@matthematician Drop me a line. Joined an industry data science team in January 2022 and feels amazing.
Short answers: self taught with the right materials, on the job training. pro: independent projects, con: the science is automatable (need to be artful too!).

If you see this post, QT with the most recent photo you took of your pet. No cheating!

@RanthonyEdmonds Very nice!

AI is brilliant. 🤣🤣

This is how elephants found a way to live on the moon. The answer is very simple, but it might shock you!

Especially because I downloaded Cash App and PayPal and I hate app bloat.

Hot tip: if you're asking me to donate for a gift, give me a week to get you some cash, not a night to Venmo you. #OldPeople

Show raw data in your figs, not just models. Thank you.

[A Marm Kilpatrick now @disease-ecology.bsky.social @DiseaseEcology]

How to mislead in science: hide raw data in supp material (SM).
Just had a dept-wide reading group of a recent Science paper on latitudinal/temperature trends in predation pressure (10.1126/science.abc4916). Paper claims simple clean patterns (fig) but where are the data???

[Chris Miles @ChrisEMiles]

can anyone recommend a modern undergrad math biology text? I love the classics (Edelstein-Keshet, deVries, Murray) but I feel they're too focused on model analysis rather than the holistic process of model construction + data comparison that current math bio often entails

ALT: Out of context image from "Digital Design and Computer Architecture" Harris & Harris claims to show increasing levels of "depth" from consumer-facing application software to electron movement

5+ semesters of physics paying off like whoa right now as a full stack developer

I just high fived a stuffed cheetah, and...?

@ZachWeiner More time. Aside from "typical" I like that she reaches the edge of an app's/game's ability to entertain her, usually the last level or feature, and I help her download more things. I'm curious when I'm on a screen, she's curious when she's on a screen.

Ada Lovelace, the first programmer, begging her collaborator Charles Babbage, the inventor of the first general computer, not to mess with her math

[Dr. Rebecca Gasper @randomcashew]

Thoughtful description of dev work.

[Jessica Flack @C4COMPUTATION]

I spent the morning reading Dijkstra’s 1972 Turing Lecture, “The Humble Programmer”, in which he points out that the job of programmers is not to “make programs” but to design classes of computations that display desired behavior. With this re-framing 1/n

@Mathy_Jessica Madison welcomes you. ♥️

@RimmaH112514 We might have a skewed perception of what cool and edgy means but also

[Dr. Rebecca Gasper @randomcashew]

@siwelwerd I don't think the contrapositive is true, though.

[Dr. Rebecca Gasper @randomcashew]

I had fun poking around on the Netflix blog and reading some papers. I'll post them later.

[Dr. Rebecca Gasper @randomcashew]

Looking for your favorite papers/chapters on machine learning with continuous learning, continuous delivery, or continuous integration. Anyone inspired in that realm lately? Or conversely, depressed/upset? I'll accept entertained. Just teach me something. #ML #ACS #SIAM
