I feel like I need to be an LLM model expert if each model has all these specific differences, OR, I could keep doing what I'm currently doing, which is not using LLMs in agentic mode at all 😅 just chat

I love looking at wild function code! All the magical feeling of coding is just the clean, abstracted-away-ness of a mature function ecosystem, I think. We just see the clean and sparkly bits haha

Hahaha like those salary ranges that are like $56k-$760k

Privacy and AI Assistants - Posit Many of our LLM tools can execute code and access your files. What does this mean for privacy?

The LLM privacy question comes up (rightly so) on every data community call I'm on. I've had sooo many questions myself. #databs #rstats #pydata

Also, have you seen side::kick in RStudio? simonpcouch.github.io/side/

I want off this ride 😫 I think it's probably made worse by having no sleep. Day 2 is like, ok, no sleep but still better than yesterday! But last night was terrible. I asked my husband how long it took last time for me to sleep through the night, and he said A WEEK 🙈 Gosh, I hope not

Rollercoaster of ups and downs for sure

Hope so! Quickly!

Day of surgery = miserable

Day after = piece of cake in comparison! Anesthesia still kicking in some ways, probably.

Two days after = somehow back to misery? Maybe worse misery? Definitely different misery 😫

It makes an excellent fidget 😂😂 I have a bunch of random keycaps on it, but I would like to get a set of rainbow blank ones just for this

I did see some lunar mares listed somewhere but they were $2/switch, which was a little much, I think

A Gateron brand keyboard switch tester with 35 switches on it

I got the way smaller one! Mine had like 4 tactiles and a few clicky, but the rest are linear, which I just can't seem to do. My favorite is the cap lunar mare, bottom left, but it's out of stock? Like they don't make it anymore. I have a low profile Gateron test set, too.

But they did end up having such a cute name 🥤🥤🥤

Hahaha, YES! I have a bunch of gateron test switches! The Rainy 75 came with violet linears, and they're suuuuper sensitive. I'm a tactile person, so I'm excited to swap them out for the root beers. Almost all the other tactiles I tested were kinda heavy.

I don't think I could adequately explain where all the parts are to my husband for him to bring them to me in bed 😭😂

I waited WEEKS for a new set of key switches to arrive (gateron root beer floats!), & now that they're here, I'm too out-of-it in recovery pain to build my keyboard 🥺 such a tease! It's a #wobkey Rainy 75 board (which is wayy too squishy), carmine cloud keycaps from #Nuphy, and the #gateron switches

I didn't realize Valley of Fear was so long!

Yessss, I love being able to spread my work out over the week and allow myself the space to go to the grocery store during the day on a Tuesday or something!

But but but rounded edges 😭😭😭

Oh my goodness 😂 I hope you like it!! One helpful tip: if you add time before it has started timing, it will actually count DOWN instead of up! So if you're looking to add some time before you start (maybe if you forgot to start it like me), just make sure you let it count up for a few seconds first

All I could ask forrrr

So, PLEASE go do Sherlock TidyTuesday for me this week and maybe I can try to do it later in the week while recovering 🥹

Some things that are true:
1. Tomorrow is #TidyTuesday
2. I am a HUGE fan of the Sherlock books (I've read them all!)
3. TidyTues data this wk is the complete Sherlock Holmes texts
4. I ❤️ NLP
5. I have surgery tomorrow & can't do Tidy/Pydy, which combines this list of my loves 😭

gigiomics is such a cute name!!

Bernadett's #python visualizations are always so good 🤩 so glad we convinced you to join BlueSky, B!! #databs folks, give her a follow! I'm always inspired by the way she chooses to frame her plots, like the MTA plot with the subway station wall as a frame 👩‍🍳💋

I love hex maps, and I've never made one! Except maybe once in grad school using Tableau? 🤔 I can't remember.

Y'all's mapping skills in this map challenge have been so very cool to watch!! You're inspiring me daily, keep it up!! #databs

(I usually use plotly express!)

I've never used Altair! I want to learn!

That might be his point in the article, that the use case of "quick plotting" is better served by a package that abstracts away the complexity for the user, like ggplot2. But so many Python users that I know don't really need to "quickly" plot! Learning R would take longer than just using matplotlib

And if I didn't link to the article that was the context for my commentary, I'm not sure it would make sense 🤔

I also really like using Python for NLP! The package ecosystem there is great
