ideia de startup:

um app de saúde digital que bote um pop up do Lula falando "para saber o quê, porra" toda vez que você abre o celular entre 20h da noite e 7:30 da manhã, e "não tem o que falar toda hora, gente" a qualquer hora se você abrir whatsapp, instagram, bsky, facebook, kwai ou tiktok.

Ah, yes. I see the Department of Metaphors and Idioms is still fully staffed, despite other government cuts. This one is a little on the nose, but effective.

1. Cool work here from @jwolondon.bsky.social !

2. If I could parallelize my life (lol), I would love to do some research on the aesthetics of imprecision in the current moment. (Or, in reality, would love to read some n+1 etc essay about this as a topic)
Do you want a bit more sketchiness in your #datavis?

Here's my @observablehq.com Plot plugin that turns an Plot specification into a sketchy version with minimal extra work:

Trump and Musk share a commonality of somehow being both quite clever and extremely dumb which I (and others) have found confusing.

I have a model that has been working.

I think they’re both clever guys with extremely narrow worldviews.

Parece programa de humor, mas é uma audiência no Congresso dos EUA.
DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

LUTNICK: Generally 10%

DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America
Hoje tem Feira de Ciência dos filhotes. Muito legal ver o engajamento da galera, como eles levam a sério e se preocupam com o que fizeram.

A Câmara dos Deputados está, neste momento, votando para suspender uma ação penal contra o Gustavo Gayer por ele ter caluniado e difamado um senador.

Congresso segue à toda, atropelando o decoro como se fosse um motorista bêbado.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

Boiling here at home in Cyprus but I put the finishing touches a couple of days ago on this preprint: What Does 'Human-Centred AI' Mean? doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Wherein I analyse HCAI & demonstrate through 3 triplets my new tripartite definition of AI (Table 1) that properly centres the human. 1/n

3 types of AI
I split AI into 3 non-mutually exclusive types (see Table 1 above): displacement (harmful), enhancement (beneficial), and/or replacement (neutral) of human cognitive labour. More later possibly, but see Tables 2 to 4 (attached or here: arxiv.org/pdf/2507.19960) for the worked through examples. 2/n

A Maria Corina é sim de extrema direita, o que não quer dizer que o Maduro é bom. O que todo mundo que eu conheço acha é que ninguém que fica incitando a maior potencia bélica do mundo a invadir o proprio país, dentre outras coisas, seja uma pessoa merecedora de qualquer premio "da paz".

Statisticians in my field have been trying to improve statistical literacy in earnest since the early 20th century. The @royalstatsoc.bsky.social has an entire section on teaching statistics. We have the tools. The knowledge simply isn't valued enough.
