TLDR: Pandas are dope fiends!?

TIL that Pandas aren't born loving bamboo, but that it's an addiction with a dopamine component.

Those cute furry pandas are actually carnivores.

But they sit on their butts all day eating plants and getting high instead of chasing animals.

"some of the bamboo-derived miRNAs were found to regulate dopamine pathways, driving food motivation and the reward system linked to it. So if eating bamboo is a pleasurable, satisfying experience for a panda, it's more likely to be solely driven to seek out this trigger." newatlas.com/biology/pandas-ba

New Atlas · Pandas "tricked" into becoming the world's biggest bamboo fansBuilt to be carnivorous, giant pandas spend up to 16 hours a day on their backsides eating bamboo. But contrary to all the panda jokes, it's not because they're lazy or too dumb to know better. It's far more fascinating – and it may help humans, too.

How do I correctly apply Pandas' 'infer_objects' function?

I try the following example in #Pandas 2.2.3:

```
outage_mask = pd.Series(([True]*5 + [False]*5)*5, index=pd.date_range("2025-01-01", freq="1h", periods=50))
[ts for ts in outage_mask.loc[outage_mask.diff().fillna(False)].index]
```

This gives me a warning about downcasting object dtype arrays on 'fillna'. I cannot figure out how to apply the suggested 'infer_objects' correctly 🤔

Mastodon.social alt text analysis report! 🧐

Me and my friend Cristal just published a report on image description usage on mastodon.social, as a group project for the Introduction to Data Science course of the Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Societies Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program.

Thoughts and feedback are welcome 💕

A huge thanks to @stefan for publishing the dataset on which we based our analysis!

NOTE: We are absolutely aware that the report has very little actual relevance, as the dataset contains a super limited amount of posts from one instance only. It was mainly an experimentation to test our data analysis skills.

I spent the last two days coding bepp, my first #Python project.

Its use case that is so specific I think nobody else will ever use it except me.

The tool is meant to clean up and merge together transaction summaries from Banca Etica and PayPal, exporting them in a simple #CSV.

Even though it’s a tiny silly script, I am very proud of it and I feel that I could create anything I set my mind to, now!

Thanks to my Introduction to Data Science course, that finally made me start learning Python with the time and dedication it deserves (my project for the course is very interesting too, will post about it in a few days).

Hey #DataScience people!

I am about to start my first “Introduction to Data Science” course at #University, and our professor asked us to team up and think about a project that we want to do.

Nevertheless, since I don’t know anything about the topic yet, I would really appreciate any tips of entry-level data science projects that I could do with #OpenData #DataSets in #Python!

Probably, we will be using #pandas. Since you’re here, any additional learning resources or general suggestions are much welcome, too!

Thanks ❤️👾

Here's the current status as of 7:50 AM. It says the plane will arrive 6 minutes early.

Giant pandas, welcome to DC, where no good deed goes unpunished. Arrive early, but then you have to wait for a gate to open up, then wait even longer for your luggage because you went to a new gate!
