- You’ve heard of the AIC and the BIC, but now it’s time for the TIC.
- In Pope Safety Engineering, the TIC is an inverse of MTBP (Mean Time Between Popes) the standard measure of Papal Infallibility. Continuous-time models are the expected value of a PDF (Pope Density Function). Simplified models may add a Mitre parameter, λ, to express a constant pope failure rate.
- The Pope Density Function is derived from the immaculate convolution.
- Thanks to all the panelists, facilitators, and participants who helped make this event a success. (Especially the @openscapes.bsky.social team!) In a grim time, I was heartened by the advice, wisdom, positive energy, and mutual support everyone had to share.
- 📣 Current and former #USgov data scientists! Join @ropensci.org + @openscapes.bsky.social on May 6 for a community support and networking event: ropensci.org/events/datas... Co-hosted by former feds (NOAA, NASA, DOE, NSF, NIH + Federal Reserve) to discuss their paths to other sectors. #dataBS
- This is a great update on the state of tools for web maps.
