The new PostgreSQL extension for VScode is amazing! 
The VSCode team recently released a new extension for working with Postgres, and its features are mind-blowing. This includes the following features:
Support both connections to local and cloud-based Postgres databases Schema visualizations 
Copilot SQL agent Docker supports 
SQL editor

MacOS 26 will add its own "Containerisation Framework"
"The Containerisation framework enables developers to create, download, or run Linux container images directly on Mac. It’s built on an open-source framework optimised for Apple silicon and provides secure isolation between container images."
This could be useful for Data Science folk using Macs for reproducible analytical pipelines and building for production. Docker competition?

What do a baby learning to walk and AlphaGo’s legendary Move 37 have in common?
They both learn by doing — not by being told.
That’s the essence of Reinforcement Learning.
It's great to see that my article on Q-learning & Python agents was helpful to many readers and was featured in this week's Top 5 by Towards Data Science. Thanks!

I've only scratched the surface, but I'm glad SQL isn't a mystery anymore. I really recommend the SQLBolt tutorial — it’s free, interactive, and easy to get into.

I asked a Harvard postdoc which skills are essential to thrive as a researcher in AI & Biomedicine:
His answer: Cultivate abstract thinking. Build solid foundations instead of chasing hypes. Think independently, embrace a do-it mindset, stay curious and persistent.
Knowledge is accessible. Thinking is up to us.
What skills are you trying to develop?
I've read more about Q Methodology, and disappointingly, it doesn't involve designing gadgets for a charismatic but problematic spy.
Can visualizing social inequality actually make it worse? 
Nightingale's thought-provoking article explores the dangers of unfair comparisons and offers insights on how to represent data on social inequality in a more ethical and accurate way.
