And any other kind of skill these things are trying to replace.

Genuine talent doesn't emerge from a vacuum.

It results from a massive effort: try, fail, learn, and repeat until failure becomes success, whatever that means.

Running the loop for long enough might get you there, hopefully.

Offloading the grind to a machine surely won't.

This take on "AI art" by Matthew Inman (author of The Oatmeal, rings a bell?) is brilliant: theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

I can hear it's internal monologue in my head.

Hear hear! Demotivated applicants don't usually apply to soul-crushing selection processes anyway.

Best two in the league? And the position is stacked with talent across the league: Kelsey Mitchell, Paige, Plum...

Jewell Lloyd has one of the silkiest jumpers in the league!

#r2u had its first 'three million packages delivered' month in September (outside that two-day Sep 2023 outlier) bringing the total to over 54 million #CRAN #Rstats packages shipped as #Ubuntu .deb binaries.

#r2u. Fast. Easy. Reliable. Pick All Three.

If it isn't in your "featured" section, you are doing it wrong.

I had no idea, thank you!

I am bummed for the Lynx, this amazing team deserved better. No shame though, this Mercury squad is freaking tough to play against.

On the other hand, the Hospital Fever got the Aces against the ropes. Go Fever!

I don't know, it's too hard to parse.

I’m not letting an LLM write __MY_CODE__.
I’m perfectly capable of producing my own slop.

Since I'm thinking about it, here's the network of geologic test holes drilled by the Nebraska state geological survey since the 1930s. Detailed lithological and stratigraphic logs. The goal not always achieved, was to drill to the Pennsylvanian in the east, to the base of the Cenozoic in the west.

He's famous for being tough as nails with the girls. Ask Kelsey Plum about it (she mentioned it in her interview with Sue Bird)

A few words on survey weights, why I'm embarrassed to have forgotten to take them into account in the past, and how I got lucky because I personally didn't get burned. Not a mistake I intend to repeat in the future

Have you tried installing the older version using {remotes}? That might not work if the older version isn't compatible with the new R version, though. But it's worth a try.

if you are interested in using the process model for attribution or species distribution modelling, check out our R package: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 2/3

I was excited for a second seeing Amelia Earhart trending (maybe they found her?), but nope, it was just another shit stain on the wall.

Is that package maybe calling another language (C, C++) to generate the random numbers?

Congrats Timo 🚀
This is the kind of paper I'd love to write myself!

Very cool climate-change study using long NDVI/climate time series and process-based models by my dear @timoconradi.bsky.social l and colleagues.

Just done with my early #rstats development session:

- 100% bug fixes.
- 0% new features.

Past me really outdid himself.

Here's mine!
