“Lyle”? Like Tate & Lyle? Really?

You can spell Djokovic but you can’t spell Lyles??

“The band?” 😁

[Sketching Science @sketchscience]

Which kind of PCR band did you get?

Reply this tweet with your worst PCR

The lack of understanding of how current AI/ large language models work makes us susceptible to thinking that AI is more powerful and all-knowing than it actually is. That’s what concerns me the most.

Ich steh bei Aldi* an der Kassa und hab den Einkauf am Band bereits strategisch so platziert, um beim Einräumen einen Vorteil gegenüber der Kassiererin zu haben. Sie legt los.

Have been thinking about this post by Ethan for a few weeks now and sharing it with everyone I know. It is so, so spot-on. Data scientists often don't learn good engineering practices because they are alone, and this prevents them from learning. https://t.co/PMH4QhFDni

Nick Trefethen, professor of numerical analysis at @UniofOxford, explains what the concept of resonance can teach us about dribbling. Watch out, @StephenCurry30!

@lynneguist Done 🙂

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer.

This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering.

Why do we all agree on this?

.@karachikhatmal's 🐐Germany clip, with English subtitles. It's too good to be limited to a desi audience.

Decided to keep the same(ish) handle as here, @[email protected]. See you there.

When our sister Caribbean states experienced disasters in the past, 🇧🇿 was ready to assist. Many campaigns & drives were organised; we shared serious concern over their situation. 🇧🇿 is presently reeling from a hurricane and not even messages of sympathies have been expressed.

Pandas DataFrame output is now available for all sklearn transformers (in dev)! https://t.co/o4qdahQpZC This will make running pipelines on dataframes soo much easier, and provides better ways to track feature names! thanks to @thomasjpfan @glemaitre58 and Christian Lorentzen!

One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

@RajJohri2019 @chrisalbon They’re prescription glasses with a blue filter. I’m not sure how it is in the US but I think they would be available at places where you can get prescription glasses.

[Jill Augustine, PhD. @jill_codes]

@chrisalbon @pie_try_ka It is heavy but it works if you change the mouse sensitivity up so you don’t actually move your hand so much. Also that horizontal scroll is super useful for navigating large architecture diagrams.

Shoutout to the young academics who made this happen. 👏🏾👏🏾#AcademicTwitter #Academia #NobelPrize

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“This prize is an encouragement to young people – the prize would not be possible without more than 100 young people who worked with me over the years.”

– Anton Zeilinger during the press conference where he was announced as one of the 2022 #NobelPrize laureates in physics.
