@libbyheeren.bsky.social is always telling us to work out loud so I'm going to spin up a thread about the soccer analysis work I've been poking around at. I'm a big supporter of the USL Super League / Gainbridge Super League and have been messing around with modeling playoff probabilities.

The NWSL is upping the ante on 'pretty privileged' with #1 here.
....this is the NWSL's proposed criteria for who can access an extra $1m in off-cap salary.
The idea of not allowing someone to earn extra money because they do not fall into these categories but someone wants to pay them, is perplexing.

The LLM privacy question comes up (rightly so) on every data community call I'm on. I've had sooo many questions myself. #databs #rstats #pydata

Privacy and AI Assistants - Posit
Many of our LLM tools can execute code and access your files. What does this mean for privacy?

#rstats Please welcome Jarl, a new R linter.
Jarl is a CLI tool with extensions in VS Code, Positron, and Zed. It can check thousands of lines of R code in milliseconds.
Jarl provides several output formats, a Github Actions workflow, and more.

in 2012, you could get your halloween burrito at chipotle for $2. now that same 'deal' is for a $6 burrito, which is nearly what the menu price for a chicken burrito was back in 2012.

{fs} is one of those extremely dope R packages that I always forget about. the OS specific file path management functions are 👌

Hey, #databs and #rstats - would you forgive me using these hashtags to ask for help finding a new area to live? My husband and I need an affordable farm-ish to move to in the #NewEngland area! Where do you love to live?!
We need >= 1 acre + access to medical, & can't afford to live near the coast

is shinyapps.io deprecated to make way for Connect Cloud? I'm used to publishing to shinyapps from RStudio but just realized that it's not available in #positron right now.

remember when it felt like we heard talks about the ethical use of machine learning for like half a decade and then LLMs came out and the industry was like "jk"

A month or two ago someone posted a link to their really amazing set of LLM system instructions for writing #rstats code with good tidy/NSE patterns. (They were also good for humans!) Does anyone recall who or where that was?

Whoever came up with the 'Copilot' branding must've been the same person that coined 'Redwood National and State Parks'. Constantly explaining the difference between M365 Copilot, Github Copilot, and now Azure OpenAI Copilot endpoints is tiresome.
