I've previously been quite skeptical of AI hyperbole, but MCP looks quite serious. Recommend checking out Brian Julius's recent short videos. www.linkedin.com/posts/brianj...

Hey Tom! Thanks so much for the kind words! I definitely try strike a good balance between AI hype and doomerism :) Glad that came across.

Interesting to see Neale ahead of mcCluggage. Aggregating all player ratings scores up until the current round and McCluggage is about 20 ahead

Haha, understandable! Sometimes I think many just actually love debating one v the other.

I don't want to get involved in a debate where I mention the merits of one over the other, lest I contradict my own article :-) but I think its a GREAT career strategy to learn both tools to the best of your ability :-)

I am actually somewhat in the same boat - I'm far more interesting in things like data engineering and modelling - which, ironically, was what I trained in originally at university eons ago (information systems)!

Thanks! And I do recall being somewhat grumpy when I first used PowerBI - but I was the same when I first jumped into Tableau. But my own grumpiness comes from the constant bickering on which is better, which is what inspired this writing :)

Thank you so much for your kind words! As someone who is heavily in the Tableau ecosystem, it also has its quirks and annoyances - I guess there is just no 'perfect' BI tool out there at the moment! (and maybe there never will be!).

Ha, I probably should have sent it to you direct Josh, other than broadcast on BlueSky. Apologies! I got your gist though :) Great paper though.

Ahh yes, that’s a great point and makes total sense

I’m curious to know why you have negatives in the right. What inspired that design choice? Seems slightly odd to me. Not bad or anything, just a bit interesting.

The Argument is one of my top ten best ever records and consequently my favourite! But all the Fugazi records are awesome

Tagging @joshuablackjb.bsky.social just to let you know! Otherwise it’s a great report but I noted a few tiny charting errors I think!

I think you’re missing the units ($ millions) in the chart title like in other charts in the paper!

Not sure if that rusty, but we just published a bonus lesson on getting started with R that might be helpful!

Actually I’d probably support this. I actually think we should eliminate super altogether and just increase the age pension for everyone. Why do we pay to subsidise a tax break when we could just use that money for better age pension scheme?

Obvious solution then is to tax more _when it’s realised_ then, surely?

Somehow, I don’t think that’s the point he’s making. It’s the unrealised part that many might think is unfair, not the fact it’s $3m or that it impacts a small percentage of people. I’m personally fairly apathetic to the policy but can understand why some might consider it unfair.
