Given how often ML models will periodically just spit out their training data verbatim, you should assume that anything you've put into Dropbox is something somebody else might see, whether that's a problem for you or not.

yes, i'm proud of this. #computeing :birdsite:

Anakin: "I won't log in to X any more." Padmé: "The site formerly known as Twitter, right?" The bottom half of the image is a screenshot of terminal multiplexer tmux running in the Linux virtual console, which does not use the X graphical server. One pane shows a text editor with ASCII art of Anakin smiling wordlessly and Padmé asking worriedly "The site formerly known as Twitter, right?" The other panes have the terminal-based Mastodon client toot open to one of my posts from earlier today; neofetch; and KEXP radio playing in VLC's ncurses interface. It is all in the purple, pink, and pastel "Fairy Floss Dark" theme.

@radovan I only have experience with Matplotlib and Seaborn, and my personal opinion would be *not* Matplotlib for a novice. The interface and modes of use are too complicated. Seaborn does a better job, but still not ideal because it is ultimately based on Matplotlib. I imagine someone has done a better job out there. Perhaps those other packages you mention...

Employees: We like working in the same homes where we sleep. There's no commute, it's very convenient.

Google: Nah we need you back in the office. But we built hotel rooms here so you can still sleep in the same place you work and there's no commute.

Employees: Uh yeah that's not what we wanted.

Google: That'll be $99. Which you pay us. To trap you in the office we demanded you come back to.

NASA Photos from today's OSIRIS-REx sample-landing day:

#OSIRISRex

The sample return capsule from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission is seen shortly after touching down in the Utah desert. The blackened gumdrop-shaped capsule is sitting on its heat shield. It has a bright orange and yellow circle on its side. The dark capsule contrasts with green scrub bushes as well as the pale, pinkish soil and mountains in the background.
Lockheed Martin System Safety Engineer Victoria Thiem performs preliminary checks on the sample return capsule from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. The engineer stands in front of the blackened, gumdrop-shaped capsule, holding a black object with an antenna in her hand and leaning slightly over the capsule. Behind her are two bags, one on top of the other. The top bag is clear plastic with a white and yellow rectangular object inside. The dark capsule contrasts with green scrub bushes as well as the pale, pinkish soil.
Lockheed Martin Mission Operations Assurance Lead Graham Miller, Lockheed Martin Recovery Specialist Michael Kaye, and Lockheed Martin Recovery Specialist Levi Hanish, prepare the sample return capsule from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission for transport. The three recovery specialists surround the capsule, squatting down to cover it in protective plastic laters. They are wearing nitrate gloves, hiking gear with long sleeves and pants, and ballcaps. The capsule sits on top of two sheets of plastic in the Utah desert. The top sheet is clear with transparent orange tape being applied by the recovery specialists. The bottom sheet is grey with black straps.
Curation teams process the sample return capsule from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission in a cleanroom. Three people stand around the opened capsule. They are covered head to toe in white cleanroom "bunny suits". The opened capsule is a mess of orange tubes and metallic boxes. A fourth person stands off to the side, also in a bunny suit, photographing them with a camera.

Today is the autumn equinox in the northern hemisphere, so here's a look at the chemical cause of the yellows, oranges and reds in the fall foliage we'll be seeing shortly! wp.me/p4aPLT-sn

Infographic on the chemistry of the colours of autumn leaves. Green is caused by chlorophyll, carotenoids and flavonoids give yellows, and oranges come from carotenoids, which also contribute to reds along with anthocyanins.
