On top of all this, last I checked, CRAN didn't even store binary Linux packages (??!) which requires Posit Package Manager and some extra setup. Python's ecosystem (PyPI + uv) on the contrary works a lot smoother.

For internal codebases I agree - it's kind of nice to minimize API changes and run reverse dependency checks.

But for majority of other uses, the CRAN's rules (last I check doesn't even enforce linting/testing) seems like a solution to a problem needing proper package/R binary management (e.g. uv).

Last time I did it my letter was rejected because it was not "signed, dated and was not on an official letterhead". I uploaded it to an automated system from my own account... so I ended up using my company's official Word template and scribbled my signature lol. These places are in another timeline

Reply them with your hourly consulting fee. 😜

I hope he doesn't get demoted to Red Bull.

Same here! I just learned recently of some Linux distros with pre-installed nVidia drivers. I will try Nobara soon: nobaraproject.org on a separate hard drive.

I don't play many games nowadays so if it can run World of Warcraft, I am good to go!

Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing finds Lenovo Legion Go S gets better frame rates running Valve’s free operating system.

Looks like Linux is becoming to-go OS even for gaming: arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

There's a function in R in a fairly popular package with a cyclomatic complexity of 1989. 😂

Virtually every data science job description involves Python, whereas not so many R. Maybe that's big part of it.

Thanks, ChatGPT! 😜

"AI uses neural nets which is what our brains also do"

I mean... the two things are named the same. Doesn't mean they are the same.

Yeah. They could call it... Safari. 🙄

Is he installing it in... a system Python environment? 😬

That code screams ChatGPT 😅

So THAT'S what they meant when they said "PhD-level AI".

After a glass of this brandy, you'll only ever remember your very last thought!

You broke it lol

Insightful!

(Sorry, had to. 😅)

Gotta get those clicks! 🙄

Literally could've said I use such and such browser for this cool feature.

I mean it already feels like that on Facebook and LinkedIn... 🤷

The main example for multilevel models is actually very similar to your example , I think it's about coffee shops!

@rmcelreath.bsky.social has a book Statistical Rethinking with Multilevel modeling chapter. Explains better than I can remember right now. The book is an S tier.

Ha I wish! Good luck with that.

Oh man I can't wait for all those resources to go into Clippy v2.0. It will completely dwarf the impact of JWST and nuclear fusion research!

Synology Drive/Photos for storage on local NAS. For email, I have been trying out Protonmail and looks pretty good so far.

So... is this like MS Encarta but free?

Why are there pools of partially melted butter in those mashed potatoes? 🤔

The final patch better be 3.14.159

Watch it be a Python script with import sklearn lol
