I won't argue against the Supreme Court being a political institution. However, I do think the court is more nuanced than popular opinion realizes. The article below shows a nice graphic of how often justices rule together on non-unanimous decisions.

I went to college with Lars. He's a brilliant, wonderful person. Allow me to be one more person who doesn't know what to say. I hope that's ok.

The PR message with a riff off the Night Before Christmas is gold.

Seems interesting. It would be nice if a user could record maintenance events. For example: rotate tires, change oil. Also, I would like to upload user manuals - not just hyperlinks.

I wonder why aeon split from sktime.

New comment by thetinymite in "Blowing holes in Seymour Hersh’s pipe dream"

thetinymite — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 07:53:04 +0000

Ed Crooks, formerly of the FT and now at WoodMac had this to say in his energy pulse this week.

> While there is clearly still a great deal that we don’t know about this incident, one crucial aspect of Hersh’s story — the supposed US motive for sabotaging the pipelines — seems flawed. He argues that “President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponise natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions” in Europe, and was determined to stop that. But by September 2022, when the blasts happened, Russia had already stopped flows through Nord Stream, claiming it was unable to operate the pipeline because of the West’s sanctions on critical equipment that required maintenance. There was consensus among commentators and politicians that flows were unlikely to resume.

> Blowing up Nord Stream did not really change the outlook for European gas markets. One thing it did do was provide a more solid justification for Gazprom’s argument that it was unable to supply contracted volumes to Germany. And that is something that will weigh in future arbitration of damages claims from European utilities.

The author grew up in Utah, so my guess is that the essay is about Mormonism / latter day saints

I've been using ploomber over the last year to build ML pipelines. It's good for both dev/prod workflows. The other frameworks were too bulky for a small team with little infra support.

I've been using ploomber for a month and so far, I really like it. The developers have been super helpful. It hits the sweet spot for writing developer-friendly, maintainable scientific code. Our data science team is looking at adopting it as our team's standard for deployments.
