and i strongly, strongly believe that writing is upstream of clear thinking and strong understanding

Government statistical agency

.01 and .04 95% is just descriptive reports, data wrangling, data scraping, api use, etc, etc. Very few predictions, hardly any causal analysis.

The NL components might provide some initial clues:

Data use 80,0
Data services 97,2
Data products 82,2
Data sources 81,3
Data infrastructure 85,0

The statistical performance indicators data from the World Bank for 2024 has been released today, and I've been working on a little interactive explainer 📊

What an amazing way to visualize early human migration. Lovely map by @HarvardCGA. A great colour scheme and an appropriate map projection! Source: buff.ly/3lbxonJ

Boy jumping from the stairs into the sea, with an island in the background. Scene of the 2013 movie "Trampolim do Forte".

Post a movie where you are from

Obligatory meme

Secrid - Dutch wallet makers since 1995 Industrial design and fashion come together in pocket-sized essentials. Ethically Made in Holland. Designed to last.

I recommend these. Very durable. secrid.com/en-global/

Isn't most relevant the comparison with single member district plurality voting?

Que são excelentes. Melhor ainda se prescindirem das famigeradas tags.

YouTube video by Alberto Nogueira Sujeito de Sorte - Belchior

The other, in Portuguese, by our genius Belchior. "Sujeito de Sorte" www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy5w... "Ano passado eu morri, mas esse ano eu não morro." Last year I died, but this year I won't.

When I am feeling down, I turn to two songs help me. They have basically the same ideas, from two separate timepoints, one in language, one in Portuguese. First, this banger by @themountaingoats.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7fB... "I am going to make it through this year if it kills me ..."

Found the full text aei.org/wp-content/u...

I only read the abstract, but the comparison there is between Instant Runoff (IRV) and *other forms* of ranked choice voting. (i.e. not first-past-the post)

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat.

They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues.

This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service.

Affect comes from affection, tenderness. That's what makes it so different from effect. Well, at least it does in Portuguese.

Entendo que é diferente. Tem algumas matérias obrigatórias para cursar medicina, que vc pode até fazer depois da graduação para qualidicar. Mais importante: concorda que não é um curso técnico com médicos de 21/22 anos, né? A proposta é baixar de 4 pra 3.

O problema de Lost era o tanto de mistério aleatório da série. Amarrar depois se revelou impossível. Pluribus padece menos desse mal. Severance, por outro lado ...

Defina "solteiras" ...

Entendo. Me pareceu uma oportunidade perdida, mas de fato há limitações na forma.

Mas aí o problema não é (só) a meta, né? É a indexação (inclusive do salário mínimo) e muito crédito direcionado.

Eu também achava que a meta poderia ser mais alta. Ao ver a raiva dos americanos com a inflação na eleição de 2024, mudei de opinião. Não só isso, a própria reeleição de Bolsonaro também foi dificultada pela inflação. Parece que a população *realmente* não gosta de inflação, mesmo baixa. O que acha?

I will consider. FT is great. But link is broken, and I thought the AI summary was funny.

I've found similar numerical errors/inconsistencies in 3 other peer-reviewed papers by subsets of these authors. (So far!)

So this is clearly not a one-off error caused by janky formatting or something. It's a systematic workflow problem.

Double-whammy: coupling that with changing from nuclear to fking coal.

Italian Affogato (Coffee with Ice Cream Dessert) How to make Affogato! Affogato is the perfect Italian dessert that combines hot espresso with creamy vanilla geleato or ice cream.

Don't think so. @karenho.bsky.social is not claiming to have invented it! www.savoringitaly.com/italian-affo...

Fun fact: it has been 56 days since I notified the editors of Neurology about glaring statistical errors in this peer-reviewed study on sweeteners and cognitive health.

No expression of concern, no correction, no retraction.
