🇫🇷📊 Si 62% des Français pensent que le RN sort renforcé de ce vote, plus d'un Français sur deux jugent que E. Macron (52%), E. Borne (50%) ou leur parti Renaissance (53%) en sortent au contraire affaiblis. Les LR sortent plutôt renforcés (37%) aux yeux des Français.

TIL that a "greedy algorithm" is called a "glutton algorithm" in French. Now I can't think of anything but Wolverines 😄

Today is international pagination day, I guess. An APSR (led by @liorsheffer.bsky.social & on legislators play ultimatum games) received pages 1429-1447. A JLS (w @benguinaudeau.bsky.social & Tinette Schnatterer on German Policy Agendas) got pages 485-497.
I couldn't be happier with these numbers.👍

To convert the AT Url into HTTP URL, take a look at the function atr:::convert_http_to_at(<your original AT URL>), you'll obtain the corresponding HTTP URL, which should be reachable (assuming the data is openly accessible)

Since I can't see what's after app.bsky.graph, it's hard to tell whether it's an individual follow or a list of accounts followed by the specified account.

This is the link to the accounts following the account specified in the URL. The did:...qzqd is the unique identifier an account (handle can change ; see bsky.app/profile/did:... ). The rest of the URL specify the types account information that should be queried, in that case following.

Props to my amazing partners on this quick project! 😍

Hey German #rstats & train users:

I discovered yesterday that the new interface on bahn.de uses a pretty open API. So naturally, I wrote a quick R wrapper package.

I was indeed thinking of data access. I agree that Meta is not the worst actor, but IMO the platform is terrible in terms of algorithm accountability and related data access. But I reckon they have been exploring interesting collaborative structures with academics and I hope they will continue!

I'm curious about why you think Threads will have open access ? (Not really the usual vibes at Meta)

I don't want to overstate causality here, but FWIW, the fraction of your jokes I understand is very funny. DAG below suggests you may wanna start working on the complexity first. Admittedly, my observations are biased and you should get more complex minds involved.

My bad, once again, I failed to capture your jokes 🫣 anyway, it's good to see you on this platform, as I still have hope to better comprehend your sense of humor in the future (that's my own personal and modest development goal)

Thx for the literature pointer. For an audit study, I recently looked for a proper fundamental definition of bias (limited my search to the CS literature). All I could find was "homemade" and half-baked defs... Therefore, I very much look forward to reading those papers!
