Join us on Tuesday at the Data Science Lab 🧪 We are joined by @sara-altman.bsky.social, who will show us how to explore and analyze data using AI assistants in #RStats or #Python! Feb 3 @ 12 pm ET: pos.it/dslab

We appreciate your use of our free research and bioinformatics resources. If you’re interested in sharing your thoughts, you’re invited to take our survey: xiar7j-itn.shinyapps.io/itn_follow_up/

The ITCR Training Network (ITN) www.itcrtraining.org develops training materials for informatics and research. We have a short survey ~3-9 min about your experience & preferences for learning as a researcher. Previous engagement not required! xiar7j-itn.shinyapps.io/itn_follow_up/

New #rstats blog post: Deep Dive into ellmer: Part 3. I explore the source code behind ellmer's structured data functionality: www.howardbaik.com/posts/deep-d... Thanks to @hadley.nz, @grrrck.xyz, @atheriel.bsky.social, others for 🐘ellmer🐘!

Thank you for attending the #PositConf2025 Shiny session and all of your great questions! I'm excited to see the @opentelemetry.io integrations improve over time 🎉 🗣️: Observability at scale: Monitoring Shiny Applications with OpenTelemetry 🐙: github.com/schloerke/pr... #RStats #RShiny

New #rstats blog post: Deep Dive into ellmer: Part 2. I explore the source code behind ellmer's tool calling functionality: www.howardbaik.com/posts/deep-d... Thanks to @hadley.nz, @grrrck.xyz, @atheriel.bsky.social, others for 🐘ellmer🐘!

I'm hoping you'll join our session on Strengthening the R Ecosystem at posit::conf(2025) on the Thursday morning! Find out about the hottest new thing in the tidyverse: "purrrfectly parallel, purrrfectly distributed" (yes, it's something about cats). #rstats #tidyverse #PositConf2025 pos.it/conf

More #rstats + OpenTelemetry news: @schloerke.com finally got all of the async issues in {ellmer} and {shiny} sorted out and tracing now works! Here's what combining {shiny} + {ellmer} + {httr2} + {mirai} + {otel} looks like today. (All credit for the screenshots to @schloerke.com.)

{otel} + #rstats is becoming a crazy partnership. This project has driven me to use/write {promises} in ways that makes my 🧠 ache 😅. The reward is worth it! See you at #PositConf2025 where I'll talk about this in more detail

#rstats Anyone notice the new "Ask AI" feature on all the tidyverse package websites? 👀👀

I was loving Claude Code... until I tried it with #rstats. Constant errors, wouldn't use the tidyverse even when asked, "optimized" functions were slower. Frustrated, I started a session just to teach R to Claude and summarize what it learned into a CLAUDE.md file gist.github.com/sj-io/3828d6...

Excited to share my newest quarto revealjs plugin: imagemover Easily reposition and resize images directly in your quarto revealjs slides for a much smoother slidecrafting experience github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto

You can watch Hadley's keynote at this link: www.youtube.com/live/ctc2kx3... #useR2025

Code with Claude 👇🏼 This looks like a great playlist. Anthropic released its developer conference. The conference included a variety of talks, keynotes, and tutorials focusing on Anthropic API, tools, MCP, prompt engineering, and vibe coding. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #ai

New #rstats blog post: Deep Dive into ellmer: Part 1. I explore the source code behind ellmer's starter workflow - creating a new Chat object and calling the $chat() method. www.howardbaik.com/posts/deep-d... Thanks to @hadley.nz , @grrrck.xyz, @atheriel.bsky.social, and others for 🐘 ellmer 🐘 !

🐘 ellmer 🐘 makes it easy and fun to use LLMs from #rstats, and 0.3.0 is out now. Read about the new streamlined chat() function, improvements to tool specifications, and more at www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/07....

New blog post! @posit.co Positron doesn't use Rproj files tofor #rstats projects—instead you open folders in the IDE directly. Opening folders can be a little tricky though. This shortcut lets you right click on a folder in macOS Finder to open a it in Positron! www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/07...

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about what folks should know about using LLMs to generate #rstats: I've summarised the feedback with a few of my thoughts at gist.github.com/hadley/77d42...

Putting myself out there a bit. Honest request from an open-source developer: Can I please ask you to encourage people you know to stop with the "any updates on this?" discussion post? Every post like that genuinely makes me die inside a little bit. I'll try to explain in this thread. 1/

Chapter 8: Geographic Data I/O 📂🌍💾 Covers how to read and write spatial data in various formats, access open geoportals, and work with geographic web services in R. Includes tips on metadata and exporting maps. 🔗 https://r.geocompx.org/read-write #rstats #rspatial #geocompx

Here's the full workshop handout plus annotated slides from "Building software on top of Large Language Models", a three hour tutorial I presented yesterday at PyCon US #PyConUS simonwillison.net/2025/May/15/...

🚀 New blog post by Tim Appelhans: State of the (open source) web map – Part I: The base(map) A thoughtful dive into the open source web mapping tools. Recommended. Read here: https://tim-salabim.codeberg.page/sotwm/sotwm.html #webmapping #opensourcegis #maplibre #gischat

The following workshop by Sheetal Borar, Chuxin Liu, PhD, and Shefali Shrivastava from the PyData Global conference dives into the foundation of transformer models. This includes building a transformer model from scratch using Python and numpy 🚀. 📽️: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWxD... #python #ai

On June 13, we will have a workshop on Using LLMs by @hadley.nz More info: bit.ly/4jmEAJW Please share! #RStats #EconSky #AcademicSky

#rstats Can someone explain the meaning of these prefixes in commit messages? "docs" is clear enough, but what do "feat", "chore", and "fledge" mean? This is from a screenshot of commit messages in the {duckplyr} repo.

@emilyriederer.bsky.social nails it on her blog on #shiny modules Excited to do some deep dives on shiny modules this weekend emilyriederer.netlify.app/post/shiny-m...

#rstats How do people handle the .Rproj file appearing in the Git tab with the following diff? Do you use gitignore?

New Blog Post: My Notes on "How Tracking Data is Used in Football and What are the Future Challenges", a presentation by @spearman.bsky.social , Laurie Shaw, Javier Fernandez, Suds Gopaladesika, and David Sumpter: www.howardbaik.com/posts/how-tr...

I am using Positron every day and having a blast! Wrote up a small post outlining the key bindings I use and have created to make my life easier emilhvitfeldt.com/post/positro...

As far as I’m concerned, #webr and #shinylive is indistinguishable from magic. I can’t believe that since first installing #quarto-webr a few hours ago till now, I’ve gotten a relatively complicated #shinyapp exported, deployed, and running serverless. This is magic. #rstats

A slide which I decided to delete from tomorrow's presentation at #JapanR because I just found I know too little about graphics to talk about ggplot3.

Can I tell you about the gospel of our lord and saviour `theme_set()`? github.com/teunbrand/gg...

posting from #positron using #rstats package bskyr testing line breaks, tags, urls, and mentions: tag: #rstats url: https://christophertkenny.com/bskyr/index.html mention: @jeremy-data.bsky.social

If you're interested in trying out LLMs in #rstats but don't know where to begin, I've added a few two vignettes to elmer: elmer.tidyverse.org/articles/elm... and elmer.tidyverse.org/articles/pro...

Want to integrate auth into your apps in #rstats? OIDC may be something you come across. josiahparry.com/posts/2024-1...

I'm writing up a brief history of the tidyverse? What do you want to know about it? #rstats
