@BudElliott3 Yea it may be a cop out, “we don’t punish links, we punish people leaving X when the links take them away”, but it may not be necessary for citing sources and similar uses.

@BudElliott3 I haven’t seen anything about specific link sources, I can’t find the original tweet announcing it by grok could pull the substance for you. x.com/nikitabier/sta…

@finkd Hello Mark, you do not need to put the links in replies anymore. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@BudElliott3 Twitter has come out and said they don’t penalize links any more

You can also adapt any gbm to predict multiple, parametrized outputs, not just multiple classification predictions statmills.com/2026-04-06-gra…

@SaiemGilani CPOE needs target depth for completions and inc right? Is there an open source for that data? Or is target depth included in a dataset in these libraries?

@gameonpaper Hey y'all, I am interested in making a PR to display percentiles on individual player stats similar to what you show for the team stats. On the README is says to reach out to @SaiemGilani to get an API Key; let me know if that is possible, thanks and congrats on 2.0.

@Scott_Wiener Just listen to @JessicaBRiedl ; raising the cap doesn’t actually raise that much, cutting benefits for wealthy seniors actually has a chance to lower deficits x.com/JessicaBRiedl/…

The clear answer is to protect benefits for poor seniors. But we should not maximize taxes or eviscerate benefits for kids and working families so that millionaire boomers can collect far more than they paid into SocSec & Medicare. Agree? See my plan: manhattan.institute/article/a-comp…

@CFB_Data I noticed that the recruit player API is missing a decent chunk of each GT signing class that is listed on 247, and mostly with recruits who aren't given a national rank. Same with GSU. Is this a known issue? I'm happy to provide an example script and output

@statsowar I’m curious how much importance/value those variables have compared to overall team or unit quality metrics? Is it additive or is it necessary more for stylistic or use case reasons?

@atlurbanist @Boenau My understanding is the biggest at risk group from drivers are pedestrians and cyclists outside of the car; I would bet Waymo is much safer for this group than a normal Uber. The aggressive driver on the highway is not taking a Waymo instead. Still a huge win.

Very cool to find a well written statistics blog post like we used to see all the time on this app: @bruno_nicenboim giving a walkthrough of Ordinal Models with {brms} bruno.nicenboim.me/posts/posts/20… #rstats

@stevehou How so? This is just a scarce physical good with very high status signaling having a ton of demand. NYC isn’t even an AI town with tons of VC money flowing in to that industry like SF.

@HowEPhil This is one of the arguments I wish people made more. More people means more tax payers and more customers for small businesses. Spreading our fixed costs over more people would actually lower the cost of city services per person

@atlurbanist As multiple other commenters have pointed out this article is total BS. If you get upset when someone shares out of context, misleading, BS about how transit makes the city worse then why don’t you put the same effort in to educating yourself on this topic?

CFB/NFL Legend Ndamukong Suh going full YIMBY belongs in @TheZvi ‘s next housing roundup.

Everyone wants more housing. Until it’s time to actually build it. The shortage isn’t supply. It’s the system that decides whether supply gets built.

@analyticsaurabh The shortest players are not the best these days; Jokic, LeBron, Giannis, Wemby, KD, etc... Take your pick, but you are starting with someone 6'9" or higher. And really only Steph Curry has been in contention for a short player being the best recently.
