Large white text reading “DATA CRAFT CIRCLE” appears on overlapping purple, teal, and navy blue blocks against a light gray background. Purple wavy lines decorate both sides, with the Data Visualization Society logo at the top. Below the date, text invites participants to explore creative data encoding through beading, collage, embroidery, or trying something new.

Makes some of the most gorgeous math art!
Simone Conradi@S_ConradiOct 14
I’ve never been able to draw, until I learned to turn math ideas into code and explore visualizing things. More than 20 years ago I started with @WolframResearch Mathematica, now ~1000 #Python scripts: from complex analysis to statistical mechanics to fractals. #builtWithMarimo

polars data
@DataPolarsOct 6
We just released Polars 2.0. It removed many of our legacy decisions makes the streaming engine our default and promotes SQL to a first class citizen within Polars. It comes with initial out-of-core (spill to disk) support, a new Map data type and a lot of performance improvements. In fact, we think Polars is now one of the fastest analytical SQL engines on a single node. See benchmarks in the post: pola.rs/posts/release-polars…

What have you all built lately?
Simone Conradi@S_ConradiSep 18
A classic Monte Carlo simulation, it takes me right back to my student days. 16 cars of equal length park at random along a street 20 cars long. #builtWithMarimo #python #numpy #matplotlib Thanks Claude Code for drawing nice cars in matplotlib 😀

It can take the models a cycle or two to train on our newest features, so please ask the model which version it's coding against & check our release notes to see what new things you can do w/ us!

🥳 congrats @mdanalysis!

@NumFOCUSSep 4
MDAnalysis just landed a Research Software Maintenance Fund grant — enough to hire a dedicated Research Software Engineer. That’s what sustained backing does: it turns “someone squeezes this in” into “someone’s job is to make sure this works.” Support like Max the Stack keeps that momentum going. hubs.la/Q04wL-c40

I refuse! I will not teach #MachineLearning without first covering frequentist and Bayesian #Probability! Today in my machine learning class, we covered probability. During our discussion of Bayesian probability, we worked through the Sivia Bayesian coin demo. Then I opened my interactive @matplotlib #Python dashboard and formulated our prior and likelihood directly in the computer! Probability first. Machine learning second. 😉

When I teach #DeepLearning and #MachineLearning, I like to build the models with my students piece by piece. For example, we construct a simple artificial #NeuralNetwork from scratch and then train it using only fundamental mathematics: - linear algebra - derivatives - the chain rule Once the mathematics clicks, we bring it to life with an interactive @Matplotlib dashboard so students can see how the network learns. I've shared the notebook on #GitHub: github.com/GeostatsGuy/DataS…
