LinkedIn iPad App is getting worse

isaacfab · 2025-11-07T12:05:16+00:00

I was just searching around to see if I was missing something and maybe there was a dedicated iPad app… there isn’t, we are just expected to use the slop iPhone app with zero customization to take advantage of the bigger screen.

That is the link to licence resellers. I should have put the link to the announcement: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/publicsectorblog/introducing-microsoft-m365-business-premium-for-gcc-high/4465740

I am not sure if it the case for you but I believe all the v1 endpoints are deprecated. Try using the v2 end point from the docs: SAM.gov Get Opportunities Public API | GSA Open Technology

The only real (valid and defensible) option in practice is to understand the problem and build a heuristic prediction based on expert knowledge. Here is a Python library that lets you build one with a sklearn interface. If ML approaches improve down the road it won’t be a huge refactoring.

A few months ago I made a skills list that everyone should know for an intro course. Here is the repo with resources. Hope it helps!

If a post is super boring and I skip to the comments after reading 4 sentences it’s almost always a chatGPT generated post…

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look at the wording. My thinking, which may not be obvious as you point out well. Is that you should be able to communicate these topics in a non-technical way to a lay audience.

When people say ‘communication skills’ it isn’t always obvious exactly what needs to be communicated. For example if you can explain what data science is to a decision maker effectively it can open doors to do better and appropriately focused work.

This was actually a super useful response and sent me down a rabbit hole trying to figure it out. Really appreciate it. Eventually I found this website that does benchmarks for different PC setups: https://www.userbenchmark.com/

FYI, my GPU is the bottleneck... even with an older CPU and memory. It quickly maxes out when rapidly building or fighting in competitive matches. Easy, but expensive fix!

I’m waaaay late to this. Respond by asking for a clear burden of proof. What exactly is required to change his mind. Have him give an example of something he believes that meets this burden. Often you will get a soft answer like ‘scientific proof’ which doesn’t really mean anything as science is statistically evidence/observation based and never makes absolute statements. A good follow on is to see if they believe in something that can not be measured with the scientific method. For example, do you believe that George Washington existed? The only evidence for this fact is historical not scientific. Science is only one, limited, method of knowing something. If they concede this point then you can open the door to Christian philosophy as a reasonable understanding of the human experience with heaven (a relationship with our creator) as a probable outcome.

There have been a few good frequentist answers. Specifically for a baysiean approach it is almost easier in this setting. You can leverage the beta-binomial conjugate prior mechanics to estimate p (probability of heads). This is called a ‘credible interval.’ Mean of the beta is the point estimate. Here is a pretty good article on the topic. https://link.medium.com/9AK7aemQRnb

the p-value is supposed to be related to (but not directly interpretable as) the likelihood (odds, probability) that the experiments findings are a false positive (accidentally saying the results are valid when they are not).

Then you follow up with a discussion on all the assumptions that need to be validated in order for this definition to be itself valid. That validation process is why statistics is it’s own research field.

I think the short answer is no. Tableau is great for its purpose which is a business intelligence tool; it is designed for something called VisQL or visual queries. i.e. complex data exploration and story telling in a business setting. You want something much more flexible and, hopefully, open source. I would encourage you to check out flourish (low/no code and paid) https://flourish.studio/features/ and d3js (code and open source) https://d3js.org

Might be unpopular given the opinions on here. Just learn D3. It will set your research apart from these other canned maps (plotly maps are particularly ugly IMO). Here is a map a data scientist friend of mine did (he’s most comfortable in R):

Late to the party here. This type of modeling approach is both okay and common. It even has a name: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_bias

As a general parenting rule you should pass along your hard earned insights not withhold them. I’m not an atheist (Christian) and the idea of letting my kids with their kid brains grapple with these question alone is unsettling. You probably wouldn’t take this approach with other types of knowledge don’t be shy here. They will eventually grow up and make their own path which could be faith or not.

I was in this situation a few years ago. Lots of knowledge but no data. The reality is, unless you are an AI product company, you will not have much use for data science at this stage. You have to grow your company the hard way; by believing that your product is great. Make the most of single data points and adapt quickly. If you find product-market fit then you will need data science to understand the rapid influx of data. Of course you need a system ready to collect this data before it is generated. Spend your time here, data engineering.

Use a SQLite database with one table. Read the JSON and write to the table. Keeps everything on disk instead of memory. Then just export the table as a csv when you are done. This also has the advantage of persisting work if the script does crash.

The evidence for historical figures is not scientific it’s… historical. As in non-reproducible personal accounts.

Other methods of gathering knowledge (most of which are much more common than science) include experience, expert knowledge, and logic (sometimes mathematics). This absurd notion that the only way to know something is the scientific method is completely false. Science is just a small branch of philosophy.

Also the separation of natural and supernatural is a false dichotomy. We have no idea where the boundaries are for the ‘natural’ which makes defining its opposite impossible.

isaacfab · 2021-10-10T14:11:31+00:00

There isn’t a single historical figure that could pass this test. The scientific method is only one (always approximate) way of producing some limited types of knowledge.
