This morning I'm speaking at Harford Community College's 2023 STEM day. https://www.harford.edu/about/get-to-know-harford/news/2023/01-january/stem-day.php The slides for my talk, Data Science as a Superpower, are here: http://amelia.mn/presentations/DataScienceAsASuperPower2023.pdf

According to my especially unsupervised K-means clustering algorithm, there are currently about 8 billion types of people in the world.

It's taken me over a decade to realize how significant a problem this is, but comparing GPAs between students with significantly divergent course history is idiotic.

At least in programs with a lot of course choice, a GPA largely measures a student's ability to pick courses in which they will achieve high marks, and punishes students who challenge themselves.
