Data Science: Converging to Confusion
September 30, 2015
I read “Two Great Visualizations about Data Science.” There is not too much reading involved. The article provides images of two graphics. The more interesting is “another nice picture about the history of big data and data science.”
Note that in the 2010 column, the separate lines of “technology” have converged into what looks to me like a fur ball.
The diagram captures several important ideas.
First, note that Bayes and Bayesian methods have some continuity. Other numerical approaches are important, but that Bayes has created the equivalent of Gorilla Glue.
Second, progress, particularly after 1990, seems to point to visualization. This is, for me, similar to judges awarding a cake with nice looking icing a blue ribbon without tasting the baker’s confection. Appearances are more important than substance.
Third, the end point of the diagram is a circular image which looks like a 1950s atomic diagram from the old Atomic Energy Forum. I think the image looks like a darned confusing diagram.
I think data science and Big Data are more confusing than they were in 2010. The eccentric orbits are becoming more distorted.

Does the reality the property has been used by a Grow Op mean that it really is unsuitable
for habitability. While using incandescent lights for growing plants, do add
100 watts of fluorescent lighting per each 30 watts of incandescent for creating the right balance of red and
blue rays. Led grow lights that work Within time, noisy lights
inside your grow room can be a nuisance.
The project will explore what can happen should you give a plant light, but
