To be effective, data science agents need to be able to read plots reliably. @sara-altman.bsky.social and I wrote about some concerning findings on LLMs' ability to interpret plots when the content contradicts their expectations on the @posit.co blog.

When plotting, LLMs see what they expect to see - Posit
Data science agents need to accurately read plots even when the content contradicts their expectations. Our testing shows today's LLMs still struggle here.

Plain language is communication that your audience can understand the first time they hear or read it. This varies by audience, of course. What is common vocabulary for clergy won't necessarily be common for chemists, attorneys, or engineers. Know your audience.

Really annoying that Canada Soccer gives 10 mins~ notice (to the public at least) for the pre-match press conference with it being on Instagram Live with no replay option.

Mo Salah completed more dribbles (5) vs Aston Villa than *the rest of his 25/26 season combined*.
5 more vs Real tonight, so 10 in 2 games matching the total from his previous 20 (twenty) #LFC appearances

I do think defining a single league strength value to order is tricky, and probably needs breaking down into various metrics
E.g. English Champ is ranked 6th by "average" rating which is probably too high. That's more due to the depth of the league as it drops to 13th using top 5 team quality (2/2)

Liverpool 541 oop at home to Palace was unique in many ways. The last time Liverpool started a match not in a back 4 at Anfield was Brendan Rodgers' last home game in charge (October 1st 2015). afaik #lfc

Glasner yesterday. Slot goes 541 oop from the off at home, in what is damage limitation mode.

Larnaca beat Palace 541 so Slot figured it's worth a shot under these conditions 😅

![quote from Oliver Glasner "It’s football – and like life itself, football never stops. You always need to progress and you have to look at where you can develop.
Sometimes you could see [in recent years] the game getting quicker and quicker, with the players getting more and more athletic. Then sometimes the game moves a little bit back to its’ roots.
And I have to blame myself that we didn’t consider using it even more in the last couple of years, because it’s a great opportunity to get the ball into the box. And everybody knows that 90% of goals are scored in this area.
And there is no offside. You can have quite a few numbers in there, so it’s just logical that you would try and get the ball into these areas."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lutsmvdjvlvauwvvogtvlmxg/bafkreidc7kzipgwmf5ljpv3hhfq6qrqbrqhtgepngjr3s5tswlfp3577xq@jpeg)
