It's cool to create a really nice visualization. But you know what's also cool? Submitting data and seeing all the visualizations you never thought possible!

If each of my followers contributes just one dataset we'll be good for a few years 🙌🏻

Let's help @jonthegeek.com out! 📈

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

The Whole Game is all you need

TidierErrors.jl now has an #rstats counterpart in {errbud}, your local LLM-powered tool for decrypting error messages in R, thanks to @randy.pub.

No more settling for “object of type `builtin` is not subsettable”

It even looks to see what packages are loaded!

github.com/rdboyes/errbud

broom::tidy is all you need

some light teasing for an upcoming quarto revealjs plugin I have been working on

janitor::clean_names is all you need

Maybe the proper way with an LLM trained on matplotlib? Lol

Try facetting with plotnine, altair, or seaborn 🤗

Hey, I have a tentative talk planned!

Remember ggpal2? A speedrun package built on chores (fka pal) to help you build nice plots.

I updated the system prompts over the weekend, next is constructing the talk.

What is the #1 thing you want to know about ggpal2?

The last 10% are solved by LightGBM or CatBoost

Small code example here, which will grow into a new detailed vignette.

Yes, I think @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social will write some new vignettes to touch on this.

Here's initial testing with many trees:

Howdy!! Yes, that was me 😂

uv is extremely fast lol like what

CRAN release? · Issue #439 · catboost/catboost Problem: {No CRAN released version} Is there a particular reason that there is no version of catboost released to the CRAN ecosystem for R?

I am starting the after party 🎉

github.com/catboost/cat...

Yes!

ML IS JUST IF STATEMENTS AND BASIC ALGEBRA. THEY HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU THIS WHOLE TIME

I successfully combined XGBoost + orbital + duckdb today

Wait, am I reading this correctly????

Great job resurrecting! It took a few weeks to stick with me but now I'm like "pydy, 🥧D, PIEEEE DEEEEE!!!"

pyproject.toml are real slick. If you are an R developer, you'll start to figure out it's just like a DESCRIPTION file and can throw together a python package prototype in a day or so.

This is my third python package of the year 😳😱
