I’m looking to hire a summer intern that’s interested in #climateris!. If you like natural hazards, finance, and tech this is a great team to be on

I find it helps to patch stuff together across a number of data sources. To be honest, if you have clean datasets it’s probably not needed. But it has its place in the toolbox for messier datasets

I’ve been using edit mode for my #rstats code in position over the last week. Honestly, it feels like magic.

Also, I’d encourage people to apply early if they can!

#CLIMATERISK JOBS
Moody’s RMS has opened up hiring for a bunch of entry level roles in London, NYC and Edinburgh.
These are positions across our model development, customer success (my org), and data science teams. If you are a grad or soon to be grad looking for work this could be for you!

Looks like Apache Sedona has been democratised for smaller datasets and local analyses. Looking forward to making my #rstats code go brrrr πŸ”₯

Home Insurance as You Know It Is Doomed. You’re Not Ready. The remedies for homeowners so far aren’t preparing them for a financially stable existence as the risk of disaster increases.

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world.

In part it’s the reinsurance cycle and we’re in a softening phase there. There’s also a structural softening of financial conditions with interest rates falling.

I’m a big fan of #rstats but I am jealous of all the tools that are built python first.

I seem to be unable to open csvs or parquets using positron directly from file explorer with the β€œopen with” function. Anyone else having this issue #rstats

#rstats has anyone added a new provider to ellmer? I see that it’s doable but I’m hoping to see if someone has blazed that trail for me and I can follow in their footsteps steps.
