Nice linguistics perspective on data and ML/AI. "For those who view models solely as instruments of prediction, rather than as models of something, then data is only potential inputs to models. "

I just finished reading a current New York Times bestseller: "Careless People" Though non-fiction, it is riveting and fun to read like a novel. Highly recommended!! The Tell-All Book That Meta Doesn’t Want You to Read www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/o...

This is unfathomable. NSDUH is a critical piece of our national scientific infrastructure. So the adminstration is basically saying that it could care less about understanding substance use in this country? Really?

Dieser Text! Zur Rolle der 3 Milliardär-#TechBros ggü Trump, ein historischer NYT Ausschnitt zum " #HitlerFund", in den dt. Industrielle "freiwillig" für Einladungen einzahlten. Und von #Elon gibts gaga Äusserungen zur Schuld von schwarzen u lesbischen Feuerwehrfrauen am L.A. Feuer 🙈 Es ist irre.

Screenshot Musk has posted or replied to more than 80 posts about the Los Angeles fires, many of which downplayed the role of climate change — placing blame instead on individual female firefighters of color and lesbian firefighters, including posting their names and faces.
He boosted an hour-long propaganda video by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that claimed the fires were "part of a larger globalist plot" to cause the collapse of the United States;
Musk replied simply, "True."

Disturbing prediction from @pkrugman.bsky.social: If Trump's deportations really happen, inflation will spike, then MAGA loyalists will corrupt government info to mask it. For autocrats, he says, "among their first targets are statistical agencies." Our exchange: newrepublic.com/article/1883...

Embeddings. What they are built on, which engineering problems they solve, and how they are used by the tech companies. Highly interesting in its own, but for me the MLOps mindset the author brings to the table is the best part of it. vickiboykis.com/what_are_emb...
