rpast.bsky.social @rpast.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Mars Express is the most cyberpunk animation I've seen since Ghost in the Shell. I'm amazed by the attention to detail, the depth of the characters, and the supremacy of style above all else—not to mention the stunning animation. 010

Reposted by @rpast.bsky.socialVictor Geislinger @victorsvector.com · 05/12/2024Can't speak to this instance, but it's frequent enough that when working with time series data, I reindex w/ expected frequency. Ex: ``` full_range = pd.date_range(df['day'].min(), df['day'].max(), freq='D') df = df.set_index('day').reindex(full_range).reset_index() ``` Then search for nulls 131

Reposted by @rpast.bsky.socialPhilip Goff @philipgoff.bsky.social · 26/11/2024You're misunderstanding the space of probability at play in Bayesian reasoning. It's epistemic not objective. If I'm on gameshow & prize is behind one of three doors, I assign a probability of 1 in 3 that it's behind door A, even though the prize is objectively speaking 100% behind a single door. 6131

Reposted by @rpast.bsky.socialTed Underwood @tedunderwood.com · 27/11/2024The myth of scale, in particular, has sunk in deeply: many people now believe that more data is always better as long as it's authentic and human — never mind how inane! Honestly, I think this misunderstanding survives largely because people are flattered by the idea their every word has value 1191

rpast.bsky.social @rpast.bsky.social · 28/11/2024this is interesting. an open-source engineer uses a public API to collect 1m bsky posts and shares them via HF. the retaliation from the community is huge, with many people claiming a GDPR violation. i wonder if anybody from privacy law bluesky has an opinion on what happened. #privacy #law #gdpr 000

Is this dataset meant for training generative AI? 🤷♀️ but more likely for research and statistical analysis. 3. Is it ok to duplicate and distribute people’s data without agency to opt out? I’d argue no. 2397

This isn’t merely a pedantic semantic gripe; by misrepresenting ‘data’ as something that exists in nature & has only to be scooped up, evasion of accountability for data harms has already begun Data doesn’t exist until someone constructs it 18538141
