Я сделал полностью локальный Telegram Wrapped после того, как у меня угнали фейк с тремя переписками

Всем привет, начиная с прошлого лета я потихоньку клепал свою версию Telegram Wrapped.Началось всё максимально тупо.

Data Storytelling на примере нестандартного дашборда: РПЛ и знаки зодиака

Что если задать BI-системе вопрос, который выходит за рамки рутинной аналитики? Будет ли она также эффективна?
