My son came up with a silly language where you add -ie to the end of each word. Like a shirt is a “shirtie” or milk is “milkie” So I told him about Australia and he absolutely lost it

Blown away Using OpenAI’s Deep Research is like collaborating with a PhD student (It told me it would get right on it then ghosted me)

Being able to read is OP for a dad I take my son around the Natural History Museum, he asks about anything, and I rattle off what the plaque says He thinks I’m a goddamn genius

Here is a talk by @drob.bsky.social at @posit.co's conf 2019. The ideas shaped and voiced there are priceless. I've been suggesting this talk to my @datavizartskill.ikashnitsky.phd students ever since, and hopefully some of them found it as useful and motivating /3 youtu.be/th79W4rv67g?...

My #rstats solution to Day 1 of #adventofcode * Fun use of gather and spread (I know I'm supposed to be using pivot_longer and pivot_wider, but old-dog-new-tricks) * One step I got stuck on was setting a ties.method in rank()

Who is doing #rstats Advent of Code this year? ❄️🎄

I think about this piece at least once a week: nothinghuman.substack.com/p/the-tyrann...

Tired: P-hacking Wired: Querymandering

Question for #databs folks: I am searching for a recent write up of how data careers/titles are evolving. Has anyone written or read something that resonated on this lately? I’m hoping for a boots on the ground point-of-view of basically “where have all the data scientists gone” 🤠

Remember in Squid Game where the contestants in mortal danger barely managed to reach safety through a popular vote And then later the dull banality of regular life drove them to voluntarily re-enter mortal danger Dunno what made me think of that
