We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions!
We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family:
- `filter()` to keep rows
- `filter_out()` to drop rows
- `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers

A number of people have told me this piece has been useful for them, maybe it will be for you, too — a simple description of the consensus view on AI amongst actual tech practitioners, presented as a tool for those who need to push back on the distorted narratives that tycoons are feeding media.
Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

Discovery and artificial intelligence-guided mechanistic elucidation of a narrow-spectrum antibiotic - Nature Microbiology
Enterololin is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic that selectively kills Enterobacteriaceae in vitro and in a mouse model of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli gut infection. AI-guided mechanism-of-action studies identified LolCDE as its molecular target.
