Very happy that our review article "Dual-process theory and decision-making in large language models" has been published in Nature Reviews Psychology, with Oliver Brady, Lili Zhang, Tomas Ward and David McGovern @DP_McGovern (link below..)
Polars is a very fast DataFrame library for python with clean syntax and lazy evaluation - this course is a great guide to doing data analysis in python with polars.

What's the fastest way to get going with Polars?
The Data Analysis with Polars course I'm launching today on udemy:
udemy.com/course/data-analys…
I've priced the course to be accessible for all - it's just $15 at the moment.
Tomorrow evening I'm talking in-person @BirkbeckUoL for #BEIWeek about opportunities for applying natural language processing methods to research questions in social science and the humanities. Details here: bbk.ac.uk/events/remote_even…

The @greenparty_ie should go into government right now and make this a condition. We could completely reimagine and restructure congested Irish cities - particularly Dublin - now and have it done BEFORE people go back to work! #seizethemoment

We've seen before that LMs can do zero-shot learning. What I find most exiting about this is the quality of the generated samples. These are the most coherent, long-form LM samples I've seen so far.
