I have to say that it's very helpful to see the "tidymodels way" to build R packages using Python libraries. Thanks.

Anyone binding chronos or moirai to R? 🧙🏻

Messing with this all day & just had a great out-of-sample prediction 🙌🏻

It works well if you split-apply-combine.

Check it out!

What I thought was only a @topepo.bsky.social experiment, has now moved under tidymodels:

Alrighty survived week 1, week 2 is underway.

Opening up the ol "Dashboards with Shiny for Python" quarto documentation🤞🏻

Didn't really factor in the fact a challenge may require creating a shiny app 😅
This is the second year my team has put together an internal facing Advent Of Code!!

It is a data wrangling & tabular focused AOC.

The twist, this year my submissions will be in Python instead of R 🐍

A new release of chores is now on #rstats CRAN!

There are now some LLMs tiny enough to run on a laptop that are capable of powering chores helpers. Here's a real-time demo with a model running on my Macbook.

First year my main is a linux + nvidia laptop & I finally had to honor of purging & reinstalling a major GPU nvidia driver issue. 😬

I cannot figure this stuff out on my own at all.

While we critic everyday AI code, LLMs walked me through the whole process of the fix which was awesome.

Honored to have my code in here

This is next week! A fun discussion about ggpal2 & chores.

I think the coolest part is you should leave understanding how to create your own chore with little to no code.

If you're new to AI or want a low-barrier way to create an assistant with R, chores is a great place to start.

Tested a few new models for R packages & some small models on predicting numbers as lexicon tokens.

Gemini 3 Pro is a really good R programmer. Sonar is great for debugging, & gpt-oss is good at being a tense model. Ran Opus & Gemini side-by-side but preferred Gemini.

📣🚨 Very much looking forward to hearing from @frankiethull.bsky.social about the intersection of coded data viz and AI assistants! 👀🚀

Join us Tuesday Dec 2nd, at 3pm Eastern to hear about {ggpal2}, a {chores} extension. #ggplot2 #ai #chores

📅Nov 20, 1869 Charles Joseph Minard published his iconic flow map graphic of Napoleon's March on Moscow.

Some called it best graphic ever produced, but EJ Marey put it best:
"Defies the pen of the historian in its brutal eloquence"
