This doesn’t solve anything except homelessness being an eyesore, to which it relocates and becomes one elsewhere, requiring acting on the law, resulting in relocation and becoming one elsewhere, requiring acting on the law, resulting in relocation…
If they want to go down the route of not fixing homelessness, the next step is culling. Apparently the most expensive and ineffective methods are desirable.
Yeah, but it is on the internet.
GameBoy Pocket. Screen needs a swap though. Copped some sun and the display has darkened bad.
you often need to buy it from other countries. For instance, Russia. Not great.
Yeeeeah, I wouldn’t worry about that. Sure we (Australia) are conservative with our fears of mining and exporting uranium, especially with the Cold War and reactor whoopsies around the world. But historically it doesn’t take much for us to go down on an ally.
Just let us finish unloading all our coal off to the worst polluting nations first, then we’ll crack the top-shelf stuff.
Unfortunately it depends on who’s doing it. Who’s creatively in charge and what freedom they get.
At the moment, it’s reliably bad. Even when the vision is good, it’s dominated by invested poo poo.
I really loved your comment. I tried to reply to you, but obv couldn’t. Then tried to PM you, but couldn’t figure it out or I just can’t.
It was really insightful for both perspective on myself and on the community.
Go on…
Just curious if you can.
Oh, I’ve never looked into it, I just noticed it sometimes. I don’t say anything harmful or nasty, just unpopular so I expect downvote burial even before I hit the post button haha. I figure that’s how it’s always meant to work. Downvotes handle dipshit remarks, mods handle malicious ones. But seems entire conversations with multiple people get removed because, despite all the positive upvotes and people involved in a good ol’ fashion discussion, a mod has a different personal opinion and it all goes. Even the off-hand comments connected to that thread.
Never heard of 'em. Good thing we don’t have things in place where some random country can block the rest of them.
That’s a tough question in analytics lol
You mean mathematical examples? Or like examples of analytical outcomes? Keeping in mind the more analytics-heavy, the more it involves lots of sources, patterns, variables, and scenarios, but I could provide just a single example.
Edit: Oh, wait. If you’re referring to just averages… In forecasting I prefer, as a minimum, to do weighted averaging. This is where I’ll have a certain time period of cumulated historical data that provides a more stable base, however more weight is applied the more recent (relevant) the data is. This shows a more realistic average than a single snapshot of data that could be an outlier.
But speaking of outliers, I’d prefer to also apply weight to outlying data points that may skew the output, especially if sample size is low. Like 1, 2, 2, 76, 3, 2. That 76 obviously skews the “average”.
Above that, depending on what’s required, I’ll use a proper method. Like if someone wants to know on average how many trucks they need a day, I’ll utilise Poisson instead to get the number of trucks they need each day to meet service requirements, including acceptable queuing, during the day. Like how the popular Erlang formulas utilise Poisson distribution and can kind of handle 90% of BAU S&D loading in day to day operations with a couple clicks.
That’s a basic example, but as data cleanliness increases, those better steps can be taken. Could be like 25 average last Wed vs. 20 weighted average over last month vs. 16 actually needed if optimised correctly.
Oh, and if there’s data on each truck’s mileage, capacity, availability, traffic density in areas over the day, etc…obbioisly it can be even more optimised. Though I’d only go that far if things were consistent/routine. Script it, automate it, set and forget and have the day’s forecast appear in the warehouse each morning.
And yet such simple things are often incredibly hard to get done because of poor data governance or systems.
Yeah, but American “liberals” aren’t actually liberals in any way. They’re just conservative narcissists inappropriately using that label to get away with very non-liberalism shit that ironically oppresses people’s freedoms for the sake getting/maintaining what they want.
It’s true. I didn’t realise how much a piece of shit I was until- Waaaait a minute…
Did you just assume binary genders?
pulls out taller soapbox
How dare you!
If your parents wouldn’t let you see it at 12-years old, it’s too much for Lemmy to handle. Pearls will be clutched; soapboxes mounted.
I did advanced mathematics and chose physics as one of my elective subjects in school. Nowadays, I do a lot of work based around analytics and forecasting.
“We need to find the average of this.”
“That’s easy. I’ll do some more advanced stuff to really dial in the accuracy.”
“Awesome. What’s the timeframe?”
looks at million row dataset “To find the average? Like a month. Some of these numbers are mispelled words… Why are all these blank?”
“Oh, you’ll have to read this 45 page document that outlines the default values.”
And that’s how roffice maths works. Lots and lots of if conditions, query merges, and meetings with other teams trying to understand why they entered in the thing they entered. By the time the data wrangling phase is complete, you give zero fucks about doing more than supplying the average.
What’s America’s stance on terrorism again? This is full-blown terrorism, but extra cold and intentional with each trigger pull. It’s certainly not running into an area with a bomb hoping for the best, that’s for sure.
I didn’t notice it much this year. I think the markets have moved on. It’s been years since rainbow Facebook profile pics and now the right is having surging influence. Companies will jump onto homophobia if that’s cool in the next few years.
