Plausible. But I’ve learned any prognostications on complex systems are far more likely to be wrong than right. Looking forward to connecting these dots in hindsight.

Mind blown. I just realized that iPhone and MacBooks can share a copy buffer. Copy on one, paste to the other. How long has that been there?

Very appreciative to Wes McKinney and so many others that help evolve this space. So many of us stand on your shoulders while focusing on the mere application of these technologies and receiving the kudos for the value they generate. Thank you! vldb.org/pvldb/vol16/p2… #datascience

So many companies say they are okay with failure but they still behave in ways which discourages risk-taking and innovation. In Amy Edmondson new book she articulates the different types of failures which gives us with the vocabulary to adjust and embrace the right kind of

Gorgeous visualization. Effective too. Coneys so much more than text alone. NYTimes always does a nice job. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Good framing on the tradeoff between moving fast and shipping high quality code. In a data science context, I believe one needs to lean towards 'fast' in the short-term in order to learn more quickly and allay uncertainty. But, once value is found, we need refactor to achieve a

Must be fun to be a PhD student right now. So many adjacent possibilities surface now that foundational models are available. Cool paper on the relationships between objects in an image. arxiv.org/pdf/2402.19474… #AI #computervision

Working in companies shouldn't be so hard. Even when we all want the same things, we trip over bad process and unnecessary coordination. At the same time, other things can be too easy and we do things we later regret. Learn how to smartly work with friction. The Friction Project:
