@beecycles @BostonDotCom Commodification of people’s bodies generates clicks, wish this wasn’t true

This is horseshit. Young female athletes focused on how well their bodies work instead of how they look is exactly what we need MORE of, not less.

TIPS: Try to avoid making assumption about internet access when writing #rstats code. Some R envs don't have internet. If internet is needed, give informative errors & gather internet calls early in code. Getting download errors hours/days into processing is no fun.

It's been a rare privilege to have Ruby, Python, MATLAB, and R developers all working symbiotically together on a project of interest (i.e. @ApacheArrow) but I hope we see a lot more of this going forward

Anyone know why @anacondainc is shipping 10-month old pyarrow 0.11.1 in the Anaconda defaults channel?

How weird that this should be a somewhat novel thing to say.

I don’t expect people to agree with me on everything- that would be odd. My main hope is that people trust that I’m trying to solve problems and I’m open to different approaches - particularly if the data drives in a particular direction. Changing one’s mind is not a bad thing.

@ConnConnection @Harvard_Law ‘Danger to self and others’ has led to many traumatic experiences for me

In case I haven’t made it clear. I am a person who lives in recovery from a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. I am a person who has been locked up involuntarily through a process called “civil commitment.” That happened in the fall of my first 1L year at @Harvard_Law (thread)

@DrJWolfson Not really innovative, but I’ve been pushing for a conversation here as to whether we are at the point where computational skills should be as important or more important than theoretical skills when assessing candidates and programs

I am pretty critical of deep learning in general. Simultaneously, I invest tons of work into deep learning. I don't intend to dwell on its limitations and leave it at that. I want to overcome them.
I *am* a deep learning fan.

I've been reading a lot of old AI papers lately -- ranging from 1950 to 2010. It's interesting how contemporary a lot of these still feel to this day. The fundamental questions are still the same, and we still don't have any solid answers.

Ummmm what are shrimp crackers? Who has been hiding these from me. If shrimp has been made into a snack I’m done for

Hard to believe that a week ago I was just sitting at my desk in my underwear eating shrimp crackers and now... okay well I'm still doing that but I'm also a superhero
