Riding #bikes in #Minneapolis and using #rstats for #data. Some projects over at matt.sandy.ms
One of the most interesting artifacts of #command-line based #Ai providers, is there is an incentive to produce a local script to process #data, as generating the code to fulfill a request likely is less impactful on their servers than processing the actual files to be processed.

Between #WASM, #DuckDB, #WebLLM, and some amazing progress on SQL specific LLMs, this could be an interesting era of lots of questions answered, and some answered correctly. Context truly is king.

Working on a Chrome extension to add some context to #DOGE whenever numbers get thrown around. Might also want to add corrections to descriptions of the programs.

Made some updates to little word guessing game. farmcow.app. Cosine similarity is now done locally to reduce latency, and the combinations don't include the answer. Pretty fun, pretty silly.

Taking a look at daily high temps in #Minneapolis. Using #rstats for this #datavis. Now to get the high, low, and factor in historical ice thickness at Lake the Isles to predict when the ice is safe to skate.

If you ever forget where the lakes and rivers are, you can just plot 311 reports until you gather up your shapefiles. #peopleliveonland

Taking a look at the precinct level data using #rstats and #rayrender for #Minnesota. Elevation is determined by abs((Harris - Trump) / st_area) in each precinct and then rasterized, greyscale within boundaries is where the vote count was equal.

If you need to order moving boxes you can use #rstats to calculate how many based on best fit on a catalog of your items. #procrastinating

Alright, let's do this! Figured my first BlueSky post should be a banger, so I took a look at the setlist from one of my favorite bands, @themountaingoats.bsky.social, and created a visualization of the top 40 songs, and their co-occurrence within a setlist using #rstats for this #datavis.
