Two-panel chart showing AI model performance. The top panel displays performance cards for the six best models (Claude 4.1 Opus, Claude 4.5 Sonnet, Grok 4, Magistral Medium 7.2, GPT-5 high, and Kimi K2 0905) with their accuracy, hallucination rates, and combined scores. The bottom panel shows a scatterplot of all 18 models, with accuracy on the x-axis and hallucination rate on the y-axis, and the top 6 models labeled and highlighted. Proprietary models (blue) cluster in the high accuracy, low hallucination zone, while open-weight models (coral) show more varied performance.

Points cluster along the diagonal 'no change' line, mostly within 70-80%, indicating minimal seasonal variation. Blue points represent indoor cats, orange points represent indoor & outdoor cats. Right panel: Dot plots showing resting time by household environment. Cats in homes with children rest slightly less (~70%) than those without (~75%), while dog presence shows minimal difference. Individual cats are shown as points with mean ± SE bars overlaid.

#rstats | #DataFam | #dataviz | #ggplot2
Four-panel dashboard showing US domestic terrorism trends from 1994-2024. Panel A shows total annual attacks increased 53% from early period to recent years. Panel B displays per capita rates (attacks per million people) increased 26%, demonstrating that population growth explains half the raw increase. Panel C presents smoothed trend lines by ideology, with right-wing attacks (orange line) rising from ~8 attacks in mid-2000s to ~25 in recent years, while jihadist (teal) and left-wing (light blue) attacks remain lower. Panel D shows right-wing share of total attacks, typically 60-90%, with a notable dip to ~50% in the late 2000s. Key finding: while raw attack counts rose substantially, population-adjusted rates show a more modest increase, and right-wing attacks consistently dominate throughout the entire period.
