Elevate your Data Visualization Skills with ChatGPT

(Images made by author with DALL·E) Data visualization is a powerful way to convey insights from raw data. Python’s robust visualization libraries make it possible to create informative charts. However, creating impactful visualizations with these tools can be time-consuming and challenging. This is where chatbots like ChatGPT become invaluable. In this post, we will illustrate how ChatGPT can…

he looks a bit weird when zoomed out, but when you zoom in

he's just a little guy

I would've made this more high quality but uh, I don't think it liked me putting in so many numbers

thinking about how a boxplot variation is called box and whisker plot, and that maybe I should plot a cat in it

There are so many actual play podcasts! Is that just because this is tumblr? Like people here are more likely to suggest those (we're all nerds after all), or are there really just a huge percentage of actual play podcasts in general??

I'm guessing this is Tumblr's bias, but I don't actually know what a true representative sample of podcasts overall would look like.

Of the 474* podcasts posted so far:

59.9% (284) are Nonfiction

8.0% (38) are Actual Plays

30.8% (146) are Fiction (but not APs)

And 1.3% (6) I was unable to categorize.**

These box-and-whisper plots come from the 453* polls that have finished. In general, Tumblr has not heard of most podcasts. We have heard non-AP fiction podcasts slightly more than actual plays, and all types of fiction have better numbers than the nonfiction results.

Given that it's a running complaint that news media loves to talk about fiction podcasts like they're brand new at least once a year, despite the fact that Radio Drama Revival has been going on since 2007(!), I would hazard a guess that 40% of all podcasts in total are not fiction podcasts. However, it is possible that news media has their own bias towards podcasts like the ones they put out.

I don't know where one would get more representative data. I kinda don't remember how sampling is supposed to work from my statistics classes. (Sorry to my professors! One of you were excellent! This is my fault not yours!) iTunes is obviously the go-to, but they didn't have a "fiction" category for years so a lot of older podcasts are under different genres. "Arts" was pretty popular, but I know actual plays often tend towards "comedy" and additionally that podcasts about games are often under "leisure".

So overall, I don't know but I would guess that this is a sample specific to the Tumblr population.

*The duplicated podcast has been removed from these charts.

**If someone would like to help me categorize these, I've listed them below the cut.

Bonus: I was surprised that so far we've posted not one, but two actual play musicals! Mythic Thunderlute and bomBARDed!

Podcasts I would like help categorizing!

Pounded In The Butt By My Own Podcast

Creepypodsta

Fictional

Sleep and Sorcery

Get Sleepy

Siblings Peculiar

Wait hold on we have Morrison Mysteries (our first poll!) listed as nonfiction and true crime, but is this actually fiction and books/literature/mystery?

put in the tags/explain why if you feel like

personally I love me a good box plot

[chekhovsdisconnectedwormbell]

currently listening to self-ish by will wood and the tapeworms to make myself anxious on purpose, so that i can fight-or-flight myself into getting all my silly little tasks done by the end of the day

Here, Have a Song That's Been Running Around In My Brain For the Last Several Days

It’s very pleasant drum n’ bass electronica with ethereal vocals, what’s not to love? For more of Boxplot, here is their Bandcamp page (which also features this single). For Honeycrush (the vocalist), here’s her Bancamp page. And now back to novel writing for me. Hello! Hope you’re well. — JS

12) chipped nail polish and an empty dinner table is giving chiara vibes

Andy once again coming through with the prompts in my time of need 😌🫶🏽 Thank you lovely!

Using this prompt as an excuse to give some Chiara lore, some origin story, under the cut

The sad thing is, this isn’t even close to the worst canceled family dinner that Chiara has ever had. It’s honestly just another typical Tuesday night out in Forest Hills. In the St. Claire household, that is. Chiara has never been inside the homes of any of her neighbors, and therefore has no evidence supporting her hypothesis that her homelife is an outlier when considered next to those of everyone else in her neighborhood. 

