Used ~20 spare minutes here & there + 20 iterative ChatGPT prompts (o3-mini-high) to build a proof-of-concept Shiny app for cigar search & storage. App generates detailed cigar profiles with a classic lounge vibe. Results are not consistent, but it’s a fun #Rstats #Shiny experiment. API required.

Bluesky on the rise among publishers. On the other hand, AI is getting into the news scene as journalists and media platforms lose their popularity and trust. Interesting times in 2025. (Study by Reuters Institute + Oxford University) reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/sites/defaul...

It takes time to build healthy git habits. Takes one vacation from coding to forget git exists and remember that you didn't commit 1045 diffs later. True story! 😭

I do appreciate the new #positron app from @posit.co but my question is if there is any integration for #rstats on self-hosted R servers. I get how to connect to my server, but ho can I run persistent sessions? i.e. leave code running on server and close pc as we do now with #Rstudio server.

Comparing ChatGPT search and Google across 62 diverse queries, both showcase unique strengths. ChatGPT search better in content gap analysis and disambiguation queries, while Google outperformed in most other categories, particularly in handling locally oriented searches.
