Powerful visuals.
NEW: Iโm not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: https://t.co/dBIhT9eZLv And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

why no-code never took off, in two sentences.
@mikpanko if you can't express what you want in words, no amount of clicking will get you the right answer if you can express it in words, it's not a big leap to express it in code

Prediction intervals for machine learning models. MAPIE works with any scikit-learn model & is a big improvement over basic methods that only gave constant interval widths. Based on conformal prediction. Awesome library. https://t.co/NGZJaA79I6

Frustrating for readers and authors: poor quality copies on the market. Are these knock-offs or random problems at the publisher? Have reached out to Wiley.
