@itsbenigni @raphaelsrty Very cool! I’m thinking of writing some ML stuff in Rust too, but I’m not sure where to start. Do you recommend some stuff to read?

[Max Halford @halford_max]

@polar_sh @psincraian Thank you very much!

[Max Halford @halford_max]

@burcs @whoiskatrin Will it eventually do the tasks for you?

[Max Halford @halford_max]

https://t.co/SRpNtDGwmS is ready for me to share: it's a canvas for writing SQL. It's free and fully open source. I made what I wished I had all these years of churning out SQL. Enjoy!

There is a pro for AI features and such, but it's still early days.

Who, pray, has started to download River ~80k times a day?

[Max Halford @halford_max]

Prince has now been downloaded 2 million times. That's ~8 years to reach 1M, and 13 months to reach 2M. Not bad! Thanks everyone for using it 🙌

Here's a little write-up about how accessing (for free) a training set for bike sharing forecasting, using data I'm scrapping from >50 cities every 15min: https://t.co/RSjpCO2lkd

When you realize there is no PRODUCT function in SQL, and you have to use EXP(SUM(LOG(x))) 😮

@predict_addict @NerdyHaddy We actually do have a conf module with the Jackknife method

That's it we've reached peak humanity, they've made a real-life Pokedex https://t.co/jI81yFxBxL

@rsiqueira @jpluimers Lovely! I didn't know about https://t.co/FCt619UGZA, thanks for the tip :)

[Max Halford @halford_max]

lea now works with @motherduck 🦆🏃‍♀️🥰

[Max Halford @halford_max]

Thanks @_Blef! Indeed, lea is a modest alternative as re-implementing @getdbt in a minimalist way with some tweaks 🔧. We use it everyday at @carbonfact to measure the footprint of fashion brands 👖

@JulienBlanchon @rugbyworldcup @Olympics That’s one possible application, yes. But I think there’s also a lot of valuable data analysis to do, rather than forecasting.

[Max Halford @halford_max]

I'm now scrapping bike sharing figures every 10 minutes for all cities in France. Will ask my students to study the impact of @rugbyworldcup and @Olympics. See https://t.co/k0mhFHKtXn 🚲📊
