If you use #positron #rstats and #duckdb I'd love to know what you think of this:

`duckdb-r-editor` a Positron extension for duckdb SQL code highlighting and completion within R files.

Climate Hub Davos. "How you interpret data is crucial to interpreting risk."

Everyone's building data products. Few are building the interpretation layer - Geospatial foundation models + causal inference + counterfactual baselines, not just maps.

We've been awarded @esa.int funding for "Conservation Integrity: Geo-AI powered transparency 4 Nature-Based Solutions" 🛰️🌳
Its a difficult question in #forestconservation: what would have happened without intervention?

#Restoration is seen as the safer bet for #carbon finance. But it faces the same baseline challenge as avoided deforestation.
Both require a defensible #counterfactual. We revisit a
