Musk, OpenAI, Javier Milei and what have you again reminds me when I saw this Barsotti cartoon in New Yorker magazine after 9/11, and I felt like it was speaking to me and described the zeitgeist perfectly. Little did we know...

Bork and borkdude. I can't be the only one who noticed the utterly significant detail that @b0rk 's Strange Loop presentation is a great description of a problem that @borkdude presents a solution to in his presentation. They must have planned this decades ago. 🙂 #StrageLoop #clojure #bash #babashka

@javahippie ...and dtypenext and/or fastmath for more efficient and advanced math/stats/ml stuff depending on your needs.

@javahippie Not knowing the details of your project, but I'd personally go with clojure/script, clerk (at least for exploration), vega-lite or plotly for viz and tablecloth (= pandas/dplyr) for wrangling. Used to do this kind of thing in R, but clojure works pretty nicely now for data science.

Little did we grasp, however, that even within this seemingly fractured landscape, we were still in that old universe with this shared discourse—a mere precursor to the inevitable journey into the fragmented realm of personal languages and individual narratives, where common ground would become an elusive relic of the past. 2/2

In the wake of the social media high, it didn't take long for folks to realize that the once-unified realm of watercooler conversations from the broadcast era had splintered into tiny bubbles and fleeting banal memes. 1/2
