I just learned that a new hire to the org at $DAYJOB got a master's in data science without ever taking a probability or statistics class, and I have SO MANY QUESTIONS

Continuing my #python Rgonomics posts for the #rstats crowd, wrote a short post about the different ways to use (non-polars) user-defined functions in a pipe
Not the most groundbreaking thing, but one of those "the thing I needed to read a bit ago" posts

This man absolutely understood the assignment
Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....
genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

Debbie Dukeshire from Standard Publishing Corporation eloquently summarized our latest Insurance webinar while adding a fresh perspective, focusing on the scale in which Actuaries are currently working with data and the importance of documentation.

People at work have been telling me "live long and prosper" which I know is not a Data thing, but TIL there is a Vulcan salute emoji and how did I not realize this earlier 🖖
I was master of ceremonies today at my company's annual analytics day celebration. So I came dressed as Data. Obviously.

When I started out in economics I used to joke "if you can't quantify it, it doesn't exist". The longer I lasted in the field, the less funny that became
Yes! Now simply dismiss words altogether and advocate for putting all claims in the form of an equation which can be added to a DSGE model, and your journey to the economist side will be complete.

The proliferation of half-baked, disjointed AI tools jammed into every app in a company's ecosystem underscores the desperation to deliver in the wake of CharGPT. In the long run, this terrible UX has probably made consumers more wary of AI and less certain how to engage with it

Who's making the bumper stickers with "this awful gen AI web workflow could have been a REST API" because I'm buying all of them
Tomorrow I have to take 25 blurbs of text, copy paste them one by one into a UI, get an ID and link, and then go paste those into some docs
I’m reminded how much more I value of a good REST API or RPA/headless browser (Playwright!) over AI for the kind of work I want to delegate to a robot
