I’m trying a bunch of different characters in Mario Kart World. I tend to pick Yoshi a lot though. My favorite one is usually whatever is most recent, but I really like Mario Kart DS.

Mentioned this before on the data science hangout I believe, but I’m obsessed with Mario Kart.

I don’t really think about commenting my code that much. A lot of the time I think “this should be pretty self-explanatory” though my code is also relatively simple. I’m not really a software engineer. I just like R for data manipulation and plotting.

I agree. This is pretty big reason why I don’t use Bluesky as much as I thought I would.

Weirdly enough, I have the same experience when people say “exact” or “exactly”. I always hear it like “Ec-ZACH-t”

That must be really confusing lol.

But that difference could just be due to the limitations of the model and noise in the data set. I do intuitively think that moderate candidates are likely to do better, but WAR models don’t seem like the best way to show that, unless I’m completely misreading them.

I might be misunderstanding these WAR models, but they seem to me like they first build a model that accounts for fundraising, partisan lean, incumbency, etc, and then attribute the difference between the model and actual results to the strength of the candidates.

This may or may not be because of AI, but I notice that a lot of LinkedIn posts follow the same general structure and tone, probably to optimize for engagement.

LinkedIn is frustrating in that unless you have Premium, you can only send a few personalized invites a month. Ideally they would be free for everyone. Ideally personalized invites would be free and everyone would add a note when they wanted to connect.
