Exploratory data analysis is one thing - here the risk is low. If something does not work, it doesn't. Small omissions are not important. As of now, I would not use automatic AI to make any financial decisions with direct consequences.

A bare model may lack a lot. Yet a week ago I used Claude Code for my personal finances (not taxes) - I downloaded over a year’s worth of my bank account data. Since I pay for most things by card, if I buy lunch, it’s there. With a single p

Some time ago I created a demo of named dimensions for Pytorch, https://github.com/stared/pytorch-named-dims In the same line, I would love to have more Pandas-Pydantic interoperability at the type level.

Why I use cheaper models for summaries (a lot ogf gemini-2.5-flash), what’s the use case of cheaper AI for coding? Getting more errors, or more spaghetti code, seems never worth it.

I am curious - why UMAP not t-SNE? (See https://pair-code.github.io/understanding-umap/ ) When I saw the vis, there is a a collection of lines, which look as an artifact. t-SNE (typically) gives more "organic"

Sure, media reporting is biased towards things that are sensationalist. At the same time, total death factors are not that interesting. Everyone of us will die one day, and it might be assigned to various organs failing first. What matters

John Searle is one of those thinkers I disagree with, yet his ideas were fruitful — providing plenty of fuel for discussion. In particular, much of Daniel Dennett’s work begins with rebuttals of Searle’s claims, showing that they are incons
