BTW the number of seconds in 92 days is yet anther permutation of the same digits.

[ssdpdbxb @ssdpd]

fun fact: if you count the seconds in one month and the seconds in three months, the resulting numbers are permutations of each other.

24 * 60 * 60 * 31 = 2678400 sec (one month)

24 * 60 * 60 * 91 = 7862400 sec (three months)

I'm biased to not believe statements containing “believe me”, and to not read emails with subjects starting with “[IMPORTANT]”.

New work on modeling analog tape from researchers at Aalto university. They use a grey-box model with a combination of an RNN, adversarial training, and multiple diffusion models. Sounds nice.

@moxie elaborating from first principles about how web3 can't deliver on decentralisation promises.

[ssdpdbxb @ssdpd]

again and again:
0. go to databricks
1. grub in all the mess to find the notebook
2. start cluster

go for coffee, check mails, read a short something WHILE CLUSTER IS STARTING

3. go back to find a dialog asking whether you are sure you want to start the cluster

you feel me?

[ssdpdbxb @ssdpd]

often I use a text browser -- totally sufficient for many use cases -- and sometimes I look at html sources and occasionally I find gems.
enjoy!

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter.

So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out)

Ok this is cool -- translates pandas to SQL and run on your favorite DW. This made possible by our research formalizing the mess that is pandas to a dataframe model/algebra you can work with. Congrats to the @ponderdata team for making this a reality!
