The revenge of the data scientist

The revenge of the data scientist, despite its provocative title, earned only 20 points and 1 comment—60% fewer points than #9. This contrarian take argues that data analysis, not model training, is the real value proposition, but it failed to spark discussion (1 comment versus the thread's 15). A new C++ back end for ocamlc—20 points, 1 comment—was the day’s most esoteric story, a pure compiler-engineering note that only the OCaml faithful cared about, ranking it the least discussed item on this list.
