It should be at least "Put country first, then ask for zip code".

08036 Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain

08036 Hainesport, New Jersey, USA

It does make some sense to go from most general (country) to more specific (address) instead of the opposite, so the form can implement better auto completions.

However in practice postal addresses are not that clean so simple dumb forms are usually better, because it's easy for exceptions to be missed by auto completion algorithms. I would be very pissed if I had to type the zip code above and then correct the wrong guess on every website.

Either you are helpful and guess correctly or you don't guess at all.

66 days 14 hours and 24 minutes (66.6 days) would have been a far more diabolical hang...

I find that the tricky part of a good data analysis is knowing the biases in your data, often due to the data collection process, which is not contained in the data itself.

I have seen plenty of overoptimistic results due to improper building of training, validation and test sets, or using bad metrics to evaluate trained models.

It is not clear to me that this project is going to help to overcome those challenges and I am a bit concerned that if this project or similar ones become popular then these problems may become more prevalent.

Another concern is that usually the "customer" asking the question wants a specific result (something significant, some correlation...). If through an LLM connected to this tool my customer finds something that it is wrong but aligned with what he/she wants, as a data scientist/statistician I will have the challenge to make the customer understand that the LLM gave a wrong answer, more work for me.

Maybe with some well-behaved datasets and with proper context this project becomes very useful, we will see :-)

Oh shit I wasn't aware that this was the definition. Does this definition then include Philippines being from "The West"?
