Artificial intelligence is shaping our world, but how do we ensure it aligns with human and moral values? Here’s a short review of “Moral AI” which addresses these and other questions: cosimameyer.com/post/moral-a... #MoralAI #AIethics #Ethics #ResponsibleAI

Discover posit::conf as an Opportunity Scholar! The deadline to apply is this Friday, February 21st. The program includes travel funds, accommodations, and registration. We shared reflections from a few of last year's Scholars: posit.co/blog/discove... Apply today! #PositConf2025 #RStats #Python

When I started creating portraits of women in tech last year, I had no idea how quickly it would grow into the "Amazing Women in Tech" series ✨ I set up a gallery where you can flip through the portraits: 🌟 Amazing Women in Tech Gallery: gallery.cosimameyer.com #womenintech #amazingwomenintech

It is with a full heart that I step down from my role with @rladies-cologne.bsky.social a chapter of @rladies.org that I had the pleasure of founding in 2021 💜

I played around with some functionalities of the @rladies-bot.bsky.social and @pyladies-bot.bsky.social to improve the blog post promotion. Using Gemini, I had a setup up and running in ~30 minutes. If you want to try it out yourself, here's my step-by-step guide: bit.ly/embed-gemini #python

I may be biased, but if you're looking for an opportunity to get involved in the #rladies community (and live in or near one of the best cities in the world), this is for you! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out or contact the chapter directly 😊 @rladies.org @rladies-bot.bsky.social

Here's some starter packs Python community: bsky.app/profile/sava... PyLadies: bsky.app/profile/cosi... Python core team: bsky.app/profile/hugo...

🏆 Nominate a PyLady for the Outstanding PyLady Award! The perks: - free registration to PyCon US (and travel grants), or - $1000 USD cash award Nomination accepted year-round, but the cutoff for recognition at PyCon US 2025 is Dec 31st. How to nominate? pyladies.com/blog/Nominat... #PyLadies

Another great starter pack - PyLadies on Bluesky 🙌

Because it never gets old... integrated gradients are a great (and accessible) way to start making your LLMs explainable 📖 Here's a blog post that I co-authored with @ankuepfer.bsky.social on this topic: bit.ly/bert-xai-post #pyladies #python #xai

For those interested in ethical implications of AI, as well as work on Responsible and Trustworthy AI - here is a starter pack (non-exhaustive) to help find out more or connect with colleagues go.bsky.app/RnucJWZ

To all the #pyladies and #rladies out there - if you have a blog or a YouTube channel and want to be added, feel free to reach out! Your content will then be featured by the @pyladies-bot.bsky.social or @rladies-bot.bsky.social 🙌

I would love love love to connect to more Research Software Engineers! This is quite #rstats heavy currently, but is open to all of any level! go.bsky.app/4kfWypW

PySky, what is your favorite automated documentation tool? Investigating to round out the docs of an internal platform I'm working on, and want something a bit more detailed than just a docstring-generated list of methods and inputs. One thing I'd like is class diagrams of derived classes #python

I'm so happy to see so many familiar and also new friendly faces here, so I thought it was time for a quick #introduction 👋 I have a PhD in #polisci and work as a #datascientist in the industry, where I've seen both the product and the consulting perspective.

If anyone has a reason to hype up language interfaces and LLMs, it’s @inesmontani.bsky.social—founder of Explosion, the company behind the Python NLP tools spaCy and Prodigy. But her take? Sometimes, a simple form does the job better. Let’s build more alarm clocks and less automated window knockers!

When you listen to a podcast and then they start talking about your blog post - that doesn't happen too often 😄 Thank you, #RealPython, for featuring my blog post on #datascience in #Python and #rstats (and why choosing both is also an option 💜) realpython.com/podcasts/rpp... #pyladies #rladies

Did you all follow @cosima.bsky.social's awesome #rladies bot? It occasionally Skeets blogpost by #rladies! Want to add your blog too? Have a look at our source repo for contributing information github.com/rladies/awes...

