🌈 Meteorologists weighed rainbows and found out they're pretty light

I’m unfortunately still not doing well, so we’ll have a shorter issue today. So let’s enjoy some machine learning!

The Latest Fashion

• The next level in using Stable Diffusion is installing a WebGUI instead of using Huggingface spaces and this InvokeAI fork is pretty comprehensive and open source!
• Writing tests for machine learning can feel daunting. This article makes writing robust tests for data and ML more accessible!
• This AI4Code Kaggle challenge is very nice to read through (and there’s 7 days left).

My Current Obsession

Unfortunately, I’m still sick. Additionally, my return through Serbia from Athens had some complications, which lead to my very first rerouted landing in an airplane. Since Belgrade was unavailable during our flight, we had to land in the South of Serbia (Niš) and then take a bus to Belgrad to get a flight back home. Honestly, a bit much after such a long time of travelling and I would’ve much preferred some days to recover at home, rather than worrying if and how I’ll get home.

I have also been exploring Mastodon, now that Twitter is officially in private hands. You can find me here.

Thing I Like

Just happy about the fresh, cold, sparkling water from my Sodastream Crystal. Not much else going on currently.

Data Stories

I just stumbled upon the 30-Day Map Challenge on Mastodon.

In November each day has a different challenge to create a different map from data. I’ve been enjoying the hashtag and seeing the creativity people use for their creations. Like this one from day 2 showing the rivers in the UK, therefore completing a map of the UK.

Question of the Week

• How does boosting differ from bagging?

Post them on Mastodon and Tag me. I’d love to see what you come up with. Then I can include them in the next issue!

Tidbits from the Web

• Following the Musk-Twitter chaos, this website for Elon Code Review, got a good chuckle out of me.
• NASA just successfully pushed an asteroid out of its trajectory!
• Streamer Pestily and his neighbour went to take professional dance lessons and it was incredibly entertaining.
