Besides being a fucking ugly graph where you can barely read the node labels, I also like that this one pretty much admits democrats are clustered along the other reactionaries.
They also don’t describe how they even got that clustering (or the network itself) in the first place. I think it’s safe to assume they either nicked it from the web or got an inexperienced intern to just do whatever with a Jupyter notebook.
Is it a network of “common posters”? Of links in sidebar? In cross-posts?
Data science is what happens when “programmers think they are experts in everything that deals with computers” is taken to its most extreme. This field needs a purge, for the sake of all actual statisticians.
Science is when you never show your methodology, because it came to you in a dream a linear regression.
Echo chamber? Maybe. Toxic? No, not at all. It’s actually very freeing to be able to discuss ML stuff more deeply instead of having the umpteenth lib/ultra/trot coming in trying to debate TANKIE MAN SQUARE ONE BILLION DEATH.
This community has been nothing but supporting to me.
Yeah aside from the biweekly struggle session it’s (one of) the chillest online community I ever witnessed. Especially since we federated with the hexagons.
It’s actually kind of too calm for me here since most lib instances defederated from us. Having them chime in also allowed me to keep up with what they believe in currently.
This is Digital Humanities when full digital and no humanities. Seems like a bunch of tech bros who like to do data-crunching without properly familiarizing themselves with the subject first.
