Huge JVDF fan tbh.

Minor 2024/25 form blip aside, and he looked back to his best over the weekend, just world class every game.

<insert bad joke about him finally going through the gate>

Thanks! I'm unreasonably pleased with it tbqh. Would dig to get your feedback.

Lots of additional material on the website. grantmcdermott.com/tinyplot/

I gave this talk on an empty stomach and about three hours sleep. So I recommend watching it >1x playing speed...

(Also: please have pity on the tall people in your life, forced to stare directly into projector lights.)

Hmmm, I wouldn't say the problem is the availability of binary-build channels. Alongside r2u (great albeit Ubuntu only), there's rspm and the Posit manylinux repo (both multi-distro). The problem is conda hijacking and/or overriding these channels, so that they don't work like normal :-/

Yeah, unfortunately the inconsistency is the killer here. I've also run into a (related?) problem of missing pre-compiled binaries on some Linux distros that we use at work. So you end up having to install + compile everything from source ☠️

RE: lack of love for conda-forge, see this thread by @jeroenooms.bsky.social fosstodon.org/@jeroenooms/...

It's a constant stream of untaxed negative externalities that I can only assume are part of some cunning grand plan for language hegemony.

Fair points. Still, if you feel like modifying / playing around... bsky.app/profile/gmcd...

Hmmm, I don't think so. If the state of the system hinges on a few critical units then I think you want to model those directly. To the OP, if we don't see much volatility of those marginal units over time then I don't think it makes sense to talk about "close" vs "big" victories, no?

Not giving CM the inside ball at 1:30 (beautiful line!) was a legitimate gripe. But vanishingly few of those.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but isn't the way to evaluate US victory "closeness" by looking at the minimum no. of voters that could have swayed the EC?

Rinse and repeat.
