Amazing Halloween decoration up in #Manchester #UK near the Gay Village. A giant pink spider climbing down wall! The wall belongs to an Alice in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass themed tea room. I love this city.

A super useful #tidyverse function for #bioinformatics in #rstats with deframe().
Get a named vector of linking protein/gene/kegg identifiers and then attach to a table from elsewhere to translate the new tables ids:

I'm continuing to use #Positron for #rstats writing a paper using #quarto.
I've just noticed the scroll bar contains a sort of heat map of recent edits, and current cursor location. So simple and useful. Can't find any actual documentation for the feature though.

The way these people talk about #LLM reminds me of this quote from Babbage on dealing with people who didn't understand what his difference engine was doing.

Genuinely struggle with this. Working in science aimed at innovation for economic impact I want pathways to market. But several devastating UK scandals, to people first but also economy and public finance:

If you set option thorugh:
options(ellmer_timeout_s = <ms>)
It alters the time out. Should probably go in a .Rprofile file if used often.
See below, I asked qwen2.5-coder about The Lord of the Rings just to test the longer timeout. It's wrong, but close, a bit like the code it produces...

Just my notes on using gander in R with ollama qwen2.5-coder:32b running localy. Not convinced it's going to be terribly helpful. Made simple mistake in example code.

Lastly I compared protein quantification obtained from DIA-NNv2.0 and DIA-NN v1.9. Plot shows y=y line in black, regression line in blue, data points in red with high transparency. Quantification is fairly tight. DIA-NNv2.0 underestimates wrt v1.9.

Once data is in it needs some tweaks to get the columns named in the way MSstats expects. Fragment data is now included in separate columns and has to be concatenated into a single column for MSstas.
