Naïve Bayesian

@mitsuhiko So, we can start considering Python 4, yes? 👀

Inspired by some posts recently I have GPT 5.6 port one of my 15 year old Python projects to modern Python and libs. It's pre 3.x and the agent doesn't even use libmodernize. Whatever lesson we learned going from 2.x to 3.x might no longer apply.

@owenthcarey When has it been not fun?

How can we make computer science fun again?

@Samuel_Gregson @FlintDibble @ArthurCDent Neil was on Bill Maher sometime back and was quite sensible. Has been so on recent interviews about his book on hypothetical aliens. (For reference: Maher is drinking all the koolaid on UAPs.)

What is the ever loving fuck is this? @FlintDibble H/t @ArthurCDent

@Kaju_Nut And you’re posting about that here…?

Feels refreshing to be away from pseudoscience.

@prajdabre You’re joking, surely?

TIL that Claude is named after Claude Shannon!

@LongFormMath Or they're just bad at using AI. 🤷‍♂️

Students like this warm my heart. It’s effortless to be dishonest, and yet they make an honest effort anyways!

@ttaylorr_b @charliermarsh rewriting git in Rust.

@kunalashah @TheVijayMallya In contrast, consider an F1 account tweeting, "this contract isn't going to last the entire term" and nothing more -- that would be a vaguepost.

@kunalashah @TheVijayMallya Nope. With due respect, I don't think you understand the concept of a vaguepost. At best, it would be considered a piece of news, a straightforward statment -- maybe misinformation or disinformation, if it wasn't obvious that it was meant as a joke.

@kunalashah @TheVijayMallya That's not a vaguepost.

@curiouswavefn I think that's placeholder for slop produced quickly without much thought. If it's something worthy of further attention, it should show up, AI or not.

@F1FantasyPro_ This was my T3 until a couple of races ago. Hilariously, it fared no better than my T1, which was 2A+4B for the most part, and is now slightly ahead at 122.5.

Our T3, built purely to maximise budget growth is already sitting at $127.5m available to spend. This is the kind of lineup we can afford right now. I wonder how high we can push that number before Abu Dhabi… 👀 Has anyone else created a budget-boosting team? #F1Fantasy

@walden @racepluscom @thomasmaheronf1 Again, this kind of politicking by the No. 1 driver isn't particularly new to F1.

Max has been a crybaby diva all season long. And he and his family try to control the team. And they do not allow the second driver on the team to challenge Max. Contrast with how Lewis handled having the very bad Mercedes car during the ground effects era. Maintained composure, kept working with the team, and when he left the team was in great shape.

🚨 | BREAKING! Multiple paddock sources claim McLaren and Max Verstappen are in the final stages of negotiations over a potential move from Red Bull, despite Zak Brown denying the rumours. 📰 @thomasmaheronf1

@jepaco Have already bookmarked it. :) And reading up on Russell as well; I wasn't familiar with his work.

@naivebayesian Music in the scene also comes from the 2nd and 4th (at least) The movie is available on YT

The scene from Ken Russell's "Mahler" that turned me on to Mahler when I was 20. Alma silences the countryside so Gustav can compose, and it all turns up in the music

@jepaco Thanks, it's on my to-watch list now. I just found Alma silencing everyone somewhat comical.:) Not to mention that the First was composed long before he met her.

@naivebayesian No; it’s a scene from a movie by Ken Russell about Gustav Mahler. It isn’t satire, but it’s surreal in places.

@walden @racepluscom @thomasmaheronf1 No, the disintegration began with the death of Mateschitz. And there's a long history of drivers making things go their way at all costs.

Max is a brilliant driver but also seems to be a toxic force on any team. Look at what’s happened to RB. He’s too controlling. He tries to be more than a driver. And he wouldn’t allow Lando to really be competitive. RB has basically been a one man team for years due to Max. Approach Max with caution.

@evrythngformu1a Fernando, a short view back to the past: Twelve years ago, Walter Koster told us…

Fernando Alonso doesn’t hold back on modern Formula 1. 😬 “In this F1, there’s neither talent, nor speed, nor risk-taking. You just press a button and overtake if you have more power than the car in front.” A brutal criticism of the current regulations. #F1 | #BritishGP

@F1FantasyEuan I had him from Japan until Austria.

At the British GP, Franco Colapinto set a new career-high with 27 F1 Fantasy points. The Argentinian driver is also tied with Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli for the most max price rises (7) this year, and has gained $4.2m in price to lead the grid. The Alpine driver is only in 12.6% of the Global Top 500, and remains a differential (for now) heading into the Belgian GP. Are you bringing Franco Colapinto into your F1 Fantasy team???

@F_FantasyHub Stop it.

DNFs in #F1Fantasy will be reduced to -10 in 2027
