useR! 2025 → todo su contenido online, libre y gratuito.
Paquetes: recipes, rsample, renv, sf, gt, targets.
Tutorial: conexiones a bases remotas desde Quarto.
Referente: @yabellini
Eventos: posit::conf, Shiny in Production, EARL, R/Pharma, R+AI.
Wherever there are statistics and data, there is uncertainty, so how do you express it in your plots?
Join Dianne Cook and Harriet Mason in this tutorial to learn what visualising uncertainty is, how it looks like and how to do it using #RStats.

As a creative and #designer, I've always felt a gap between my world and the world of data and development. We need a place where those two sides can come together to create truly novel solutions.
That's why I'm starting Brew & Build days with FediCollective! It’s a low-pressure third space: think coffee shop, not conference room where creatives and data folks can mingle, share ideas, and organically form teams.
The ultimate goal is to fuse the empathy of creative design with the rigor of data science to build the next generation of social platforms. It's about building a better internet, one coffee and brilliant conversation at a time.

Brew & Build: A #FediCollective #ThirdSpace
An informal, low-pressure gathering for professionals to connect, share ideas, and build the future of the internet. This is a community for innovators who believe in bridging the gap between creativity and #DataScience. #BrewBuild #CoffeeWithCrissy
Day 17 of #100DaysOfCode
I filmed a video tutorial for how to use the new gpt-oss #AI models with #HuggingFace's API. I will post it later.
You can modify the #Python code I made

See example output below from gpt-oss-20b for how to read more effectively and faster

New course: Just Enough Python for Data Scientists!
This is a practical, code-first course that teaches the Python you actually need for data work, plus the engineering practices that make your work repeatable and sharable. It is not a survey of every Python feature or a whirlwind tour of ML. You’ll build and run real code, improve existing notebooks, and package useful utilities so teammates can uv pip install them. #python #datascience @mkennedy

Surprised to see a #Python package on #pip called deutschland. Apparently, there is a #Deutschland API (#Germany API), which facilitates standardized access to various #public services of the #German government.
I wasn't even aware of the many public interfaces that the government and public services provide.
Kudos!
@NumFOCUS are adamant in promoting Israel.
I wrote to their directors previously asking them not to promote Israel as it undertakes a genocide. They ignored me.
The latest email again promotes Israel.
Their own values require events under their banner not to be discriminatory, to be inclusive and aligned to democracy and human rights. A Palestinian living in Gaza or the illegally occupied West Bank under Israeli control (through no choice of their own) will face incredible discrimination attending PyData TelAviv.
Numfocus have revealed who they are.
cc @cheukting_ho - none of Directors I emailed replied. Do I need to contact their legal team? They should know international humanitarian law, right?
Kungfu just says, "Keep going." Like, there is an old saying, "Beyond the peaks are higher mountains; beyond the skies are loftier heavens." True to form, no matter how high you climb, there is still more. I mean, it gets harder the higher you go, but... that is kind of similar to things like oxygen deficiency in real life. The only problem is... irl, you can get science to help you through tools. In #datascience you must eventually wait for the tools to catch up

Edit: Why 6 months? え～ the short answer is, "because I started 3 years behind everyone else." At the time, #datascience was not well defined as a career direction, and #ai models were still trying to gain traction. I.e. as simple #neuralnetworks that provided a computational advantage over their statistical model counterparts. So, if I did not do at least that much, it would have been in vain
