Anecdotally I recently used a very extended Claude conversation to prepare for a job interview and while it prepared me very well I feel like I was "overfitting" to the model and just conforming to the averages.

I wish I knew about this, I've been learning the python data analysis ecosystem recently and this would be an excellent resource. Maybe visibility is your issue.

It didn't work well in safari unfortunately. I use Tableau often so I'd like to see a competitive offering.

Re:About the OS X Yosemite v10.10.4 Update on Tuesday June 30, 2015 @01:19PM (#9806878)