I spent the last few nights working on getting some #rladies and #pyladies features over here 🎉 The bots are still experimental, but we should have: ⭐️ repost posts that directly tag the bots ⭐️ repost posts that use the #rladies or #pyladies hashtags ⭐️ promote content from #rladies and #pyladies

If anyone from the #pyladies or #rladies community has a blog or YouTube channel, feel free to add them here so that the @pyladies-bot.bsky.social and @rladies-bot.bsky.social can post about your content 🫶

I set up a starter pack with #PyLadies on Bluesky - if you're also here and want to be included, let me know! I'm hoping to find more PyLadies over here ✨ bsky.app/starter-pack... @pyladies-bot.bsky.social

Off to exploring the #blueksyverse 💜 still in an experimental stage but very happy to share content tagging the bot as well as content created by #rladies

The PyLadies bot is now also on Bluesky! Still exploring functionalities but excited to be contributing to the Python community here 🐍

It’a so great to see so many familiar faces here 💜 I'm working on the @pyladies-bot.bsky.social and @rladies-bot.bsky.social integration - there may be some testing happening over there but if you don't mind, feel free to follow them! 🙌 #rstats #python #pyladies #rladies

When you come from Hugo, playing around with MkDocs for your package documentation is so smooth! (and when you click the link, you can see how the light bulb "turns on" when you switch to dark mode 💡) https://cosimameyer.github.io/overviewpy/

Hey #RStats! @r4ds.io is here now! Follow that account for #TidyTuesday and probably other things! https://bsky.app/profile/r4ds.io/post/3k2se37cgjp2s

New addition for my baby 💙 I love how the robot hugs the octopus and the snake hugs the R pirate ✨

The PyLadies and R-Ladies bot now also promote YouTube videos on Mastodon 🥳 (and this is what debugging looks like on an extremely warm summer day - at least there are some living plants 🌱)

The Awesome PyLadies' Blogs Repository is growing 🤩 I spent some evenings during the past weeks finding and reaching out to people (also for the Awesome R-Ladies' Blogs repository). It's so cool to see all the different blogs and feeds! 😍 (screenshot shows README of the repository)

It feels like this week is all about exciting news 🤩 Andreas Küpfer and I have been working on this post for a while now - it covers BERT and XAI from different angles and provides something for everyone 🤓 https://bit.ly/bert-xai-post

Playing around with #quarto for an upcoming event and it's great! 🤩 #pyladies #rladies #rstats #python

When I first learned the basics of #shiny, I thought of the server as the 🧠 and the UI as the 👤 Just in time for Halloween, here’s an intro to the #shinyverse in #rstats with more brains and bodies🧟‍♀️ ✨

Here's a short post on the basics of package development in #rstats. It covers the general logic and the very first steps you'll take when writing a package 🤓 It also comes with many helpful resources and other 📦to get you started! 👉

Debugging is a good approach to understanding code. And the cool thing: it’s not difficult but powerful 💪 There are 3 commands in #rstats that you need to know that do the work for you: 🛠️ debug() 🛠️ browser() 🛠️ undebug() 👉 To see them in action:

We’re exploring the beauty of #plotnine with @tanya_shapiro 👩🏻‍🎨 at the second event of our joined @pyladies and @RLadiesGlobal 💜

Writing functions is one of the core pillars of programming. If you want to learn how to write them and what I picked up as best practices, here's a short blog post (including an analogy why writing functions is like a blooming flower 🌸): 👩🏼‍💻 #rstats

Last week I talked about the perks of using #Git at @WeAreRLadies 😺 If you want a summary, I have a blog post for you 👇 (including a guide on how to use @rstudio’s code snippets to automatically set up your project structure 🤗) #rstats

If you’re looking for ideas on how to customize your #Hugo theme, I might have some inspiration for you 💅🏻 I recently moved from Hugo Academic to Hugo Portio and tweaked the theme a bit to make it a better fit for me 😊

I had an amazing time curating the @WeAreRLadies💜 If you consider curating the account, sign up for it! It's a fantastic experience☺️ If you need more convincing, here's my experience and why you should do it: (while the memory is still fresh✨) #rstats

The best part about curating @WeAreRLadies is that you always learn something new yourself 🤗 I just learned that GitHub has finally also an organization README - have a look at our overview at @mzes_ssdl! 🤩 #rstats #python #data

One of the coolest features of our #rstats 📦 {overviewR} is the possibility to present your sample in a cross-table. Coming from a #polisci background where I studied post-conflict countries, I often wanted to know how my observations behave depending on two conditions. #rladies

The #rstats 📦 {overviewR} also tells you something about missing values in your data! 🕵🏼‍♀️ The cool thing is, you can check for it row- and column-wise. #rladies #overviewR

With overview_tab and overview_print you can generate publication-ready tables for reports or scientific articles 🥳 #rstats #rladies #overviewR

To better understand how your ids are distributed across time in your data, you can use overview_plot from {overviewR}. #rladies #rstats #overviewr
