It's here!

"Publish and run Python and R scripts on Posit Connect"

https://docs.posit.co/connect/news/#posit-connect-2024.04.0

Before, if you wanted an R script on Connect (for example, to take advantage of Connect's scheduler), you had to publish it as a .Rmd or .qmd file. No longer.

I had no idea at the time how @Posit's conference in 2019 would change my life. Some events are like keyholes that open doors to areas of life you never expected. That is the Posit conference. If you are part of an underrepresented group, apply for a scholarship that includes travel, lodging, and conference costs. Apply by midnight March 22 https://posit.co/blog/posit-conf-2024-announcement/ #rstats #python #datascience

Noticing a pattern in the freelance projects I'm picking up. I'd put them in 2 buckets:

1. Interactive viz, apps, dashboarding (modern camp)

2. Building and automating ppt, excel, & pdf reports (old school camp)

Data visualizations live and breathe in different mediums, and I appreciate them all 😊

Job opening. I am happy to chat with anyone who has serious interest in customer success, open-source data science, public sector, and @Posit. In fact, you'll be filling my role because I just moved from customer success to sales. https://posit.co/about/careers/ #jobs

whenever i write "in git, a merge commit has 2 parents", I always get "well, actually..." replies saying that a merge commit can have more than 2 parents.

but have you ever done a merge with more than 2 parents? why? (I haven't!)

Two big things I learned from Michael Lewis’s immensely interesting and unfairly maligned book about Sam Bankman-Fried:

1. There are ethical consequences to overthinking ethical questions

2. Quants are no better suited to solving hard modern problems than artists and philosophers

#RStats flexdashboard has come to Quarto! I've been waiting so long. I grabbed a small dataset from NOAA about gray whales and whipped up a quick dashboard in Quarto, https://jeremydata.quarto.pub/gray-whale-sightings/. Grab the pre-release of Quarto and give it a shot, https://quarto.org/docs/dashboards/. These are so fun! 😍 🐋

The web in 2023: trying to read an article but by the third paragraph you’re blocked by:

• A cookie disclosure notification

Whenever I explain my #research at Google into mobile text editing, I'm usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile "Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What's the problem?"

Text editing on mobile isn't ok. It's actually much worse than you think, an invisible problem no one appreciates. I wrote this post so you can understand why it's so important.

My skill: making large bits of metal smaller. At least until they fit in my garage. It started as a 16’ trailer. Now it’s 13’. And fits better 🤣

One form of #AI criticism is obviously true and also not helpful. This form focuses on the fact that today’s #LLM lack important features of human intelligence and that humans are in danger of being misled by model outputs. What these criticism rarely if ever address is the fact that human intelligence is often flawed and dangerous. The criticisms, while often true, are not helpful when they simply imply that sticking with human intelligence is the way to avoid harm. That’s laughably false.
