when there are two of a thing it means that exactly 50% of people choose each side. that's just data science.

Yes, as if designing an experiment and collecting data with intent doesn’t matter.

This isn't how science works. You're attempting to prove your assumption with inapplicable data.

Critical point by @cailinmeister.bsky.social.. academics coming out saying they weren’t paid by meta perpetuates a myth about how industry influences science. The reality is much more pernicious; everything from selective data access to unrestricted grants.
Meta is trying to discredit researchers who argue their products are harmful. This does not mean that researchers “on their side” are corrupt, and focusing on corruption in science in this case is to entirely miss what is going wrong.
Industry almost never buys corrupt researchers, and this is really important
Conflating industry influence in science with researcher bias drives repeated failures to protect science

I mean, it *is* data science 101, but have you considered "yeah but I want it to"

The first lesson of data is it’s just data. You can’t extrapolate causation without actual tests and an election is just not a good test! It’s useful for an election to make models sure, but that doesn’t mean you ever know why! It should be data science 101!!

Some cool data science that isn't deep learning or LLMs for a change: e-means, a new algorithm for k-means clustering that fits faster and is less prone to getting trapped in local minima. Has some nice animated data vis too.

The core appeal of “popularism” was always the idea that liberals could win majorities while doing small-ball policy work. The polling and data science aspects were just window dressing and it had obvious but rarely acknowledged blind spots on earned media and salience.

I was pretty sure that science didn't work by taking statistically similar science words and jamming them together in a semantically correct way but it's nice to have data

Have you ever seen satellite images and wondered how machine learning models know what’s on the ground?

Tomorrow, @dsollberger.bsky.social will show us an end-to-end GeoAI classification workflow on the Data Science Lab!

Derek, thank you for the classic Sim City vibes 🏙️

The question I want answered: How many data centres do we need to conduct science and analyse health data, etc? How much of what we are getting is to produce entertainment and tat? Because we can so get on fine without the latter.

🤖 AI agents curate science data

On 14 biomedical and chemistry tasks, AI built on agent-curated data scored 86.30% on medical questions against 80.64% for expert-curated data. Over 12 weeks of manual work took days.

data schemas and information structures with well defined attributes building into a system model that everyone understands is STILL necessary and LLM’s won’t fix the problem of abandoning information architecture as a multidisciplinary cross functional art of human factors and computer science.
