Ooh, I decided to get a curiouscat.

Feel free to ask/tell me stuff! :)

I should mention I'm actually off work today, I don't get quite this much freedom to dick about at work. :')

Huh. I've honestly been using caret quite a lot in ML because I'm pretty lazy when it comes to using someone's algorithm, and I really like adaptive resampling.

and like I'm looking at the xgboost documentation and it's like I was just failing myself the last few months. THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF

It also has nulls, ick :(

It feels like scala doesn't really have types when all types implicitly coerce to everything else.
I thought we only allowed this behaviour in silly languages like JavaScript and R?

People like ten years ago

"Having more computational power is only a good thing, imagine what ordinary people could learn, could discover?!"

>People use it to solve fixed difficulty maths problems that create nothing of worth

I have legitimate hopes/amusement that my satire toots about this being referred to city councils will end up accurate.

Also fuck Lincoln. I could've picked any city to theoretically still want to exit and I feel sure it'd be that one.

"Huge ramifications for London if Theresa May has conceded that it's possible for part of the UK to remain within the single market & customs union after Brexit."

-2 Months Later-

"We have made a deal to leave Europe. All constituencies except Lincoln and Gainsborough will remain in the single market, but legally and officially we have not backed down. We are our own country. Also, for ease of transition we are going to maintain EU law in all single market constituencies "

Also I absolutely love this kind of tech. I wonder how easy it would be to code something similar and infer anything about the objects between me and the transmitters.

Or even just visualise WiFi using the same idea

It's kinda scary that there's this ring of satellites nearby, and fucking mass of towers so close. Like other directions are quiet, and then this.. https://witches.town/media/MZ9PahdGfg7ldkgN_H8

... I should go to sleep and stop trash posting :')

Tired: R is a useful statistical language
Wired: R is a bunch of wrappers to C and Fortran

Honestly I think a lot of DBT should be rewritten. It's good in theory but a lot of it doesn't let you protect yourself enough.

Being attentive to others is great, until it means you can't speak in meetings.
Opposite Action is helpful, but sometimes you do need to react negatively to show you're hurt.

DBT should let you use your weapons more effectively, so you always feel safe enough to let people closer. It shouldn't be putting all your weapons down.

I get super irritable about having to do the weakness thing to be listened to, so any diplomatic phrasing is perfect, because it fits with my DBT "Be Gentle" /GIVE, but doesn't make me feel scared/vulnerable.

I read the guardian article today about using "willing" more than "Can you" and I actually really like it

"Are you willing to move our meeting?" is so much more diplomatic than "Can you move our meeting?" but it does so in a way that isn't apologetic like "Would you mind" or "Can we *just* meet on".

Tired: pandas
Wired: calling data.table in python through compiled R
