Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Amazing for a few reasons 1. The tires on the planes didn’t confuse the drones, previously a great strategy 2. Look at how unguarded the airspace was. The propaganda drone seemed to fly unchallenged. 110
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Harvard is an ideal not its land or its buildings. Don’t corporations on occasion move their main campuses? There is already enrolled student inertia to consider but it isn’t crazy. 031
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 15/05/2025@ctvnews-rss.bsky.social thank you for this wonderful example of a FAILED data visualization. My students @uoft.bsky.social will learn a number of cautionary tales from it. 020
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 07/05/2025With NSF and NIH and maybe DOE (DoD??) freezing all grants and then canceling any that contain DEI language while also imposing a strict 15% IDC requirement - I think it is clear we are entering the next scientific Ice Age. 000

Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 06/04/2025JOSS is for professional level code releases. They peer review and their editors are DEDICATED. Great if you want community standard reproducible and extensible code - but it can take a year + to get the final thumbs up 010
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 06/04/2025JOSS can be a slog - worth it if you are making open source and community driven software. GitHub is ultra low lift 110
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 31/03/2025I near the point of normalizing leaving the U.S. because it no longer holds scientific primacy. www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7494704cbc.caYale professor moving to U of T due to 'far-right' Trump administration's pressure on universities 000
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 29/03/2025I find the most difficult part of building a task list is deciding on the level of granularity for each big task. 010
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 18/03/2025We are the flotsam of the boats who positioned themselves in front of the wave. 030
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Maybe I am becoming a true Canadian now. Whenever anyone asks me where I am from originally - my first instinct is to apologize before I tell them I am from the U.S. 010
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 05/03/2025My main problem with all of the pieces I am reading about the #fuckboy cuts to science is that they are fractured and focused on self-interest. We need to speak out in unison with one voice to stop the gutting of science in America. Else the public will tune us out. 000

Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 28/02/2025I am just so saddened to see the systematic dismantling of the America’s scientific future. My heart breaks to see so many young scientists not only fired but demeaned by a narcissist. Public service is a choice to serve public good instead of your own financial interests. 020
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Just got my first real shot across the bow showing me that I really need to LLM proof my exams. Who has been thinking about this? Any tips? 100
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Science as we know it in America is now dead. This is not to say that it is dead completely, but it is undergoing plastic surgery via sledge hammer and rotary saw. 110

Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Amazing in just a few short years the U.S. went from “Change you can believe in.” to “Believe me, there will be change!” 110
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 12/02/2025How about - please do not report the 16 models you tested against your dataset but focus instead on the model that worked and the scientific learnings? 010
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 12/02/2025How on earth was I not following @xkcd.com until now? My life quality is now quantitatively better. Unfortunately the character limit is insufficient to contain my full proof. QED 1350

Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 07/02/2025I don’t understand people who can sit and watch a talk but don’t have a million questions at the end of it. Like I have to constantly restrain myself from overwhelming people with questions. 020

Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Recently introduced my students to what happens to model feature importances when you either: (1) change the threshold for dropping correlated features, (2) change the random seed (3) make minor changes to the hyperparameters Their looks of absolute horror are really the reason that we do what we do 130
Jae Hattrick-Simpers @jae3goals.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Seems like the science has moved here? …Again? For reals this time? @aspuru.bsky.social @hojo90.bsky.social 230
