thread conclusion: the /meaning/ (actionable interpretation) of this data cannot be trivially determined from the /representation/ (chart in this case) of the data unless you already knew the /purpose/ (reason for sampling) of the data. i give it a UIX score of 2.5/10

the internet loves a contextless chart one of the main indicators of El Niño and the severe weather that comes from it is the change in ocean currents and the warming if this patch of the Pacific. the warmer this area gets, the more severe the event this cycle is the strongest on record (so far)

my being studied in the art of Get The User Learned Real Quick is probably making me especially critical lmao

010

the /chart/ does not convey that the erratic variation in samples is in fact a feature of the data

100

yeah like i'm not arguing with the data or the reasoning at all, i'm just a stickler for data representation (especially in "never seen or heard of this before" situations) and this is... not doing a good job of explaining itself

200

tbf, i highlighted them because (not knowing what this data was chosen for) i felt like the presentation of this graph did an extremely poor job of separating weather from climate

i don't doubt this region was chosen For A Reason but i'm also so so curious to see what the graph of the data just slightly north of that region would look like in comparison

200

i feel like this data would be better presented as box plots with flow vector overlays

100

oh huh, it looks like there's some decent variation on flow(?) in that area?

from a programming/math perspective or an english perspective?

huh so apparently the issue with crunchyroll causing my computer to hard crash may have actually been a motherboard fault. that's uh. that's interesting

i am confidently declaring that it is the best worst camera of all time thanks ❤️

they can't keep getting away with this

if you have the Eye For Good and the Taste For Bad, and remember that it loses all the settings every time it power cycles, you can get some frustratingly competent SOOCs out of this fucker

hello audio nerds, what's the cheapest XLR mic you can get that'll handle close to 160dB SPL?

what only having PD on the front panel USB and not on any of the rear USBs does to a person

unfortunately not as good as monsterball

bsky doesn't like mixed media posts apparently

what adhd and a cast iron liver does to a person

the compression seems to be smothering chroma noise but not luma noise?

000

the way the noise actually causes dithering because?? it doesn't need to demosaic??

the way the JPG compression smooths out the sensor's dogshit noise performance at even 100 ISO? the ridiculously tiny resolution? the fact the colours are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING STUNNING??

100

ya know what actually i think i like the SOOC JPG better. also extremely mad about how okay it is. there's something uncanny about a shitty point and shoot punching WELL ABOVE its weight
