Well, it's official. #UNL Chancellor Bennett submitted his final proposal and it includes eliminating the #statistics department. budgetprocess.unl.edu/final-budget...
Guess it's time to go look for jobs. Anyone looking for a couple of very talented #datavis researchers?

My keynote about data science tools at posit::conf is now online! I originally meant it to be a talk about Positron, but as I was writing it, it took a left turn through the history of RStudio and into the philosophy of tool design & how to build stuff for people.

We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions!
We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family:
- `filter()` to keep rows
- `filter_out()` to drop rows
- `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers

I gave the closing keynote at posit::conf in September and it's available to watch. When you find yourself giving a talk with a little tiny microphone stuck to the side of your head you have to ask yourself some hard questions, but the talk was partly about that.

If you're following the #UNL #statistics saga (proposed for elimination based on bad stats), you might find the seminar we gave yesterday interesting... youtu.be/fUk2R0UYWpA
It was weird to rail against someone for an hour, but strangely cathartic, and the #datavis seems to have been effective?

Hopefully, today the #statistics department finds out what the acad prog cmte will recommend to the chancellor. The next step is the #nebraskaRegents. We have a letter-writing campaign to show this set of cuts is politically unpopular and will hurt the state.

I just got this email from ChatGPT. Is anyone really worried that people are holding off until they have "a plan or the perfect question" to use these tools?! Or was this reaction-bait that I fell for?

These companies must be using the same crazy survey provider. What is this?!
![Survey with the question "How likely are you to recommend [solidcore] Durham to a friend or colleague?" Options 0-10 are arranged in a very bizarre order with 0 at the bottom 1-9 in three rows with numbers starting on the right on each row, and a much bigger 10 button on top.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wa3y2owhtlw2amehkgerjqoo/bafkreigry25vcfcutxiy3x2ilqqql2dr6v4one3htwgzbdugfhbtfxtxgy@jpeg)
