Is agile the right approach for cross-functional teams of AI researchers and software developers? Here's what I learned from 10 years of leading such teams

Very cool library!

As alternatives I might recommend hipsterplot (the name) or uniplot (very similar but lighter, I'm the author).

That's right, I'm using the 2x2 characters and some off-center horizontal line characters.

Note aware of Unicode expansions, though more and more fonts seem to support the above.

Sparklines in the terminal sounds very cool, did you end up coding something?

Note that one other popular alternative (see for example the Unicode plotting lib for Julia) is using Braille characters, which probably have an even better support across fonts

Thanks for the question! So the labels only depend on the limits of the plotting window, which you can supply as a keyword option. In that sense, and together with using the same gridlines options, you could have the same background in some sense.

What uniplot cannot do today is to have multiple vertical axis (like weight and head circumference in your example).

Hope this helps!

P.S.: Regarding your PDF question, for that in fact I think that some plotting library to graphics (rather than the terminal) might be better

Thanks! Do let me know if you are still looking for any particular feature

Speaking as a pytorch user, many of the steps in your Readme example remind me of the usual setup except the pipeline.run() handoff which is replaced by eager evaluation in pytorch.

Are you seeing something like an eager mode for your library, or perhaps a pytorch plugin that might use your apis?

I'm guessing that's because they measured the return rate of institutions:

"Wallets were returned to one of five societal institu- tions: (i) banks, (ii) theaters, museums, or other cultural establishments, (iii) post offices, (iv) hotels, and (v) police stations, courts of law, or other public offices."

Whatever test you do, you would need to know the total number of visitors in each group, right?

And unless I missed it the article doesn't state those numbers.

Intuitively, the numbers you quoted would be more significant the bigger the test and control groups are.
