@ericmann If you're in Oregon, it looks like the slavery ban passed handily. The health care measure is behind but still too close to call.
Ah, so you're an #RStats user? name every package then
Hi, my name is Rodney Smith, and this is the Watch It Played Mastodon account! For some reason, I always mistype it as Mastadon by default, so that's going to be a fun thing to unlearn.
Our team makes videos to help you discover, learn and play games over on our YouTube channel.
The bird site was the main social media platform I used. Keen to explore an alternative and find some of my friends from there over here - and make some new ones!

Local election win: we're going to have #RankedChoiceVoting in elections in #Portland #Oregon!
Too bad it wasn't already in place statewide. The governor's race is a nail-biter, and we'll never know the second choices of the 8%+ of people who voted for the unaffiliated candidate.
Things look bad for Jamie McLeod-Skinner for US House District 5, but there are still plenty of votes left to count.
You all are smart and interesting, so I'd love to hear some #book recommendations! Here are some of my favorites that I've read in the last year or so.
- Exhalation #TedChiang
- A Psalm for the Wild-Built #BeckyChambers
- How High We Go in the Dark #SequoiaNagamatsu
- A Memory Called Empire #ArkadyMartine
- The Goldfinch #DonnaTartt
- finished The Expanse series by #JamesSACorey
- continuing to enjoy the Dagger and Coin series #DanielAbraham
@sarahbana The problem is that I don't know how to reproduce the issue.
The headline is interesting, and adversarial attacks on #AI are a real thing, but this looks like a cheap trick:
It depends on KataGo not even looking ahead two moves to the reply to its pass. It almost seems like a rules dispute, where KataGo is assuming (as is the case in normal human games) that dead stones will be removed at the end of the game. If the adversary is claiming those lone black stones are alive, some sort of dispute resolution system should kick in.
I'm using Google #Colab (cloud-hosted #Jupyter notebooks) in my first-year seminar where students are learning #Python.
A couple of them are reporting that their work is not being saved and they have to redo it. I can't tell what happened because, of course, I don't find out until after the fact. Frustrating for me and, I'm sure, much moreso for them.
@Pat Visible beams of sunshine. It's worth doing the image search.
1. Epic crepuscular rays on the way in to work.
2. Honey Dijon Kettle Chips.
3. FINALLY got to burn the new Fire Arts members.
@timnitGebru ... and if you subscribe to this helpful bot, it will remind you when you forget:
@ashwinvis We don't have a name for the project.
There are a few student posters:

We're working on another publication soon. The code is undergoing revision, but I hope to be able to share a repo in the coming months.
"Is Web3 bullshit?"
My talk on the Crypto stage at Web Summit 2022.
Mastodon (the band) is probably wondering why they're suddenly so popular.
