#DataPoints
More datapoints for the hypothesis that though America's long term prospects have looked increasingly hopeful since the heroic Minnesota mass protests almost a year ago, in the short term until 2028 Americans might face a lot of destabilising chaos.

With big implications for the rest of us too.

I'm back on Friday with a piece about "fault lines" - the areas most-exposed to the collapse of the AI bubble, the datapoints to watch, and what might cause things to fall apart. I'm also doing a week-long sale of 10% off annual for life.

Gaussian processes at scale! In 2D! Classified, systematised, optimised, and implemented in Jax! There's so much science to do now.

Very excited for this (41-page!) magnum opus from Mark Fortune, a postdoc in my team at MQ, and his open-source code at github.com/markfortune/.... Well done Mark!
New optimisations for exact, scalable 2D Gaussian process inference, with applications to astronomical time-series
Astronomical datasets often consist of a grid of datapoints in two or more dimensions, such as images, spectroscopic time-series, and imaging time-series. Gaussian processes (GPs) are a powerful tool ...

Ok. Who is *training* their baristas? Because 2 datapoints here, several years apart.

And I hope you got caffeinated.

An area of significant expansion in #highered is community college baccalaureates in #teacher education, a trend that has the potential to help address the U.S. K-12 teacher shortage: buff.ly/2Tb7Psg #academicsky
DataPoints: Growing community college baccalaureates to address teacher shortage
Community colleges are taking on a growing role in preparing K-12 teachers, helping to address a shortage that disproportionately affects rural and urban communities. According to the Learning Policy…

I will try to dig into more demographic and other datapoints throughout the day. Some of these numbers are shocking and really challenge what we thought we knew about voter inelasticity.

By effectively going the opposite way and using their optimizing strategies as datapoints.

🔎What changes?

The revised #ESRS:
• cut the number of datapoints by over 60%
• change the materiality assessment
• add reliefs and flexibility

Double materiality and reporting on impacts, risks, opportunities and anticipated financial effects remain.

I am sure you are a diligent and meticulous collector of datapoints confirming that the nationalities and cultures you hate are worthy of your hatred.

But I simply have no interest in that project, or the fantasy that it can ever be a progressive one—no matter what nation one is targeting.

They are stkred safer than nuclear launch codes. No mentoin beyond "i think this was in the exam five years ago"

And then the exam comes along and its worded entirely differently with no datapoints given

Republicans, and those who want to see them stay in power, have gone all in on the Islamophobia this election season. Omar and Abdul are just two datapoints in a sea full of it.

i know it's november and 'tis the season for substantial discounts but i'd really rather be focusing on making 3d models and grinding out datapoints which i guess the h3c will help with but still! better to be forced to weightpaint than have to deal with this poindexter baloney

"Ebikes, on average, kill zero" which seemingly implies both that the average is zero AND that there are non-zero datapoints. Which leads to the conclusion that ebikes have, on occasion, killed a negative number of people🤔
Okay. Allow me to try and explain why those of us who generally favour more active travel have an allergy to such ideas. I hope yous will internalise this message calmly without flipping out Bluesky-style.

Cars kill over a thousand people in the UK each year. Ebikes, on average, kill zero.
NEW: Ministers are consulting on how to Ministers end the “wild west” system of some parked e-bikes blocking pavements, which will also look at possible ways to crack down on antisocial behaviour like cyclists jumping red lights.

Yes, no coincidences, all signal and good datapoints to follow.
Also, on second thoughts, the gift that Melania got from a Russian guy in the WH? Does anyone check it? It could be a coded message or a code for a bank transfer or more.. but whatever it is or it is not, is it a protocol or no?

I’ve seen more than a few partisan energy commentators get weirdly aggressive about datapoints they don’t like, or that don’t conform to their idea of what energy “should be”. Now I wonder if there’s overlap… 😅

2. All the datapoints in 2026 agree with each other unlike 2024

In 2024 the polls and the fundamentals (non-polling indicators) disagreed with each other: Biden's approval sat near a disastrous 39.5% while the polls were roughly 50-50. (1/3)

How many times over the past week have you been warning us with graphs and datapoints?
Anyone who didn't prepare only has themselves to blame.

Ginkgo Datapoints' VCPI just added DRUG-seq profiles for the 12,949-compound ReFRAME library. It now covers 26,000+ compounds in THP-1 cells, ~10,000 genes per well, CC-BY-4.0, built for virtual cell models.

Dr. Dorothy Datapoint 🤣

Also, I love the "wheeee" of the datapoints having fun getting sent through the high speed data networks. Going to have to send that one to the my past data network engineering colleagues.

My datapoints so far gives democrats 56 Senate seats....perhaps even 57.....and i am not counting Fettermann who will likely go republican....or he may chose to stay Democrat to just annoy Democrats!.

Who owns Scotland’s land, and why is it difficult to get a complete picture?

In the latest blog in our DataPoints series, Dave Miller from the James Hutton Institute explores the complexities of Scotland’s land data and makes the case for a single, reliable source of information.
