We have adopted marimo notebook for doing modern data science. I’m happy with their progress. Nice to see greater integration.

Looks great, but the pricing model is a challenge for a small team. If there was a generous trial period (for testing) with a lower small team price I might be able to consider it,…

A global labour crisis and broken reputation signaling in FOSS has produced a deluge of software production that has basically nothing to do with low quality submissions and everyt…

Syntactical (grammatical) text is signal but maybe not the kind of meaningful signal we all wish it was. Meaning, of course, resides in the reader, in the practice of reading (Witt…

The rise of AI writing has only been matched by superficial articles comprised of ideas salad that evince no deep theoretical or historical understanding. Crappy writing has and al…

Clergy worried about digital Luther, police AI. Old story, told anew!

Imagine you are poor and a rich person offers you a choice to steal some bread or some beer. It’s not a real choice because you are poor and therefore steal. The rich person offeri…

It’s an unethical, false choice. The reviewers are not perfectly rational agents that do free work, they have real needs and desires. Shame on ICML for exploiting their desperation…

How is nobody considering the broader political economy of scholarly publications and reviews? These are UNPAID reviews! Sure, maybe ICML isn’t Elsevier, but they are cousins to th…

Has some similar conclusions to my Job Quality-Adjusted Displacement Index https://github.com/quinndupont/JQADI

I built my own MCP server to do some of this but I like the “enrichment” feature and NEO4J relationality.

I’m waiting for the agentic models trained on virus and worm datasets to join the red team!

Summary: good scientific theories have “reach,” which is not defined in any precise way. Reach has complexity and this can be handled with large parameter neural networks. Assumpti…
