While I'm still employed for now by the USGS, it seems like the writing on the wall is clear -- I'm officially looking for a new position. I'm a data scientist with 5+ years of experience with #rstats and spatial data, plus experience with Python/Rust/JS, looking for Boston or remote positions.

I haven’t been able to find a way to help with any #DataRescue efforts, but then I remembered I made an #RStats package with the U.S. College Scorecard data last year. So today I updated it with the latest data published early Jan. github.com/gadenbuie/sc...

It's work week at Posit, which means I got to sit down with @jcheng5.bsky.social to talk through some gnarly Shiny internals. A few hours of hacking later and I've solved the source of many bruised shins. autoreload will now fully reload the app when you change support files outside app.R!

What happens when you ask LLMs to judge output from other LLMs? It's a bit chaotic. A light #rstats tidyverse analysis of some data I collected about this: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2025-01...

I can't help but notice that writing a formatter in Rust seems to be the start of a slippery slope toward amazing, lightning-fast tooling. (I'm looking at you, `air` 😉)

My latest project lets you explore the entire commit history of any GitHub repo ✨ Obviously, D3.js was one of the 1st repos I tested. You can clearly see the 3000+ commits made by its creator @ocks.org! But also @fil.rezo.net & many others. nbremer.github.io/ORCA/commit-...

large language model the size of a small LLM

if I may, I think I have a SPECIFIC set of skills on this because I've protected research in highly reactive & conservative contexts. I know this is wild but you generally want to avoid "broadening" and "more universal" and all that. I like "pursuing high value underexploited strategic targets"

LLMs + #RStats are a powerful combo. I wrote a little post about using R to curate GitHub data and {ellmer} to program with LLMs to automate one of my least favorite tasks: remembering what I did this week. www.garrickadenbuie.com/blog/llm-wor...

In all seriousness: the last 2 weeks of TikTok posturing and Zuck grovelling, combined with the X insanity of the last year, should show you that an app with a feed that you don’t control serves other people’s interests - not yours.
