It's a serious problem that the city's Electoral Board doesn't post public minutes, only posted this last meeting's agenda as its first posted agenda since 2023, and made this absolutely insane decision to permit federal 'monitors' (including a paralegal & a financial analyst?) into polling places.

@louisboucherie.com, @sunelehmann.com & @yyahn.bsky.social found a new way of cutting dendrograms. To cut a network or cloud of data points into clusters, you could turn it into a tree. Points that are very related sprout from the same twig. (1/3)

Biking this time of year is mostly about admiring the trees and trying not to crash while doing so.

Have you seen 'anti-bike' lanes? They are poorly designed infrastructure that may do more harm than good. yyahn.com/wiki/Anti-bi... 1. They are dangerous. 2. They create conflicts. 3. They can erode support for better bike infrastructure.

Anti-bike lanes

You were riding in a narrow, no-protection "bike lane" between parked cars and high-speed traffic, when a car door swung open. Well, the door made you fly...

This is not a bike lane but an anti-bike lane. You are more in danger by using it. (Looking at your w main st)

Very glad to have @kevinren09.bsky.social 's first PhD paper out. AI text detection (aka Pangram) is very impressive. But when do we expect it to work? We warn that distribution shift is [still] a major issue -- (1) performance suffers in adversarial settings and with new LLMs
