Hey, Mastodon! I’m Alec. I’m here in search of meaningful art and community, far from the place where everyone’s an ‘influencer’ and everything is monetized ‘content’ made to appease an algorithm.

I’m a fan of:

The Modern Data Platform Blueprint: What Actually Works (Databricks vs Snowflake Reality) https://craigbrownphd.substack.com/p/the-modern-data-platform-blueprint?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #DataScience #DataAnalytics

In the age of AI, reporting the past is no longer enough.
The real value lies in asking better questions, finding root causes, and turning data into decisions.

AI can automate execution.
But strategic thinking, business context, and decisive leadership will always set you apart.

Be more than an analyst. Be the decision-maker.

Every healthcare system collects data, but very few turn it into usable intelligence. The shift is not about dashboards. It is about decisions.

To distinguish between "normal" and anomalous surface temperatures in Calgary in 2025, I applied Tukey’s method. The statistical distribution shows a negative skewness (coefficient ≈−0.59).

This highlights a critical phenomenon: the vast majority of the urban area is densely clustered in the warmer temperature range. In contrast, cool refuges (the rivers, reservoir, and dense parks) are statistically scarce, forming a long "tail" on the left side of the plot. In essence, Calgary’s baseline is shifted toward higher temperatures, making Urban Cool Islands a rare and vital resource.

I would like to remind my readers and followers that I am currently preparing a comprehensive article based on these research results. In it, I will explore the ecological and geochemical implications of this thermal distribution. Stay tuned for further updates!

Most GenAI-driven productivity debates, I feel, quietly assume GenAI is just a coding tool. But for teams actually building AI-native features, the problem is quite different. Wrote about it in my blog, with a couple of visuals that I think make the argument clearer than words alone.

GenAI as a coding tool and GenAI as a product feature are not the same problem. Most productivity debates don't make this distinction. They should.
