I'm officially a nigerian dwarf goat farmer 🐐

should i release KaminoTab? 🤔

And it works with {orbital}!

parsnip::set_engine("lightgbm", counts = FALSE, linear_tree = TRUE) is all you need

this was really easy to do. i learned you can publish apps from Positron IDE directly to Posit Connect Cloud in less than a minute 🤯

TabPFN-3-Plus is all you need 🤫

A few months ago, any LLM that I could run on my Macbook scored 0% on an agentic coding eval I put together. This month's Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 4 releases both scored 90%. On my blog: simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-04...

Looks like I'll be in Houston, TX this September 👀

spring cleaning is complete 🧹 finally removed all pipes, tibbles, tidymodels, & R from our tech stack. while R is like, 'um, yeaaa, andd.. coollll?' ? we took a hard look & decided since all data is already in Excel, and now Python is in Excel, we are now doing everything in Excel 💪🏻 plots too!

We've released the first version of our tabpfn #rstats package to CRAN. This is an interface to the Python #TabPFN package. tidyverse.org/blog/2026/03... The model is a pre-trained deep learning model that has performed exceedingly well on every data set I've tested it on.

disclaimer: I am an ambassador for Prior Labs & will speak about TabPFN + other tabular foundation models on here. if you're an R programmer, you can try out the latest & greatest 2.6 via the R binding: tabpfn.tidymodels.org

TabPFN-2.6 is out 🔥 new #1 on TabArena

does something like this exist for tidymodels workflows ❓ like a mermaid + quarto + workflows visual extension tool

expand.grid is all you need

here's a cool article by NASA discussing energy planning in times of "dark calms" & extreme weather events in the USA. the dark calm analysis referenced comes from my team 🙌🏻 power.larc.nasa.gov/article/resi...

Alysa Liu recently went viral for her Teen Vague rant about base R data.frames "a relic that lacks the structural integrity of a well-landed triple axel, data.frames silently corrupts your characters, drown your console, & drop your columns mid-routine. while tibbles stick the landing every time."

yaml12 is all you need

they're a 10 but they don't like tibbles

have a lot of "a data frame, a tsibble, & a tribble" jokes for this week

The kuzco package from @frankiethull.bsky.social made the January 2026 Top 40 CRAN #RStats packages by @revojoe.bsky.social! Congratulations, Frank, on such a great package ❤️🦙 rworks.dev/posts/januar...

Oh sweet, check out this Monthly Roundup from Posit 👀 It mentions my team & we really like regression 😅 more info: posit.co/about/custom...

what a great event! I'm still unpacking all the information shared 🤯 @rconsortium.bsky.social is putting together some awesome conferences & would highly recommend attending these!

great, now we need a unified tabular foundation model interface in R i wonder what the library name would be 🤔

Feb. update to the LLM+R guide 💪 8 new packages including: code review, predictive modeling, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, HuggingFace integration, Gemini CLI companion, a CLI coding agent written in R🤯 ,and more! available in English 🇱🇷 and Spanish 🇲🇽 luisdva.github.io/llmsr-book/ #rstats

I'm very grateful that Luis maintains this guide. Very much recommend to those who haven't poked around there before! #rstats

paste0 is all you need

Risk 2026 is this week, there's still plenty of time to register! Full program here: rconsortium.github.io/Risk_website...

Coffee & @jdlong.cerebralmastication.com to start the day… it’s a good Wednesday

Big shout out to @terrychristiani.bsky.social and team. Great conf.

Thank you @frankiethull.bsky.social !! Much appreciated. Our book is almost finished and we dedicated a chapter to image analysis using local LLMs and it features kuzco 🎉

almost there, debugging the dataloader/training script 🤞🏻

this is pretty cool, might be the best place to start translating to a lilTabPFN in R github.com/automl/nanoT...

My {sqlm} package is now on CRAN! Use lm() syntax for linear modeling with databases. #rstats usrbinr.codeberg.page/sqlm/

tabpfn is all you need

tabpfn is all you need

Whenever I read discourse on AI energy/water use that focuses on the "median query," I can't help but feel misled. Coding agents like Claude Code send hundreds of longer-than-median queries every session, and I run dozens of sessions a day. On my blog: www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-01...

🚨 kuzco is now on CRAN 🚨 cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

parquet is all you need

luz is all you need

torch for R is all you need

came across this really neat repo while researching TFMs github.com/Lexsi-Labs/T...

posit team is all you need
