Haven't yet listened to this in full but it'll be worth a listen pca.st/episode/9908...

all Isak’s goals & attempts in 2024 🤴🏿

Happy New Year 2025 🎉🎉🎉

This team! 😍

HOWAY THE LADS! 👊

Again, I must recommend everyone wondering how this will go, read "Character Limit" by @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social. The near total lack of intellectual curiosity about how things work combined with the absolute confidence that he understands stuff he does not, is a dangerous combo.

The next official JWST release will be of a high resolution image of The Firefly Sparkle galaxy: the earliest stages of the assembly of a Milky Way-type galaxy in a 600 Myr old universe. 🔭 🧪

What a hit! 🤩

Flexibility is often simplified to mean 'can play multiple positions' but it can also mean that they can play different iterations of the same role. Anthony Gordon's one of those who can be whatever kind of winger you need that day: in-behind, playmaker, goal-hound, dribbler, etc. Very useful.

Pleased to be contributing to the launch of @footballrankings.bsky.social's blog. We've got some interesting stuff lined up, but first we've tackled the ever-burning question of the top 10 men's leagues in the world: globalfootballrankings.com/blog/ranked-...

This starter pack is now full btw, I will make edits from time to time as I want it to be as useful of a Twitter > Bluesky migration tool as possible. #NUFC go.bsky.app/JwCipSw

#NUFC Season Progress after MD11 Newcastle are still on course to European Qualifications this season (even though we’re on the lower bound, ie likely toward the Conference League) 2 wins for the next 2 matches will put us in the perfect place for UCL region before going to the tough December!

i don't think im smart enough to install kubernetes :(

duckdb-gsheets v0.0.3 is out, courtesy of @a13x.bsky.social the power is terrifying! duckdb-gsheets.com

Foursquare just open sourced their 100 million place point of interest dataset! Some notes on poking around with it using DuckDB (it's Parquet files on S3) simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/20/...

alright, getting somewhere

New post! Materialized View turned one last week. 🎂 To celebrate, I wrote about what’s good and bad about DuckDB.

The fact that DuckDB isn't a data warehouse...is the whole point of DuckDB! Once you pull your head out of the snow or the bricks or wherever you spend most of your data engineering time, you will discover that there are data pipeline problems *everywhere* that benefit from data modeling and SQL!

These cards mean so fucking much to me. Many years ago I had just left my startup and was really not in a great place. And one day I just started tweeting out flashcards of whatever I was thinking about in machine learning.

I'm not gonna line but I feel imposter syndrome a bit around here. The data community (i.e., #datatwitter aka #dataBS) is so freaking cool. The amount of knowledge and insights they share is tremendous! And love all of it. Which brings me to the question of "how do I contribute to the community?"

Suggestion: We start tagging data posts #dataBS because "data bluesky" is annoying to type and "data twitter" needs to be put to rest

Us on LinkedIn vs us on Bluesky

Maybe the real data contracts were the friends we made along the way.

“I’m building a team” but it’s #datatwitter on 🦋

My fav starter packs so far, a thread: stats: go.bsky.app/Ki7PjpS stats: go.bsky.app/7TBN5rX causal inference: go.bsky.app/FdemGAZ package devs: go.bsky.app/N1569Qh data peeps: go.bsky.app/8TdEfdK medical stats: go.bsky.app/ArqEz36 bioinformatics: go.bsky.app/Ha64Gmv r-ladies: go.bsky.app/Vgxwa2F

This is the *masonic lodge* in the centre of Belfast - I have absolutely no idea what is going on here - I can only assume they’ve finally managed to summon Cthulu

repost this for future use. hope I don’t need to.

Partly inspired to try Bluesky again by this @garbageday.bsky.social post: "Bluesky has around six million MAUs. Threads has 150 million gas leak victims. X has 250 million. TikTok has over a billion...What is very apparent is that nostalgia will not fix this." www.garbageday.email/p/nostalgia-...

Newcastle are still in very good path to the European qualification this season despite of the draw to Everton in the weekend. Tough fixture ahead in Oct. 4 pts out of 9 will be a good result for us

Thomas Frank said xG value to the 4th decimal is impressive.

If you hate statistics like I do, then you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, 20 lectures from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. 🧪 #stats www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #208,340!

Fulham midfielders are so so swift and technical. next week will be tough for #NUFC

the way Newcastle play so far this season is “by design” rather than “by default”, ie. out of idea. They seem to be direct and attack in a specific ways. makes sense given 4 of top 5 of their ball progressers from previous seasons are unavailable.

TIL - nicely organised bar charts works far better than fancy charts when come to business.