God, how pathetic – using a comparison like that to rationalize loneliness. Maybe she’s been working on this math homework for too long, has made one too many boxplots for one night. All the numbers are stacking up, and Chiara’s mind is beginning to feel as disorganized as the kitchen table, with her homework and textbooks and scrap papers spread all over it. And somewhere beneath it all is the note, the reason for this whole thing, buried deep in the mess like some sort of metaphor, the root of tonight’s problems.

Urgent meeting out of town, back in two days. Call if you need me  – XO, Mom

Chiara drums her fingers against the table, the vibrations traveling up her arm in a way that’s almost as comforting as the noise. It’ll chip her nail polish, though, she knows. And then she’ll be annoyed with herself. But that’s a problem for tomorrow’s Chiara, who will notice the chipped paint when she zones out in her second period AP Lit class when she should be reading along in Wuthering Heights. If she’s being honest, though, mourning her paint job is much more appealing than listening to her classmates misinterpret Heathcliff’s character. Or finishing this math homework. Or just about anything else relating to school. 

“Alright,” she breathes. “Focus, St. Claire –”  

Almost as if the universe doesn’t want her to focus, like God is sending her a sign that she should abandon her math homework, a metallic clanging from outside interrupts Chiara’s peptalk. It’s followed by the chittering sound of animals who seem all too pleased with themselves. 

The next thing she knows, Chiara is outside in the driveway, staring at the raccoons who have overturned the trashcan on the edge of the sidewalk and are happily pilfering through the garbage that they’ve managed to scatter everywhere. 

“Hey!” she yells, her hand outstretched, a shadow loosening from her fingertips and flying in the direction of the creatures before she realizes what she’s doing. It ricochets off the garbage can with a metallic pop! that sends them scattering – or maybe it’s just the way her eyes glow bright and purple, which is terrifying for anyone, human or not. “We’re gonna get fined by the HOA because of you!”

She feels bad as soon as the words are out of her mouth, as soon as she realizes how much she’s scared them. They’re just raccoons, after all. This is their nature. They don’t know any better. 

But as she watches them flee, as the glow in her eyes dies down, Chiara surveys the wreckage. Across the street, at the house next door, the trash cans have also become casualties of this raccoon family’s dinnertime prowl. Unknowingly, these little bandits have just put three different houses on the HOA president’s shitlist, unless they get the mess picked up by morning when the garbage truck comes. 

It’s kind of like what happened to the city after the Battle of New York, Chiara reasons as she picks up the garbage littering her driveway. Someone else makes a mess, but they don’t stick around to pick it up, to face the actions of their own consequences, to make it right. No – someone else gets stuck doing all of that because everyone moves on to bigger and better things, leaving the little guy to fend for himself. 

And in places like this, aren’t the regular, everyday people the littlest of the little guys? The lowest priority on the radar of people –  

People like Chiara. 

She stops what she’s doing, sitting back on her heels, the thought stunning her. She, Chiara St. Claire, could do something for the people that everyone else has forgotten about. Well, she can do something for her neighborhood, at least. After all, she’s pretty sure that raccoons breaking into garbage cans and kids TP-ing houses isn’t exactly an Avengers level threat. But those things do drive her neighbors crazy, and if she wanted to, she could probably stop them pretty effectively . . . 

If nothing else, it would give her something to do. Besides homework and having dinner alone, that is. 

Once the garbage from her own driveway is picked up, Chiara moves on to the house next door. It’s only fair, seeing as the people who live there left for a vacation that morning and don’t even know their garbage cans have been attacked. 

“Well, Forest Hills,” Chiara mutters to herself. “The HOA ladies are always ranting that we need someone to avenge you from the everyday threats.” Someone with a cool name and an even cooler costume; things Chiara could easily work out. “It might as well be me.”

Send me a prompt and an OC, and I'll write a lil fic!

Still can't believe Google Sheets doesn't offer actual box plots. Their "candlestick charts" not only need to be constructed manually but don't have any indicator of what's an outlier or not which is like, 75% of the reason for using a boxplot in the first place.

bref,, bisous bisouuuuuuus ! hope you have a wonderful day :*

[piningbuddies]

using RStudio for data analysis is one of the single most humbling experiences of my entire life like. last year i was known as THE gal for RStudio problems in my extended friend group and now i can't even get a boxplot to work <33333
