Mal zum Vergleich: Die AfD hat in den vergangenen Jahren drei sogenannte „Großdemos“ gemacht. Teilnehmer: 8.000 bis 10.000. Dafür wurde monatelang mobilisiert. Jetzt versammeln sich spontan (!) Hundertausende im Land gegen die AfD. Das ist laut AfD jetzt eine „kleine Minderheit“

Practical things to know:
HOW TO TELL IF SHOES ARE WELL-MADE One of these shoes costs $150. The other costs $1,285. Can you tell which is which? 🧵

Don't forget deployment wear down. Every prediction needs to trigger a reaction. In reality that extra 1% often doesn't matter and even a bad model can be better than no model at all.
Replying to @svpino
7. Training time and cost Would you choose a 98%-accurate model that costs $100,000 to train or a 97%-accurate model that costs $10,000? Well, it depends on your problem, but I hope you see there are diminishing returns.

Interesting take on ChatGPT for coding. Focus on the complex tasks, automate tho boring stuff.
I've been experiencing a completely unexpected side benefit of ChatGPT: intense focus. I hoped it might save me time or money but it's been saving me something even more valuable, my attention.

Welcome to Al-Mutanabbi Street the ‘Book Market of Baghdad’, where books remain in the street at night because Iraqis say: “The reader does not steal and the thief does not read.” A thread on the rich heritage of the historic book market on Al-Mutanabbi Street…

1. Quick thread on the value of Twitter. I see a lot of you dunking on Twitter as a “hellsite” and some of that is true, but I also think people are mixing up a bunch of different roles that Twitter plays in society.
Think of people around the world tonight who need Twitter to get their voices heard, to document human rights abuses and injustices, to get attention, expose war crimes, and more. All of them could be about to be cut off because the world’s richest man wanted to own the libs.

Around two-thirds of all Dutch children walk or cycle to school, preventing an estimated one million car trips across the country each morning. That’s less strain on their streets, their wallets, and their lives; simply by enabling safe and active travel. Video by @BicycleDutch.

The Tukey Test operator is a simple, yet efficient, parameter free way for #OutlierDetection in a data set. It uses the interquartile range to find deviating points and anomalies. docs.rapidminer.com/latest/s…

Combining data sets that are similar, but are not a 100% match can be annoying. The Append (Superset) operator helps here, by not only appending rows, but by also adding non-matching columns to the output. docs.rapidminer.com/latest/s… (6/n)
