imperialism in central Africa.
Informative and so engaging, especially if you like jazz.
A rising tide which does not raise all boats will drown people
100% I love a cheeky little Lagrange layover myself, but when I was having consistent issues with hangars and landing services it was annoying keeping a running tally of which spots would let me refuel.
Yeah, not saying I want them to do it any different. I'm definitely pro-sim SC, but things like QT fuel capacity are things that can wait til the "beta" phase to be fine tuned.
"but not in the game's current state" is such a necessary addendum to all discussions of balance and sim aspects.
I absolutely love how tedious and involved cargo is now. I don't love losing 20 minutes of loading time to a random piece of discarded landing gear blowing up my ship as a leave hangar.
It gives and gives and gives until you've got a busy week and can't give it enough attention and it punishes you by taking away the book you were obsessed with.
Libby is a love-bombing abuser, but we love her.
Yes, that's true. I'm thinking of it in the context of interactive visualizations where you have the user manipulate parameters on a front end. Having those pre-calculated vs stalling out the application.
I was projecting a specific problem I had with a dev at my org to a general problem space lol
it's great that google has improved by making sure the first thing you see in any search is an unsourced list of falsehoods.
That's a hell of a career. You should def be proud of it.
What program are you in?
I second this 100%.
I'll add that (in my experience) SQL is an easier thing to modify and debug when you get used to it.
SQL is more powerful than you realize. As an example, I've applied logistic regressions to entire datasets in PrestoSQL.
(This was an entirely unnecessary thing to do, but just to say what's possible)
The replies:
The problem is in the deployment of the tool.
Additional transformations add unnecessary load to whatever device you are trying to represent the data on.
Python and R are powerful, but running the query/transformations in a hosted database and then just passing the raw numbers through is faster.
most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true

This! The objective function of a model is just math in isolation, but the moment it is applied in vivo, the objective becomes embedded in the cultural context by which it is used.
For those wondering if/when #StarCitizen CIG/RSI will have an official company presence on Bluesky, here is a tweet from @galaxt1ka.bsky.social on Twitter from a few days ago explaining their plan that magically got very little visibility.
That's such a cool case! Would be an easy decision if I had the desk real estate for it.
Thank you! The perspective was perfect for it so I had to ☺️
Wait a minute... this isn't Pyro III
Why does the Denver airport feel like it's designed as an elaborate bit?
