En algún momento reciente alguien decidió el nuevo diseño oficial de las farmacias de España. Mismos focos, mismos leds, mismo aire en todas.

Y así es como en 2 minutos mi @openclaw me ha programado una skill para sacar todos mis tickets digitales de @Mercadona de mi mail, crear una base de datos analizarla! 2 minutos y un solo prompt! Todos los días desde hace meses programo con AI pero no deja de alucinarme!

This is the first time I’ve seen ChatGPT render a custom interactive mini tool UI, in this case a calculator, to answer one of my questions. I think a big part of the future of software lies in this blend of conversations with agents and custom interactive UIs.

"Some people in the West might see A.I. as a job killer or the cyborg assassin in The Terminator. But in Japan, people are more likely to associate the technology with Doraemon, the cuddly robotic cat" Everything at the end, is narrative economics. https://archive.ph/hSByc

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.

I exported all the data that Google Maps and uploaded it to @graphext.bsky.social to answer a question I constantly ask myself: How much time have I spent in Madrid compared to Granada over the past seven years? It turns out I've spent roughly 30% of my time in Granada and 70% in Madrid.

Very interesting! Madrid now receives almost x3 as many national tourists as Barcelona, even though Barcelona gets over a million more international tourists each year than Madrid Also curious Zaragoza gets x3 more national tourism than international. Data INE + analysis with @graphext.bsky.social

Another great piece by Civio explaining how Spain’s prison permit algorithm works—and its biases. It hasn’t been updated since 1993!

Civio@civio.es · 2y ago

Las prisiones españolas usan un #algoritmo sin actualizar desde 1993 para decidir sobre permisos de salida. Más de 200 resoluciones dictadas en 2024 citan el resultado de este algoritmo como motivo para denegar u otorgar permisos penitenciarios. Aquí, nuestra nueva investigación👇

I find it pretty amazing that almost every home in Madrid has a metro station within 300 meters on average, and only 25% are more than 500 meters away. Across the entire city! Data from Idealista on @graphext.bsky.social

If you’ve never heard of How To with John Wilson, do yourself a favor and put it on tonight or this weekend on HBO Max. One of the most underrated shows in history. They’re like mini-documentaries about everyday life in New York.

I love nonfiction books that are under 100 pages. I’ve downloaded over 2M books and reviews from Goodreads. What I’ve found is that less than 5% of nonfiction books published are under 100 pages. As you can see in this chart I created with @graphext.bsky.social , they tend to be much more popular!

I have salespeople chasing me all day trying to sell me B2B software through LinkedIn, cold calls while I spend my day chasing plumbers to get things fixed at home. Capitalism is sending a signal, AI writes code so well but robot hands still can’t quite manage to properly connect two pipes!

📣 New paper in Nature Human Behavior @natureportfolio.bsky.social! Using large-scale mobility data, we find how businesses, amenities, and other urban places depend on each other. It reveals connections that aren’t always visible but have substantial economic impacts. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ah shit, here we go again

It’s pretty incredible how fast Qatar Airways’ free Wi-Fi with Starlink is. I can’t decide if it’s great or terrible news that the last refuge of disconnection—long-haul flights—is vanishing

November is the month when temperatures in Madrid change the most drastically. They dropped by 33% compared to October. The data comes from 100 years of temperature readings taken from the AEMET thermometer in El Retiro park, accessed via their API and visualized on @graphext.bsky.social

The thing about agents in the new version of Cursor is crazy. It created a medium-complex functional DBT model using BigQuery data from GA4 in just 3 minutes with a single prompt. It generated all the files, the code, installed packages, and even recovered from errors all on its own…

Am I the only one who takes screenshots during video calls and saves them in a Google Photos album as memories? For the first time ever, we can have photo memories of our work life! 😂 I’m sharing an internal team meeting from @graphext.bsky.social to respect the privacy of our clients.

Great thread on how to create better data visualizations 👇

Trying something new: A 🧵 on a topic I find many students struggle with: "why do their 📊 look more professional than my 📊?" It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social 🔗 www.ft.com/content/73a1...

So many people have tried this before and failed… What Bluesky is achieving is amazing and critical for the future of social media. Truly becoming an open protocol for social networks, like the internet or email itself and easy to use, is no easy task!

Jay 🦋@jay.bsky.team · 2y ago

Bluesky is a PBC (public benefit corporation) with the mission “to develop and drive large-scale adoption of technologies for open and decentralized public conversation.” From the start, our goal has been to build a decentralized social network that is usable by the mainstream.

Just as starting axes above zero is often considered bad practice, it can also be a good idea to leave the empty space up to 100%, as in this example, to emphasize how far all the categorical values are from achieving something.

This is a pretty great example of showing potential in a 📊 chart, or “nothing” in @visualisingdata.com terms. From a story about a math test for LLMs that they all pretty much fail at, and that they can’t be trained on because the actual questions are secret. arstechnica.com/ai/2024/11/n...
