  1. @ataustin Don't think that's necessary. She will most probably use some nicely written code to analyze the data later 😉

  2. putting my corporate windows machine over the A/C vent so the fan turns off before I put the computer to sleep 🤡

  3. Psssst. That missing piece of your data science workflow? Posit Connect probably does it.

  4. Just got access to the new AI photo editor from Google. It stylized a photo of liquor bottles into some kind of abstract landscape painting. It's so stupid and charming at the same time??

  5. Google Podcasts is going away (because of course it is) and apparently I'm putting off the migration until the last minute 🙈

    Can you share your fave podcasting app for Android? I don't need fancy, but I would prize a nice lock screen UI and easy queue management.

  6. It's been one of those days in Statsland, folks

  7. I'm extremely proficient in R. I can analyze data in my sleep in the tidyverse.

    But I'm a total n00b in Python. When I try to write some simple data transformations, I find that even my reasoning about data in general gets muddier, as if the language barrier translates to a larger block in my logic.

    Is there a name for this phenomenon? How do you make this easier without resorting to writing in R and then translating?

  8. I lead data scientists in the insurance industry and one thing we struggle with (myself included!) is learning, and having at the ready, relevant actuarial jargon and definitions.

    Do you have a resource such as a cheat sheet for folks like me to help grasp and reference the many concepts in the field? I'd be grateful for anything you can share! 🙏

  9. FREE at Austin’s AFS Cinema: the seventh annual Femme Frontera Filmmaker Showcase on Wednesday, September 27. Featuring short films by women and non-binary filmmakers from the US-Mexico border regions of El Paso, TX; Las Cruces, NM; and Cd. Juárez, Chihuahua, México.

  11. University of Texas at Austin: Technology Use Linked to Better Brain Health in Older Adults. “Technology use among older adults appears to benefit cognitive health rather than harm it, according to a large-scale meta-analysis published in Nature Human Behaviour. The study, which examined data from more than 411,000 adults ages 50 and older, reveals that engaging with digital devices may […]

  20. #ACM named #Robert #Metcalfe recipient of the 2022 ACM A.M. #Turing #Award for leading the invention, standardization, and commercialization of #Ethernet local-area networking technology.

    Metcalfe is Emeritus Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at The University of Texas at Austin.

    In 1973, while a Research Scientist at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center ( #PARC ), Metcalfe circulated a now-famous memo on May 22, 1973 describing a "broadcast communication network" for connecting some of the first personal computers, #Altos, within a single building.

    The first Ethernet ran at 2.94 megabit per second, which was ~10,000 times faster than the terminal networks it replaced starting in 1973.

    Although the original design proposed implementing this network over #coaxial #cable, the memo envisioned "communication over an #ether" making the design adaptable to any future innovation in media technology including legacy telephone twisted pair, optical fiber, radio, and even power networks, to replace the coaxial cable as the "ether". That memo laid the groundwork for what we now know today as Ethernet.

    The Ethernet architecture was developed to address Xerox's need to connect 100 of the new Alto personal computers and their new laser printers. The original architecture was based on a single wire bus with a single transceiver per node, thus enabling a cost-effective design.

    The media access control in the Ethernet design incorporated Metcalfe's insights from his experience with Norm Abramson's RIP #ALOHAnet.

    Metcalfe recruited David Boggs RIP to help build a 100-node Ethernet in two years. That first Ethernet was then replicated within Xerox to proliferate a corporate internet.

    Metcalfe and Boggs' classic 1976 CACM article, "Ethernet: Distributed Packet Switching for Local Computer Networks," described the design of Ethernet. Metcalfe then led a team that developed the 10Mbps Ethernet, deployed internally at Xerox and forming the basis of subsequent standards.

  22. By the end of January, the wildfires that engulfed Los Angeles had been contained. But that isn't the end of the story. The air, soil, drinking water and every surface has now been contaminated with particulate matter, chemicals, PFAs, asbestos and more. Now, teams from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, the University of California, Davis and the University of Texas at Austin are collaborating to study toxic harms in the burn zone. Initially, they've been sharing their findings in real time so residents can take action such as wearing masks. They've also committed to a 10-year study. @InsideClimate spoke to some of the researchers working on the ground about their work and what they're finding.
