Hey #rstats fam, is anyone else having issues with the new Pandas update and reticulate? It's not converting the pandas DataFrames to R for me on AWS SageMaker and I can't quite pin down why.

Question for public health folks:
Do harm reduction campaigns -- eg, anti-vaping "you're vaping formaldehyde, which is used in taxidermy"! -- get scooped up by anti-vax kooks?
Formaldehyde is in some vaccines, which I understand to be fine!
Is the fight on several fronts worth it, all told?

Got distracted while mocking up something in lego studio and realized with the newer part that spans from one corner to another that I can make Truchet tile mosaics!

hey #rstats is there a place to see the changes in reticulate 1.43.0 ? I do not see it in the news and currently seeing some code failing to create the conda environment like it did in 1.42.0.
I know 1.43.0 just released yesterday on cran, but I don't see it on the change log page

this is especially bananas because if you click through to read the full answers the models tend to add stuff like “by the way this is really hacky and you would definitely want to consider some other factors…” Gemini calls its own formula “problematic”

One of the reasons I appreciate @clauswilke.com's DataViz text is this quote, and I think it has applicability beyond just data visualization.
