Mapping Tolkien’s Middle Earth With MiddleEarth R Package

I’m super excited to share my first R package I’ve developed! It uses data from the ME_DEM project, and allows you to easily access geospatial data for mapping Tolkien’s Middle Earth and bringing it to life!

You can download the package here:
https://github.com/austinw8/MiddleEarth

In the future, I plan to add some functions that allow you to input names or regions and have it instantly mapped for you. Stay tuned 😄

Also, a huge thank you to Andrew Heiss and his blog for helping me put this together.

Summer Tournament Poker Data Around The WSOP 2023 And 2024

Here is a fun one I collected. This is poker data from every property in Las Vegas that ran a poker tournament series during the World Series of Poker. Aria, Wynn, MGM, Venetian, Orleans, Golden Nugget, Caesars, and Resorts World. The data is fun to play around with if you know a bit about poker. I believe Rake (what the casino takes form the buyin to help pay for everything) was actually lower percent this year. How do entries in regular old No Limit Hold’em events do compared to last year. Was there are rise in mixed game attendance?

Have fun with it.

Interested In Social Media Data? We Released A LLM-powered SM Digital Twin [self Promotion]

Hi everyone! Together with my research group, I’ve been working on a project for the past few months, and I think it might interest you all.

YSocial is a digital twin of a social network platform that improves the simulation of dynamic social interactions by integrating large language model (LLM) agents.

You can design your own scenario with LLM agents and describe them using multiple features, such as their political leaning, age, personality traits, interests, and more. Agents will interact on a topic of discussion (e.g., politics, sports) and according to a desired follower/content recommender system. Additionally, you can even make them discuss news extracted in real-time by RSS feeds!

For now, we have observed that many real-world phenomena emerge (without us forcing them), e.g., influencers, viral content, long-tailed distributions for users’ connections, etc.

This is just a sneak-peak of all YSocial features, you can read more on the website!

YSocial is on Github, open and free for everyone! Feel free to give us some feedback and contribute to the project. There is also a preprint available on ArXiv and a website with some pre-made scenarios you can test.

European Cars Data Set For School Work

I’m looking for EU (& US) cars data and specs but don’t find any dumps. Can someone have something to share on can give me some link. I feel strange that car, rim or tyre website has information but I cannot find anything. Are they all using APIs to service providers?

Even have question about VIN decoders websites, are there any files not APIs.

Basically interested in basic car data- measures, 0-100, max speed, fuel consumption etc.

I have school project that I would like to accomplish.
