Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Today, Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.6 with a #Finance plugin. I tested it on capitalizing VW's R&D expenses. In one vague prompt I got a full spreadsheet with amortization schedules and ROIC calculations.

I looked at the social science–relevant Claude Code skills in this library. They didn’t convince me, and the sample “papers” on the website were even less compelling.
But I’m happy to hear success stories and be proven otherwise.

Tired of littering your R code with `na.rm = TRUE`?
I put together 📦 tidyna 📦: it masks common R functions so they handle missing values by default. It also catches base R edge cases, like `sum(c(NA, NA), na.rm = TRUE)` returns 0.
Feedback welcome!

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?
We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

It’s good to see me, isn’t it? 💜✨
Yes, yes, the rumors are true — we are OFFICIALLY launching here on Bluesky!
In case you forgot, we’re a place to buy books online where every purchase supports local bookstores, not billionaires.
Thanks for being here 🙌🏽
