They have also removed a bottle of booze off my deliveroo order, so you all can have an extra for me. >:(

Hell yeah! What's your research about?

Machine learning?
That would have been easier lol.
I mean I'm taking a class on machine learning and ... well ... on the one hand it's supposed to be a "rigorous" theoretical class, and the project at least is going to actually be that because I get to choose the topic and I'm obviously gonna make it mathematically rigorous ... but on the other hand, my professor keeps saying "ask the LLMs for more details about the derivations I'm teaching you" 😭😭😭😭😭. I guess he decided teaching students real analysis is hard and ChatGPT is easy. And the lecture notes have literally zero references so I'm completely on my own 😭😭😭😭😭
My environmental proxies have been a conundrum for machine learning (I'm pretty sure why, writing a grant on that), so I can sympathise. I have some tools for you, if you'd like for me to share. Dm me and I'll send you a bunch of stuff when I'm less inebriated.
Was supposed to be DM lol
I love how you summed up at least 75% of science. I’m in this picture and… I have mixed feelings!
Just because I’m a pedantic little academic: if you know how your data is crap, you can make an extra shiny model that doesn’t give only crap outputs
Howling
AND logic?
