When you are starting a new #datascience project but you have to use windows and aren't allowed docker. And it crashes (see windows) and you forget to switch back to your environment to install the rest of the packages and mess up #anaconda base:
(Alt text here otherwise it deletes gif- Elen Rippley from alien: I say we take off and nuke it from orbit... It's the only way to be sure)
Hello mastadon world! I'm dyedbird. Husband, father and a brother from Maryland. Transitioned to #datascience about 1.5 year ago from another career and have been enjoying it so far. Want to learn more about #linux , #python3, #ai
This was a fascinating, illuminating, and enraging conversation with Dr Richard Denniss, Executive Director of The Australia Institute, and Professor Margaret Hellard, Deputy Director of the Burnet Institute, about why we're not collecting covid data, and why it matters. This one is really important, so please listen, and share.
RD:"Why aren't we collecting the data? Because they don't want to admit failure. They don't want to make it easy for me to tell you what the cost to GDP of this heroic approach to covid has been."
Datasci.social is a server for researchers & practitioners in human-centric data science, broadly defined, like network science, computational social science, geospatial data science:
The paper with that figure got accepted by a journal requiring a CCBy4 license.
What's the license of figures that we produce by using that R package? The code of the package is released under GPL3, but not clear to me if that applies also to the figures produced by me with that package.
Standford Engineering released today a seminar about Transformers 🚀. The seminar - CS25, is run by Div Garg, Steven Feng, and Rylan Schaeffer and focuses on the following topics:
✅ How transformers work
✅ Types of transformers
✅ Applications of transformers in the fields of ML, NLP, CV, biology, etc.
We are 133 people now (68 active), with increased growth in the past few weeks. Our server hosts a community for #DataScience, broadly defined. See below our place in the universe of servers.
Just four weeks unti our Health Hackathon on 17-18 June! Our number of attendees signed up has more than doubled in the last week. And even more challenges are being added each week.
Thanks to NHS Grampian and University of Aberdeen for sponsoring the event and to Robert Gordon University for participating too. Also thanks to ONE Tech Hub for hosting us! See you there!
I published my first academic paper thirty years ago.
Overnight, a researcher contacted me to ask if I had the data for the main figure in the paper so that they could reproduce it.
Could I help? The data was from the time before Windows, 5.25-inch floppy discs, and graphs sent from a Unix environment directly to a printer for redrawing for publication by a cartographer.
You bet! In my archive, there was the original input data and code (Fortran77). And now shared.
Using the #kaggle CLI in my https://noteable.io notebook is super easy by adding 2 secret environment variables! This avoids the need to download to my computer and upload again 🙏
Do you use Continuous Integration in your #bioinformatics or #datascience projects or know of projects that do? If so, can you provide the link to the example? If not, why? Do you feel it would take too much time?
Die Slides, Notizen, Code und Vertiefungshinweise für meinen Vortrag "Legal Data Science: Der moderne Weg zur Wahrheit" bei der Digitalen Richterschaft sind jetzt online!
I helped my wife with some pre-course application last night (she's applying for a #DataScience bootcamp).
Later, she said it was nice to "see me use my brain". It wasn't an insult, all my previous jobs have been quite mindless, whereas her job is very challenging.
I then started reading my new book: The Computers That Made Britain from @Raspberry_Pi press. I got stuck on a word in the second paragraph 🤣🤣
How Academic Bullying Led This Data Scientist to Open Science.
In her insightful article, @pcmasuzzo shares how she was bullied into producing bad science, how she became fed up with academic culture and what she had to do to rediscover her love for science.
