Google Makes Embedding Projector an Open Source Project (betanews.com)
Reader BrianFagioli writes: One of the best way to digest and present data is with visualizations and dashboards. Not everyone is a data scientist, so how you tell a story matters. Today, Google is making a rather nifty data visualization tool an open source project. Called "Embedding Projector", it can show what the search giant calls high-dimensional data. "To enable a more intuitive exploration process, we are open-sourcing the Embedding Projector, a web application for interactive visualization and analysis of high-dimensional data recently shown as an A.I. Experiment, as part of TensorFlow. We are also releasing a standalone version at projector.tensorflow.org, where users can visualize their high-dimensional data without the need to install and run TensorFlow," says Google.
"conspiracy"?
Yeah, an international conspiracy between scientists, thermometer manufacturers, rain dancers, pyromaniac eskimos, Greenpeace and Shell. The whole thing was uncovered by ExxonMobil.
Maybe Google could cram in a few more buzzwords?
Well he thinks dashboards are useless, presumably replaced by a team of PhD statisticians representing all mainstream political platforms and a delegation from the UN representing all sovereign nations to provide every single digested form of raw data easily pushing the exabyte range. Because, you know, all abstractions and simplifications are for climate-conspiracy-mongering libtard cuck snowflakes. Also this is why any programming language that isn't machine assembly is for hipsters and loser neckbeards.
No. Fuck no. Dashboards are universally awful and visualizations range from being acceptable but oversimplified to being tools for outright lying about your data set.
Then maybe you're just doing it wrong, if you're just taking a visualization at face value and then making impactful decisions without looking at the data that supports it then you're an idiot.
But by all means give us some examples of how you've had the wool pulled over your eyes by these visualizations. My bet is you're just another slashdot naysayer desperately trying to find some way to be negative about any kind of new product or technology or project, we see it here all the time.
Hate to disappoint you, but the carbon-dioxide externality cartel is no better at showing their workings. Sometimes I doubt they even have any, unless it resembles a menu at a fancy, five-star French restaurant.
Likewise, I have nothing against smokers, though it sure would be great if they never exhaled.
Yes well it's largely your fault. You and your methane.
