Absolutely loving these little API diagrams from the scikit-learn mooc. (https://inria.github.io/scikit-learn-mooc/)

It was also already worth the price of admission to see @GaelVaroquaux get handed some irises as a prop to explain the iris dataset! 🤣👏👏👏

New Blog Post! Running Python Parallel Applications with Sub Interpreters. What is a sub interpreter? What does this have to do with No-GIL? What use is this? Can I use it for web apps? This and more questions answered. https://tonybaloney.github.io/posts/sub-interpreter-web-workers.html #python #django #flask #fastapi

Sampling bias in practice: conducting a survey on the Paris metro platform...

if you ask people where they get off, you'll get a different distribution depending on where on the platform you stand: people choose their position close to the exits at arrival.

📑 "healthwashing": verb [ I or T ]
to make people believe that your computer-science grant or paper is about trying to improve health, while it really is an excuse to do maths and maybe you have a few biomedical signals on a thumb drive

cloudpickle 3.0.0 is out!

https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle

cloudpickle is a library used by PySpark, Dask, Ray and joblib / loky (among others) to make it possible to call dynamically or locally defined function, closures and lambdas on remote Python process workers.

This is typically necessary for running code in parallel on a distributed computing cluster from an interactive developer environment such as a Jupyter or Databricks notebooks.
