If you are in need of memorable/human readable uuids, may I suggest {{dexid}}, an #rstats package that creates ids from adjectives and pokemons? 😀

We are currently developing a new interactive network viz package based on the JS engine G6. So many cool features to come! Checkout the current status on github github.com/cynkra/g6r #rstats

#Rstats hivemind: what is the correct way for a plumber API to read/write parquet files? I did not get `parser_parquet()` to work properly (and would rather have nanoparquet anyway) so this kind of works but I am unsure if thats ok 🙈

New version of rchroma is now available! The #Rstats pkg wraps the API of ChromaDB, an open-source AI-native database that makes it easy to store, search, and retrieve vector embeddings alongside metadata. Perfect for building RAGs!

It is now much easier to run the container and save db tables.

Not sure if this already exist, but I created a #quartopub filter which adds a domain preview to each link in a quarto html document. Might come in handy for accessibility.

@christophsax.bsky.social and I wrote an #rstats package for ChromaDB which is now available on CRAN🎉🎉🎉

ChromaDB is an open-source vector database designed for efficient similarity search—great for working with LLM applications like RAGs!

Here is the result of one of my last academic endeavors: Paperwizard, an #rstats package to extract readable content (such as news articles) from webpages using Readability.js

New Year, new career. Yesterday was my last day as an academic. Now it is time for the "Real World".

Last year December I created my first #QuartoPub dashboard for a "GitHub Wrapped". Still works like a charm 😁 #rstats

#AdventofCode Day 07 in #Rstats
Yes this was again solvable with eval parse. Was that efficient? hell no! but doing left to right execution by inserting parentheses in a string is a 9000IQ move, I'd say

Starting #AdventOfCode on Day 03 with #RStats 🙂
I think it took me like a second to scream EVAL PARSE!!!
One of my favorite concepts in R 😆

I tried to get a hang gt for so long and now I finally sat down and did it. It always felt cumbersome to me but I have to say it is quite easy to use once you get into it #Rstats
