@Bricky67_ @_harvey_r this you?

[Nathan Cunningham @nathcun]

@Darrenluvsmemez @SueKirk @macangho @donegaldarren Still struggling to find somewhere that stocks such wares.

Since I'm sure some will take this as evidence of an 'invasion', the top ten names in 2023 were: Jack, Noah, James, Rían, Oisín, Fionn, Tadhg, Liam, Cillian, and Daniel.

Boys' names in Ireland are becoming more varied.

According to @CSOIreland data: in 1964 50% of boys born shared just ten names; by 2023 it would take 67 names to account for half of boys born.

@dublinbusnews Thank you, and to note this happens pretty much every single day at this stop at rush hour.

[Nathan Cunningham @nathcun]

@dublinbusnews What's up with the 4 from stop 488, been 2 minutes away for 15 minutes now

[Nathan Cunningham @nathcun]

@dublinbusnews It did not serve it. That bus and the following did not stop there.

[Nathan Cunningham @nathcun]

@DublinCommuters @Padraiccleary - The 11 is every 10 mins at peak.
- I'm delighted with late night buses, but a 3am bus doesn't get me to work.
- The route from the start of the 11 is identical?
I'm not saying 'save the 11', I'm all for BusConnects, but it's not like there are no drawbacks here.

[Nathan Cunningham @nathcun]

@Padraiccleary @DublinCommuters The bus stops between parnell square and Sandyford and at present is still packed until after Parnell Square.

I'm broadly in favour of the changes, but i also understand people not being particularly happy about them and i don't think your map really addresses their concerns.

[Nathan Cunningham @nathcun]

@Padraiccleary @DublinCommuters Also your comparison shows the 11 route stopping north of the Liffey. The entire issue with the change of the 11 is that it currently goes all the way to Sandyford but its replacement stops on Parnell Square.

@dublinbusnews Thanks for the info, but the 11 showed on the map as taking a different route, avoiding Dawson Street. The diversion should be communicate as a lot of people were waiting on Dawson Street.

[Nathan Cunningham @nathcun]

@dublinbusnews the 11 and 155 and seemingly every bus meant to stop on Dawson Street in the last 20 minutes didn't show up despite being live on the tracking

They also strangely have different models for men and women. Not just different parameters, but entirely different models. Women are modelled with logistic regression, men with naive Bayes, a clear sign that they've overfit to the small sample size they have.

Incredible that newspapers will publish such on-the-surface bullshit PR for AI companies.

Apparently, this model can identify, with ~90% accuracy, type 2 diabetes from voice recordings.

[Nathan Cunningham @nathcun]

Even being charitable and just considering sensitivity---what proportion of people with diabetes did the model correctly identify---they only just exceed 50%; as sensitive as diagnosing by coin toss.
