I forgot my keys and got locked out of my house, so I decided it was about time I learned how to get in without them.
Good news, everyone, google has come up with a new chat system.
Hey, #RStats nerds and other nerds too. I'm trying to come up with a functional from for this curve. Something parametric that I can then think about symbolically and , not just a statistical fit. I can't find anything simple enough that fits the core properties: asymptote to zero to the left, minimum around -4, sharp increase towards zero around 0.

This is a neat illustration of how our eyes+brain use green for sharpness information and the rest is just the suggestion of colour, especially blue.
First, original image.
Second, heavy gaussian blur applied only to the green channel. A blurry mess.
Third, same blur applied only to the red channel. A lot of color bleed, but the image is still pretty sharp.
Fourth, applied to the blue channel. Almost identical to the original. Nothing was lost.

Is this a thing? Are people mining crypto on 5 year old phones?

It took me a while to understand this #XKCD comic until I realised that Randall lives in he northern hemisphere where this actually makes sense.

Reviewing the materias for reproducibility.rocks and this sentence caught me by surprise. Clearly past me didn't have a good relationship with LaTex. TBF, neither does present me xD

New version of RStudio adds these lines to your ignore files. Automatically. Each time you open the project. Even when you don't have any of those tools installed.

I think the time to jump ship is approaching. This shit has gone way too far.

EDIT: This bug is being fixed in the next release

Yearly gini coefficients of my music taste. Inequality in this context is good; it means more artists. It seems my listening habits have been a bit narrower since 2024, although this year is still not done, so there's time.

Edit: Wait, I'm an idiot. It's the other way around. Higher Gini means most scribbles go to the same artist. So the recent trend is good!

This pitiful thing is jupyter's "save as" dialogue. You need to write the route directly. No UI to navigate, no autocomplete paths. "home" doesn't even truly exist; I assume is some lousy shortcut for $HOME or something. It's utterly unusable.

The fact that this awful thing managed to become so popular never ceases to baffle me.
