With thanks to @simonwillison.net, @martinapugliese.bsky.social, and @tussles-shriek.bsky.social I've got a small example of handwritten lecture notes to markdown working with gpt-4o.

Not perfect, but my starting pic was terrible; the results are impressive given that!

If you're teaching R, or statistics, and you want your students to get more practice of data wrangling with "messy" data, you can use the {messy} package to turn the clean data you currently use for examples into more realistic looking data!

Came across this fun #rstats package from @nrennie.bsky.social that turns clean datasets into messy ones. github.com/nrennie/messy

The first commit was in Nov 2020 (!), it's racked
up 581 github ⭐️s, and it's currently getting 4k users / month, so I would say this is long overdue, but I've finally done a version 1.0.0 of Coding for Economists!

My heart goes out to all the job market candidates from developing countries, who worked so hard for so many years, and now might not get jobs because of missing flyouts due to visa appointment issues. And no, Zoom flyout IS NOT equal to in-person.

So tired of these Schengen visa appointments and their so-called policy fiasco! Missed two talks this year already; going to miss another in November and January. I'm done with this Schengen visa BS. Total waste of money and time! Academia is for people with strong passports!
