       Moved instances, so it's time for a proper #introduction!I'm Justin. I'm a data journalist who likes making and eating cookies and pastries.I enjoy fiber crafts (sewing, crochet, cross-stitch), have entirely too many books I haven't gotten around to reading, and occasionally dabble in electronics projects. (I was an EE major in college, but I've only worked in newsrooms since then.)Reach out if you're interested in programming (Ruby, Python, R, JS), journalism, or making things!

       @fcktheworld587 @tursiopsBased on the link from @jlj, it looks like it's from the book "Livable Streets" by Donald Appleyard.https://social.nfld.uk/objects/2f8f4edd-0b6a-45be-a831-7cd89a3e0d49The above diagram is on the cover of this posthumous revision:https://www.elsevier.com/books/livable-streets-20/appleyard/978-0-12-816028-2

       @fcktheworld587 @tursiops @jlj And I have a bit of 🤦🏼‍♂️ going on since @tursiops also had that same citation in the original, but I couldn't see it while I was writing my reply. But anyway, still handy to have the links, I hope!

       Solid perspective here from @jeffjarvis. The post is about #ChatGPT, of course, but Jeff does a great job of putting that system in context:"When we blame an algorithm for exhibiting bias we should start with the realization that it is reflecting our own biases. We must fix both: the data it learns from and the underlying corruption in society’s soul."https://medium.com/whither-news/journalism-is-lossy-compression-86380f0bdb50

       We are driving right at the boundary between two radio stations—one playing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the other playing Pharrell's "Happy". Works surprisingly well.
