@markniemannross Hello there, came across this via @EdinbR
Am based in Glasgow. So curious to know if there's going to be a recording?
Hi and thanks for the talk last night. I had to exit early but found it all informative, clear and great first dive into a sense what you can do / how you can operate with R and data.
Also nice, as on a procedural and conceptual level it was all totally followable for someone with just some basics in python.
Hope to make it back for more after the summer!
@EdinbR As promised, you can get the slides and code from my talk here: https://github.com/mikerspencer/arrow_test
As an extra special treat, @nic_crane came along too 🤩
Large numbers of people don't understand what a billionaire is.
If you, like most of us, ONLY make $1 million a year, it would take you 1,000 years to make $1 billion.
Or, if REALLY lie most of us, you make $50,000 a year, it would take you 20,000 years.
TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS!
If you tax someone who makes a billion a year at a 90% top rate, they would "only" take home $100 million a year.

Sadly, the questions are asked only visually but Stephen's thoughts still tell enough.

@xangoh @emilymbender how does the car have agency here? In this analogy petrol is fuelling the car. Petrol is the agent acting on or through the car by its action / property of fuelling the car. It is the generative force that (in the absence of mentioning combustion) is both rhetorically and semantically doing the work.
Another way to think of it is horse or human or hydro powered.
Reading about #ChatGPT plug-ins and wondering why this is framed as plug-ins for #ChatGPT (giving it "capabilities") rather than #ChatGPT as a plug-in to provide a conversational front-end to other services.
Nevermind, I know why: This is #OpenAI yet again trying to sell their text synthesis machine as "an AI".
