Anscombe's Quartet

Four data sets with the same descriptive statistics, yet very different distributions The four datasets composing Anscombe's quartet. All four sets have identical statistical parameters, but the graphs show them to be considerably different Anscombe's quartet comprises four datasets that have nearly identical simple descriptive statistics, yet have very different distributions and appear very different when graphed. Each dataset consists of eleven (x, y) points. They were constructed in 1973 b

Apple trained an LLM to teach itself good UI code in SwiftUI

In a new study, a group of Apple researchers describe a very interesting approach they took to, basically, get an open-source model to teach itself how to build good user interface code in SwiftUI. Here’s how they did it. In the paper UICoder: Finetuning Large Language Models to Generate User Interface Code through Automated Feedback, the researchers explain that while LLMs have gotten better at multiple writing tasks, including creative writing and coding, they still struggle to “reliably gene

The Bus Station That Didn't Exist, and Other Data Epiphanies

“Data is multidisciplinary” is my mantra—it’s 2025, and I’ve now worked 20 years in every possible flavour of data—data visualization, open data advocacy, data pipelines in healthcare, data-driven national-scale services, AI innovation, and more. Whatever the application or project, my take on data literacy is the fundamental ability to challenge your own assumptions about the data you have or don’t, the appropriateness in using it, the ethics of your application, and ask yourself: is there a di

Hierarchical Reasoning Model – 1k training samples SoTA reasoning v/s CoT

Hierarchical Reasoning Model Reasoning, the process of devising and executing complex goal-oriented action sequences, remains a critical challenge in AI. Current large language models (LLMs) primarily employ Chain-of-Thought (CoT) techniques, which suffer from brittle task decomposition, extensive data requirements, and high latency. Inspired by the hierarchical and multi-timescale processing in the human brain, we propose the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM), a novel recurrent architecture t

A staggering 16 billion logins exposed in epic data breach, including Apple accounts

Security researchers have discovered what they describe as “one of the largest data breaches in history,” comprising a staggering 16 billion logins, which include Apple accounts (formerly known as Apple IDs). The researchers said that the stolen data gives cybercriminals “unprecedented access to personal credentials that can be used for account takeover, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing” … You may recall a report last month that Apple login credentials were among a massive database

Spatializing 6k years of global urbanization from 3700 BC to AD 2000

Transcription Chandler’s book includes population data from 2250 BC to AD 1975 in various charts and tables. The book contains 656 9×5.5 inch pages and is divided into multiple sections, including Sources and Methods, Continental Tables and Maps (highlighting locations of major cities as illustrated in Fig. 4), Data Sheets for Ancient Cities (the main tables of the book shown in Fig. 1), Tables of the World’s Largest Cities, and Whereabouts of Unfamiliar Cities. Each page in the Data Sheets for
