Actually having a few of them myself, and very proud to still be using my first ever computer screen bought in 2004 or 2005. What are we supposed to do? Just buy new ones and fill up the garbage pile? But definitely requires motivation

Excited to have co-contributed the SquashingScaler, which implements the robust numerical preprocessing from RealMLP!
⚡ Release 0.6.0 is now out! ⚡

🚀 Major update! Skrub DataOps, various improvements for the TableReport, new tools for applying transformers to the columns, and a new robust transformer for numerical features are only some of the features included in this release.

Huge release, and the first one where I felt like I actually contributed a lot to the final result.

I really think DataOps are a game changer, and I can't wait to see what people come up with with them.

I also ended up rewriting most of the user guide, hopefully improving it along on the way 😂

Étude passionnante sur la naissance des inégalités. Très intéressée par le lien avec l’esprit de compétition, à mon avis ce qu’il se passe en mathématiques est une version extrême des autres domaines scientifiques et non-scientifiques ! Beaucoup de femmes diplômées et peu en position de décision
Alors qu’à l’entrée en CP, filles et garçons ont le même niveau en maths, un écart important apparaît en 4 mois seulement et s'accroît ensuite. Cette nouvelle étude menée sur près de 3  millions d’élèves pointe le rôle du cadre scolaire dans l’amplification des biais de genre

For my first🧵on bsky, what if a single UNet could solve all inverse problems?
In our latest preprint with Samuel Hurault, Maxime Song and @tachellajulian.bsky.social, we build a single multitask UNet for computational imaging — and show it generalizes surprisingly well 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2503.08915

Same feeling exactly!
Attending #EuroCIM2025 highlights the terrifying chasm between the technical front end of causal inference and the state of causal inference in applied science.

People accuse me of making things too complicated. But I'm eating crayons compared with true 'causal inference methods' folk.

The fact that they call themselves "AI Safety" and call us "AI Ethics" is very interesting to me.

What makes them "safety" and what makes us "ethics"?
