This has significantly reduced the amount of "upkeep" work we do in tidymodels. The cli assistant was a massive help in transitioning from rlang warnings/errors to the cli versions.

This looks like a lot of fun

Woohoo more tidymodels users! 🚀 Some helpful resources I should have mentioned yesterday: tmwr.org aml4td.org emlwr.org feaz-book.com

I’m usually unhappy with the results of R code formatters but I really like air. Give it a try!

New #rstats pkg gander is now on CRAN! gander is a coding assistant that knows how describe the objects in your global R environment. So, when you're working with data, LLMs will know the names, types, and distributions of data columns, resulting in much more effective completions.

www.garrickadenbuie.com/project/tidy... This is awesome for teaching #Rstats

I've referenced this paper a few times and never realized what a wild ride the citation shows

hi there friends 🌸 it’s @isabelizimm.bsky.social here hosting your weekly rocur!!! 👩🏻‍💻 im a software engineer @ @posit.co where i work on the #positronIDE 🌴 live in florida, usa 🐶 my dog, toast, knows ~35 tricks 🫶 if i was on a deserted island and could only bring 1 data science tool, it’d be #quarto

Hello, I'm new here 👋 I am an #OpenScience and reproducibility nerd and love helping researchers improve the way they do research. I'll post about open research, data and code. And sometimes bicycles 🚲 😉 I co-founded the @digiresacademy.bsky.social 💜

I’m sorting through hundreds of intern applications and this is the advice that I’d give every one of them (minus about 10 candidates). *Especially* github repos.

R-Ladies Urmia have their Book club: Tidy Modeling With R meetup with Sima Ghahrenabu Dehbokri Saturday 12:15pm - 13:15pm UTC www.meetup.com/rladies-urmi... #rladies #rstats #tidymodels #machinelearning

Ok, who sent this version of an #rstats package to win-builder? > Error: object 'survfit' is not exported by 'namespace:survival' Until CRAN figures it out, anyone using win-builder to check their package will have a failure if they use the survival package. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With the market & AI mythos reeling post-DeepSeek, it seems like a good time to reup this year-old paper, on the perils of the "bigger is better" approach to AI, coauthored with @sashamtl.bsky.social + @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2409.14160

Excited to share gander by @simonpcouch.com, a fast, seamless LLM chat tool for RStudio and Positron! 🪿 It connects with your #RStats session to describe your code, data frames, and environment. Supports GPT-4o, Claude, ollama, and more. Try it today: simonpcouch.github.io/gander/

Around this time tomorrow I'll be giving a free, virtual talk for the Salt Lake City R User Group focused on 4 optimizations you can make to your #rstats code to drastically cut down on the time to train machine learning models. Please do come by.🏎️ Learn more: www.meetup.com/slc-rug/even...

Applications for opportunity scholarships for posit::conf(2025) are open & due by Feb 21. posit.co/blog/apply-t... Want to apply, but unsure what to say? Send your draft to the RLadies review system & we'll help you refine your application! airtable.com/appJadVolZxo... #rstats #rladies

We've added an article about RStudio's Rproj files and how to adapt related workflows, if you're starting to kick the tires on Positron. If this interests you, check it out 👀 positron.posit.co/rstudio-rpro... #rstats #rstudio #positron

Our friend and colleague Fritz Leisch died in April last year. In a new contribution to The R Journal we honor Fritz and commemorate his many contributions to science in general and to the R community in particular. #rstats journal.r-project.org/articles/RJ-...

We’re thrilled to offer Opportunity Scholarships for posit::conf(2025)! These aim to support folks typically underrepresented at similar confs. If you know anyone who'd be a good candidate – perhaps you! – apply by Feb 21: pos.it/opp-scholar-2025 #DataScience #positconf2025 #rstats #pydata

@maxkuhn01.bsky.social and the tidymodels team are looking for an intern: "This year, the primary focus is on expanding our feature selection capabilities." www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/01... #rstats

I flipped to today's page and... sadly prophetic.

Happy Battle of Hayes Pond Day! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...

This is great!

Simon is making fantastic low-key #rstats ai tools to solve reasonable problems.

Please don't write software that hijacks all CPU cores by default. Here's a shared compute server with 48 cores where the #java, #python and #MATLAB processes defaults to using all the cores, bringing this machine to a full stall. The users are not to be blamed here #Linux #parallel #rstats

The tidymodels group has an #rstats summer internship position this year. The focus is on feature selection tools. All of the information is in the blog post below. We look forward to seeing your applications! www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/01...

How I sometimes feel working on "traditional" machine learning topics instead of generative AI stuff 😂

Abstract submission and registration are now open for the 2025 Nonclinical Biostatistics Conference (June 16-18) At Rutgers University. I’m conducting an #rstats workshop called “Making Project Work Better with R”. community.amstat.org/biop/events/...
